TOE AGITATOR: WELLSBORO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH TRAVEUNO FAB SOUTH. Historic Old Santa Fe, Place Eich With Hittory of the Wild Far Past. By M. J. Brown.

Santa Fe, N. Feb. it becomes more popular to know something about our own country, and less about Africa and Italy, then tory there In connected with It Is to the effect that a great Indian chief built it In about 1500. Later Coronado made it his headquarters and following were many notable men. Three or four hundred years ago the house had two stories, so a legend has It.

I don't know where tp start, what to take up first, or where to quit. Just out there, crumbling to ruins, Is a fortress--where the early Span- lards mud fortifications to protect themselves from the three hundred" years ago. The elements are wearing away these historic walls, and the American people are not lifting a protesting hand. Some hack driver will take ou up on the hill, sing you a little fifty cent song of history, and hurry jou back If those crumbling walls could talk, couldn't they tell? can't, and there are few to talk for them. There they waste away--out under the brightest sunshine of the southwest--a sunshine and a climate that deals far more gently with them than does; man.

over across is the place where General Lew Wallace wrote Ben the concluding chapters. I can understand the inspiration from this environment and. surroundings. Down in the Plaza of Sante Fe is where General Kearney defeated the Pueblo Indians, and raised the stars and stripes. On the other side is the Old palace, the oldest government building in our arms.

Later the Indians carried the dlrt of the upper story of this bouse in sacks and somewhere back In the mountains made of It a sepuN cher lor the chief's daughter. It Is out here, somewhere. How, but hone have ever found it--neither has anyone ever found the graves of Franciscan Fathers, nor does anyone know when, where or how thej'met death. There lg a monument in the center of the plaza at Santa Fe that has attracted almost national attention and a lot of criticism, because the Inscription says It is erectpd to the memory of the soldiers of 1SG2, who "fought the rebels." It was erected by the territory legislature, and it Is the only monument In the country whose lettering refers to the confederates as "rebels." Southerners don't think any too much of this stone shaft. It bothers me to tell where a Mexican, Indian or Spanish commences in this territory or where a while man leaves off.

Only the black, glossy hair Will give one a clew. You will see a light complexioned, fashionably dressed youngster pushing out 1910 drinks over a Mission bar, or assigning you a room on a Plaza hotel, where General Lew Wallace used to spend his money in the early days. He looks like a New York tourist and I wonder if he has. a job in the country, which was built of 'dobe I offlce during season where he can see the sights 1 am seeing without having to grow poor every time he turns around. Then 1 bear the soft Spanish roll of his tongue, and 1 look at him with a new interest.

I wonder if he is a descendant of Chief Tiquex, one of Coronado's hand-me- downs, whether he has not Latjuna or Astufa Indiana lore-back in his blood---OT where or when he ever came from. He knows less about his ancestors than I do, and cares a beap less But the Spanish girls, one can tell them at sight. They seem to be more bricks, in 1398. On the south side of the plaza is tbe oldest Masonic lodge of the United States, on whose rooster is the name of Kit Carson, and whose archives are filled with curious and historical memorials of the early days of the square and compass. Over there is a monument erected to General Kearney's memory and patriotic deeds, whose stone letters proclaim: "We come as friends to make you part of the Republic.

In our government all men are equal, and every TALK OF WAR WITH JAPAN. The Peace of the World Bettt With the United "The peace of the world for the next live or ten years lies entirely with the American State Department. It pivots upon the Far Bant, and Japan has played her hand. It is for the United States to reach the Una! decision." This was the statement made by an Ambassador in Washington when asked to comment upon the plans of Japan providing for certain naval movements against the United Slates in the event -of war. These plans were found by a secret agent stationed at Toklo and were transmitted as a copy to the Washington Ambassador of the country he represents.

The situation is becoming officially intente. Tbe reticence of State Department Officials seems to lack the stereotyped indifference of "No comment to make." They decline to discuss the situation at all.

Diplomats throughout the capital consider Jacob H. Schiff's speech of a few days ago as tantamount to an open disavowal that the empire can secure funds in the United States In the future. The plans of Japan are considered as beyond the sphere of failure in the event they are carried out. Japan has counted, upon her own strength by her-rejection of the Knox proposal to equalize the commercial advantages of Manchuria It was learned in financial circles, which are'generally credited with Inspiration from American officials, that the prevailing opinion that Japan cannot afford a war is erroneous. On the contrary, she can, and at a slight cost, because of the comparatively limited field of action.

About 70 per cent, of the Japanese bpnds are held in Amreica, present estimates have it, which means American gold in Japan's pockets Who is going to collect, and how? is the question said to have prompted Mr, Schiff's utterances. Confidential communications to their home governments, sent by the diplomatic representatives of five of the powers, indicate the gravest consideration of the present relations between the United States and Japan. The dominant note is one of apprehension. The best informed officials declare that within the grasp of tbe American State Department rests the peace of the -world at the present time, but that the solution must result from Japanese relations. This is tantamount to a diplomatic struggle of long duration.

Facts collected by a secret agent at Tokio reveal the plans made by Japan some months ago and put away for use when needed. Japan is apprehensive as to the outcome of a -There is a monument at Battvla. eHnkt to have in them oic- rowl "tMapaneK Propaganda in said ho.

Then the Masonic lodge at Santa Fe proposed that the lodge which would raise the greatest amount of mone for a monument should erect it Santa Fe'won out, but back up in tbe ancient old pueblo of Taos, his bones lie buried.

But most ancient of all most historic of all, aud assot iated more nearly with the dajb of this countrj which were wild beyond the telling--there stands out under the Aztec sunshine the old San Miguel church --a wonder to all who see It, and a building whose crumbling mud walls gaze at with speechless awe are try to picture the days of the devote Franciscan Fathers whose bones lie ho floor of these later. It was in this town, Santa Fe, that Warren Wilcox, a printer of Cherr Creek, N. had to make a very hast-v leave something like a year ago, and which incident became of enough importance to be discussed on the floor of the Senate at Washington, in connection with the statehood matter. Wilcox wrote a letter to the Jamestown Journal He wanted to show his knowledge of Spanish so he dragged in borne expressions, that had a different meaning than what he supposed the words spelled In some to this sentiment has been the compilation of offensive and defensive plans in case war should be declared. To give color to this assertion, diplomats refer to the fact that Japanese plans for fighting Russia were completed about elg-hteen months before the rejected ultimatum was sent oat The practice on the field proved their worth.

For this reason, of theoretic accuracy, the secret agent considers the plans against the United States as of great value It'is also shown that Japan has the Insurmountable advantage of planning the entire campaign, and that waT a cop of theTaper came back no this country would here and was reprinted in the New Mexican A friend gave him a time- tip, and he was able to get out on a tram to El Paso Have you had enough to 1287 and 1910 for this week?
