WEALTH THE PRINCIPAL RE-
QUIREMENT TO HOLD DOWN
AN EMBASSADORSHIP UNDER
PRESENT SCHEDULE OF SAL
ARIES.

President Wilson is seriously
troubled by the repeated refusals of
prominent Democrats to accept high
diplomatic appointments on account
of financial inability to maintain the
positions. and he practically appeal
ed to the country to support him in
a request that congress pay ambassa-
doris and ministers enough to enable
poor men to reprensent this country
abroad.
This appeal was made in a state
ment concerning the refusal by Will
liam McCombs of the ambassador
ship TO France, which was based
solely on the ground that he could
not afford to take the place. The
president said:

McCombs annot accept the appoint

him and the intimate relations that
exist between us, combine to make
my disappointment very great in

the force of the reason he gives.
HE would have accepted at an
unreasonable sacrifice, and I could
not further press the offer upon him
ut is a great pity that the coun-
try has TO ask such sacrifices of those
who are invited to serve it abroad
a service which every year becomes
more exacting and more important.
THE sacrifice of time, of money
and of opportunity at home is very
serious for any but men of large
means and lesisure, and the diploma

and arouse a sort of titillating en-
thusiasm.
There are three acts of this ice
pageant, one called Winter Sport at
st. Moritz," the second "A Sotree
in a Hotel de Luxe" and the third
a Japanese Festival" In the sec
ond, all the skaters and skating
principals wear gorgeous evening
gowns, as handsome as anything
even America could desire, and in
the japanese scene they are all XII
mOnOed and Japanesed in the most
bewildering riot of colors. Daz-
cling calcium is shed over the pro-
ceedings, and-well, It is a sensa-
ton.
The best of II all Is that you are
dining at the Admiral's Palast. All
around the magnificent and impos-
ing ice field are tables where all
the Berlinese dine and drink their
beloved beer. II is not deliberately
expensive, as such a thing would be
in America. You pay your so or so
cents for seat, and your dinner is
less costly than II would be at an
ordinary restaurant
And, believe me, Il Is IN this
moderation, this ungrasping cater
ing to the multitude, that the sue
cess OF such giant scheme as the
Admirals Palast lies.

Special cable to The American.

LONDON, July 19.-Mrs Bridget
MCGOWAN. a widow living in the West
Of ireland, has written to a London
newspaper that her husband was third
officer of the Peruvian bark Mary
Pho (Holy Nary, which conveyed the
"Cocos Island treasure" from Lima to
Cocos Island in 1855. in order to pre-
vent it from falling into the hands
of Chilean invaders.
This is the first time in the volu-
minous literature of the Cocos treas
ure question that some person has
appeared who claims to have been
acquainted personally with any mem
Der Of the crew OF the treasure ship.
1t also indicates an entirely new his
tory of the treasure.
The accepted story OF all the
treasure hunters hitherto has been
that the incident took place in 1895,
when the Spanish colonies revolt ed
from the mother country. and Ne
Spanish loyalists Of Lima, In order
to save their valuables from the In
vading Peruvian patriots, chartered
a British ship called the Mary Deer
to remove the treasure to CocOs Is
land.
Mrs MCGOWAN declares that the
Mary Pho, with crew of SO. conveyed
the treasure to Cocos Island ana
buried it in four caches.
The ship was wrecked in hurri-
cane off Cocos, and only three OF the
crew reached the shore.
One was the writer's husband; the
other two, an Englishman and a
We1shman died afterWard on the Is
land from eating poisonous berries.
The third mate survived and re-
tanned a map of the location of the
four caches in which five tons Of gold
were hidden.
His widow says that 80 years ago
he gave the map to man who is still
living. She adds that an exact copy
Of that map is still extant and Is well
preserved.

Germany is possessed by a craze for

All over the country thousands and

Craze for Sport Increases.
To a certain extent Germany has
always been a sport-loving country.
It's "turnvereins," which are so we'll
known in every city in America,
where a German colony exists, are
older than any similar associations in
Europe, but of late the craze for
sports has reached proportions un-
known in any other country in the
world.
This renaissance of athletics Is In
the first place due to the Kaiser per-
sonally who has encouraged sport
from the day of his accession and his
pride was certainly justified when he
said in his speech at a regatta the

$4,000 oarsmen in Germany belong

Reports Of Prime Minister With

By PHILIP EVERETT.

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, July 1s.-Seldom, If ever
has the air here been as full of DO
litical rumors as during the last few
weels-a fact which seems to show
that the heat Of the summer has
played havoc with the brains of our
conservative editors and politicians
for all the rumors invariably may be
traced back to the camp of the OppO-
sition.
The fall and collapse OF tine present
Government was confidently predict
ed as destined to take place long ago,
and when the prophecy was not full
filled, the political gossips began TO
talk of all the important changes that
were to take place in the Cabinet.
Asquith to Appoint lsaaos.
The most sensational of these pre-
dictions was that Mr.. Asquith, tired
with the burdens and responsibilities
of his office, would resign after APP
pointing himself Lord Chief Justice
to succeed Lord AlverstOne, who, as
everybody knows, will never resume
his seat on the bench.
A successor will have to be found,
but as the long court vacation is at

and then, no matter how often the
Tory press has predicted that Mr.. As
quith would never dare do, he will
nominate Sir Rufus lsaacs for the va
cant position.

for in all England there is no man
more fit to hold this high office than

peared.

can assure my readers, on the
very best authority that Mr.. Asquith
has not the slightest intention Of
leaving the political arena now, and
everybody who knows him knows that
this is so.
The statesman who. IN face of I'M
exRmpled difficulties, passed the Par
lament act is not going to leave his
post until the fruits of that great
measure are garnered.
A distinguished colleague of Mr.
Asquith's in the present Cabinet said
a few weeks ago: Loyalty is one Of
the brightest Jewels in the crown OF
the Prime Minister'S character" That
loyalty win not be wanting to the
Liberal party at this juncture in Its
fortunes. There Is also a loyalty that
a man owes to himself, and Mr.. As
quith must feel that 1t is incumbent
on him to see that the machine which
he fashioned in the Parliament act is
capable of doing It's work.
