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, when 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 half and then found that the

From the Corrtere della Serd, htlGH.)
We shall never fully realize the
great difference betewen American
civilization, ever progressing De-
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 20

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 we're 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.

At the present he is giving lee

Every one must live. And It is
absurd to ask that In America, a
Democratic Secretary Of State, live
on such small salary as $4,000
a year. Unless Congress votes
him a large increase it forces
Bryan to the alternative Of looking
for another position, or the pros
pect Of dying of hunger.
AS increasing a salary is un-
American, Mr.. Bryan must needs
find other ways to supplement his
income.

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
most 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, -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 lack of elementary
knowledge of European geography.
He is said to have asked Am

leaving office poorer than when he
entered it. One would sup
pose that public business cannot
be efficiently transacted by persons
whose energies are so largely d.
verted to the task of making
money.
Twelve thousand dollars a year
does not seem to be a wholly in
adequate allowance for a gentle
man who a few year5 ago was a re-
porter on a provincial newspaper.
Politics in point of fact is a
very fair profession in most coun-
tries, but it is not and ought not
to be a short road to affluence.
1t is very deplOrable that Amer
lean diplomacy is left to a group

A Bizarre Combination,
SAYS Pail Mall Gazette

(From the Pau Mall Gdzette, London
1t is a singular paradox in
country where there is so much
money in politics as in the United
States, that the chief member of
the Presidents Cabinet should find
his official salary inadequate to
support his existence.
We can quite understand why
$4,000 a year is not enough for
the Secretary of State, considering
the American scale of life, but one
would have expected a man of
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.

A Story That Sounds
Almost Unbelievable.

From the WteSbdden Zeitung.)
The American papers tell, at
present, a story which sounds so
unbelievable that one might sup
pose the whole country of Uncle
Sam has yet to suffer under the
great heat of this Summer. From
New York comes report: There
is much excitement at present in
the United States, since the Sec
rotary of State. Mr.. Bryan, has

as well as over the other little
states of Central America.
, What dreadful fellows these
pacifists are!
But We must not laugh. This
good example teaches us that to
read TolStoy is one thing and to
conduct the affairs OF a great na-
ton Is another. When a man rises
to power, he finds himself face to
face with realities which were but
vaguely perceived when they were
theorized about in his hours of
leisure.

Making the Most of
His Opportunities Now

Macmillan Harden, the celebrat-
ed editor of Berlin Zukunft, said:
LAS Bryan is wholly unfamiliar
with international history and Gus
toms, and cannot remain long in
office, he is merely making the
most Of his opportunities.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-28

can not understand why your
President permits 1t. As Secre-
tary Of State, Bryan doubtless
draws larger audiences than he
would as a plain citizen. That
means he is deriving this personal
benefit from his official position.
lie Is waving the Stars and
Stripes, so to speak, as an adVer-
tisement.
The reason he gives seems to
me to make matters worse. II
ne had said he wanted to lecture
IN order to rally people to the
support of some great cause, that
at least could be understood; but
MS only explanation is that he
needs the money"
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-28

Bryan's moral courage to call upon
his country for a living wage, to
which he is entitled, rather than
to propose going on the stump as
a lecturer. in the roles of a min
lister and a professional enter
tainer.
They make a most bizarre com
bination to all British ways of
thinking, and we shall be sur
prised if even American opinion
reconciles itself to their incon-
gruity.

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.
