optimistically faced the prospect of
securing the additional homes
Response Was Magnificent.
Atlanta has certainly responded to
our appeal In magnificent manner,"
declared Mr. Orr. "and we anticipate
no difficulty In securing the neces
sary accommodations. The work that

New Wriggle Sponsored by Wife of German
Diplomat at Washington Reception.
Close your eyes tight, Hnd think. Hard. This particular bit of medi
tation will require all your concentration.
Because you must Imagine yourself a fish - u regular fish, with a long
tail. The fish, which Is you, is standing on the tip of its tali, tryiug to
walk.
Funny, isn’t It? Ha, ha. And yet, not a bit of it, because they do say
that the ‘‘fish walk," resembling very much the operation that you are try
ing to frame In your mind, Is the latest thing In dances, and that It Is on
Its way to Atlanta.
The "fish walk.” being groomed as a successor to the moribund “bunny
hug" and the late lamented "grizzly .hear," has been auspiciously lntro-
duced to society. It first was produced at a party In Washington society
the other day, and acquired an Immediate and tremendous vogue.
And It was not Introduced by an American.
Madame Von Hcrwarth, wife of the military attache of the German
embassy, was hostess upon the occasion of the Introduction of the “fish
walk." and hence Is known generally as its sponsor.
Hut as to the “fbh walk” Itself, here It Is explained simply:
Face your partner. Stand erect, hold yourself rigid from the waist
down, and dance on your toes. Yon see. you get. the fish Imagery plainer
now, don't you?
Take sixteen quick steps forward on your toes, a la Adelaide Genee.
Tltey do say thnt the spectacle of a room full of “fish walkers” is wonderful.
At the end of the sixteen forward steps, skip four times sideways. Go
forwnrd again, and so on, until yoti have enough. It Is all very simple.
The directions on the bottle say that it is danced quickly, about the
same time as the “horse trot,” whatever that Is.
Atlanta dancers, always progressive, have framed for themselves a
code of instruction in the “fish walk." Hence, if you would be au fait,
follow these:
Forget the plebeian nature of the name. Call it, in the presence of the
Iwst families, the "piscatoriul promenade," or the "aquarium amble,” never
the "fish walk.”
Take a pride In Atlanta’s collection of ballroom zoology, and learn to
dance the new wrinkle.
Think, ulways, that you are a fish. It may be easy, maybe not.

Influence on the child.
The operation was performed by
Dr. Francis William Klrsch, at the
Christian Hospital two weeks ago.
In performing the operation Doctor
Klrsch removed a section of the skull
three inches In diameter. He found
that the skull had been pressing on
the memory canter of the brain, which
Is the upper portion of the left lobe,
snd that this pressure has caused
centers of the brain to adhere to the
skull. He loosed these adhesions,
and with delicate surgical Instru
ments untwisted the nerves and put
them back Into normal position.
UNITED STATES SENATOR’S
DAUGHTER IS A SOCIALIST
PORTLAND, ORE., May 3.—Friends
of United States Senator Harry Lane,
shocked at the conduct of his daugh

Nina McBride had blossomed out as u
Socialistic soap-box orator on one of
the principal streets of Portland. So
ciety friends of the wealthy young
woman, whose father was recently
elected to the United States Senate,
were astonished at the "unheard-of"
conduct of Mrs. McBride.
"You white-collared fellows!”
shouted Mrs. McBride from her posi
tion on the soap box, “get wise to
what is going on In society to-day.
Wake up and vote the Socialist

