Richard Lee MetcaR Leaves for the
Canal Zone-Simplifying Work
in Agricultural Department

Washington, Aug. 9.-(Special)
Although Woodrow Wilson has
been president but a little over five
months, he has demonstrated beyond
question his fitness to deal with big
national problems in a statesmanlike
way, even though his political oppo-
nents differ with him in fundamen-
tails Of government with especial ref
erence to the needs and desires Of
the people.
While the Wilson administration
will be marked by the breaking Of
many time-honored precedents, It
will also be distinguished for the
number Of literary men chosen to
represent the government at the cap
itals Of Europe and the East, many
of the men thus chosen standing in
the front rank Of the literati of the
American nation, whose works are
household words wherever the Eng
llsh language is spoken.
Not alone, however, will the Will
son administration be distin guished
for the number Of literary men who
have been made ambassadors and
ministers to foreign governments.
but 1t will be universally commend
ed for the generally exceptionally
high character of those selected for
diplomatic places not only to the re-
publics to the south of us, but to
Europe and the orient.
Whatever may arise to embarrass
the Wilson administration, It can
not be said that mediocre mon were
selected for high positions at the dip
lomatic courts of the world. 4,
