were impossible, they insisted on de-
lay.
And Madero, who could dream great
dreams, could not manage men and
make them execute them.
He fell and was murdered in mill
tary revolution.
During his rule O'Shaughnessy had
become extremely friendly with him
and when his murderer, Huerta, sue
ceeded him, O'Shaughnessy quickly
cultivated personal relationship with
him.
O'Shaughnessy's views seemed to be
that while 10000 or 10000 Americans
lived in Mexico, most of them directly
or indirectly extending American trade
with this country, they should have in
him friend at court. In other words
he was forever trying to establish an
influence with the Mexican govern
ment whatever that was.
After the removal of Henry Lane
Wilson as ambassador last July, no
one was appointed to succeed him, and
O'Shaughnessy became charge DAT
flares.
1t is believed he made no representa-
tons as to the policy of recognizing
the Huerta government. Certainly if he
did they were never known outside the
state department and cabinet.

He makes the abstract sound like the
concrete in remarkable way.
He was appointed first by Roosevelt
in 1904 as secretary to Copenhagen
at the age of twenty-seven. He was
one of those rich young fellows in New
York city who ran to clothes. tennis
md money. Some people call them
"clubmen," though of course he would
sooner eat soup with his knife than
use such an expression. His family
wished him into the diplomatic service
because he did not care enough for
money to work fer it.
The Republican senators of his state
held his appointment up. but Roose-
welt had one of his obstinate fits and
AnGily showed II through.
In 1905 he was transferred to Berlin
as third secretary and played tennis
with the crown prince. In 1907 he
went to Vienna. where he stayed four
years.
He was distinguished in neither
place except as jolly good fellow
which nobody can deny-and a chap
whose taste in gentlemen's shirtings,
suitings and sockings was infallibly
prophetic.
He was offered the appointment as
minister to Bucharest, but some Of his
jealous friends had his appointment
held up in the senate, hoping to get
him better one.
He knew nothing Of this at the time
but was blamed for it, and for discip-
line he was given second secretaryship
TO Mexico. This was in the days be-
fore the excitement and automatically
a distinct step downward.
Doubtless he was expected to re-
sign, but he didn't, and his reward
followed quickly. A month after
O'Shaughnessy's arrival in Mexico
City Diaz fed, and the Mexican post
became the most important IN our
service. Then O'Shaughnessy forgot
about shirtings and tieings. For big
show was coming off and he wanted to
take part in it.
Francisco Madero entered Mexico
City as the leader of a social revolu-
ton. He stood for the redistribution
Of property in land. He rode into
power on the promises he made the
poems that he would make them own

might have been precipitated. but
O'Shaughnessy realized this was what
the home government did not then
want and STAYED 1t off.
1t must have taken considerable
staving off, especially after President
Wilson's announced policy of watch

O'Shaughnessy and a lot of other
O'Shaughnessys behind him in direct
line have kissed the blarney stone and
he managed it.
One of his chief difficulties during
this period was getting Americans out
of Jail. Huerta for the life of him
couldn't see why they shouldn't stay
in Jail for their offenses, real or other.

eddy because he Is Catholic.
The main reason, however, seems to
be his human understanding, his ex
traordinary ability for getting into the
other mans skin and seeing things
from his standpoint, and in his Ian
guage. He speaks French, Italian,
German and Spanish.
Talk to him for half an hour AND
you feel like laying your problems be
fore him; for another half hour and he

The most conspicuous example OF
his native diplomatic endowment may
be left to the end. He not only was
intimate personally with Diaz, Madero
and Huerta, one after the other, but
he kept his job successfully under
Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson.
This young diplomat of thirty-seven
plays poker equally well with or with
out cards under the bland exterior OF
a dandy. When the Irish take that line
they're hard to fool--and, when they
want to be, they're great foolers.

Special Correspondent of the Chicago IT'D

Vera CruZ.-For the last ten months
Nelson O'Shaughnessy has held the
most important job in the diplomauc
service of the United States. He mas
been charge d'affaires in Mexico
which means he has been steadily M
gering the most infamed spot In our
foreign relations
That he has showed we'll a truly
amazing combination Of cunning, cour-
tesy and calm is evident not only from
the grateful testimony Of the Amerl-
can refugees now in Vera Cruz, out
also from his achievement in getting
on comfortably with three successive
Mexican governments, all bitterly an
tagonistic to each other, first with the
old regime of Porfirio Diaz, then with
the Madero revolutionists, who tried
him out. then with the Huertistas, VINO
turned Madero into his grave.
Undoubtedly if O'Shaughnessy had
waited In Mexico City for the ultimate
arrival of General Villa he would have
been teaching that eminent generals

of the Mexico club within month.
He is pluperfect jollier, is Mr.. Mel

artistic. He sits and smiles and bushes

embarrassed youth conversing with a

easily. You tell him what you know
and then ne tells you what you know,
and when you go you are impressed
with his exceptional penetration and
hope to meet him again and have an

say anything in particular. but a whole
lot in general, and says It charmingly.