TALK ON SAFELY
Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice
Knows Something About the
Subject, Too.
NEW YORK, May 3.—Imagine be
ing a real ambassador to the United
States from a country like England
and yet so firmly bound by circum
stances that the only subject on which
you could talk with safety would be
sports.
Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice in
Just this predicament. The canal
tolls controversy, The Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, the situation brought
about by the fall of Scutari, world
peace, or the Krupps are subjecta on
which Sir Spring-Rice could talk rjid
which any newspaper would be glad
to print columns of, but being an
ambassador is strictly a silent job.
And Sir Spring-Rice la not going to
break either precedent or silence.
Sports, however is a subject with
which the English diplomat is thor
oughly conversant, and he was ex
ceptionally strong in his praise of
the American athletes in Sweden.
Sir Cecil sat In a big chair in the
library of Lawrence Godkln’s house,
where he and Mr. Bryce are guesta,
and, when not posing for his photo
graph or looking after the disposi
tion of his luggage, he conducted a
process of elimination by which the
list of subjects of which a newly ar
rived diplomat may speak with grace
and propriety narrowed down to ex
actly one. That one he attacked in
a manner at once cheery and diffuse.
“You see,” he said, by way of pre
face, “I am a diplomat and not a
statesman, and we simply can’t—I
mean to say, we’re absolutely forbid
den to speak about these things.
You'll find everything regarding my
age and sex, and so on in the public
prints, If you care for it—and I don’t
see why you should.
“Some day,” he said “you will be
an Ambassador yourself, and then you
will have your revenge.”
Ambassador an Oxford Man.
The Ambassador is a man of about
the same height a« Mr. Bryce, rather
under the medium, and his general
build and manner of carriage show
the effects of his athletic training in
his youth. He is an Oxford man—
Balliol was his college—-and he went
in successfully for rowing. That was
the subject on which he would talk
—sports and athletics.
“I come here from Stockholm," he
went on—he has been Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
to Sweden since 1908. "I saw the
Olympic games there, and I was very
much impressed with the victories of
your splendid American team. I am
sure that the methods of training and
the discipline of your men will be a
standard for the teams the other na
tions send to future games.
“It was a new idea to all of us,
thb* strict military discipline, the
bringing of the entire team over in
one ship, and keeping a close watch
on them, but the results proved its
efficacy. The Swedes were astonish
ed. They looked upon Americans as
persons who go at things in a dashing,
haphazard sort of way, and the sys
tem and mqfhod in the management
of your athletes fairly took their
breath.
“Why, the Americans appeared
there, every man of them acting as
if he were an archibishop, and the
businesslike manner in which they
went about the contests, the splendid
team-work and esprit de corps, dem
onstrated easily the superior merits
of their system/'
81r Cecil likes baseball—indeed,
there seems a strong probability that
he will become a fan. When he was
here before—he has been in this coun
try fourteen times, by the way—he
often went to the game and he knows
Its fine points and regards It as a
wholesome sport. He knows all
about college rowing in this country
too, and was pleased to learn that
he has arrived in good time for the
intercollegiate contests at Pough
keepsie and New London.
Here With Lord SackviHe.
“T was here with Lord Sackviile,
you know—that was a long time ago,"
he said, “and that reminds me of an
amusing incident at the steamship
pier when I went to meet him. Some
of your newspaper men asked me
about Lord SackviHe, and I said
he was a minister—we were only a
legation in Washington then—and,
looking rather puzzled, one of them
said he thought It rather strange
that Great Britain would send over
a clergyman, and asked what was his
lordship’s denomination.
“I remembered that yesterday when
one of the ship’s officers asked me if
I would pose for the newspaper pho
tographers. I thought of playing a
trick on them and having an English
clergyman on board, whom I knew,
impersonate me, for the purposes of
the camera. It would have been a
joke on them, wouldn’t it? But I
decided it would be a little too hard
on them, and, anyway, perhaps 1
couldn’t have persuaded the clergy
man to join my conspiracy.”
Sir Cecil’s title comes from his be
ing a Knight Commander of St. Mi
chael and St George, the order hav
ing been ccreferred by the late King
Edward in 1906. He is the second
son of the Hon. C. Spring-Rice, and
he was bom in 1859. Few diplo
mats in the service have had a more
widely extended service. He was a
clerk in the War Office and in the
Foreign Office, and was afterward
precis writer to Lon! Rosebery. Aft
erward he was Secretary of Embas
sies at Brussels, Washington, Tokio,
Berlin, and Constantinople. Then he
was Charge d’Affaires at Teheran,
British Commissioner of the Public
Debt at Cairo. First Secretary of the
Embassy at St. Petersburg, aiul Min
ister end Consul-General to Persia.

