AMERICAN CONSULS
MINISTER'S OF MERCY
Herbert NJ Bowen Tells of the Many Appeals That
Come to Them.

Men who have never had experience
in the foreign service cannot appreciate
what great variety of duties falls to
American consuls," remarked Herbert
NJ Bowen, the United States minister
10 Venezuela. who is in WASHINGTON
representing Venezuela in the settle
ment Of claims held against that coun-
try by other powers. The American
policeman is supposed to hear more
troubles than anybody on earth. but he
does not have half as many woes poured
into his ears as reach most American
consuIs.
The duties Of consuls are especially
varied if they happen to be in cities
which are well out OF the beaten path
Of travel IN such places there are few
other Americans to hear the rnfsfor-
tunes Of their fellow-countrvmen and
ali come TO the consul. The consul in a
remote post. hears the troubles which
are inrrusted to lawyers. doctors. and
ministers in a land where they are
available. People must make their Sc
crets known TO somebody. and when 2
consul Is the only man available he
must listen patiently to the life story of
all American citizens who imagine they
have grievances Of some sort.
American consuIs the world over
spend much of their salaries in assisting
unfortunate citizens of the United
States. The Government makes no an
preparations for the relief Of its citizens
who come to GRIEF abroad, but in spite
Of this fact an American who is really
in need Of help seldom applies in vain
10 a consulate which floats the stars
and Stripes"
Twelve years in the foreign service
have acquainted Mr. Bowen thoroughly
with the work Of the nations represen-
tatives abroad. He served as consul
general at Barcelona. Spain. until the
war between that country and the Unit
ed States. He was then made minister
TO Persia. and left that post 10 become
minister 10 Venezuela
In illustration of the varied expert
ences which fall to the lot of a consul
at remote post. Mr. Bowen told Of
how he cared for young American
woman who was stricken with small
poX in Spain. after she had been de-
serted by a worthless husband This
happened at Barcelona. The young wom-
an came TO the consulate to see Mr.
Bowen, and explained that against her
parents wishes she had married a man
who maltreated her. and had left her
without money. among a foreign people.
Her home in America was closed against
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-04-14

her. She had no friends in Europe. and
was seriously i'll.
Mr. Bowen saw that the woman was
not able 10 be out of bed. and insisted
that she lie down until a doctor could
be summoned. The doctor pronounced
the malady smallpox There was no
place 10 send the woman Mr.. Bowen
ordered that his room in the consulate
be turned over TO her. summoned nurses,
and directed that everything possible be
done to preyenb the young woman $
beauty from being married by the dis
ease. Masks were prepared for her,
and she came through the disease with
out a scar.
While she was i'll, Mr.. Bowen com
muuIcated with her relatives tn America.
and effected a reconciliation. As soon
as the young woman was able to travel
Mr.. Bowen purchased her ticket. and
she returned to the United States.
1T cost me $500 10 care for the wom-
an" Mr. Bowen said. in concluding the
narrative. But I could not have al
lowed her to suffer. and die. perhaps.
among strangers who did not even speak
the same language"
While he was in Teheran Minister
Bowen met few American travellers. As
Persia is rarely visited By tourists he
devoted his efforts to securing proper
treatment for American missionaries.
Through schools and infTmaTies the
missionaries were doing great service.
but they were prosecuted and could not
command the respect of Mohammedans.
Mr.. Bowen made it plain that a country
which would not accord American mis-
sionaries proper consideration was not
worthy of having an American minister,
and did much to facilitate the work of
the men and women sent 10 Persia by the
American missionary boards.
Mr. Bowen speaks in the highest terms
Of the American missionaries IN Persia
They are capable. broad minded peo-
pie" he said The boards have sent the
ablest men they have to that field. and
in that action they have shown their
wisdom. for it would be impossible for
men Of small caliber to carry on the
work in a country where the Christian
IS regarded with so much suspicion
The religion of Persia and all the
customs are just what they were 1900
years ago. It is almost impossible for
new ideas o invade the land Everything
seems 10 an American TO be done back
wards. Persians hang their coats up
wrong side out They tie their horses by
means Of a chain fastened to the hind
foot"
