Powers did this statue, and it's a great
work of art. Before we pass on you
might notice the cuticle around the

out of solid marble."
The large lady lagged to look more
j at the buttonholes and the cutl

She will never know, perhaps, that

I ?s the last member of the
party had entered the President's room

critic made way for the business man.
"I notice," in said somewhnt bitterly,
"that my party is getting larger all the
time. I enjoy explaining the wonders
of this remarkable building very much,
but some of my friends here have not
paid their quarters."
Guide Gets Ilia Quarter.
The lady from Ohio, with that high
degree of curiosity which a clear con?
science Inspires, gared at her neigh?
bor? in a vain effort to ascertain which
ones had neglected to make the re?
quired sacrifice for history and for art.
"The charge for the trip is a quar?
ter," persisted the guide. "I'd like to
go on. It only takes about forty min?
utes and I'm sure you'll enjoy it, but
the charge is 25 cents."
Four men and a boy loft the room
hurriedly and S woman handed over a
dollar.
"Twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five," said
the guide. "This room was decorat
by Constantino Brumidl, a painter a
a patriot It I? without doubt the mc
beautifully decorated office room in t

the strain of the moment. No or

t'.iough it looked comfortable.
"I always urge the ladies to ?it i

Shanghai, r>?c. S The crew of th?
Chlne?e cruiser Chao-ho mutinied last
: night and opened fire on two other
warthtp? and the artenal. The fire
was returned, the engagement lasting
' tor an hour. Several ?ho?? fell in the
foreign .-once??ion.
Apparently the outbreak ha? been
??onfned to the Chao-ho. The Chinese
aathoritiet announce that ?he will he
i Bbelled U ' eeall ?t daybreak.
It i? regarded as significant that the
outbreak follows the publication In
Chinese ne??snaper? r-'centlv of a di
, gest of the representations against th?i
restoration of the monarchy, mad? to
i Lu Cheng-Hsiang. the Minliter of For
1 ? ign Affairs at l'eking, br the Japanese
. I harg?-? d'Affaires, ?upported by the
Hritish and Russian minister?.
Of further significance is the general
? ?uec-ss In the recent elections of dele?
gates who favor a return to monarchi?
cal rule. The delegate? were chosen
' to ?it in a national convention, at which
It was purposed to decide the fate of
the republic.
Twenty Men Went Out on Launch.
Conflicting account? of the nature of
the trouble are current, and owing to '
strict measure? taken by the authori?
ties It ha* been Impossible to obtain
official information. It nppear?, how?
ever, that at 2 o'clock on Sunday af?
ternoon twenty men ?ef forth from t!i?
foreign settlement in ? launch and
I went along the Chao-ho, which was
?ving onposit?? the Kiang-nan arsenal
On the arrival of the launch the
.rev: of the Chao-h?. mutinied, appar
' entlv by rearrangement. At about 6
I o'clock the mutineers opened fire on
the arsenal, the cruiser Hai-chl and
the gunboat Tuner-ching.
The Hal-chl and Tung-ching replied
and there was lively cannonadir | I :'
light and heavy guns for an hour. At
least half a dozen three-pound shots
1 fell in the foreign eOBCeeeiOB. The
ritj and countryside were thrown late
panic.
After the firing ceased the Chao-ho
rema.tied at anchor, keeping watch on
the other warship?. The arsenal
authorities notified the senior consul
; of the foreign s.-ttlement that the
Chao-ho would be shelled and sunk at
?laybreak.
Attempts to investigate the out?
break met with only partial success.
The Associate.I Press correspondent
endeavored to reach the arsenal in a
launch, but wa? challenged by the
Tung-ching and ordered to turn about.
Notwithstanding immediate compli
; anee with thi? order, the gunboat
opened fire, damaging the launch
??lightly.
Three subsequent attempt? to reach
the arsenal by automobile were un?
availing. On each occasion the .nit.-r
pickets were passed, after a ?trY
amination, but the Inner guards
turned back the automobile at the
point? of their rifle?. At the time of
the leal attempt, at ~ o'clock this
morning, there was a heavy outbreak
of firing.

The note presented October 28 to the

' F> rn ~?-.?? Trtrmn* B '*
Washington, Dec. 6. The friction
with Germany as a result of the de?
mand for the recall of Captains Hoy-Kd
an?l von Papen is likely to postpone in?
definitely, if it does not make impos?
sible, any understanding In the Lusi?
tania case, The Tribune learned to?
night. In ?ome quarters Mr. Lansing's
action at this time is cnnsi'lered a prac?
tical sdssissios of defeat on the sub?
marine issue. These negotiations had
not so far rosaltod in any basis of un?
derstanding which insured success,
though they were Still far from a dead?
lock.
The recall cases rested unchanged
to-day. Secretary Lansing preserved
MIBPlStS silence on all matters con
BSCtod with the German relations.
Ambassador von Pernstorff did the
same. Captain Bag-Ed, who came
down fron. New York vesterdnv, re?
turned to his post to-day. Captain von
arr'.vi i dur'.ng ?he day, and is
expected to remain for several daw
Uurnors persisted that vigorous ac?
tion of some kind would be taken with?
in a few days against others of the
Austrian and German diplomatic forces
in this country. The Department of Jus?
tice has gathered a mass of evidence in?
volving severa', such officers, and the
State Department has ample reason
for action if it wishes. There is some
question, however, whether it la de?
sired at this time to increase the ten?
sion. It i?. practically admitted that
the recall of a few agents will not go
far toward breaking up the German
machinery here, and the administration
may be content to rest on the assertion
of it?, rights already made.
A Hlow to Wilson.
The possibility of a deadlock in the
I.usitania case srai the subject of wide
and serio.i on here to-day.

Allies Must Dictate Terms, Says
London "Post."
London, Dec. 6. "Germany can have
peace as soon as she likes," remarks
the "Post" editorially, "but only on the
terms of the Allies.
"The right answer to the German
peace conspiracy is for the Allies to
?letermine what shall be the terms of
peace to be dictated when the right
moment eorr.i-s. In the case of Great
Britain, representatives from the over?
seas dominions must be called into
council."
The "Post's" 3udapest correspondent
dwells OB the peace taik there.
"In political circles in Hungary," the
correspondent says, "one hears nothing
else but an early conclusion of the war.
The return of Count Albert Apponyi
from Copenhagen is eagerly awaited.
He has been taking part in the Red
( ross conference and also had an un?
official mission regarding peace possi?
bilities.
"The Ford peace mission is highly
lauded in Hungary, the 'Pesti-Hirlap*
saying: 'Ford is the first American
millionaire to Invest money in a re?
spectable scheme for humanitarian
aims.'
"The Hungarian Grand Lodge of Ma?
son.? has vote?) to begin a ceaseless
work in favor of peace. The Fen
. u*. a rr.e-ting held in honor o'
the late James Keir Hardie, has Issued
an appeal for peace on economic
grounds, stating, 'We have had enough
of murder and starvation.'"
The Lausanne correspondent of "The
Times" claims to have accurate in?
formation from Berlin that the Ger?
mans got a tremendous fright during
the Anglo-French offensive the end of
September, and that at Brussels all the
papers and belongings of the headquar?
ter* *taff stood for three days packed
on motor cars ready for instant flight.
The Germans are still in a state of,
alarm, the correspondent continues.
They propos? in January' to make a
desperate offensive attack of their own
on the western front, and. to this end.
the Krupps are working feverishly to
prepare the necessary big guns and ma?
