Hon. Andrew D. White, U. S. Am
bassador to Germany, is in Washington
but his presence has produced no news
Mr.. White is one Of the most courteous
men in the world to meet, and when 1t
comes to public affairs. one of the most
reticent. He is thoroughly imbued
with the diplomatic idea, that the press
should be given only results in things
pertaining to International affairs.
Chinese stories being in order, resi-
dent of San Francisco told this one to a
group of Washington friends: "The
Chinese have a queer way of avenglng
themselves on their enemies. II Ce-
lestial is real anxious to make his enc
mys life burden, he commits suicide
in front of the latter's door. That is
considered, by the Chinese, to be the
most terrible thing that could happen
to them. The man in front of whose
home the suicide is committed is
Stunned by his fellows, is ostracized by
his club and is marked with the finger
of sccrn and suspicion. The soul OF
the suicide is supposed to go straight
to heaven, while the soul of the other
fellow is doomed to everlasting perdi-
tion."

1t may not be very manly, but it Is very
satisfying occasionally to be able to say; II
told you so.' In recent years we have had
frequent occasion to decline to consider the
propositions made by divers agents of Build
ing and Loan Associations. 1t usually took
the form of all offer of the secretaryship of
the local branch, which carried with it the
perqusite of a commission, more or less lib.
eral as we were more or less obdurate we
not only declined them all but advised our
people to invest their money elsewise: our
