Mrs. B. N. Allen Advances
LARGE Sum to Make Posi-
Die Experiment in
Small Farming

Through the generosity of Mrs. B.
NJ. Allen Of this city, $4,000 has been
advanced to a group of homesteaders
who will make an interesting and
thorough experiment of small-farming
in the Waimea district of Hawaii.
Mrs. Allen has advanced the money
almost without security, but Govern
or Frear has modified the homestead
ing papers so that the patentees are
allowed to mortgage their lands to
protect the loan made to them for
farming equipment, buildings and
seeds.
The name of the group of home
steders is the Puukapu Land Associa-

New Ambassador to Italy, Author
of Many Stories, Leaves Him
self Out of Discussion.

YORK HARBOR, ME. July 10
Are authors better qualified to fill
diplomatic posts than others? The
appointment Of Thomas Nelson Page
as Ambassador TO Italy brings this
subject 20 the fore. coupled with the
appointments made by President
Wilson.
The greatest diplomats America
boasts were men of letters. BENJAMIN
Franklin John Hay Nathaniel Haw-
thorue, James Russell Lowell. William
Dean Howell furnish a distinguished
list
Mr. Page. who is so, is modesty
persOnifed lie has been reporter
lawyer, writer. and has succeeded in
all
Mr.. Page asked if he could explain
AS an author what special qualfiCa-
tions n man Of letters possesses to
perform the duties Of Ambassador
consented to speak, leaving his own
case out Of the discussion. said he:
"A man Of letters is better fitted to
do anything better than anyone else.
His work has broadened his horizon;
II il hadn't we might as well do away
with letters
Must Know Problems.
THE author must necessarily be
COuvcrsant with the economic and
governmental problems Of the day.
II think the greatest good authors
in general have alone is TO interpret
the spirit Of the section about which
they write There can be no doubt
there Is better feeling now between
the North and the South than there
was before the Spanish American
war This, / believe is because Of
writer's.
Every part Of the world is being
more properly set before another part
by the authors.
THE President has had a thorough
training. Besides the college educa-
ton he has had associations with the
North and the South, and he is con-
vcrsant with the economic and gov
ernmontal problems He is a man Of
strong character and has been de
servedly selected by the people to
hold their most important office
Il met Walter Page prior to his dc
parture for his London post and gave
him "a dinner His whole heart was
set upon the desire to make good "
Qualifications of Diplomat.
What is your idea Of the qualiflCa-
lions good diplomat possesses? ' he
was asked.
Devotion to his duty is perhaps the
first and most important" he replied.
Then comes devotion 10 your coun-
try, application to your duty and q
desire to bring your country and the
country to which you have been sent
closer together
"Of course. since the cable came
into use foreign posts are brought
closer to the state Department at
Washington, and 1t must be "a great
comfort TO an Ambassador to feel that
al ANY tine he may seek aid from
Washington.
Il believe Charles Francis Adams
was the last foreign ambassador to
be thrown upon his own resources,
and that was because the cable was
cut
Rome is indeed a charming post
l believe it is the most romantic city
in the world. | am sure l shall like
it."

ing money"
Senator Bristow said action would
be had on his resolution. He said
too, that there would be quite a little
discussion on the subject. It proba-
bly, will be referred to a committee.
Senator Bacon, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations says It
probably would be handled in a rou-
tine way"
Mr.. Bacon says he thought the reso-
luton was introduced to bring about
discussion of the course Of Mir.
Bryan, and that remedial legislation
was not demanded
Many Senators, while not permit
ting themselves to he quoted. agreed
that Mr.. Bryan had made grave
mistake. Mr. Townsend, Of Michigan,
holds that the Secretary is doing that
which is denied TO every subordinate
employe of the Government and de-
nounced II as reprchensible.

following
