HAS IN HIS KEEPING
: LIVESOF DELEGATES
Stedman Hanks Card Index
Contains Biography in Brief
of Every One.

The history of the Americas great
men arc in the keeping OF Stedman
Hanks, assistant secretary OF the Pan
American Scientific Congress. and
grand custodian of the card index.
with forethought his associates con-
sidor little short of marvellous, Mr.
Hanks has compiled a most extensive
system OF cards on which will be
found most things relating to any dele
gate that can he obtained by consulting
all the WHO'S Who's" OF this hemis-
phcrc.
II II is desired to know where the per-
son inquired Of got his education, what
books he has written, II any. what he
does when at home, how many lang
uagcs he speaks; if he has a wife and
family or expects to have a wife: If he
has sisters, or a brother-in-law who
Is famous-any and everything about
any Of the great men of the Americas
Mr.. Hanks has the data. He has them
worked out in the most careful way.
and so briefly put that on consulting
one of the cards for half a minute a
stranger is qualified to talk to any
one of the delegates like an old family
friend, and TO know just which of the
four languages that are being worked
into proceedings of the congress is the
best to use in conveying the greeting.
In addition to having collected all
this miscellaneous information regard
ing the delegates. Mr.. Hanks is also the
dispenser of social privileges, as he
has charge of the work OF securing for
the delegates the cards of admission
and invitations to all social functions
to be given during the congress. Like
wise he is postmaster of the arts of
the diplomatht as, he is able to sooth
the ruffled feelings of delegates who
have not received alt the invitations
they think they should. and TO straight
en- out any little difficulties that so vast
an undertaking as entertaining a varied
assortment of nationalities in n quartet
OF languages involves
Mr. Hanks can do all this in either OF
the languages or all of them as the oc-
casion requires, maintaining the while
an unruffled demeanor and giving each
of his visitors such individual and per-
sonal attention that each feels he has
received special favor

ANOTHER GREAT SIEGE:
SALONIKI

Saloniki today hears it's streets
and mountain walls echo the tramp
of Anglo French divisions and Ger
man armies, instead of Greek pha-
lanxes, Roman legions, and Turkish
janissaries. Otherwise, Saloniki is
going through an experience so IA
miliar as almost to warrant it, look
ing back two or three thousand
years, in yawning.
Possessing one of the great har-
bors of the eastern Mediterranean,
but always barred from first-class
political significance by the over
weening Importance of CONSTANT
nople, Saloniki has been for many
centuries a commercial city. AL
though it has expanded and modern
lied vastly in the last half century
it was probably a larger and more
important city a thousand years ago
than today.
History somehow manages to de-
wise few novelties; it has been going
on too long, and it's channels fol-
great doings are too we'll marked
When Rome was seeking empire in
the east as Prussia is now, Saloniki
was captured, in the third century
and made dependency of the EN-
pire; before that, it had been fo1
centuries an important part in the
history of old Macedonia, of which il
was and is the metropolis. In the
long, dreary period of Rome's de-
caying power, Saloniki stood as one
of the impregnable outposts of west
ern civilization against the incur
Sions Of the barbarians; and long af.

La idea de que las naciones del
Hemisferio Occidental tienen muchas
cosas en- comun y de que al mismo
tempo hay una linea bien marcada
entire intereses e instituciones Eu-
ropeas, sc arraiga cada dia mas y
mas. Hubo un periodo largo a pesar
de obvias semejanzas ente todos

mismo experimento demOcratico y
que su misma juventud los obligo a
depender de Europa para poder
recibir los medios necesarios a su
desarrollo. Europa fue \el almacen

podia conseguir. -~
Asi fue como Sc desarrollo una de-
pendencia economical en- vez de
political y probablemente cada uno
de los paises Europeos que habia
perdido colonias en- ell Nuevo Mundo,
comprendio al fin que era mucho
mejor apadrinar esos nuevos paises
economicamente que politicamente.
Por consiguiente America Sc en-

GENERAL ELECTION IN ENC.
LAND

The extreme life of a British par
Lament is seven years; the mandate
Of the present parliament will ex-
pire in the early days of the new
year, unless it is extended. Few par
liaments in the country's history
have lived through the seven-year
period; most of them succumb to
political reverses and are retired
long before the statutory period in
order to get the country's verdict on
new issues, or new treatment of old.
A general election under present
circumstances in England would be
an unmitigated misfortune. Several
months ago, realizing this, the Goa
lition government had introduced a
bill to extend the life of the present
parliament eight months, which can
be done. under the British system.
That Measure has passed the COM
mons, but not yet the lords.
Now there is acute division in the
cabinet, not on political or party
lines, but over military matters. The
conscriptionists are insisting, that
there must be strict adherence to the
promise, made some time ago, that
if the Derby plan of recruiting did
not produce the necessary additions
to the army, conscription would be
adopted. Feeling is strong that,
despite optimistic assurances, the
plan has not been entirely success
full. Detailed figures have never
been given.
The danger of a crisis that would
force a general election suddenly
looms large. There is demand for
Lloyd George as national leader. He
is conscriptionist, and suddenly is
become the beau ideal of the ram
pageous imperialists, just as he was
a little while ago their bette noir.
They know he would fight as hard
and effectively for the empire as
ever he fought for his radical ideas.
They are talking a good deal in
England about the precedents set by
American experience in the civil
war. America had to resort to the
draft, form of conscription, when
the war was about half over; so why
not Britain?
If that argument is good as to
conscription, why not the argument
that, as a general election in the
midst of war was a bad thing for
America, it will be bad for England?
There is little doubt that the ener-
gies of the North were distracted
during. the later months of 1868 be-
cause of the impending campaign in
1864. Politics had to be played with
officers, with State legislatures, with
State organizations. Both sides
played it, and it was demoralizing
in the extreme. There have been
commentators willing even to aver
that Gettysburg and Vicksburg
would have been the beginning of a
much quicker end to the struggle if
1T had not been for the enervating
influence of too much politics.
Our British friends might we'll
take this leaf from American ex-
perience, and study it carefully.
They are able to avoid a general
election; America was mot
