The Case of George Fred Williams.
Portland Express)

portland ExpresS)
The case of George Fred Williams Is
nearing the end, so far as the admin
istration is concerned. President VIII
son has ordered the new minister 10
resign. and it is reported that THIS
was done without advice from SecFe-
tary BRYAN. Possibly the Presloent
thought this a matter so serious that
II wasn't necessary to consult Mr.. 6ry-
an 70 see what course he should purz
she especially since the secretary OF
state had granted George FREQ per-
mission to visit Albania ana see ioi
himself what the situation was IN thAt
country If the first publisheo Reports
of williams observations are correct'
though, he anticipated what might pc
the outcome of his criticism OF the
mowers that be In Albania and for
warded his resignation to washington.
The resignation has not been received
in Washington, but 1t is probably on
the way. Minister Williams has long
been a supporter of Mr.. Bryan In his
politicaf campaigns, and not much sur
prise was expressed when 1t was an
nounced that he had been selected Tor
the post in Athens. The appointment
was quite in line with many others in
the diplomatic service, where friends
and supporters of Mr.. Bryan had been
rewarded with officers, regardless OF
their peculiar fitness for the positions
to which they were assigned. Will
liams's course during the few months
that he has been minister to Greece
was characteristic of the man. He
was not content to sit around and
draw his salary for the performance OF
routine duties. He must be UP ana
doing. He must show the world that
the great nation which he represented
was awake to the vital needs Of. all
others, and Albania was an inviting
field for his operations along this
line. He obtained permission to study
conditions there, and then he startled
the world with his denunciaticn Of the
powers that have control there. It
was even reported that he had circu-
larized the powers Of Europe, offering
the good offices Of the United States
in solving the Albanian problem, but
" hen this story preached Washington,
Mr.. Bryan apparently took no interest
in it, Finally it became necessary for
the secretary to issue statement in
which he claimed that George Fred 5
proclamation was unauthorized by the
state department, and then followed
President Wilson's demand for the
minister's resignation. Such is the
new diplomacy.

Under the headline, "A Criminal Res
cuer," the Berliner Tageblatt tells this
story: "A man who had probably be-
come weary of the battle of life en-
deavorsd to end it all by hanging HIM
self. He chose for the scene of his exit
a forest, and had succeeded in sus-
pending himself by the neck when
youth passing that way came upon the
grewsome scene. He cut the man
down, who in falling injured his head
Next day the youth was arrested for
causing bodily injury to the would-be
suicide, and in defense could say only
that he did not usually carry cush-

Cupid Goes Hunting.

(Grace McKinstry, in Truth)

For / saw young Cupid start
With his bow and arrow.-scooting
Away to shoot hart,
With-whom, think YOU, to guioe nlms
No rugged man, at all;
/ plainly saw beside him
A maiden, 1.-the and small.
The maiden, walking quickly.
Soon got ahead of him;
The wood was crowded thickly
With brush, and rather dim,
So Cupid made a blunder
And shot his guide! Twas queer,
But really, can you WONDER
She was perfect deer!

A letter in the London Spectator
dated May. It'll, gives a most interest
ing description of an academy where
ladies could be drilled in the proper
use or their fans and initiated into the
mysteries Of the angry ddtter, the
modest flutter. the timorous hutter, the
confused flutter. the merry nutter aud
the amorous flutter." III the eighteenth
century at dancing assemblies in Lon
don. Bath and other places Of fashion
able resort gentlemen chose their part
ners by lottery Of the fan" The fans
of all the ladies' present were placed in
Il hat, whence each gentleman had the
privilege Of selecting one. the lady to
whom it belonged becoming his allotted
partner for the evening. OF course
such a custom entailcd a great study
Of fans on the part Of the gentlemen.

thing to say about the fan. and Guy,
