AMERICANS INVESTIGATING
BUSINESS,

LONDON, July 8.-Intent on find
ing out everything practical relating
to commercial and economic problems
that great centers of the Old World
have to show, party of ninety rep
resentative business and professional
men are now making a tour of Europe
in connection with and in a sense I'M
der the auspices of the International
Association of Chambers of Com
merce.
The International Congress of
Chambers of Commerce which held
its first biennial session in Liege IN
1904, will hold its first American
meeting ia Boston in 1912 and it is
partly for the purpose of extending
an invitation to foreign delegates
that the present party has come to
Europe. 1t includes solid men from
every section of the United States,
representatives of business and the
practical professions, who stand high
in their respective communities.
Among them are R. w. Speer, mayor
of Denver; E. ]. Stackpole, editor-ln-
chief of the Harrisburg (Pa.) Tele-
graph; Charles w. ROBBIE, of Boston.
a high official of the American Ex-
press Company; William A. Potter, a
leading wholesale grocer of Boston;
John Martin, a publicist, whose home
is in Stapleton, N. Y; Charles E.

Now Father Farragher has laid before
the council proposal that the island
ers pay taxes for a year and a half,
and that all arrears to date be wiped
out They further agree that they will
pay at the current rate for the rest Of
this year, on condition that steps be
taken at once to separate them, for
taxation purposes, from the mainland.
Ut seems that they are not merely
.avorse to paying taxes on general
principles. but they have a real griev-
ance They have been taxed at the
same rate as the inhabitants of the
mainland and have got nothing for
their money. Roads and sewers and
the other conveniences that are pro-
yided for the mainlanders are un-
known on the islands, and, in fact,
the money that the islanders do pay
simply goes to relieve the burden of
taxation on the mainland. The pro-
posal is that they shall be formed into
a separate taxation district, or per-
haps into a new administrative coun-
ty, and shall have the management
of their own affairs.
There is evidence that popular opin-
ion is becoming stirred up all over Ire
land against the cruel and senseless
practice of cattle driving. This prae-
tice was introduced in the days of the
agrarian war and consisted in driving
cattle off their owners land and leav-
ing them to wander on the roads. 1t
has been continued in the case of I'M
popular grazers, and it is the cost or
the thing that is arousing the public.
Last year the extra taxation for spe-
cial police work in connection with
this offense was about $15O,OOO, while
almost an equal sum was awarded by
the courts as compensation to the
owners of cattle that had been in
jured.

the highways Of the air, and has not
only suggested but carried through
legislation on other points. Even
the Aviation Bureau of the War Office
has hardly dared to issue orders in re-
gard to military aviation without first
consulting the French Aero Club.
The club has suddenly discovered
however, that there is a certain power,
at least, as far as Paris is concerned,
which is superior to it. This is NJ.
Lepine, the Project of Police, who,
just before the closing of the European
circuit race track this week, sent an
order to the club that the aviators en-
gagged in it must on no account fly
over Paris. His order ended with the
words, 81 ask you to penalize any pilot
who infringes this regulation by add
ing two hours to his time"
But this was not all. NJ. Lepine,
furious that Garros came back twice
to the starting line at Vincennes over
the crowd, insisted that he should be
disqualified from taking part in the
classification at the end, and now the
members of the Aero Club are betting
at to what NJ. Lepine will do next
NJ Lepine is perfectly sure of his
authority. He declares that it begins
on the surface of the earth and ex-
tends perpendicularly as far as there
is any need for it to be exercised.

HOME RULE RESULTS


DUBLIN, July S.-Among the many
home rule problems pressing for settle.
ment is the position of the Irish civil
servants under an Irish Parliament
and the government employees are un-
commonly anxious as to how they will
be treated
Under the English system civil
servant has a vested interest in his Job,
and it is the hardest thing in the world
to get rid of him. OF course, he may
lie dismissed for misconduct, but, fail
ing that, once he is on the establish
nlent he can count on his living his
life out in his job until he is too old
to work, then ending his days on a
comfortable pension. This system is
so thoroughly established that when
changing conditions make it necessary
TO abolish Government office the Of
lficeholder is always compensated, usu-
ally by lump sum equal to the capital
value of his salary.
In all the discussion about home rule
for Ireland nothing has been said about
how the excessive civil service estab-
lishment is to be reduced, and the civil
servants are MORALLY afraid that spe-
cial legislation will be passed, dropping
them without compensation. OF course,
such a course would be highly unfair
to them, but on the other hand it
would be unfair to the new Irish ma
tional government to saddle it with
the enormous burden entailed either
by buying out the present office
holders or continuing them in office
until they die. The civil servants
have formed a special association and
intend to offer every resistance in
their power to the passage of any
home rule bill which will endanger
their source of livelihood
The threatened war in the Isles of
Aran last week is likely to be averted,
after all, and this peaceful conclusion
of what threatened to be a sanguinary
dispute is due to the Rev Father Far
ragher, the parish priest of the islands
of Inismaan and Inisheen. The inhab-
itants of these islands, in common
with those of all the other islands,
were five years in arrears with their
local taxes and the Galway County
Council had determined to collect the
arrears. After various unsuccessful
attempts it found a man who agreed
to get the money in on a so per cent
commission basis, provided he were
supplied with all the police and boats
and munitions of war that he needed.

HOT WAVE STRIKES BERLIN.

