An amusing side light Is thrown
upon the Ambassador utter simplicity
when formaiities could he dispensed
with. When his family arrived at
Constantinople and 1t was necessary
to put the embassy In shape Mr.. Nor
genthau promptly shed his coat and
set about hanging pictures in n thor
uughly democratic manner. For the
time being. his problem was a domestic
one his whole heart was In doing the
work well and with freedom. Again, he
vas concentrating, and In just the
same spirit he has already turned his
mind to the more serious diplomatic
problems that have arisen during his
lnCumhenCy.
There have been many OF these yet
the American people generally know
little Il them or the triumphs Mr.. Nor
genthau has won by tact, patience and
his friendly way. As n friend has OK
pressed It, Henry MorGenthau has
probably asked fewer questions of the
state Department than any other man
in our diplomatic service and yet has
done his work we'll and anticipated the
development OF events.

OF some cahal or tho charge Of in
tr.cue How thoroughly the American
Ambassador at Constantlnople has won
the confidence Of the people to whom
he is accredited is strikingly cXempllned
by a single incident
Last summer G. *. q. Billings was
abroad IN his yacht and at CONSTANT

American Ambassador and wished 10
return tn" courtesy hut did not know
whom to invite. Accordingly. he asked
Mr.. Morrr nthau to name the Turkish
guests, and without hesitation all Of
them accepted and went aboard the
yacht for dinner. This ass mblage
caused no end OF ACCOMPLISHMENT and
comment in diplomatic circles there
because apparently Mr.. Morgenthau
had achieved during his short stay nj
tho Turkish capital more than any oi
his elder foreign associates had been
able TO do.

For the past $500 years, rather, the Slavs
have been divided in three groups.

slavs and the southern SlavS These
three groups here, as history proves bc-
yond DOUBT, mingled with various races
and peoples. The western Slavs have for
mary centuries past blended chiefly with
Germanic stock. the eastern Slavs with
Asiatlcs CFinns, Mongolians, Tatars)
and the southern Sldvs, in their western
wing, mainly with Teutons aud Cclts,
while in their eastern wing they have
comminglcd with Monaghan and other
tribes, such as the Avars, the Huns and
others, partly of unknown origin and
wholly submerged This last, for instance,
