understanding of the possibilities Of
the roles and a cleverness Of portrayal
that make the character studies not

The spirited Jerry visits her Aunt
Joan. who has been engaged for twenty
years. The young miss makes up her
mind that her aunt and Monty Wade do
not really love each other, but that
she and Monty can do real justice to
''the divine passion" so she proceeds
to break up the extended betrothal, re-
engage her aunt to another old lover
Peter Flagg. and appropriate Monty

series of escapades she brings about a
reconciliation to her scheme in bed

show that all of Jerry's plots had
worked out happily two years later.

Secret Diplomacy and State Department
BY Justin NIcGrath.

WASHINGTON, May Il. - When
the great war in Europe broke out
and the nations involved had issued
their white. yellow. orange. gray and
red papers for the purpose Of shift
ing responsibility, there was just one
important point upon which there
was no dispute
That was that secret diplomacy had
failed. and failed miserably. In Eu-
rope, naturally, there was irrecOn-
cilaOle difference Of opinion as 10 the
degree OF responsibility chargeable
against the different groups of states
men and diplomats who conducted
the anti bellum negotiations. And
the controversy has been carried on
in the United States among that part
of our population still preserving Eu-
rOpean attachment.
But so far as the great body of the
American people is concerned their
condemnation Of European diplomacy
was general rather than particular.
The prevailing opinion In this
country undoubtedly was that If the
European nations had dealt with
each other more frankly and had per-
mitted their negotiations to dry un-
der the sun OF public opinion the
necessary ironing out could have
been accomplished.
The American brand OF diplomacy
"Shirtsleeve diplomacy" as IT has
been dubbed in ridicule by European
iplomats-had been indicated.
Plain language was in high favor.
Candor was placed above courtesy.
Sincerity was considered more to be
desired than regard for sensi bilities.
And secrecy was forsworn. Never
again was diplomacy menacing the
lives of men to be carried on in the
dark.
That was the general drift of
worldwide opinion. That was the les
son which the war was writing large
in letters Of red for the future guild
ance OF all having the responsibility
of government.
1t is. indeed, singular and remark
able, therefore, even If not ominous,
that at the very time when secret
diplomacy had fallen so much in dis
favor in the courts of Europe, where
it was originated and developed, II
should gain favor in the United
States. where heretofore it had been
little practiced.
In the administration of domestic
affairs the present administration was

To BE DIPLOMATS
Perry Belmont Points Out the
Weakness of ReWarding PO-
IitiCaI Leaders With Big Of
fiCeS Abroad.

WASHINGTON. May 14.-The need
OF specially trained men ia the dip
iomafic service of the United states
and the disadvantage OF the system
Of reWarding politiceI leaders with
government Offices abroad were en-
phasized today by Perry Belmont.
president OF the National Publicity
organization.
Tho United States was the pioneer

tions ne said. England is now con-
templating following our example.
The house OF lords has adopted
resolution that contribution 10
party funds should not DE a consider
alton 20 q minister when recommend
ing a name for an honor to the
King. Hnare Belloc and other
prOminent mon are urging further
publicity and would like TO wipe out
Tho scandal OF granting places in the
pecrage to liberal political contrib
utors
IF a successful political party is
handicapped by the ineXperience of
power. the interests of the country
clearly demand that it should con-
time in its service OF national de
fcnse those who have proved them
selves qualified" said Mr.. Belmont.
THE stuatiOr is now too serious to
obstructed by falls views. The pres
ent war in Europe has thrust upon
our diplomatic and consular officers
new duties, in which they have been
assisted By officers of the United
States army by the United states
battleships and By the voluntary CO.
operation Of American citizens.
"a defense OF present conditions
was recently made by an important
official Of the state department. He
said. when IL comes TO the principal
posts abroad. / am strongly opposed
to tying the hands OF the president
The answer IS. that the constitutional
powers Of the president cannot be re-
stricted. The executive has full pow
or 90 appoint special diplomatic
agents and ambassadors.
CONTINUITY policy is as essential as
continuity of service. If. as a matter
of course, the change OF party con-
troll necessarily means a complete re-
versaI of our policy in our relation
with all other governments. endless
confusion inevitably follows.
The tact that this seemed TO have
been the guiding theory made it pos
sfbIe for the recommendation of our
last ambassador TO Mexico 10 prevail,
which otherwise would have been
conclusive upon our government
when he in conjunction with the dip
lomatic corps IN the City of Mexico,
was Of the opinion that the existing
Irotisional government and president
of Mexico should be recognized. In
reaching such a conclusion, we are
not unmindful of the great difficult

lOmacy is being enveloped is not oc-
casioning any alarm. although there
is some apprehension that later. when
the veil is Withdrawn, there may De
little cause for pride.
But unquestionably the oft-repeut-
ed promise OF Pres't Wilson 20 take
the people into his confidence and
seek the help and guidance of public
opinion is not being fulfilled with re-
spect 10 grave and momentous issues
between the United States and other
nations.
In accepting the democratic nomi-
ration for president GOV. Wilson said
that the people of the United States
have interests which no man can
privately determine without their
knowledge and consent"
He has reiterated his trust in the
wisdom of the people in nearly every
speech he has made since he has
been president.
But in matters Of diplomacy the
practice OF his administration has not
cOnformed TO his preaching.
On the contrary there probably
never has been a time when Amer
lean diplomacy has been conducted
less demOcratically. And If European
experience counts for anything, there
never has been a time when the wis
dom OF conducting our diplomacy
openly and above board was more
clearly and cOnvincingly manifest.
