dent received from the state department the
two proclamations, deficient only to the ex-

priority at once came up and it was found
to be difficult TO decide. After Soma debate
the two documents, unlocked at, were laid
face downward on the desk on sheet OF
paper and then they were shuffied together.
When this stage of the game bad been
reached the proclamations were turned
faces upward, but protected by the sheet OF
paper upon which they had been laid.

The sheet was slipped aside until the blank
spaces for the presidential signature were
exposed; the autograph was appended to
each; the ink allowed to dry; the proclama-
tons turned over once more and again Wig

one of them was ahead of the other just the

his name. history will never be able to re-
cord the name of the leader. 1t is a profound
mystery, and it will always be so.
