One period Of the decline OF the
Roman empire, you remember, was
marked by the activities Of Agrippina.
In her second wtdowhood she induced
the Emperor Claudius, her own uncle,
to marry her, and espoused his daugh-

other. to her own son, Nero. In, or

she ruined many rich and noble Ro-

that we help in such times these We should be
thankful that the country produces abundany as to

LONDON AND BERLIN.
Published in 1881

At this very moment the natives of
Berlin and the natives of London
more than vaguely believe that they
may suddenly find themselves in open
and deadly war. Are those people so
hostile, those two cities SO violently
and inherently opposed, that war is
necessary and unavoidable? Not at
all. The danger of war does not exist
in the individuals of either race (taken
separately nor in the political SYN
thesis we call a ely; it exists only in
the larger syntheis we call a state.
That is, whereas, the Germans and the
English are sympathetic on the per-
sonal basis, and are mutually tolerant
when taken city by city, they are pre-
pared, as Germany and England, to
shock and injure the whole civilized
world. Or, to carry the deduction

dissolved into synthesis larger than
either and including both, this fateful
war cloud would instantly become a
mass of smoke and vapor Could
they be united in some larger political
unit, as London and Chester or Mas
sachusetts and Virginia are united,
they would incur as little risk of war
as two cities of one kingdom, or two
states in one federation. Is such
a larger unit impossible? But %

were at desperate war; and only a

ter were capitals of rival kingdoms

DIPLOMATIC SERVICE
IS BRYANIZED

THE Wilson administration has
very frequently blundered; it has
sometimes deliberately erred because
it preferredsto do so. An instance of
this is the prostitution of the diplo-
matte service which the past eight
cen months have witnessed. Since
the European war began, we have
properly heard much of the vast op-
portunities for the trade expansion of
the United States, especially with
Latin-America. But if we are to gain
the trade of the Latin-Americans,
sensitive as they are, we must first de-
serve their friendship. One OF the
most natural routes toward mutual
respect and esteem is through the
character of the diplomatic represen-
tatives which we as a nation send out
to the various Latin republics to the
southwark.
The Roosevelt and Taft administra-
tons. under the able guidance in this
field of Secretaries Hay, Root, and
Knox, had gone far to put our diplo-
matte appointments upon merit
basis; promotion even to the rank Of
minister on the basis of meritorious
service had come to be accepted as the
guiding principle of the State De-
partment. At the advent of the De-
mocratic administration a year and a
half ago few doubted that this prin-
ciple would be continued and even
strengthened. The Democratic plat
form said: Merit and ability should
be the standard of appointment rather
than service rendered a political
party
What was the sequel? The Demo
cratic administration lost no time in
throwing overheard practically every
chief of mission in the diplomatic ser
vice; out of 48 posts held by an am
bassador or by minister but three re-
main of those in office March 4, 1913.
Veterans who had given their lives
and splendid intellects to the diplo-
matte service were forced to walk the
plank with the same celebrity as
younger and less experienced men.
"Of the fifteen men who have been
displaced as Latin-American ministers
during the past year, eleven had work
ed up by sheer merit-under the Hay
Root theory of promotion-from sub
ordinate places in the diplomatic ser
vice, either as consul, or as secretary.
The average number of poses occup-
led by the fifteen men so displaced
was six and the average diplomatic
experience was thirteen years. 1t is
indeed a motley crew which has re-
placed them. Almost everyone is of
the Bryan school of politics and dip
lomacy. One has already been recall
ed for conspicuous and ingenious in
competence; another is now in the
United States on an indefinite leave
of absence which bids fair to be made
permanent; third resigned without
taking a post under circumstances
which have never been fully explained
1t is interesting to remember that
our one diplomatic representative who
stands out head and shoulders above
his fellows in the European crisis
and even he has now been replaced
is an appointee of the last Republican
admins the Honorable Myror
T. Herrick, Ambassador to France
