At the command Of his country he
stood before kings; he has circled the
globe and visited, officially, every civil
lied nation beneath the sun and wit

Yet neither the splendors of royalty
nor the magnihcence Of imperial power
could tempt his fealty to free institu-
lions or lure him from the path OF De-
mocracy. with mistaken faith In hui
man nature, he Cherishes the ideals OF
his youth and the traditions OF the

service brought him in contact with
the west for more than a quarter OF a
century. No man knows more Of the

aspirations; and no man knows the
whole country any better than he. A
