publican OF Marshalltown, and one of
the best known republican editors OF
the state, to be consul general at large
for the European station, is consider
ed in governmental circles as the
most significant appointment that has
ever been made voluntarily in the his
tory of the consular service.
There are only four such offices in
the United States service, and that
Mr.. Mcfarland was chosen is a recog-
milton OF his value to the consular ser
vice. One of these districts comprises
North America, including Mexico and
the Bermudas; another eastern Asia,
including the Straits settlements, Aus
tralia, Oceanica and the islands of the
Pacific: and third South and Central
America, the West Indies and Cura-
Gao. Mr.. Netherlands district will in

thought best. The delegates merely
listened to the reading of the letter
and no action on it was taken.
Senator Albert j. Beveridge and a
