Nagel's Department Caused Commotion

that his department had decide to let
the ships plying between the United
States and Central and South Ameri-
car ports clear for their destinations.
Tones Of international law were
brought forth and diplomatic etiquette
produced and quoted to show that it
invited grave International complica-
lions If American ships should sail
from our ports during internecine con-
ficts and insurgent movements in the
Central American states. .
then McHarg brought out the stat
utes Of the United States and showed
that the collectors of customs would
be subject to damages If they held
these ships when there vas no state
of war existing in any of the coun-
tries, but simply little Instructions.
He told the officials of the state de-
partment that he didn't want to en-
barrass thier diplomacy, but the de-
partment of commerce and labor had
decided to let the ships have their
clearance papers. That was what hap
pened.
Up to the present time no one has
heard of the wreck or ruin of the dip
lomacy that exists between the gov
eminent Of the United States and
those of the Central American States.

Naturally uniformity is desired in this

There are some titled officials in the
army and navy who are granted a
higher rank socially by courtesy than
they are actually entitled to. For in.

navy are, by courtesy, in social life
called commanders, while those below
that rank lose thier official title and
are addressed as plain Mister"
The same rulo applies to the staff

reason for this is obvious. It is not
