criticised the administration for not

"I received a letter from a friend to
day, she said, "who wrote that he haJ
Invited ,24 persons to meet Ambassador

naa received 2i declinations. All the
mews i get from America on the sub
Jert Is to the effect that all the best
people In New -York 'simply refuse to
navo anything to do with Ambassador

rudiments of diplomacy knows he haa
committed blunders, to use the kindest
K xpresslon. .which should cost him his

.'' Mrs.. French went to the front on
behalf of the American Ambulance as
" soclatlons of Paris to make a report on
' the field and base hospitals.
' i "It was my good fortune to drive
everal staff officers to the lines In my
cur, and as a result I happened to see
A small slice of the baUle of the
Alsne," she said. "The officers were
Anxious to watch the artillery opera-
lions. SO I took them to u nolnt which
i l am not at liberty to mention, on the
heights overlooking the Alsne, Where
a battery was engaged with the Ger
mans across the river. The officers
apologetically informed me they would
have to leave me,, as they were going
forward under fire, so I remained be
hind with the chauffeur. I could hear
heavy guns booming near at hand ani
finally curiosity overcame my distrac
tion; so, leaving the car hidden in the
woods, I started across the fields In the
direction of the firing. Soon I could
ae shells bursting in the air and all
Of a sudden the whole scene of the
artillery . duel spread before me from
the high plateau on which J was stand
in.' . .,: - '' , :.' -
. Shells Burst Wear Ear.
Vaun were below me and to my left,
and tils Germans were hidden On the
opposite bank, but tiny puffs now and
then rising above the trees showed me
about where they were. It was so ex
' citing' the thought never occurred to
me that I was In danger, and even
.when shrapnel, burst's few hundred
feet away I- was so engrossed In the
spectacle my own peril seemed wholly
' unimportant Afterward I learned that
the Germana could easily hare hit me
If they 'had wanted to. Tbey never
tried to, however, whether from an
un-Teutonlc sense of chivalry" or be
cause It wasn't worth wasting shells on
one person I cannot say. Shells which
exploded In my neighborhood were sim
ply those badly aimed at the battery.
."After I had been standing there for
.. what seemed a long tinte my chauffeur
came up and begged me to retire to a
safer spot. I had started back, when
' we suddenly saw a Taube above the
..- German lines, and Instantly afterward
heard the firing of anti-aircraft guns
from our side of the battle line. We
. stood there, the chauffeur and I, gat
ing breathlessly upward, and beheld a
monoplane set out for the Invader.
- Then we witnessed that most thrilling
of all conflicts, a duel In the air. As I
stood looking Up at the two machines
circling above each other I realized for
the first time, I think, what a terrible
business war was. There was some
' thing indescribably sinister and vicious
'about the movements of those two
graceful craft, each seeking to destroy
the other. I shuddered with the hor
ror, of It, yet even then no feeling of
personal .fear came to me. . I can't ex
plain why, except that one is so en
. thralled by these things one seems to
forget one's self. After that I had

Anyone who wants to 'buy Japanese I
antiques and curios should visit Japan
now, because the greatest bargains of
a generation are being offered.
. In recent years more than 5000
Americans and a c good many other
foreigners have toured the country an
nually, and it is estimated that they
spent in it about $500 each on an
average, for curios, or a total of some
$5,000,000 a year.
Owing to the war, ;. however, there
have ; been practically no visitors at
all 'from abroad, with the result that
the curio dealers are offering their
wares for' a fraction of the usual
prices. : . - k'- , " -

Fisherman Is Drowned.
Marshfield, Or -Nov. 17. Eric Aho,
a fisherman, 40 years old, who came
here from Astoria this summer, was
accidentally drowned at the stave mill
Monday near his house float. Aho went
outside to fix a net and when found
was between two logs of the float. He
probably fell Into the water after some
sort of. an attack of illness.

Tokio, Oct 24. (By Mail to. San
Francispo) Some time In the far dist
ant future, when the official Chinese
wie Japanese troops op
erations against the Germans at Kiao
Chau is published, doubtless it will be
found that General Chang Hsun's
forces bravely prevented the Japanese
iroin venturing outside the zone
marked out for them by the Peking
government. .
Inasmuch as the Japanese are' now
at; Tfiinanf u, more than 100 miles) west
of the line they were told they : must
not cross,, this statement may 'seem
like an exaggeration, but It is hot.
'There are two roads from the coast
of the Shantung peninsula to Tsiuanfu.
One is the old postroad which i Con
fucius traveled several thousand years-)
ago; the other is the Shantung rail
road, only ten years old. I
From the-minute that the Chinese
-.discovered the Japanese would ad
vance by the railroad, .the former have
guarded the postroad unceasingly.
Hence not a Japanese has passed them
and General Chang Hsun has "saved
his face."
News has reached here that the
Moros of the Philippines scrupulously
observed President Wilson' day of
prayer for peace, with the exception
Of a contingent who had retired some
time previously to the top of a-hill
where they declared. war on the United
States.
Those who remain at peace made
considerable of an occasion of the day,
however. Those who have - become
Christianized met at the Mission chap
els, and the Mohammedans, not to be
outdone by the converts, assembled in
the mosques, where the prayers were
intoned in Arabic.;
Skeptical people declare there is no
peace prayer in the Mohammedan
prayer book, but the Moros hotly deny
this.
The Japanese foreign , office's an
nouncement that the German Island
in the Pacific which the mikado's
naval forces have seized would be occupied-
only temporarily has evidently
been accepted in much better faith in
the United States than in Japan.!
The Japanese press has hailed these
islands' occupation as a step in the
direction of expansion and there: Is lit
tle discussion of a future evacuation.
