= ollar Diplomacy" is the popu-
lar 4ame for q sort Of ''gentlemen's
agreement" which exists between
the foreign affairs departments of
ths3 Ave great powers Of Europe.
Under this agreement the armies and
nAvtss of these powers are used to
enforce the claims of financiers who
axs exploiting the weaker nations of
the earth. 1t is great scheme for
thA financiers but 1t is rather hard on
thdsweaker nations.
TAFT, and Knox, his Secretary Of
St4te, wanted the United States
made party to this agreement In
order that the Morgans and Rocke-
feilers might get share Of the rich
International graft.
.sDollar Diplomacy" found an at
tractive field in China and decreed
that the new republic should not be
admitted to the sisterhood Of nations
until it submitted its neck to the
cdllar Of the Money Trust. The amaz-
Ing thing is that the United States
became party to this conspiracy on
the plea that 1t wished to safeguard
the interests Of China. That the lat
ter protested 'veheminently against
the safeguarding process did not In
liuence Taft and Knox who insisted
on playing the game Of money kings.
Soon after the Inauguration Presi-
dent Wilson turned his attention to
Chinese affairs and quietly fathomed
the schemes of "Dollar Diplomacy"
He consulted both the accredited
representatives OF the Chimes repub-
lie and, going on the theory that the
men who could overthrow the last Of
the Manchu emperors probably knew
something about the needs uf their
country. dealt Dollar Diplomacy"
Its death blow.
The net result is that the country
has cut away from all alliance with
the Money Trust and the land grab
bing European powers and has set
ont on course which will win the
friendship-and probably the lions
share of the trade--of the most pop
ulous nation in the world.
| That is not only good American
doctrine but is sound business and
diplomatic sense. 1t is the sort Of
thing that makes one proud Of being
; citizsa pf the United States.

.Eoyptian Justice.

In ancient Egypt all court business
was carried on in writing in order that
the decision might not be influenced ny
oratory or personal appeal. The laws
lay before the judges upon a table, ana
the accuser declared in writing bow he
had been injured, whereupon the de-
PENDANT stated in writing what he had
to say. Then came a rnjoindcr from
each party to the case. after which the
Judges deliberated among themselves
until they had hit upon the proper le'
gal penalty for the party who a ~
the meantime been adju1gel guilty.
This point being reached. the president
of the judges touched with an image

The Marching Soma.

No one knows the inspiration of a
tramping song better than the soldier.
and most regiments have their favor
lite airs, which they love to yell when
on march. The men Of the Manches-
ter regiment have, a fine reputation
for singing on the march. and two OF
their favorite songs are "Killal0e' and
Brian Boru." both OF which give 0p.
portunity for some hearty shouts at
Intervals. Similarly the YOrkshires.
when route marching, enliven the way
with "Dan Tucker" a song in which
the words are of no account and the
tune a series Of diabolical yells.-Lon-

HE PASSED IT ON.
The Diplomat Saved Himself by .
Quick Witted Russ.

The passing OF the court fool as an
Institution did not mean that kings had
ceased to take pleasure In the sort OF
nonsense that the testers had been
licensed 10 perpetrate. King FrederlcE
William /. Of Prussia was an incor-
rigible joker and greatly enjoyed test
ing the c%leverness of his ministers and
advisers by planning embarrassing
situations, from which they could ex-
tricate themselves only by the exercise
Of the quickest wit. However, "Das
Buch Fur Ale declares that the king
was almost as ready to enjoy his own

victim. 49,. ... '.. ~.
One day at a small dinner the king.

As the tap was passed from guest
to guest round the table. the kings in

either have to commit lesc majestic by

| Of the table.
Although the company was already
in q gale Of merriment at his expense,
the minister was not at all ready tO
acknowledge a defeat. just as tho
blow was passed to him he let a knife
fall gathering to the floor between the
king and himself. Immediately a serv'
ant sprang forward. picked the knife
up and handed it to the minister. but

pressive Mountain.
Travellers declare that Mount Shasta
is the most impressive mountain in the
world, for 1t stands solitary and alone.
Unlike Pixies peak and many other OF
the worlds great mountains. it is not
surrounded by Il number of Lesser ones,
lnd its tremendous height-l4,lID feet
is appreciated by the eye. "
1t is subIimely grand and yet grace
fully beautiful. Against the blue Of Il
California sky its curved outlines seem
to sweep IN the perfect segments of II
circle from the apex Of the o. to the
horizon.
Far up on its base the dark green Of
the timber line Is met by the virgin
Wilderness OF ShaSta's snow, and then
on, up and up, far past the summer
clouds, points the alabaster pyramid.
Shasta Is an extinct volcano and has
two large glaciers. The Whitney gla-

Snow is warm by virtue OF its light
