j. 5. DIPLOMATIC
CODE NOT SECRET

Berlin, via Amsterdam, Jan. 81
Practically every belligerent in Eu-
rope knows the supposedly secret
diplomatic codes of the United States
government, 1t was learned today.
Colonel House, President Wilson's
personal envoy, will ask the state de-
partment to change its cipher.
No diplomatic agent of the United
States in Europe can now send a mes
sage in code to Washington with the
certainty that Europe will not know
its contents.
While European nations can not
examine all messages. they can, and
have, gained information when they
knew in advance that they were to
be transmitted.
Ambassador Penfield of Vienna was
recently involved in such an incident.
He telegraphed to Berne that he was
about to send dispatch; then he
telegraphed II in code by the usual
route via Berne and Paris. Four
days later the American minister at
Berne, Switzerland, wired that the
dispatch had not arrived. Penfield
forwarded another version, which ar
rived before the original. The orr
ginal was mysteriously delayed
There are three codes used by
American ambassadors; these are
said to be from five to seven years
old, though usually codes are changed
every two years to keep them from
falling into the hands Of spies.
European agents are said to under
stand well the United States green"
code, supposed to be the most secret
OF all, while the navy code is equally
we'll known.
Foreign agents could gain knowl-
edge OF the code, for instance, by the
fact that the state department at
Washington gave out a translation OF
an Austrian message, translated lit
orally from the code. Any belliger-
ent who saw this translation and then
saw the code message as 1t passed
through the hands Of cable officials
on its way to Washington would have
little difficulty in working out the
system.

REACHING OUT FOR TRADE.

REACHING OUT FOR TRADE.
That the United States is due to
come into its own In a business way is
Indicated by the expressions heard at
the National Foreign Trade conven-
ton, now in session In New Orleans.
Leaders Of the American business Life
are participating in the convention.
and the business men of the nation
are counseled to go out after trade in
the four corners Of the earth where
other nations had previously ruled
supreme. Particularly did the speak
ers emphasize the Importance OF gain
ing fresh trade with South America,
holding that commercial prepared
ness is vital, throbbing need OF the
United States:
Foreign investment is CONNER
cial preparedness measure, a source
Of protection for the whole industrial
fabric Of our country, should the
world recede to political-eommercial
policies of trade restriction" said
President Farrell, in sounding the
keynote Of the gathering. TT is an
element of strength in our influence
as a nation should wiser instinct
realize that the true guarantee OF the
worlds peace is the provision of equal
opportunity for ALL
He declared foreign investment of
American capital necessary to meet
the keener competition expected in
world trade after the war.
The argument that an impover-
ished Europe will require all that 1t
can save or borrow for domestic re-
Mobilization overlooks the fact that
Europe's foreign investments safe
guard the prosperity Of her indus
tries A loan which brings from
abroad liberal interest return, while
insuring employment for large pro-
portion of the industrial population,
is a doubly valuable domestic asset.
In this connection the fact may be
noted that British manufactures are
still being exported at the rate Of
$3.50, 900, 900 month. We certainly
never were in so good a position to
take advantage of the opportunities
which the world has to offer. Since
the war began American exports have
exceeded imports by $1,S64,612,5S1.
It is estimated that 81, 500 900, 900
worth Of American securities have
been re-purchased, with correspond
ing saving on the annual interest
charge We have been accustomed to
remit abroad. This achievement, to-
gether with the rapidly growing gold
balance, increased use OF dollar ex-
change, successful negotiations Of
loans which have helped to readjust
sterling exchange and finance muni-
tion orders, not to mention loans to
Argentine and the Canadian provin-
cial governments, have afforded some
justification for the idea that the
United States is in process Of replac-
ing Great Britain as the worlds
banker"

LEATHER SHOULD BE "FED"
Librarian Of Congress Tells How the
Bindings Of Books May Be
Preserved.

An official of the Library of Con
gress was talking with friend who
had recently purchased Il handsome
set OF leatber-bound volumes.
"You hnd," said the expert, better
examine those books carefully to see
whether the leather needs feeding. II
it is new stock they will be all right
II left alone for several years, but II
they have been on the shelves fuJ
some time, the leather will have lost
most Of its natural oil and become
brittle. This applies especially to
books kept in private houses, which
are, as rule, much better than the
hook-stacks in large libraries. There
is nothing more attractive than Il
fresh. well-preserved leather binding
on volume, and scarcely anything
less so than dilapidnted cracked
one.
you can add years to the life Of Il
leather binding and 100 per cent to
its appearance by rubbing little
vnseline with Il piece Of raw COTTON
not too puch-lu-r as much "a, the
leather will thor, Ehly absorb Where
the binding bends Is where n is most
likely To crack. The leather will not
be greasy, as the vuseline will be alb
sorbed. one treatnent every year or
TWO is sufficient, unless the books are
unduly exposed to heat"

Trees and Faces.

You can tell a good many interest
Ing things about a tree just by looking
mt it. Sometimes II leans far over in
one direction because "a careless foot
trod upon 1t long ago. Sometimes MI
the branches point on" way. and this
tells us what sort Of winds It had To
face when II was n saplIng. People
who know about trees can tell almost
the whole history Of one hy looking
II over.
But trees are not the only things
whose life story is written upon them
where everyone can rnud II. Every
day your thoughts and your acts are
writing record on your faces The
boy who is overbearing, and the girl
who is peevish and fretful may try to
hide these faults from those outside
their homes but II cannot be done.
Little lines are coming about the eyes
and lips which tell the whole story as
plainly ms words could do II. Be care

your face Is Of thoughts and scts that

BY SAM CRANE.

NJ view here here john OBJ H Far 1a i" seer
- rotary and chairman Of the Ma
tional Association OF Professional Base
ball clubs. the governing minor league
body. said that the principal effect of
the recently concluded baseball peace
would be the renewed prosperity Of
the small organizations. They would
benefit more than the major leagues in
his opinion.
1.-THE Federal league campaign" said
Mr.. Farrell. had little effect upon the
major leagues, save indirectly II did
not cut appreciably into the attendance
OF the National and American leagues.
But it forced operating expenses, prin-
cipally through salary conditions, to a
point where it was felt sadly.
The minor leagues, on the other
hand. were hit hard. They were the
principal prey of the outlaws. More
than 60 percent OF the recruits for the
Independents were taken from minor
league clubs. This deprived the de-
pendents Of the major leagues OF one
Of their chief sources of revenue. The
inroads OF the outlaws on minor chat
tells Knocked the bottom out Of the
market Major league clubs were
afraid to purchase minor stars at for
mer prices for fear their purchases
might jump to Gilmores ring.
How Contracts SIumped.
In 1918. my office handled approx
mately 1900 minor league contracts,
In 1914 the number dropped below 5000,
and last year II again dropped below
5000. In those two seasons nearly half
Of the little leagues under protection
were forced to disband
Many of these, however, will be
lined Up again this season. I think by
the end Of next year organized base
ball will have a greater membership
than ever before. A wave of PROSPERITY
has hit our republic. Money is freer
now that any other time within 10
years.
Strong Trend Toward Economy.
There are unlimited numbers Of
good players out Of employment I mean,
good minor league players. Scarcely
more than one-half OF the number en-
ployed in 1918 were living at their pro-
fession last season, have pointed out
Not so many would now be required TO
operate the same number OF minor
leagues that prevailed in 1913, for down
the line from the minors roster limits
have been greatly modified Even the
class A. A minor leagues have decided
upon methods Of sane economy. The In
tsrnatiOnal league, most reactionary Of
