u. S. Clearing
House For World

The United States comes pretty
near being the clearing house of the
world. Washington today is more
nearly the real capital of the world
than any city ever was before.
Out of the remotest parts of the
globe American diplomatic officers
are doing the neighborly job of
looking after the interests of the
belligerent countries in the capi-
tails and commercial countries.
When two nations go to war they
cease speaking as they pass by.
Each withdraws all it's diplomatic
representation from the other.
But of course there is lot of
hangover business, and there are
new matters constantly arising,
that make communication necessary
This must, according to the eti-
quette of war and diplomacy, be
carried on through the diplomatic
agencies Of some mutual friend,
some neutral power.
The United States is the one re-
naming first-class mutual friend
in the whole family of nations. We
are still everybody's friend, so
everybody tells their troubles to
our diplomats.
When the French ambassador
left Berlin he turned over the ar
chives and business of his Office to
Judge Gerard, American ambassa-
dor, and the French Government
authorized Judge Gerard to attend
as its agent, to necessary matters.
The Britishers did the same thing,
and so did the japanese and the
Russians. It's about the same way
at the other capitals.
Germany was for time so CON-
pletely isolated from the world
that the japanese declaration of
war on Germany could not be made
directly: it had to be notified to
Germany through our State De-
partment. In substance the jap
anese ambassador in Washington
said to Secretary Bryan:
"WiH you kindly notify the most
honorable German Government, IN

behalf of the humble japanese
Government, that the utterly an-
worthy japanese Government deep
ly regrets the necessity to lick the
tar out of the eralted and ennobled
German Government, and shall
forth,Vith proceed to the operation.
Secretary Bryan conveyed the
message, adding some regrets on
his own account.

deferred many from investing in any
kind of securities. is expected to be
stopped by Names Blue Sky law
which was passed by the legislature

Maine Game Shipments


Total game shipments over the Ban

1913 amounted to 2633 deer. So moose
and 10 bear. The table showing the
receipts for each of the three months
of the season has just been compiled
by the passenger department of the

the b. & A this year shows a falling
off over last season. The total for 1912
was 1898 deer. 81 moose and Sc bear.
enger traffic manager of the railroad,
one of the chief causes of the falling
off in the receipts has been the fact
that there have been fewer out-of-the
State hunters this season on account
of the increased license fee. The
table as prepared in the passenger de-
partment gives the receipts for each
station for each month of the season
and the totals. On account of the
lack of space only the totals are given
here. 1t is interesting TO note the
comparison of total receipts for each
month of the two seasons, this year
and last which are as follows: 1913,
