INSTRUCTS AMBASSADORS.
Secretary Bryan Tells Diplomats
Abroad How to Conduct Affairs.

9eoretary Bryan Tells Diplomats
Abroad How to Conduct Affairs.
Washington Bryan issued
instructions to diplomatic and consular
officers of the United States who have
been intrusted with the interests of
the nations now at war.
Few realize the delicate position of
this Office the duties suddenly thrust
upon them and the consequent amount
of labor they are compelled to per-
form.
United States diplomatic and consul
ar officers are serving the interests Of
Germany, France, Belgium, Russia.
Great Britain. Austria and Japan.
In the instructions sent out by Sec
retary Bryan the American represent
atives are cautioned to not overstep the
straight line of their duties for fear 1t
would make the neutrality of the Unit
ed States appear partial The instruc-
tons said, in part: Bear in mind the
general usages of nations in relation
to the functions exercised by you on
all such occasions"
Further, the instructions added. ''The
care and protection of the interests of
the nations for whom you are acting
are based upon the consent of both for
eign governments concerned. This
consent may be withdrawn at any time
by either or both" q.
Another instruction. Bear in mind
you are the representative of a neu-
trail power whose attitude toward the
parties to the conflict is one of i'm
partial amity."
An explanation by state department
officials of the instructions showed that
in the main, the attitude of the repre-
sentatives of the United States acting
for the belligerents is that of a vehicle
of communication; also to protect the
property and natives of the nations for
whom they are acting.
In this connection the instructions
state that before seeking recourse ia
the raising of the American flag over
the embassy, legation or consulate OF
| the nations for whom they are acting
as a means of protecting them strong
representations should be made to the
government In whose territory the
property may be located and that ne
cessity may be avoided.

TO CELEBRATE
CARTIER CENTENARY

Montreal, Que, Sept. Canada Is
preparing to celebrate during the,
coming week the centennial of the
birth Of Sir George Etienne Cartier,
the famous Canadian statesman and
one of the Fathers of the Confedera-
ton" The centenary is to be OBJ
served in Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa
and other cities, though in most cases
the elaborate programmes originally
planned will Of necessity be curtailed
ON account of the European war. In
this city the big feature of the cele-
bration was to have been the unveil-
ing of the Cartier monument, but this
plan has been rendered impossible of
fulfillment because the monument has
been held up in Antwerp by the war.
Other features of the programmed
however, will be carried out az
planned. The celebrations are to be
held under the patronage of His Royal
Highness, the Duke of Connaught.

HOW THE JAPANESE FISH.
%%%%++++@AA&4+A%AAA

w
Joe Mitchell Chapple. In the National 4
! Magazine.
In tho mable roam OF the Senate, q
Japanese visitor was waiting to see a
senator. The situation impressed one
q little because or the war1fke condi-
tons set forth 30 forcibly by the yell
low newspapers. The little man seemed
placid enough as his eyes wandered up
and down the pagas Of q Japanese mag
much like the light and fiimy old
time paper napkin. He explained that
he was reading an interesting account
OF whale fishing rs carried ON in
h Pacific. which showed that the mo-
nopoty heretofore held by oUr New
England towns Of New Bedford and
New London has been taken over by
dreams OF n day becoming masters
OF the Pacific.
On the ruins OF the American enter
prtses that largely led to her introduce
ton into the family OF nations. Japan
has built UP q great whale fishery. The
American consul at Hakodata, Japan,
recently made reports ON this interest
ing subject, tracing the industry from
the year 1929, when the American
Joseph Allen, and an English ship in
charge of Captain Coffin, OF Nan
tucket, visited japanese waters and in
three short months ALLIED up" and
sailed for home. These waters, Of
course, soon became q favorite whaling
ground, and in 1850, out OF 643
whRlers sailing under the American
nag, fully 100 cruised In or crossed the
Japanese grounds. In fact the i'm
portance of this American fishery, the
o~ccasional loss of whalers on the Jap
anese coast, ana the inhumane treat
ment shown to B~hipwrecked crews, were
among b principal reasons for the
dispatch OF the Perry expedition, which
made the FIRST American treaty with
Japan The American whaling inter-
est has gradually declined until 1908 one
solitary whaler new the Stara and
Stripes on the coast Of Japan. |
Altar Japan was opened to the
world, q few Japanese took up the
business. at firSt with crude and In
adequate apparatus and vessels. The
Japanese government In 1884 and 1896
sent selected men to Sam Francisco and
New Bedford, where they shipped as
common sailors and landsnlen on
American whalers. Their investiga-
lions into the business were painfully
exact and minute, as shown In a book
edited by three OF these agents, who
shipped In q whaler cruising on the At
lantic grounds. This book chonicled not
