All of these young diplomats speak

familiar with the domestic politics OF

versed in questions of diplomacy now
pending between the United States

country and Japan in drafting a new
treaty probably will be referred to the
Far Eastern Bureau
Another important duty which will
devolve upon the newly-organized

in the existing treaty between the
United States and China.

A NEW departure in postal cards
"A has been decided upon by the
post office department Beginning
August 1 the consumer will get more
for his penny than heretofore. The
front side, for years reserved by an
memorable rule for the address, will
be invaded by advertisements, pic
lures and messages.
Postmaster General Meyer has pro-
mulgated an order to this effect A
vertical line will be placed about one
third of the distance from the left
end of the card. The space to the
right of this line will be reserved for
the address, and the remaining por-
ton of the front side may be devoted
to details of how all the children are,
or any other of the things that here
tofore have been confined to the back
side.

once More Perpetual Motion"

David Uniapon, a full-blooded native
of the norther territory, Australia, who
combines a genius for mathematics
with passion for music, claims to
have invented a machine which will
secure perpetual motion. He is now
in Adelaide, the capital of South Aus
tralia, seeking the means of testing
the feasibility of his mechanism. He
explains that the forces which he pro-
poses to use are gravitation and mo-
mentum and he had to come to AIDE
laide to seek the assistance of the alb
orinines department in procuring four
beveled wheels. spindle, a tube and
so on. He is confident that when he
gets these requisites he can put to-
gether a machine which will bring
perpetual motion appreciably nearer.

NEW BUREAU TO HANDLE
MATTER OF FAR EAST

WITT the view of placing all diplo-
w matte and consular matters relat-
ing to Japan and China in the hands
Of officials familiar with conditions
in the orient, the state department
has perfected the organization of the
Far Eastern Bureau which will
have charge of all correspondence and
preliminary treaty negotiations with
the oriental governments
This new departure is more or less
in the nature of an experiment, which,
if it proves satisfactory, may lead to
the organization of similar bureaus to
conduct diplomatic and consular cor
reSpopdence and negotiations with
the Central and South American re-
pubIics, European and Asiatic coun-
tries.
Huntington Wilson, third assistant
secretary of state, who, for a number
of years served as secretary to the
American legation and embassy at
Toxic, is in charge of the new bu-
reau- His two assistants are Percival
Heintzleman of Pennsylvania, for

81 can't imagine, 1 really can't be-
lieve," began the chaplain, that Miss
Devereux will want to be brought
into this estate matter in any way. In
fact, I have heard Sister Theresa say
as much. 1 suppose there's no way of
preventing a man from leaving his
property to a young woman who has
no claim on him,-who doesn't want
anything from him.
bah, these women, People don't
throw legacies to the birds these days.
OF course she'll take it," observed
Larry.
Then his eyes widened and met mine
in gaze that reflected the mystifica-
ton and wonder that struck both of
US. Stoddard turned suddenly from
the fire, into which he had been gaz-
ing, exclaiming:
Whats that? There's some one up

Larry was already running toward

where's Bates?" demanded the
chaplain.
III thank you for the answer" 1
replied.
Larry stood at the top of the stair
case, holding candle at arms length
in front of him, staring about.
We could hear quite distinctly some
one walking down a stairway; the
sounds were unmistakable, just as i
had heard them on two previous occa-
sions. without ever being able to trace
their source.
The noise ceased suddenly, leaving
us with no hint of its whereabouts.

YOUNG BARONESS RosEN
MOST CAREFULLY REARED

: ASHINGTON.-T Russian en-
w bassy closed the season here
when Ambassador and Baroness
Rosen. with their household staff, left
for Magnolia, Mass, the other day
where they will pass the summer. The
departure of Baron and Baroness
Rosen has a particular significance
at this time, as they do not expect to
return to Washington for perhaps a
year, and will sail for Europe on a
prolonged leave of absence in Oc-
tober.
They purpose passing the winter in
St Petersburg that their only daugh-
ter, Baroness Elizabeth Rosen, may
make her debut in that capital. This
young woman, who is just II years of
age, will be presented at court early
in the winter under particularly bril-
liant auspices.
The young baroness is a petite
blonde. She is perhaps the most care
fully reared girl of her age in Amer
lea, as her education has been con-
Quoted along exactly the same lines
as though she had never left her ma
tive land. Five hours each day have

wished to be alone, to yield to the
sweet mood that the thought of her
brought me. The doubt that crept
through my mind as to any possibility
of connivance between her and Picker
ing was as vague and fleeing as the
shadow of a swallows wing on a
sunny meadow.
you don't intend fighting the fact
of your absence, do your demanded
Larry, after a long silence.
"Of course mott" 1 replied fiercely.
Pickering was right on my heels, and
my absence was known to his men
here. And it would not be square to
my grandfather,-who never harmed a
flea, may his blessed soul rest in
.peace!-to lie about it. They: might
nail me for perjury besides"
Then the quicker we get ready for
a siege the better. As I understand
your. attitude, you don't intend to
move out until you've found where the
sil1er's hidden. Being gallant gen
tleman and of forgiving nature, you
want to be sure that the lady who is
now entitled to it gets all there is
coming to her, and as you don't trust
the executor any further than a true
Irishman trusts a British prime minis
ter's promise, you're going to stand by
to watch the bullion counted. Is that
a correct analysis of your intentions?"
That's as near one of my ideas as

Spoken like a man of spirit. And
now we'd better stock up at once, in
case we should be shut off from our
source of supplies. This is a lonely
place here; even the school is a re-
mote neighbor. Better let Bates raid
the village shops tomorrow. I've
tried being hungry, and don't care to
repeat the experience"
