BRITISH MISSION ARRIVES. Balfour and Party Reach America. Thanks for Silence. Washington, April 21.?Foreign Minister Balfour and the other members of the commission sent to America by the government of Great Britain are expected to arrive in Washington tomorrow afternoon 011 a special train. The landing of the distinguished party on this continent was announced by the State department and in a day or two there will be a definite statement concerning the series of great war conferences for which the commissioners have come and of the entertainments arranged in their honor. Word was received today that Sir George Foster, acting prime minister of Canada, and Sir John Pope, under-secretary of external affairs of the dominion, would reach here tomorrow to meet and confer with the British officials. Secretary Lansing received tonight this telegram from Mr. Balfour sent in reply to a letter of greeting: "Allow me to thank you most cordially for the warm expressions of welcome from the government and people of the United States conveyed in the letter handed me. Please convey to the president my deep appreciation of his friendly sentiments and tell with what great pleasure I accept on behalf of myself and my mission the generous offer of hospitality made by the president on behalf of the nation. "May I add an expression pf the nrofnnnd <anH<5fnr?tirm u*ith whirh t find myself on American soil at this crisis in the history of the world." The official announcement said: "The department of State has been advised of the safe landing of .Mr. Balfour and his party/' In a supplementary statement the State department expressed its appriciation to those newspapers which, in cooperation with the government's efforts to insure the safety of the British party, refrained from previously publishing news of their arrival, and expressing news of their arrival, and expressing its deep concern that others disregarded the gov, ernment's request. The 'statement ffollows: "The department of State wishes to make known to the public that on April 17 and again on April 20 it issued confidential requests to the editors of the country asking that there be no publication of news or speculation concerning the movement of " the British mission which is coming to Washington, until the department was in a position to make announcement. If was specifically explained that these requests were made for reasons rnnrerniner the safetv of Mr. Balfour and his mission. "To those newspaper editors who loyally observed the injunction the department of State desires to express its thanks; and to express its concern at the failure of others to observe this reasonable and necessary , request." What Nations Think of Us. Cuba ranged herself with the United States in war against Germany because old "reasons of gratitude" on account of our treatment to the island, and the resolution of war declared that the republic "ought notto waste a single moment in taking such action." An American business man, back from a trip to the far east, says China cannot forget that the United States, alone among nations returned the indemnity which the Chinese government paid on account of the Boxer outbreak. And he says that China today looks upon America as the one nation of the earth which is unselfish enough to be just and worthy to be trusted. This ancient empire, when it declared its republic, took its name after ours, the United States of China. Cuba offers to send an arm* to serve with ours and go where the American flag goes. This is proof that the ways of a nation in its treatment of smaller nations can be of inestimable benefit to itself, if they are founded upon justice and fair play.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. l*ebs Would Rather lie Shot. "I refuse to go to war for any capitalist government on the face of this earth," said Eugene V. Debs in a speech in New York recently. "I'd rather be lined up against a granite wall and shot for treason to Wall street than live as a traitor to America." Debs, three times the candidate of the Socialist party for the presidency, spoke at Cooper Union. The Socialists had bought up every seat in the hall and were standing in the rear. "If the workers are true to themselves." said Debs, "they will unite in the event of the war and declare a general strike that will paralyze the industry of the country." Both assertions were loudly cheered.?St. Louis Post-Dispatch. STIUKE COXTIXl KS IX BKKLIX. Big Munition Factories are Affected by Thousands Quitting Jobs. Copenhagen, via London, April 20. ?According to the Berlin Vorwaertz, the strike continues everywhere in Berlin, and Chancellor von Bethniann-Hollweg's reply to a deputation of workers from the Deutche Waffen and .Munitions Fabrik, of Berlin, was a declination to assume the task of arbitrator.

Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg, says the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, having declined to discuss the situation with a deputation, headed by Hugo Haase, president of the central executive committee of the new Independent Socialist Democratic party, 20,000 workers in four factories in greater Berlin decided to continue their strike. What is Love? That there is a wide range of opinion on the subject of love is indicated by the results of a contest which has just been closed by the New Orleans Times-Picayune. That newspaper offered cash prizes for the best answers to the question: "What is love?" In all 23,761 answers were received. .Most of them were from women, and dealt seriously with the subject. In the main, the responses from male pnrrpsnnndpnts wprp safiriral. sareas tic or facetious. Three of the four principal prizes were won by women and six of the ten minor prizes offered also fell to women. All of those selections dealt seriously with the subject of love. The first prize was awarded to Molly Anderson Haley, .Mobile, Ala., for the following: ' "Love is the doorway through which the human soul passes from selfishness into service, and from solitude into kinship with all humanity." In selecting that from nearly 24,000 offerings, the jury announced that it was worthy of distinction because "it has in eminent degree dignity and beauty of form." Other winning answers were these: "Love is what makes red hair golden,' white hair 'silver' and no hair 4a noble brow.' " "Love is the gentle art of being very miserable in a perfectly happy fashion." "Love's like a well and a deep one, A fart vnn hnvck nntirpd tin doubt: It's easy enough to fall into, But hard as the deuce to get out." "Love?A song: music by father, words by mother." I "The thing that throws a halo around duty, makes poverty endur-j able, lightens burdens that would, otherwise crush, and makes any four walls a home?that is love." * "Love is a bank wherein every deposit bears interest, and, notwithstanding frequent panics among its patrons, the old reliable establish-! ment has never been forced to close I its doors." "Love is a chisel that carves into soft outlines the granite block of stern reality." Grand Dukes Had a World of Land. The Russian Grand Dukes, who have just formally turned over their "appanages," or official, grants, to the new government, have made a great financial sacrifice by this renunciation. The grand ducal estates surrendered aggregate more than 20.000,000 acres, including thousands of prosperous farms and many thriving towns and villages. The annual income from these estates is estimated at over 2"),000.000 rubles. The "imperial appanages," before the serfs were liberated, controlled over S00,000 agricultural laborers. Emperor Paul I set aside these vast estates for the benefit of the grand dukes because he foresaw the necessity of making the imperial family independent of the reigning emperor. Grand dukes who have at various times incurred the displeasure of the emperor and have exiled themselves, have always continued to receive their share of the appanages, with which the emperor was powerless to interfere.

Women can do a "good .10 per cent, in fighting the war," in the opinion of Secretary Lane, by conserving food and encouraging patriotism among tlie men. He sent this telegram a few days ago in response to a query from the General Federation of Women's clubs, in convention at New Orleans, asking what women can do for the country: "The women of America can do no greater work at this time than to raise their own vegetables, can'their own fruit, prevent waste in their homes and give impulse and enthusiasm to the men of the land. If they do this they will be doing a good 50 per cent, of the work of fighting the war to a finish. "Why not organize all the women's clubs of the United States into a 'lend a hand to Wilson league.' whose business it will be to carry on a propaganda for the things the nation will need?soldiers, ships, wheat, pigs, beans. If the women will see that the boys and girls serve in a great maintenance corps of the nation by putting in their time feeding the chickens, canning surplus fruit and vegetables they can count themselves among the saviors of liberty and civilization. "I have just talked with a woman fresh from Belgium. When she left the peasants gathered around her and kissed her skirts in gratitude Practically all of them have American flags in their homes which are looked upon as sacred icons by the Belgium peasants." Xerve Centre of War in Chile. In an area of 350 miles of arid, barren desert in Chile lies the nerve centre of the great war. If an un friendly power had held control of this desert tract, the war would have ended long ago with the crushing of the entente allies. It is the famous Chilean nitrate region. . William Howard Russell, a famous English war correspondent, wrote as long ago as 1889: "Without British control of the sodium nitrates of Chile the map of the world would be very different today." Germany now does not need to depend upon the Chilean nitrate deposits, for the German chemists are making synthetic nitrogen. However), for six months before the outbreak of the war in 1914 Germany had been receiving enormous shipments of sodium nitrate from Chile. It' is estimated, in fact, that Germany had on hand one million tons of nitrate in August, 1914. Some engineers say there is enough nitrate in the Chilean desert to supply the world for 200 yearai There are about 50,000 Chileans employed in the industry. Nothing grows in the region about the nitrate deposits: it is a dead land. To all appearances the Chilean nitrate towns are like the old time Western American mining camps. A great deal of liq,uor is consumed in the district and consequently there is considerable lawlessness. North and Harvey, two British adventurers, originally owned the nitrate concessions, but now the Chilean government controls most of the valuable tract. Chile fought a war with Peru for the northernmost part of the nitrate beds and won. The British, through their financial strength, exercise the greatest control of any foreign power over the fields, though three German brokerage houses were big producers before the war.?Kansas City Star. All Married Men Dp. Two men who had been old school fellows met the other day in a restaurant in Bangor, .Maine.

"Yes." was the reply: "second fiddle at home."?Philadelphia Public Ledger. Enterprising Newspaper Man.

Two English officers in billets were longing for a drink but dared not indulge as their landlady was a staunch teetotaler and would probably read them a lengthy lecture. "I know the trick!" exclaimed one, in glee. "Let's ask her for a drop of whiskey to clean our pipes with." The good woman was truly sympathetic when informed regretfully by the wily twain that their pipes were too foul to smoke, and promptly supplied them with the desired "cleansing fluid." , Later she asked with a kindly smile, "and was the whiskey successful?" "It was." replied one of the conspirators. "It was awfully kind of you." "Not at all," replied the landlady. "I was glad to make use\of it. i only bought it the day before yesterday to wash little Fido in, and the results were wonderful."?London Standard. 1 CITATION NOTICE.
