Washington, . April 24. While Juerican cruisers were sailing to rd rebel'menaced ports in Mex- b today there was lacking any m- ation of an altered attitude of the lfted States government. Unoffi- Hy it ,was declared any move by e United States was improbable less made necessary by the enacing of American lives or in vests. ' " The dispatch of warcraft to Maz- lan, Topotobampo' and Frontera as taken to piean nothing more an a guarantee so far as possible Americans safety. At Mazatlan e number of Americans was re- .irted to be fewer than 18, and a Inaller number at Topolobampo. The number of states the bonora presentatives here claim have ined m "the movement is seven, th a steadily growing list of bands f federal troops scattered through e state ycf controlled by Car nza. The most recent defection laimed is that of . the federal com lander at Linares, Nuevo Leon, on e' railroad line between Monterey d Tampico.

Officers and nen or a scoui cruiser auu a ut- i i . i a. tect American interest, were uusy early today making preparations tor a stay of unknown length away from this base. The cruiser, the Salem, was ordered to Mazatlan and the destroyer, the McCawley, to Topolo bampo. ; The hour of sailing had not been fixed definitely today, but it was an nounced that orders issued by Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman, commander of the Pacific fleet on instructions from the. ,Navy department called for departure as soon as the neces sary preparations could be made. Both ships took on quantities of stores yesterday and last night. So far as is known there has been no anti-American feeling manifested at either port. Officers said the plans of the Sonora . state troops, which call for attacks on Mazatlan and presumably other Mexican ports, probably made it advisable to have American naval vessels there.

The republicans expect to defeat Johnson of South Dakota, thus in creasing the opposition to the presi dent treaty stand and the democrats have.no assurance that the successor to Comer of Alabama will not be a democrat in favor of reservations.

I Vhile the democrats entertain hopes of defeating Smoot and Spen cer the republicans think they will have no difficulty in disposing of Nugent in Idaho and Phelan in California. Of the senators whose terms are expiring the following opposed the treaty either with or without reser vations: Republicans Brandegee, C o n necticut; Gronna, North Dakota; Moses, New Hampshire; Penrose, Pennsylvania; Sherman. Illinois. Democrat Thomas, Colorado. None of these republican seats is in .danger of capture by the demo crats. On the other hand, the repub licans are confident of electing a successor to Thomas of Colorado who will be either a irreconcilable or committed to reservations.

I do not .maintain that intelligent life could not exist on planets,, other than the earth;, tit if- so.'thaf'life will be so different because of the prevailing physical conditions as to be beyond the comprehension of man.

What senses could a Martian have? liars, is known to have a very light atmosphere.' It is not entirely improbable- that Martians have com plete control of their atmosphere and even Carry on intelligent con versation among themselves by rapidly altering the atmospheric pressure on their bodies.- '. When a human tries to visualize a Martian or a Ventisian. he constructs in his mind a being of very peculiar shape, size and appearance. But no matter how grotesque or how un canny and unearthly the stranger may appear, he is always compar able to some form of life present on our sphere. It is impossible for. the human mind to conceive of any form of life than what comes within its obser vation. . , Therefore it is very probable that Martians and Venusians live in a realm beyond the mind of man. Many people believe the human mind has no limitations. Just think for one minute of the end of space. Would it not be more scientific to attempt intelligent communication with some ot the lower torms ot earth animals instead of straining our ears, eyes and tempers to at tempt communication with an un known intelligence situated on any one of seven planets hurtling through space millions of miles from us. MISSIONARY TO CHINA RETURNS FOR VISIT HERE Rev. George S. Miner Brings Chinese Methodist Dele gation to United States. : , . . Rev. George S. Miner, in charge of the educational work of the Methodist missions in Foochow, China, who is heading a delegation of Chinese to the general confer- the Methodist church. SDCnt a few hours in Omaha yesterday. , Dr. Miner was tormeriy a pasior in Nebraska, and the four Chinese nrnfecenre whn are his fellow dele gates, were all educated in American universities. With the party is also a doctor of medicine, graduate of the medical school in Foochow, who is coming to America for postgraduate work. . Ranks High as . Educator. Dr. Hu Chi-Ping, who comes from the Foochow university, was grad uated from Syracuse, N. Y., and ranks high among native educators of China. The other Chinese dele gates to the general conference are Dr. L. C. Lin, from West China; Dr. Drang Ling-gao and Dr. C. M. Chen. Dr. Cheng Kun Chen will spend the. coming year In this coun try studying advanced medical prac tice. There are in China seven annual conferences of the Methodist church, which will send a total of 18 dele gates to the general conference. Of these, 10 arc Chinese, and of the Chinese two are to be women. Work in Foochow Old. The work in Foochow, of which Dr. -Miner is the educational direc tor, is the oldest mission work of the Methodists in the country, hav ing been started 70 years ago. Dr. Miner has been in Foochow for 28 years, having gone there from his pastorates in Nebraska, where he spent 11 years. He states that the mission educational system of the province includes work from the primary grades up through the uni versity, the advanced work being carried on in the union college, which is conducted under auspices of the Methodist Foreign board, the Christian Mission society of England and the American Board of the Congregational churches. Dr. Miner is enthusiastic over the possibilities of mission work in China, the people oi that nation hav ing responded eagerly to the oppor tunity to become acquainted with the civilization of the Occident. Edu cational missions, he states, are par ticularly helpful because so many teachers have been educated in America and have carried ideas back to their native country. Iron ore mined in United States last year, exclusive of that contain ing 5 per cent or more of mangan ese, is officially , estimated at 60, 466,000 gross tons, a decrease of 13 per cent from the year before.

Thompson1!! elden Silk Shop wwmm liTniTOniwiM The Modern Costume is frequently inspired by the periods of the past fl Master designers who create the costumes which we often consider as originations delve into the past history of the whole world for the ideas which they incorporate into the fashionable dress of the present day. Perhaps the source is Egypt, or China, or Spain, and again some peasant costume contributes a distinctive note which is quickly adapted in a manner pleasing to milady of modern times. No matter how seemingly original the thought, usually there is present something which has gone before and passed the stage of newness, sometimes centuries ago. The Furniture Pageant of 1 Sj The Orchard & Wilhelm Co. Week of April Twenty-sixth Portrays in a most comprehensive manner the creative periods of history which left their unmistakable imprint upon the furniture of their time and which in turn have de scended to us in all of their original beauty and charm.
