AMBASSADORS THESE
DAYS UNNECESSARY.
SO Taft and Knox Are Said
to Think.
Only High Grade Clerks
to Do as They Are
Told to Do.

New York, Oct. 25.--Before Mr..
Knox became secretary Of state. In
fact at a time when he was serving
as Encouragement, he was known to
have strong convictions that on the
whole the American diplomatic SER
vice above the rank of consul is un-
necessary and could be dispensed with
without in any way affecting our dip
Iematic relations.
He Is one of those who believe not
that our ambassadors and ministers
are paid too little, but instead receive
all their services are worth. He has
frequently expressed his opinion, hav-
ng been quoted by some with whom
he talked freely, as saying that in his
opinion the United States could get
along we'll enough without any min-s
listers or ambassadors, and gave as
the chief reason for that view the fact
that the state department is in instant
communication by means of the cable
with every civilized country.
In this view Mr.. Knox was In per-
feet sympathy with Colonel Roosevelt
when he was president. To senator
who represents one of the eastern
states Colonel Roosevelt said at time
when the senator was recommending
the appointment of man of wealth to
post as minister, that the United
States would do well if It abolished
all of these unnecessary offices.
And, in explanation of that view, the
president said that to serve as ambas-
sador or minister from the United
States to any other country was to do
more than qualify for an American
| Legion of Honor
The title, Colonel Roosevelt said,
1 served the same purpose that the rib
I bon of the Legion of Honor did. Fur
shermore, as those appointments are
almost wholly honorary, Colonel
Roosevelt was OF opinion that Ameri-.
cans who have served for term ought
10 be willing to retire and let some
body else enjoy the dignity

With the return of Mrs. Taft to
