REORGANIZATION OF
STATE DEPARTMENT.

AT the beginning OF the present admin
istration the United States, having tuhy
entered upon it's position az world pow
or. with the responsibilities thrust upon
Il by the results of the Spansh-Amer1can
War. and already engaged In laying the
groundwork Of a vast foreign trade upon
which II should one day become more and
more dependent, found itself without the
machinery for giving thorough attention
10 and taking effective action upon a
mass Of intricate business vital TO Amer
lean interests in every country in the
world.
The Department Of State was an archaic
and inadequate machine, lacking most OF
the attributes of the foreign office OF any
great modern power. With an appropria-
ton made upon my recommendation py
the Congress on August o, 1909 the De-
partment Of State was completely reor-
sanized. There were created divisions OF
I.stin-American Affairs and OF Far East
arm. Near Eastern and Western European
Affairs. To these divisions were called
from the foreign service diplomatic and
consular officers possessing experience and
knowledge gained by actual service in
dlnfre0t pats VI llc eHN
familiar with political and commercial
conditions In the regions concerned. The
work was highly specialized. The result
is that where previously this government
from time TO time would emphasize In its
foreign relations one or another policy.
now American interests in every quarter
OF the globe are being cultivated with
equal assiduity. This principle of poliuco-
geographical division possesses also the
good feature OF making possible rotation
between the officers OF the departmental,
the diplomatic and the consular branches
OF the foreign service. and thus keeps
the whole diplomatic and consular estab-
Iishments under the Department OF State
IN close touch and equally inspired with
the aims and policy OF the government.
Through the newly created Division OF
information the foreign service is kept
fully Informed OF what transpires from
day 10 day In the international relations
OF the country. and contemporary foreign
comment affecting American interests Is
promptly brought to the attention Of the

LARGER PROVISION FOR
EMBASSIES AND LEGATIONS.

In connection with legislation for the
amelioration of the foreign service ! wish
to invite attention TO the ACCESSIBILITY Of
placing the salary appropriations upon a
better basis. l believe that the best re-
suits would be obtained by a moderate
scale of salaries, with adequate funds for
the expenses of proper representation,
based in each case upon the scale and cost
Of living at each post. controlled by sys-
tenn of accounting and under the general
direction of the Department Of State.
In line with the object which / have
sought of placing our foreign service on a
basis of permanency. 1 have at various
times advocated provision by Congress for
buildings for the residence and Offices OF
our diplomatic officers, SO as TO place them
more nearly on an equality with similar
officers Of other nations and TO do away
with the discrimination which otherwise
must necessarily be made in some cases
In favor OF men having large private
fortunes. The act of Congress which /
approved on February II. 1911, was a
right step In this direction. The Secretary
of State has already made the limited
recommendations permitted by the act for
any one year. and II is my hope that the
bill introduced in the House OF Repre-
sentatives TO carry out these recommen-
dations will be favorably acted on by the
Congress during its present session
In some Latin-American countries the
expense OF government owned legations
will be less than elsewhere. and II is GER
tainly very urgent that in such countries
as some of the republics of Central Amer
lea and the Caribbean, where 1t is pecul-
iarly difficult TO rent suitable quarters, the
representatives Of the United States should
be Justly and adequately provided with
dignifed and suitable official residences.
Indeed, II is high time that the dignity and
power OF this great nation should be ft-
tingly signalized by proper buildings for
the occupancy OF the nations representa-
tives everywhere abroad.

this feature Of the law should be amend
ed in such q way as to provide fully
effective means of meeting the varying
degrees Of discriminatory treatment OF
American commerce in foreign countries
still encountered, as we'll as to protect
against Injurious treatment on the part
Of foreign governments, through either
legislative or administrative measures
the financial interests abroad Of American
citizens whose enterprises enlarge the
market for American commodities.
I cannot too strongly recommend TO the
Congress the passage Of some SUCH en-
abling measure as the bill which was
recommended by the Secretary or State
In his letter OF December 49, 1911. The OBJ
ject Of the proposed legislation Is, In
brief. to enable the Executive to apply,
as the case may require, to any or all
commodities, whether or not on the free
list, from a country which discriminates
against the United States. a graduated
scale Of duties up to the maximum OK 20
per cent ad valorem provided in the pres
ent law. Flat tariffs are out OF date. Ma
lions no longer accord equal tariff treat
ment to all other nations irrespective OF
the treatment from them received. Such
a flexible power at tho command OF the
Executive would serve to moderate any
unfavorable tendencies on the part OF
those countries from which the importa-
tions into the United States are substan-
TALLY confined to articles on the free list,
as we'll as Of the countries which find a
lucrative market in The United States for
their products under existing customs
rates. 1t is very necessary that the
American government should be equipped
with weapons OF negotiation adapted to
modern economic conditions. in order that
we may at all times be in position to
gain not only technically Just but actually
equitable treatment for our trade, and
also for American enterprise and vested
interests abroad.

