WANT TO BE CONSULS
FIFTY YOUNG MEN TAKING
EXAMINATION.

Fifty young men, chiefly southerners,
without single pretension to having been
lifelong republicans, even for five minutes,
took oral examinations in the rooms of the
third assistant secretary of state at the
State Department today to demonstrate
their eligibility for consular positions.
This is the second examination Of the
sort the previous one having been held
about six months ago, all of the successful
candidates having since been appointed to
consulships, and it is in line with the pur-
pose of the administration to reform the
consular service by guaranteeing perma-
nent positions and promotion for capable
men.
All the candidates are designated by their
senators, and, as Secretary Root wishes to
give the southern states their quota OF con-
suls, the southern senators were given an
opportunity to send men for examination
irrespective of politics 1t was said at the
State Department today that in some cases
these senators hesitated 80 accept the offer,
fearing the Greeks bearing gifts.
Wishes It Was Over.
Oral examinations were held today. and
written tests will be given either tomorrow
or Thursday One candidate said this morn
ing, I'm sorry they postponed that written
examination. 1 could pass it today, but
I'm afraid I'll have forgotten the whole
business by tomorrow"
The candidates examined in one mod
ern language-French, German or Spanish;
natural, industrial and commercial re-
sources of the United States; political
economy; international, maritime and COM
mercial law; American history, government
and institutions; political and commercial
geography; arithmetic, and the history of
Europe, South America and the far east
since 1850
F. NJ. keegan, chief examiner Of the
civil service commission, is in charge OF
the examinations, and the percentage re-
quired to pass is 50, ten points higher than
that usually exacted in competitive exam
nations for positions under the govern
ment
Civil Service Commissioner Greene says
that this higher requirement and the ar
rangement of the examinations generally
will help greatly in the improvement of the
consular service.
It's different from the old days." said
an official of the State Department today.

the consular bureau, tanning himself. First
one man would come up to him and say,

Pretense is one of the fashions Of
