TRANSMITTING A THOUGHT.

Interviewers who talk with Wis
count Siuzo Aoki, the japanese am
bassador to this country, find that
the viscount, after a question has
been asked him, takes about two
minutes for a reply. Meantime he
gazes steadily into the eyes of the
interviewer and often succeeds in
embarrassing the seeker after opin-
ion.
The japanese ambassador doeF
not confuse his questioner inten-
tiOnally, for he is the most polite OF
men.
He lived in Germany long time
and speaks German iluentlv. He
also speaks English. but not fluent
ly. This is the way his mind works
When a question is asked him in
English he translates it into Ger
man. Then he translates the Ger
man into japanese and formuIates
his answer. After that has been
pondered he translates the answer
to German and thence to English.
He cannot translate directly from
English to japanese or from Japa-
nese to English.
He understands none but the
most correct or ''bsok" English. If
an interviewer uses an idiom or a
bit of slang the ambassador wait:
patiently until the sentence has
been corrected and put into the un-
deiiled tongue. Then he Iaborious-
ly sets to work at it and after his
various translations back and forth
announces his reply. - Saturday

In the native hospital at Quetta,
Baluchistan, there is man who is
living example of the brutality of
the Afghan system of justice. Some
time ago one Of the ameer's soldiers
deserted and could not be found in
spite of the most diligent search.
When the circumstances were re-
ported to the ameer he gave orders
that the desertcr's brother should
be punished by having his nose cut
off. This was Immediately done.
The victim made his way to Quetta
for medical attention, and on learn
ing what had happened the hospital
authorities sent strongly worded
protest to the ameer. The reply
promptly came back that an unfor-
tunate mistake had been made and
that the brother had been confused
with the deserter.

action in his appointment of the
House committee which is GER
tain to commend itself to all bus
mess men. He has again reor-
ganized the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency, so that the
power of Chairman Fowler, who
is devoted to certain financial va
garies, is broken and the COM
mittee will hereafter be domina-
ted by men of more conservative
views. Entirely apart from the
correctness, or the reverse, of
Mr.. Fowler's views, his course
has for a number of years oper-
ated to prevent any financial leg
islation, although the need for it
has been long recognized by the
Republicans in Congress. The
Senate is strongly opposed to a
system of credit currency, which
is the sum and substance of the
Fowler bill, but whenever any
attempt to pass legislation has
been made, Mr.. Fowler has re-
fused to consider anything but
his own bill. Speaker Cannon
holds the same opinions regard
ing the character of the legisla-
ton which should be enacted as
do a majority of the Senate and
his action last week paves the
way for adequate legislation by
the two houses of Congress, for
a failure of which the Republi-
can party would surely have been
severely blamed.
Speaker Cannon's course in re-
organizing the committee on Ag-
riculture along lines calculated
seriously to curtaiI the appropri-
ations for the Department of Ag-
riculture will not be as generally
approved. Mr.. Cannon has trans
ferred Mr.. Henry of Connecticut
to another committee, because he
was too friendly to the Depart
ment and has made Mr.. Scott of
Kan sas, who is noted for his con-
servatism, the chairman. Incl
dentally, Mr.. Cannon has told his
new committee that he expects
no provision for the Appalachian
Forest Reserve, for the Agricul-
tural educational scheme urged
by the Assistant Secretary of Ag-
riculture, and for the extension
of the Bureau of Soils. Secre-
tary Wilson is almost on the
verge of tears over Speaker Can
mons action.
The President is doing every
thing possible for the army and
navy increase-of-pay-bill. He
sees that it is quite impossible to
keep the army, especially, re-
cruited up to even it's peace
strength as long as privates are
paid only $13 a month and cor
porals, sergeants and others pro-
portionately. Of course, it is not
urged that the soldiers should
receive as much pay as civilians
in the same walks of life, but the
discrepancy between what they
now receive and the prevailing
wages in other occupations is too
great to permit of anything like
satisfactory recruiting.
