Durham W. Stevens.

The type has been common enough,
perhaps, in the cast of Englishmen in the
native States Of India, but DURHAM
WHITESTEvENS was one of a few Ameri-
cans Of intellect and energy whose careers
have been devoted almost wholly 10 the
service of sovereigns or nations not their
own. He went directlNfrom college to
a desk in the United States Legation at
Toxic, and his ten years there were but a
preparation for the quarter Of a century
he has spent a. political and diplomatic
adviser and agent Of ~Japan-at Toxic,
at Seoul and even in the city Of his birth,
Washington. He has given to the Gov
eminent that employed him great abili-
ties and efficient loyalty, and now he has
given Japan his life.
OF the usefulness Of Mr., STEVENS to the
foremost of Asiatic Powers there is no
more question among those Of his fell
low citizens who have known we'll his
character and his achievements than
there is, apparently, at Toxic. Con-
corning the secondary effect Of his SER
vices to Japan, that is, upon our own
interests and policies in the Far East,
particularly in Corea and Manchuria,
there must be and are two ways Of
thinking here in America.

ton Curious, isn'tit, that the Army List
Jof March 20, 1908, contains the entry Of
Colonel STEWART, stationed at Fort Grant,
while the Army Register Of last year
does not mention Fort Grant at all?
What, then, Of Colonel WILLIAM F.
STEWART Of the Coast Artillery? Is he
really stationed at a fort which no longer
exists and where in any case he would
have nothing to do? There are strange
stories ahoat stories which remind one
Of the Iron Mask and the Prisoner Of
Chillon. One hears that he is living
there alone with one man TO cook and
care for him. Remote, %unfriendcd,
segregated, he dwells afar on and soil
tary, He has no society, no recreation,
no background. He is immured, as in a
medieval Oublictis. But why?
This, however, Is what we do not know.
The hermit or il he an exile?-o Fort
Grant appears 10 be there by himself,
condemned TO an unbroken quiet, twelve
miles from the Hooker ranch, twenty
eight miles from any railroad, attended
only by a cook and caretaker and sur
rounded by silence and desolatiOn.
OF course there is an explanation of
this, but what is it?

The Hermit Of Fort Grant.

The Army List" issued on March 20
contains at least one surprising entry,
that Of Colonel WILLIAM +. STEWART,
Coast Artillery, Fort Grant, Arizona, >
For one thingit is surprising, because Col.
STEWART belongs to the Coast Artillery
and apparently has no sort Of business at
an Arizona fort, but it is especially sur
prlsing because for several years past
there seems IN have been no such fort as
Grant in that State at least,
The Army Register" Of 1907 does not
mention il. The very name has been
erased. Nevertheless and n~otwithstand-
ing, the Army List Of March 20, 1905,
contains the entry WILLIAM +, STEWART,
Coast Artillery, Fort Grant, Arizona"
Il may not he generally known either
that Fort Grant, once busy and busting
army post, the sceno OF at least two of
General CHARLEY KINGS novels, is or

detached part Of Arizona not far from
tho Mexican lime, twcnty-cight miles
from the nearest railway and twelve
miles from any ranch. Apparently the
station has been abandoned, dismantled

period Of time would be necessary for the

plain that every school cannot be made a

gard to these schools seems plain, They
should be shut up, and the pupils now in

classes in other buildings wherever this
can be done, In other cases the children
must be deprived of schooling during the

ship, but not such a hardship a would
be the killing of these children in burning

GermanH,s Foreign Policy.

. The speech which Prince Won BUELow,
Imperial Chancellor, made on Tuesday in
the Reiohstag had been awaited with
much interest, for since his previous
utterance several questions Of inter-
national importance had aroused public
attention and it was desirable that Ger
many's views and intentions concerning
them should be declared officially.
What, for example, would the Emper-
or's authentic spokesman say about the
letter to Lord TwEEDMoUTH, which for
atime called forth a good deal Of criticism
in England? Prince Won BUELOw eX-
planned that the communication was of a
purely private nature and that there was
absolutely no foundation for the assertion
that it was an attempt TO influence the
naval policy Of Great Britain. The
German sovereign, he said, was the last
man to assume that the patriotism Of a
British Minister would allow him to take
a foreigners advice regarding the British
navy. Neither would Germany, on her
DdItt duuti NlC NllulOSllpAy Itliilit lui-
eign interference with her exercise of
the right Of self-protection by building
such fleet as seemed TO her indispensable
for the defence Of her coasts and COM
merce, The exclusively defensive motive
Of Germany's naval programme could not
be affirmed, he said, too often, or too
sharply emphasized. 1t is just because
Germans are earnestly DESTROYS Of living
at peace with Great Britain and all the
world that they deplore the disposition
of some British newspapers to evoke a
phantasmal German danger, phantas-
NAL because Great Britain possesses a
feet several times stronger than theirs.
This last avermcnt Of tho ChanccllOr's is
undoubtedly true to-day, but the question
Of interest TO Englishmen, in view Of the
meagre naval programme for which
Lord TwEEDMOuTH is responsible, is:
What will be the relative strength of the
two countries with respect to Dread
noughts, or battleships Of the frstclass, in
1911 and in 1917?
There are some other matters Of i'm
portance concerning which an official
declaration Of Germany's position was
needed. What docs the Berlin Govern.
