THE MAN AND THE MESSAGE

A thoughtful and scholarly editor
ial in the Lyndonvine Journal says
that the minister of today must be
man who is pure in deed and speech,
honest and wholesome in mind, digpi-
fed because he has respect for himself,
full of faith and with burning mes
sage which he must tell every man,
not in mystic phraseology in abnormal
tones, but as matter of veritable
fact which is to be of the utmost prac-
tical value in this life as well as in
the life to come. The Tribune
takes a step further and asserts the
same standard for every teacher. every
leader. every writer, every editor.
No man will succeed today who hash I
q full and abundant belief in the mas
terry of his profession and who has a
message for mankind that comes, not
from books or hideous creeds, but from
the warm, throbbing heart OF a mar
who desires the best of all things fol
his fellowman. Ludlow Tribune.

Conference Results In Clearing Up
misunderstanding Between Rus
sia and United States
IT RELATED TO MANCHURIA.
Ambassador Assured American Inter.
est There is Absolutely
Commercial.

Washington, Jan. lj.-What might
have developed into an unfortunate
misunderstanding between the gov
ernments Of the United States and Rus
sla regarding the interests Of the Unit.
ed States In Manchurla was adjusted
at a conference at the state department
between MrHay, the secretary OF state
and Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador, today. As result the Russian
government will be advised by the am
bassador that he had the best assur-
ances that the interest Of this country
In Manchuria Is absolutely and exclu-
siyely commercial, and that the con-
suls sent TO Mukdcn and Antung will
contine their activities TO the faithful
care OF American trade interests In that
province.
Count Cassini called at the state de-
partment today TO inquire into certain
statements which several European
diplomats here had brought to his at
tention and interpreted to indicate
change of policy on the part Of this
government In the direction Of political
Intervention in Manchuria. The am
bassador himself was unwilling TO be-
lieve that any such change was even
contemplated In view OF his under.
standing throughout the negotiations
here that the United States interests
In Manchuria were those Of trade not
territory
This conviction was confirmed by his
visit to the state department. The con-
ference between the secretary and the
ambassador was characterized by frank
cordially on both sides. The ambassador
was assured that this government does
not contemplate the substitution Of a
political for commercial policy IN the
far east, This position of the United
States, 1t was stated later, enabled the
Russian government to execute with
minute fidelity the assurances given
Secy. Hay that In any eventualIty
which unrest In Manchurla or war
with Japan may precipitate the inter-
ests OF this country will receive the
fullest protection at the hands Of the
Russian authorities Not even change
OF administrative control It * said,
should the progress of events necessi-
tate such a step, would interfere with
the treaty provisions this government
has with China regarding our trade in
Manchuria.
Diplomats here attach significance to
the statement which the president is
said to have made to Russia ambassa.
dor at the diplomatic dinner last night.
that he earnestly hoped that the far
eastern situation might be saved by
diplomacy.

ton, until now Great Britain is almost

would yield II only firm attitude We're
shown, has impressed and is Impress
Ing the Russian statesmen. The readi-
ness with which the United States as

treaties with China is another fact con-
trjbutory TO the feeling In st, Peters
burg that this is not the moment to

now rests with the cars advisers, and
symptoms are visible here that the de-
cision will be peace by largely admit
ting Japan's demands The views Of the
British editors, partially derived from
the foreign office In London, are looked
upon here not only as significant, but
as also being part Of great diplomatic
game against Russia, and in that sense
are somewhat discounted The skill
