consequence he has reverted his old occupation of lecturer
but lecture for pay.
But lecture in the United States here consists
of only attraction but coupled with others.
So Mr.. Bryan has made a with a manager who
sandwched in acrobas yodrs and seght of per-

According to the New York Tri-
bune six diplomats, including the
Japanese Ambassador, were wait
ing to see Mr.. Bryan on his regu-
lar reception day, VIXEN he sud
denly discovered it was his train
time. He thereupon hurried to
catch the train for Leesburg, Va,
and the waiting six Ambassadors
were told to come again.
Viscount Chinda called again on
the following day, but Mr.. Bryan
then tried to catch another train
and could not see him.
The Tribune relates that some
time ago, when the French Am
bassador called by appointment on
Mr.. Bryan, the Ambassador was
tucked away in the diplomatic re-
ception room and completely for
gotten.
The Ambassador waited one hour
and a half and then found that the
Secretary of State mad gone to
luncheon.
These incidents are much dis
cussed in diplomatic circles. Mr..
Bryan's reply to his critics takes
the form of a reminder that his
Lectures are of an entirely educa-
tional character.

(From the Corriere della Serd, Mtldn.)
We shall never fully realize the
great difference betewen American
civilization, ever progressing be-
tween two immense oceans, and
European civilization with its mar
row views and prejudices. We
are the slaves of tradition.
In Europe a minister Of foreign
affairs, when he is not occupied
with some difficult International
political affair, is only too glad to
90 to his Summer residence and
study history or geography, two
studies much neglected in our uni
versities, while in America a Sec
rotary of State, finding few
leisure moments, is willing to be-
come an attraction in a strOlling
vaudeville show.
In fact, Mr.. Bryan, Secretary OF
Foreign Affairs in the United States,
as soon as the japanese and Next
can questions were only temper
arily disposed of, allied himself
with an acrobat and a sleight of
hand man. some yodlers and clowns,
to make a tour and give lectures,
for which he is handsomely paid.

and when one is once a Demo
crat he will always be one and

bassador Charlemagne Tower once
in Berlin to explain to him the
difference between Prussia and
Germany. He seemed in some
doubt, so the story goes, as to
whether Prussia was in Germany
or Germany In Prussia.
While visiting Constantinople at
about the same time, Bryan is said
to have confused Bucharest with
Budapest and to have made in con-
sequence some bulls which plunged
the members of the Constantinople
diplomatic corps into paroxysms
of mirth.
The view held here is that if
President Wilson. and the country
at large condone the course of the
n.ost conspicuous member of the
Cabinet, Americans generally can
not expect to have their nation
hold the respect that is its due
as a factor in diplomacy.

Much Mirfh in Berlin
Over Bryan S Tactics

Berlin. Sept. 21.-What are
called Secretary Bryan's "Chau-
tauqua circus antics" are the sub
ject OF much mirth here. He Is
described by serious newspapers as
variety star" and clown" and is
the butt of ridicule on all sides.
All sorts Of stories are finding
their way into print in Germany
regarding Bryan's alleged unfit
ness to hold a position similar to
those with which European states
men identify the names of Grey,
Delcasse, Lansdowne, Cambon,
Aehrenthal, Kiderlen-Wachter, and
John Hay.
One newspaper asserts that it
has authority for the statement
that up to a few years ago Bryan's
ignorance of foreign affairs extend
ed even to a lack of elementary
knowledge of European geography.
He is said to have asked Am

but it is also true that he Is an
anti-alcohol man, and this saves

has a few Ambassadors as guests.
At the present he Is giving leo
lures o the accompaniment of merry
widow waltzes and q few card
tricks, but after a while the pub
lie will get tired of hearing a lot
of meaningless words and his
shows will not be 30 we'll attended.
AS a resourcefuI man Mr.. Bryan
might try his luck az a pedder.
Why could he not try to sell $4,000
safety razors to Japan at a 7 per
cent discount for cash, or to arbI-
trate the fate Of aIot Of second
hand clothes between Portugal and
the United States7
Every one must live. And It Is
absurd to ask that In America,
Democratic Secretary of State, live
on such a small salary as $4,000
a year. Unless Congress votes
him a large increase 1t forces
Bryan to the alternative Of looking
for another position, or the pros
pect of dying OF hunger.
AS increasing a salary is I'm.

find other ways to supplement his

Bryan's appearances, said: ut
can only be defined as one of
amazement. If the same thing
had happened twenty years ago,
when the Germans generally had
been taught to believe all sorts Of
wild and extravagant things about
America, it would not have been
so sad.
ITO the more intelligent opinion
of to-day it comes as a shock. We
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-28

of politicians who in foreign af-
fairs are the most amateurish of
amateurs, with a Secretary of
State at the head of them who is
too much occupied in delivering
popular lectures to devote all his
time to his official duties.
The United States, as we have all
learned lately, distrusts amateur
ishness in sports. 1t knows that If
you want to win in any contest you
must rely on the expert and take
care that this expert knows all
the details of his business. 1t is
therefore rather surprising that
the United States does not apply
the same admirable principle to
the conduct Of its public affairs.

ing lectures for pay on the Chau-
tauqua circuit.
His plea that his salary as Sec
rotary of State is insufficient for
him to live on will not command
serious consideration. He accepted
the portfolio knowing what his sal
airy was, and he should either de-
vote himself exclusively to the du-
ties of his office or resign. His
friends will hope that, Mr.. Bryan
will take the sensible course of
cutting out the lectures. Public
service means personal sacrifice.

Making the Most of

with International history and Gus

office, he is merely making the
most of his opportunities.

which he is entitled, rather than
to propose going on the stump as
