ENGLAND NOTES CHANGE
IN CONSULAR SERVICE
London Newspaper Says American
Diplomats by a Display of
Wealth Gain Unique
Prestige
BY Associate Press.


LONDON. April 1.-The Daily Tele-
graph, in long editorial on the Hill
Incident, emphasizes the remarkable
change which is being gradually effect
cd in the character of the American
diplomatic service, and especially in re-
lation of that service to Germany,
which, 1t says, has been revolutionized
in the past decade. AS result of this,
says the Telegraph, the American enl-
bassy in Berlin has acquired a unique
prestige, which is none the less eifec-
tive for diplomatic purposes because OF
depending partly on methods not OF
rolitical kind From this viewpoint the
Telegraph things the emperor's desire
for a wealthy ambassador is at least
intelligible.
With reference to DIR. Hills attain
ments the paper says: Merit enjoy
ing primacy so laudable in the abstract
may sometime find itself in a position
o. considerable discomfort. Social
power and ability to entertain on
large scale mean a very valuable ad-
.dition to the diplomatic efficiency OF
any embassy, because most mems im-
agination is dominated by symbolism.
For instance, the historic mansion
which Whitelaw Reid is able to make
the center OF splendid hospitality and
rrincely dignity, becomes as 1t were, Il
standard monument conveying un-
awares to those who pass 1t new
sense OF the weighty fact that the great
rev republic is no longer new couh-
try but one established among tEs
powers of the world.
"Any state in the future will find 1t
we'll worth while to provide it's repre-
sentatives abroad with ample means
when it's ambassadors do not possess
wealth of their own"

FOURTH RACE
HAS CLASS
Seven Numbers on Card Today, but
Only One of Them Is
for Real Good
Horses
ny j. q. GRIFFIN

Seven races are slated for discussion
again today, and 1t looks a little easier
than 1t did yesterday afternoon. The
fields are smaller and the class is u
little better, so we won't have to take
chance with the jams and bumps
which occur when the nuts are on
parade.
The first race finds Varieties back
under silks, and If the old gelding is
as good as he was on his last start he
will make them all look foolish.
whether In a drive or because his early
speed is too much. John Lyle is the
Offut candidate, and will have to take
care of Liberto, which will be- at a
price to get in the money. San Mich
olas should be coming to life soon.
Hazlet is down from Oakland to
make a start, and may be able to take
the measure of Knight of the East.
Inclement and Frieze will enter the ar
gument also, and the babies will put
up pretty fight.
Summer Cloud Is getting way back
and should beat the field in the third
event. Grandita and Bauble are sup
posed to be favored by the distance
and conditions and should be able to
keep Huapala and Lady Laughter from
cutting in on the cush.
Some real class for a selling race is
unbelted for the fourth number, and
it will be the best race sprung so far
this week Lord of the Forest, Don
Domo. Critic, Botanist and Ampedo
will all sport silk, and the finish will
be worth watching, especially as Bot
anist is good right now and is out for
the change.
Rubinon might have been dropped in
a softer spot, but ait that the New
mans are expecting to gather from
Gateway and Associate. 1t doesn't
look as though either Gentle Harry or
Sam Bernard could spoil the dope for
them.
The sixth is also a hard proposition.
but If the value of the horses counts
for anything, Montclair has it on the
others. He is entered in races at way
below his true worth, and his last two
efforts we're so impressive that he will
doubtless be well backed as fayorite.
Kerry, Thomas Flyer and Decorator
will contend with Montclair for the
long end of the purse.
Anything has chance in the clos
ing number. but it is supposed to be
made to order for old Taby Tosa. This
is hard to believe, for Buena, Veritas
Vincet and Bannocence have all shown
more and may upset the calculations
of those interested in the gray has