JAPS LIKELY TO SEND
ULTIMATUM TO U. S.
Continued From Page 1.
Japs from California schols in 1908.
Agreement Drawn Up.
At the crisis of the disagreement
Secretary of State Root and Mr. Tak-
ahlra, the Japanese Ambassador, un
dertook to draw up an agreement of
five articles, which became known in
diplomacy as “the gentleman's agree
ment.”
The articles contained nothing that
was substantial, except that the
United States and Japan agreed to
advise each other of any future change
in policy, and that pending questions
should be regulated as far as possible
by diplomatic and administrative
methods.
The impression which survived this
agreement was that Secretary Root
had made concessions to Japan, and
the trouble blew over until it was
possible to formulate and ratify the
treaty of 1911. This consummation
was one of the understandings be
tween Mr. Root and Mr. Takahira on
which the Immediate causes of fric
tion were removed.
Japan immediately went ahead with
the formulation of the treaty as it
now exists. It haa recently been shown
that it wa» altogether one-sided. It
gave to the Japanese certain rights in
the United States, while the so-called
rights of American citizens in Japan
are contained in a law of the Jap
anese Parliament of 1910, which the
Mikado has shrewdly refrained from
making effective. So far as the
United States is concerned, it is null
and void.
High officials hero do not believe
that Japan would regard as binding
any decision by the United States Su
preme Court on the alien land law
which would be adverse to Japan.
Japan’s whole contention will be
for her pound of flesh, bargained for
in the treaty of 1911. She will hold
that treaty paramount to all laws and
constructions of laws by the United
States.
At the utmost the United States
courts could do no more than to de
clare the California land law uncon
stitutional. There Is no mandate of
the Supreme Court that could compel
a private citizen in the State of Cal
ifornia to sell or lease his land to a
citizen of Japan.
The Impression prevails that Presi
dent Wilson would use the whole
power of the Government, invoking, if
necessary. United States marshals and
posses and the military arm of the
Government to render effective a de
cision of the courts against the Cali
fornia Legislature.
It is thought here that the omission
of the “ineligible” clause offers th?
slenderest possible basis for compro
mise or conciliation. Every expression
and intimation indicates that the Jap
anese Embassy at Washington is vig
orously opposed to the amended bill
and that the Japanese Foreign Office
at Tokio will promptly echo that op
position. The whole attitude of our
Government is one of preparation to
meet the objections which are con
fidently expected from that quarter.
Upon the central Issue of war or
peace there 19 a strong, confident note
in the sentiment of capitalists and
prominent citizens in Washington to.
day*. The whole hope of a peaceful
adjustment of this international con
tention rests in the belief that the
finances of Japan will not permit her
to go to war.
Everybody here believes that if Ja
pan has the money to fight she will,
but every information that touches
international money centers seems to
agree that, because Japan’s war chest
is empty, her battle flags will be
furled.
U. S.-Japan War Talk
Alarming to Europe.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 3.—The question of
war between the United States and
Japan is paramount in the minds of
Europeans. That neither country is
seeking war is the opinion of Major
General Edward P. Meaney, former
Judge advocate general of New Jer
sey', who has just returned to Lon
don after a three months tour of
European countries. General Meaney
said:
“There Is an unseemly haste on the
part of the English newspapers to
condemn the political situation in
the United States. This is because
they have no comprehension of the
country in general nor of its politics.
It is also due to the English prej
udice toward the United States.
“Japan is not seeking warfare with
any country, chiefly because she is
in no condition financially to do so.
The national debt there is enormous.
“Unless something bordering on a
miracle happens, there is likely to
be a great alteration in the map of
Europe within the next six months.”

Writer in Legal Magazine Attacks
Prosecution of Millionaire as
Outrage on New York.
NEW YORK, May 3.—Under the
caption, “Justice Demanded for Har
ry K. Thaw," the current Issue of The
Southern Bench and Bar Review de
nounces the legal methods that have
been used to keep Harry K. Thaw at
Matteawan. The tactics have been
such, the writer declares, that they
"seriously reflect upon the bar of .
New York.” ’ '
"A Jury trial has been denied to I
Thaw,” the writer adds.
“A committee of the bar associa
tion at the Instigation of a few gen
tlemen of the Jerome type have at
tempted an amendment of the law
so as to prevent successive writs of
habeas corpus in Thaw's behalf.
“Harry K. Thaw Is entitled to a
Jury trial as to his sanity to-day. _
The fact that he is wealthy should “
not weigh against him. Neither
should the fact that certain people of
wealth have been anxious to hush up
their connections with the late Mr.
White.
“The action of the State and for
mer Prosecuting Attorney Jerome in
fighting this man's release Is unfair
and evidence of undue Interest.”
