sion of popular good VIII.
Resolved, further, that we regard with
high favor the gift to her, whom this
Nation should delight to honor as the
cherished wife Of him whose valor and
feats at arm have accomplished SO much

mended as a testimonial Of his devotion and
love for the wife whose loyal affection and
answering sympathy will console and

Prof. StiIes,s Recall.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The officials of
the State Department are reticent as to
the reasons for the recall of Prof. Stiles,
the scientific attache of the United States
embassy at Berlin, which is reported from
that capital in the press dispatches. 1t has
been known for some time that Professor
Stiles was e~ncountering friction in his office,
though the officials were not quite GEAR
as to where the fault rested. The expert
has not failed TO c~riticise German methods
with a freedom that must have been ir-
rttating to the German government at
times. There is nj question as to the right
of Germany to cause the recall of any per-
son attached to the United States embassy
at Berlin on representations that he is per-
soma non grata, but it is not believed they
have proceeded to this length In the case
of Prof. Stiles, though by limiting his use
fectively towards securing his retirement.