ADMIRAL WAINWRIGHT CRITIcIzES
Says Congress Does Not Know Nays
Needs.

Neither Congress nor the ordinary
citizen is sufficiently conversant with
the needs of the United States Navy,
declared Rear Admiral Richard Vain
wright in an address last night at
Kansas City at the annual banquet of
the Kansas City Commercial Club in
commemoration of the signing of the
John Jay treaty.
His address was in the interest of
the Navy League of the United
States The speaker argued that
the people seek information and use
their personal influence toward the
Improvement of the nation s naval de-
lenses.
"There is enthusiasm for the
navy" he said, but it is frothy and
lacks depth. Many believe in the
navy as something that gratifies the
pride, but has litcle to do with the real
business of life
The Admiral said a proposition
for a national board of naval defense
before Congress for several years
should be pushed toward accomplish
ment, as should the navy personnel
bill.

mand grades too late in life. Legis-
lation along the lines of readjusting
the grades is needed greatly"

LIES SHOP WINDOW.
A Thrilling Story Told in Play at
Colonial Theatre Nov. Is.

Who of US has not pass ed at Christ
mas time before a brilliantly lighted
shop window, in which, under the
glare of the lights. were ranged from
end to end Christmas cards of every
imaginable hue, shape, size and price?
Being struck by their beauty, the
deIicacy of one is thrown up by tbs
briIliance ofkancther, each helping Ito
lend charm to its mate, until one
fancies in each the beauty, which is
really the beauty of the whole. At
last, who, upon making our choice
and returning home. with the glamour
of the shop window still in our eyes,
has not been disappointed with what
we bought? Not that which we
chose-but the whole brilliant dis
play was what charmed us-what we
desired and thought we were buying.
This is the story of happiness and
regret told in "Life's Shop Window"
dramatized from that sensational
story of the same title by Victoria
Cross, which comes to the Colonial
Theatre next Monday night, Novem-
Der %. 1t tells how a pretty, gen.

and afterward grew to think she had
chosen wrong. How her eyes were

quires four acts with many dramatic
situations and climaxes in the tell

William j. Bryan, of Nebraska,

the first time in many months Mr..
Bryan and the Speaker of the House
find themselves in the same town

Friends of the Speaker are inclined
to be resentful over statement made
by Bryan that Mr.. Clark should be re-
elected presiding officer of the House.
They say Mr.. Clark was assured Of
another term before Mr.. Bryan had
anything to Say IN the subject.

NAVY TARGET PRACTICE.
Completed Last Week Off the Capes.

S~AAf~~~~N ~%e-ss U~~A 0A e4~ N~F~~s
The Atlantic feet completed tar
get practice last week off the Capes
of the Chesapeake. These vessels
that did not engage in the elemen-
tary short-range practice Of the fleet
in September completed that work.
The minimum range was 1880
yards. The Idaho and New Hamp-
shire did particularly good work and
nearly equaled the performance of
the newer Dreadnaughts. The Idaho
was excellent with all guns except
the 8-inch and the New Hampshire
with guns of S-inch and lesser cali
bers. The feet as a whole engaged
in divisional long-range firings.
This practice was at minimum
range of 1000 yards, and it was
more realistic and advanced than
heretofore attempted. The old tor
pedo boats Mackenzie, Cushing and
ericsson had been prepared for use as
targets in this practice, but it was
found impracticable to use them on
account Of the bad weather condi-
tions.
The California, Colorado, Maryland
and South Dakota, of the Pacific
fleet, which have been unable to
perform target practice this fall,
owing to demands for their services
in other directions, will conduct ele-
mentaTy short-range practice off San
Diego, CAL, the last of this moath.

THE NEW BATTLEsHIp.
Bids to be Submitted After First Of
Year.

1t is now expected that bids for
the new battleship authorized at the
last session of Congress will be sub
mitted after the first Of the new year
The naval authorities are engaged on
the preliminary plans and speeifica-
tions.
The ship will be similar in design
to the Nevaca and Oklahoma, with
certain minor improvements. The
speed will probably be the same. and
according to present plans there will
be an alteration ia the battery, nor is
there likely to be any change in the
design which will increase the
steaming radius. The naval experts
entertain the view that the latest
hatsleships have sufficient endurance
TO meet all the demands likely to be
made on them.
The main change in favor of the
new battleships will be in the matter
of srmor. which will be of increased
thickness in places, especially in the
side armor, and Of improved distri-
button. There continues to be feali-
cation that there must be a special
provision against submarine attack,
and the new design will have in con-
temptation this additional resi- stance.
This country is taking the lead in
this matter of greater protection as
compared with the foreign navies.
1t has not yet been determined
whether the new ship viii be equip
ped with reciprocating engines or
turbines, but the impression pre-
walls that turbine mechanism will
be adopted.
