from The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Secretary Lam
sing announced tonight the appoint
ment by the President of Frank l..
Polk, Corporation Counsel of the City
of New York, as counsellor Of the De-
partment of State. Mr.. Polk has ac-
copied the Office, and will enter on his
duties at once.
Mr.. Folks appointment, il is under
stood, was decided upon at the instance
of Secretary Lansing, who regards Mr..
Polk as a singularly able lawyer. Mr..
Lansing desired TO secure the services
of a trained legal mind more than of
an expert international jurist.
Since the resignation of Chandler An
derson, special adviser to the depart
ment, practically all of the intricate
work connected with the international
situation has been performed by the
Secretary personally. With both the
German and English controversies be-
coming acute, Mr.. Lansing keenly felt
the need of an assistant of high legal
attachments with whom to discuss the
legal aspect of the problems facing the
department. Mr.. Polk takes the posi-
ton left vacant by Mr.. Lansing when
he was appointed Secretary.
May Be Acting Secretary.
There is a strong probability that
the new counsellor will become Acting
Secretary of State within a month.
Secretary Lansing has had no vacation
this summer, and if the international
situation permits him to leave his post
for a few weeks he plans to do so dur
ing the month of September.
While John Bassett Moore was coun-
sellor he acted for the Secretary dur
ing the latter's absence from Washing
ton. The rule continued while Mr..

are hollow mockeries.
"The responsibility for the condi-
tons which have been described above,
we declare, rests primarily upon the
workers, who, blind to their collective
strength and oftentimes deaf 20 the
cries of their followers, have suffered
exploitation and the invasion Of their
most sacred rights without resistance.
A large measure Of responsibility must,
however, attach to the great mass of
citizens. But until the workers them
selves realize their responsibility and
utilize to the full their collective
power, no action, whether govern
mental or atruistic. can work any
genuine and lasting improvement.

pardless Of politics or economic condi-

laborer may secure the whole product
of his labor"

Allentown, Penn, Aug. 2S.-Lieuten-

garian aviator, was critically injured
here to-day while demonstrating the
possibility of the aeroplane in war

Lansing held the post. Diplomatic call
ers were referred 10 the counsellor, and
when matters of pressing Importance
were pending the counsellor was called
into conference at Cabinet meetings.
While il has not been definitely decid-
ed, it is virtually certain that the rule
will continue in effect after Mr.. Polk
takes office.
Mayor Mitchell will part with the SER
vices Of Frank Lyon Polk as Corpora
ton Counsel and confidential personal
adviser with deep regret. But IL was
inevitable that this young man he is
only forty would be drafted into
the service of the Wilson administra-
ton, his friends say. The President
has for some years admired his cour-
age and ability.
Early in the Wilson administration
the President picked him for Collector
Of the Port, but political exigencies
arose that made IL necessary for the
plan to be abandoned However, accord
ing to those who have been in a posi-
tion 10 know, the President has since
been looking for chance to name him
for a Federal post.
Polk Tammany's Foe.
To his shrewd intuition. sound
judgment and loyal devotion the Nit
chel administration owes more than
will ever be known. lie has been
more than the head Of the Law De-
partment: he has been at the right
hand Of the Mayor in the daily prob
lens Of the city government and no
service was too trivial or too hard for
him to render.
Mr. Folks rise in public life has not
been sudden, although his influence as
a factor in big affairs has increased
rapidly in the last two years. In
1907 he first became a public official
as president of the Municipal Civil
Service Commission. IL was an anti
Tammany appointment, as Mayor
Mcclellan was fighting the organlza-
ton at the time. Since that day Mr.
Pork has been enlisted in the various
anti-Tammany movements.
After experimenting with several
advisers on political conditions here.
President Wilson called in Corporation
Counsel Polk, upon whose advice the
President relied in making his ap-
pointment of internal revenue COL
lectors and other Federal officials in
this and the Long Island district. At
that time Mr.. Polk could have con-
tinued as the active dispenser of pat
ronage in this state, but told the Pres
ident he did not care for the respon-
sibility and believed he should not
take the time for it from his municipal
duties.
Mayor Mitchell will probably take his
time in selecting a successor 10 Mr..
Polk as Corporation Counsel. Acting
Corporation Counsel Louis IL. Hahlo IS

sounds like a rattlesnake. There were
rattlesnakes in the hunting grounds Wis
tied by the Omahans. Charlie Withheld
counted forty rattlers in one coterie. The
Kansas City chief was very wary OF the
snakes. He did not know his new watch
had an alarm attachment. When the
alarm sounded in his watch he believed a
big RATHER was giving its usual warning.

feelings. Withheld suggested that the
snake would surely renew its attack, be

others do the hunting.
