clined the place.
While there Is no technical objection
to the presentation at the st. Peters
burg court Of United States ambas-
sador, despite the nonexistence of the
usual treaty Of friendship, commerce
and navigation, which was terminated
last January by President Taft, it is
regarded as likely that new treaty
may be negotiated. It is therefore be-
lieved that the appointment OF an am
bassador from the United States will
tend to hasten return of cordial re-
lations between the two governments.
Doubtless the new ambassador will be
charged with the initial negotiations to
that end. The previous ambassador to
Russia was Curtis Guild Of Massachu-

Colonel Arthur Yager, recently ap-
pointed governor of Porto Rico. is q
noted educator and was for many
years president Of Georgetown college.
Georgetown, Ky Just before sailing
for his new post Governor Yager ex-
pressed himself as thoroughly in sym
pathy with the idea of comforting
American citizenship on all persons in
Porto Rico desiring it.
II say on all who desire it." explain
ed Governor Yager, because there are
some who do not care for American
ample, who after the Spanish war pre-
ferred to retain their Spanish citizen
ship, and they still remain Spanish
citizens. would not force American
citizenship on any one
''rhe need of American citizenship is
felt very widely throughout the island
by most Of its people. and especially
By those who travel in other lands.
Porto Rico at present has no flag of
its own, and It's citizens abroad are
therefore without flag to appeal to
for protection 1t Is only right that
they should have a right to the pro-
lection that the American flag fnsures
for all it's citizens. / know that this is
felt both by the island government and
the government at Washington"
Porto Rico's new governor is ma
tive Of Kentucky, fifty-five years old,
and was graduated from Georgetown
college in 1870 In 1884 he became
professor of history and economics and
for several years was chairman Of the
