The official summer begins at
the state department when Second
Assistant Secretary Adou gets home
from his bicycle trip In France. For
years his going heralded the arriv Il
of spring and his coming meant that
new odrer was to prevail in the
department. Secretary Knox is
legal and exact and when he speaks
OF foreign relations his statements
have neither frills nor atmosphere.
His interviews are unembelished and
unadorned and have no more liter
airy feeling than an algebraic prob
lem in quadratic equations.
With Adee it is different The
second assistant loves a joke bet
ter than a diplomatic coup de grace.
He has been in the service several
decades and his humor,-as well as
some of his jokes, have ripenad
during that time. When Acting
Secretary Adee discusses a Central
American embrogHo it becomes a
thing of delight. 1t glows with
color. 1t is no longer mere
statement of casualtes,-Eo many
killed and so many wounded and so
much damage done,--but rounded
story, pathetic and humorous, which
suggests another story which in turn
suggests another until one goes
away with a charming unwritten
brochure in his mind on War and
How She is Fought in Central
America.
From the perfunctory cable dis
patches he draws a picture of the
American minister in Persia, his sor-
rows, which are many, and joys,
which are few. One forgets the
value of fact in the delights of fancy
and the amusing game of diplomacy
as reflected through his accounts,
become less a struggle for the pres
tige Of nations than game of GRO ,s
purposes among men of different
countries and different instincts,
with very human failings and viz
tues. all of which have their bearing
on the fearfully abtruse and lofty
subject of foreign relations,
Assistant Secretary Huntington
Wilson will preside for time, at
least, this summer. He, too, has
his atmosphere" which he drap %
about himself with the studied care
of Buddhistic mahatma. His office
is sealed and darkened to keep ont
the sunshine and heat. In one
corner before an electric fan Is a
chunk of ice which cools the draught
This is the only positive unitarian
thing in the room. The rest Is
negative. One whispers instinc-
lively in this hushed chamber for
fear he will dispel the air OF moth
ingness which hovers there undis-
turbed. 1t seems almost sacrilege
that the ice is not frozen in SUBJ
dued shade Of gray that it may blend
better with he environment.
Assistant Secretary Wilson's re-
Election Of Sactivity in foreign af-
fairs takes on the same tone. He
discourses. as rule, with a Rus
sian cigarette in his hand, small
and dainty and giving the faintest
odor. as he accentuates, the term
seems hard in this connection, one
point or another while talking IN
the most subdued voice. One gets
