STA would be prepared to face the inva-

defensive preparations in the east must
be equal to those of the west.
Urged War Readiness.
While he thought Russians should re-
frain from an aggressive policy, he de-
clared that if Japan continued her eco
nomic invasion of Manchuria, which
had already reached the frontier Of the
Russian zone of influence, Japan and
Russia were liable to come into col
lision sooner or later in Manchuria- He
countries would only be strengthened
by keeping their ornaments on an
equal footing
He estimated that the population OF
Russia would reach more than $780,
900 in another fifty years. The only
outlet of the Increased population was
Siberia and other Asiatic territories.
Their prospective competitors were the
yellow races, whose migration into
these maritime provinces at present

were well advised to put heavy restric-
tions on the inflow of yellow peoples.
Koreans as a Menace.
1t was mistake, he argued, that the
law Of exclusion applying to Chinese
should not also include Koreans. The
idea that Koreans would easily assimi-

firmly to their old customs and ways.

The japanese had invested an enpr-

an eye to assuming the highest place
in far eastern politics. he said. and 1t
was natural that the Japanese should
demand an adequate return for the cap
ital invested but he foresaw that their
forward move might mean danger. For
that reason he argued that the reple-
ton of Russian armament in the east
should not be neglected for a moment.
He concluded: TT cannot be too much

WAR EMBARRASSES
SOCIAL AMENITIES
Hostesses See Difficulty in Enter
tanning Diplomats-State Troubles
Of Messenger Eddie"

Many-sided war in Europe is hardly
moro vexatious to the State Depart
ment and other government omciais
than it is perplexing to society most
esses in Washington, and even to the
humble doorman for the Secretary OF
State.
Washington hostesses view with
great perturbation the coming social
season. With Lord Aitcheners sue-
gestion that the war may run Tor at
least eighteen months they clearly see
the winter will furnish hours OF
thoughtful care in SO planning their
functions that the amenities will be
observed and no warworn diplomat or

and kartofrel salad cannot appear on
the dinner menu when NJ. Jusserand or
members of his staff are present. cav
lar and roast beef must not be served
to the Germans.
Safety Dinner Plan.
The suggestion has been advanced
that at fashionable dinners this winter
there will arise an extraordinary pop
ularity for scattered tables-little ia
bles seating Ave or six, with no head
and not foot, a subterfuge to avoid
complications Of precedence.
But while the hostesses are looking
into the future-as one might say,
borrowing trouble'-Eddie Savoy, vet
eran negro messenger to the Secretary
Of State, has his worries all in the
present tense, walking in upon him
daily very much in the flesh. He has
to see that these various diplomatic
representatives of warning nations are
kept automatically apart while in the
neutral zone of the State Department.
So nicely has Eddie guided his
charges through the maze of diplomatic
avoidance that any time he wants to
quit the State Department service he
ought to be able to get employment
as adviser to fashionable Washington
on how to sfde-step diplomatic embar-
easements.
Eddie savoy's Diplomacy.
Eddie is q NATURAL diplomat. For
nearly two-score years he has guarded
the portal of the Secretary of State
and announced the coming of foreign
representatives of high or low degree
1t is Eddie who keeps tab" ON the
rules OF precedence among the Eecre-
tarys visitors. He escorts them to the
anteroom. He awaits the pleasure Of
the Secretary. When all is ready for
the call of state, he ushers the pieni-
potentiary or the charge, or whomso-
ever the visitor may be. into the pres
ence of the head of the foreign office.
Eddie is confronted at this time with
the toughest problem he ever has
tackled The State Department has
only one anteroom worthy the name
With war raging through seven ma
tions of Europe and none of their rep
resentatives in Washington permitted
to recognize even the physical presence
Of the representative of an enemy
state, the difficult but highly impor-
tant duty of keeping them apart has
devolved on Eddie.

BRITISH SUMMARY
OF THE SITUATION

Washington, Aug. 20.-A summary of
the naval and military situation re-
ceived here today at the British en-
bassy from the British foreign office
contains this statement: THE Ger
man fleet outside the Baltic is con-
fined to harhors. English commerce
is almost normal; German sea- borne
commerce is paralyzed.
Regarding the military situation, the
summary says: "The German forces
at present extend from north of Basel
through Liege to a point in Belgium
east of Antwerp and near the Dutch
boundary. The outstanding feature of
operations up to the present has been
the delay caused to the contemplated
German offensive across the Meuse,
Which has permitted orderly mobiliza :
tion and concentration of the French
army and the British eXpeditionary
force. In the south, where the Ger
man armies are on the defensive, the
French are advancing on a long line
occupying a great extent of AlSace-
Lorraine, after several engagements"

THE CAPTURE Of
BRUSSELS
CITY ABANDONED IN ORDER TO
LEAD INVADING GERMANS
INTO ALLIES TRAP.

Paris, Aug. 20.-The fall of Brus-
sells is described in the official state
ment as follows:
In conformity with a prearranged
plan, the Belgian field army retreated
to the entrenched camp Of Antwerp
after brilliantly fulfilling its duty as
dictated by the strategical situation
and delaying for a fortnight the Ger
man passage of the Meuse.
Antwerp has a double role. It is a
formidably entrenched camp, fortified
on most modern lines, and is the base
from which the Belgian army can
threaten the German flank and CO.
operate effectively with the allies.
Antwerp Gibraltar
The Antwerp defenses consist of
three Qualifications whose power of
resistance can be heightened by flood
ing large area around all the works
Antwerp is fully equipped with the
most perfect appliance. To hesiege
the fortress, the Germans would have
to detach imposing forces and large
siege trains. a This they are not likely
to do. If they do not, they will be
obliged to cover themselves agains,
the operations of the Belgian army,
which is intact, thanks to the skilfu
retreat, and augmented by the Ant
werp garrison.
Liege Not Vet Taken
ut is to be added that the Liege
forts still hold out. Those at Namul
have not yet been attacked. They are
as strong as the forts at Liege anG
have been considerably strengthened
in the last two weeks.
'I'rom this it would seem that the
advancing German armies are caught
between the positions of Namur an6
Antwerp, a distance from each Other
of only 35 miles. The German situa-
ton is then a difficult one, since they
lack the chief postulate of a plan O.
