make public the names of the mid

having offered a bribe to a civilian
employee of the Academy for advance

authority today
The other Pan American republics,
Cuba included win not be overlooked, it
was stated, hut for the initial negotia-
tions. the three ambassadors, as the
highest diplomatic officials of the Pan
American group, and the three ranking
ministers we're chosen to clear away all
obstacles they consider likely to inter
fere with the execution of the plan on
which it was understood a tentative
agreement was reached at various infor
NAL chats between Secretary Lansing
and the Southern plenipotentiaries in
the recent past.
The Washington administration mas
realized all along. officials admitted, that
an arms embargo would be Ineffective if
American supplies could be trans shipped
from Cuba, Central and South America
into Mexico The republics with whose
representatives Secretary Lansing has
talked were understood to be in such
hearty accord with the American pro-
gram that no trouble was expected in
putting it through.
Unless General Carranza should meet
with some unexpected and serious re-
verse, it was considered a foregone con
clusion that recognition would be
accorded to him. Lansing denied. indeed
that President Wilson had written ia
him definitely of his intention to accord
recognition within two weeks. it was
generally understood this was substan.

TUMULTY SENDS OUT
message every DAY
Advises President Wilson
Regarding Conditions
at Washington

WASHINGTON. Aug. S-While !
President Wilson is on vacation there |
is one daily message which comes
through from Washington. 1t is
signed BY Secretary Joseph P. Tum-
ulty, and it reads
"All is quiet at the White House
This telegram clicks over the wires
early in the afternoon and only in
the event of developments impera-
lively requiring the attention of the
President is it varied The White
House stan has instructions not to
disturb the President with official
business If it can be avoided. Hence,
it often happens that the Presidents
first hint of important news is
brought to him by the correspondents
who are with him on his vacation
trip
Although the President calls UP
Secretary of State Lansing en- the
telephone now and then just to reas-
sure himself that nothing of import
ance is being withheld from him. he
makes this communication as infre-
quent as possible. He believes in real
vacations when he takes any. The
pure. rich mountain air calls to him
for golf, motoring, woodcraft, and he
tries to get as far away from the
White House routine as possible. It
is true that in the very nature of
things he is compelled to spend an
hour or two at work every day, for
the President of the United States is
never entirely free and on his own
resources, no matter how far away
from the center of things he gets.
Curious enough, scores of "cranks"
and admirers take advantage of the
Presidents absence from Washington
to write letters to him. believing they
can thus reach him personally.
whereas. in Washington they are sure
their letters never get beyond the
STAFF which handles his correspond
ence. The President sends all Of
their communications, as soon as he
! is assured of their tenor. to Washing
ton to be answered through his regu-
lar channels. On some days the regu-
lar mail in Windsor. VT. is doubled
! by these folks who desire a personal
correspondence with tthe President.
Both Presidents Roosevelt and
Taft, when on vacation. maintained a
large staff for the transaction of Of
fetal business, and created a genuine
Summer White House" President
Wilson, however. has only his stenog-
rapher. Charles Sven. along with
him. in addition to his physician, DR..
Cary c. Grayson. Mr.. Sven is the
intermediary through whom all the
Presidents correspondence is trans
acted and all communication with
Washington is maintained. DR.. Gray
son handles the duties which ordin-
arily falls upon the Presidents secre-
tary, and sees the many callers who
desire a personal interview with the
chief executive.
True simplicity, plain living and
high thinking" and real vocation
freedom is attained when President
Wilson is in the Green Mountains
The average business man on vaca,
ton rarely is as resolute in turninl
his mind away from work as is the
present head of the nation.

surprising the entire world dates only
from the Balkan wars and is entire

Paradoxical as it may seem the dis

proved for the Turks their greatest
source of strength. Probably to them
alone they owe their greatest source
of strength. Probably to them alone
they owe their present salvation.
Until the Balkan wars It had
been necessary at all times to keep

Albania because of the menace of