BERLIN, July 15.-The hottest
weather of the season struck Berlin
this week and gave the transatlantic
visitors, who are here by the hun
dreds, a reminder of home. The tenn
perature did not creep up higher than
"A or Is in the shade, but that is alb
normal for Berlin, and discomfort was
universal.
Hot weather here tends to make the
outdoor life which Berliners lead at
this season more pronounced than
ever, and American visitors fall into
it naturally. They throng the numer-
Gus al fresco cafes and restaurants
day and night, and, seeing how Ger.
mans enjoy breakfasting, lunching and
dining in the open, bemoan the fact
that the habit is not more popular in
the United States.
| EX-Ambassador White and Mrs.
White passed through Berlin this
week en- route to visit their daughter,
the Countess Won Scherr-Thoss, in ST.
lesia, where they will spend the rest
of July. Mr.. White arrived in Ger
many at the same time as reports
from Washington that he is consid-
cred a strong possibility for Ambassa-
dor Hills successorship, but he denied
that his presence on German soil at

will later accompany Mrs. Chiffon to
England.
William James Calhoun, the Ameri-
can minister to China, and Mrs. Cal
houn were visitors in Berlin this week,
having arrived from Pekin via the
trans-Siberian railway. They pro
ceeded without delay to Paris, ana

PLAN RECEPTION FOR TARs,

ROME, July 6.-The authorities OF
the international Exhibition of Turin
have decided to enter a chivalrous
competition with those of the Interna-
tional Exhibitions of Rome, to show
which will give the greatest and most
cordial reception to the officers and
sailors of the American squadron who
are coming to Italian waters next au-
tumn and have been invited to visit
the exhibitions of Rome as we'll as
that of Turin.
The Mayor of Turin, Count Rossi,
and the president of the exhibition,
Senator Villa, will ask Ambassador
Leishman and the staff of the Ameri-
can Embassy here to be present in
Turin at the arrival of the American
guests, in order to make their sojourn
in the capital of the ancient Kingdom
of Sardinia more solemn and agree
able.
Count Delfino Oris, vice president of
the Executive Committee of the exhi-
bition and the real soul and brain of
the whole organization, which owes it's
success chiefly to him, has undertaken
all the necessary arrangements. A
special train with Pullman cars for the
officers win convey the American
party from Genoa to Turin and back.

granted free admission to the exhibit

I III pOaI IOu WHICH he would pIOn'
ably have been relieved had there
been no outside interference--it IS
the traditional policy Of British gov
ernmeuts to stand by their officials
when under fire.
However, now that Sir Eldon Gurst
is gone, a successor had to be found,
and Lord Kitchener has been appoint
ed He was not exactly averse to
the post, but it was not the one he
most desired. What he wanted was
the embassy at Consfantinople. There
is a section OF the cabinet which con-
siders that the field marshal is just
the man for that position, for Great
| Britain needs a strong man at Con-
stantinople even more than she does
at Cairo. The great obstacle in the
way is Sir Gerard Lowther, whose
wife, it will be remembered, is a Phil
adelphian, Alice Blight. Lowther
likes Constantinople, likes the eli
mate, likes the yacht which is at the
disposition of the ambassador. Pre-
sumably so does his wife, for an
American wife doubtless knows what
is best suited for her English hus-
band. However that may be, all dip
lcmatic efforts to get Lowther out of
Ccnstantinople so as to get stronger
man in have met with failure. The
embassy at st. Petersburg has been
offered but declined, as the climate
did not suit Sir Gerard. The family
influence is too strong for the gov
eminent to flout it, and the foreign
office traditions are also against the
removal of an ambassador against
whom the only objection is that pos
sibly he is not strong enough to cope
with his rival ambassadors.
1t is universally admitted in Eng
land that the German representative
at the Sublime Porte for some years
past has been steadily scoring against
his English colleague, but the English
press remains mute on the subject.
This is for a very curious reason:
So long as Lowther is not openly at
tackled, there is the possibility of his
being induced to try other climes. If
he were attacked, his tenure of office
at Constantinople would be as solid
as rock, for the cabinet would never
dream of recalling him, any more
than it did of recalling Gorst when
the latter came under the fire of the
Roosevelt artillery.
Even those Liberals who objected
to Kitchener's receiving the Egyp-
tan appointment have conceded that |
he would get it. Today's Nation says.
Kitchener will go as nominee of the
critics of Eldon Gorst. He will be
hailed by them as a rough man who
will stand no nonsense and Egyptians
will receive his nomination as a chal- I
Ienge. 1t is easy to foresee what
must follow. Such confidence in our
good faith as Gorst had begun to es-
.ablish will be checked and an out
break of reckless discomfort and
ruthless period of repression will be
carried out by the soldier who gave
10 quarter at Omdurman and signal
zed himself by ghoulish barbarity in
oeheading the Mahdis corpse"

AMERICAN AUTHORS, SUCCESS.

LONDON, July 15.-Henry w. Saw

day, has arranged with Aubrey Hop.

Mr.. Hopwood's fanciful musical com.
edy, entitled Somewhere Else" Mr.
Hopwood will collaborate with Gustav
Luders, the composer of THE Prince
of Pilsen," who is already working on
the music for new piece.
Mr.. Savage, before his departure, ex-
pressed his conviction that American
playwrights would come into their
own during the forthcoming season.
He based his opinion primarily on
the failure of the European market,
and instanced Vienna, where, out of Is
musical productions last season, there
was not a single real success. In Ber-
lin there is the same story, while in
Paris the eternal triangle of husband,
wife and lover as the basis of a play
wearied even the public of the boule-
ward, which has hailed with relief the
arrival of Alias Jimmy Valentine" at
the Renaissance Theater.
Even in London no fewer than six
revivals are being given at the present
time, and of the four or five successes
two of the biggest-"Kismet" and
Baby Mine"-are by American au-
thors, while "Pomander Walk" won
success in New York before it could
gain hearing in London.
"All of which," said Mr.. Savage,
goes to show that the supply is not
equal to the demand of the public
taste in London. On the other hand,
the American play market is in an in
creasingly healthful condition, and |
