Dy Th AiMcUtcd rreu.
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. '
Navv Men Put ShiDS In Order
eady to Move Toward Mexico
San Dieom. Anril 24. 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.

Voice to Save Him
IUUIIIIUCU JT I will
defeat Smoot in Utah and Spencer
in Missouri. On the other hand, the
republicans stand an excellent
chance of defeating five or six dem
ocratic senators including one for
thet treaty without reservations.
,.. G. O. P. Expect Gains.
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.
Of the senators whose successors
are: to be elected next fall the fol
lowing voted for the covenant with
reservations: 1
Republicans Cummins, Iowa;
Curtis, Kansas; Dillingham, Ver
mont; Harding, Ohio; Jones, Wash
ington; Lenroot, Wisconsin; Smoot,
Utah; Spencer, Missouri; Wads
worth, New York; Watson, Indiana
10.
Democrats Beckham, Kentucky,
Chamberlain, Oregon; Fletcher,
Florida; Gore, Oklahoma; Hender
son; Nevada; Nugent, Idaho; Phe
lan, California; Smith, Georgia;
Smith, Maryland 9.
' May Lose Two Seats.
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.

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.

ligious conference which is to be
held in Washington May 23 to 30,
has been sent to prominent white
and negro educators and church
leaders by Archbishop J. J. Higgs,
of the Christ Episcopal church. The
purpose of the conference, he said,
will be to forward the campaign to
get the negroes who emigrated to
industrial centers during the war
back on the farms and to consider
plans for preventing further growth
of the feeling of distrust which now
exists between the races.

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.
