APPEALS TO HONOR
English Ambassador Makes Signifi­
cant Statement in Address.
Believes United States and England
Need Never Quarrel—Pays
Tribute to Bryan.
? V
New York—James Bryce on the eve
o f his departure for home after six
years as ambassador to the United
States from Great Britain, said his
farewell to the American people in an
address here before the PilgrimB so­
ciety o f the United States. He re­
ferred with feeling to his cordial rela­
tions with the three presidents in
office during his service in Washington
and said he had no words to convey his
sense of the kindness with which ho
had been received in America.
Mr. Bryce did not touch on any
issue now pending between the Amer­
ican and British governments. This
statement, however, was regarded as
significant:
“ With good will and with a convic­
tion that one o f every nation's highest
assets is that sense o f national honor
which will make it live up to its inter­
national obligation, all questions be­
tween nations can be adjusted, and I
am sure that any questions between
your country and mine will be adjust­
ed in that way. ”
Mentioning that more than a dozen
important treaties between his govern­
ment and the United States had been
concluded in the last six years, Mr.
Bryce said he had come to admire not
only the “ brilliant gifts o f former
Secretary Root, but his fairness o f
mind and his genuine love of peace.”
He added that he felt sure that Mr.
Bryan “ would show no less earnest
wish to work for accord and good will,
and Mr. Bryan, indeed, has given evi­
dence o f this.”
“ My mission,” he said, “ has been
not merely to represent my sovereign
and government for diplomatic pur­
poses, but also to bear a message of
friendship from the British to the
American people.”
BRYAN’S TRIP TO BE HASTY
Stay in Sacramento Necessarily In­
definite-Reception Cordial.
Chicago—“ I shall go direct to Sac­
ramento and return to Washington as
soon as I possibly can,” said Secretary
o f State Bryan here as he boarded his
train for the West. “ I cannot fore­
cast how long my absence may be, but
I hope it will be short.
I ought to be
in Washington.”
Mr. Bryan nodded his head with em­
phasis and added: “ I hated to leave
Washington just now.
I would not
have done so if it had not been neces­
sary. These are important days at
the capital.”
“ My mission,” he said in answer to
a question, “ as far as my memory
goes, is without precedent.
We may
create precedents in our conference,
but it would not do to speak o f them
in advance.”
That the secretary will have an
hospitable welcome in California was
shown in invitations he received here
by telegraph to address public bodies
in San Francisco and Sacramento.
Socialists Are Surprised.
Brussels— More than half the Bel­
gian workers who took part in the
strike for equal suffrage returned to
their employment Saturday, but the
resumption o f work was irregular in
some parts o f the country. Some of
the trade unions ordered their men to
begin Saturday, others on Monday,
while a few are determined to remain
out several days longer.
Disagreeable surprises met the
hands who had struck at factories in
the suburbs o f Brussels.
When they
appeared at the gates ready to recom­
mence work, all the old employes were
refused admission and were told that
they were discharged.
Girl Saves Falling Chum.
New York— Eighteen-year-old Mar­
garet Donovan was saved from a 300-
foot fall from the head o f the Statue
o f Libe.-ty Saturday by her chum,
Gladys Re ere, who caught hold o f her
dress just as she was slipping from
the window ledge that surrounds Miss
Liberty’s crown. Screaming for help,
Miss Revere held on to the dress with
both hands until other sightseers came
to the rescue and dragged the girl in
feet first.
Miss Donovan ventured
out on the ledge on a dare and became
dizzy.
• Anxiety Felt in France.
Washington, D. C. — Through Am­
bassador Jusserand here the French
government has called the attention
o f the State department to the prob­
able effect on existing treaties of the
new tariff bill.
Anxiety has been
caused in France by several o f the ad­
ministrative clauses o f the new bill,
especially those obliging merchants to
show their books and papers.
In
France a decision o f a tribunal is re­
quired to compel any man to do so.
Canal Zone to He “ Dry.”
Panama — By direction o f Lindley
M. Garrison, secretary o f war, the
Panama canal zone will be without
saloons during the coming fiscal year.
At present there are 35 saloons in the

Well, when the boy
got home he told his father that he
had bought a silver mine for $10,000.
"I knew they’d get you, you un­

“ But, dad, I didn't lose anything on
It,” answered the kid.
“ You didn’t? Well, you did. But
why do you think you didn’t?”
“ I formed a company and sold out
for $30,000.”
“You—you—where did you place the
stock?”
"In Cleveland."

I'm the man that bought It!”

"You can't do It, madam,” was the
