anv point put to him if it is not obvious.
In addition to remembering this national
point Of view. the American who would &C
compsh anything in Russia must have ever
in mind the important business OF bestowing
TIPS. There is a certain British general whose
experience illustrates how much it is OF Gus
tom. He came to Petrograd from the King
of England 10 deliver a shawl which George
wished to present to the Empress. II seems
that the King now uses the parcel post along
with the rest OF US except when sending to
Russia Wishing to increase the very slender
chances for his package to arrive he employs
a special messenger to the land OF the Gar
Since the commission was of such very great
dignity the general, against his wish, went IN
person to deliver the present at the Winter
Palace After explaining his errand at every
entrance he finally had the package taken from
him a. the kitchen door. A Aunkey with
white beard carried it upstairs and presently
returned 70 give him tip OF rouble. In

LOST. A POSSIBLE COUNT.
The chairman of his company in Pittsburgh
had three years ago taken fancy to an Aus
trian who breezed into his Office on his way
back to Europe from Japan, and he engaged
the foreigner. Allowing him generous e%-

hand way, Eyes, 60 over to Russia and open
a branch and get US little business| During
the years following he frequently said TO peo-
pie: "We've got fine representative IN Rus-
STA; speaks five languages and belongs to an
old Austrian family. He will some day have
the title of count in his own right"
When the war broke out the Austrian was

in London to the Russian Office. This Is what
he found The police! They we're towering
over an tffice full Of cowed Poles and Russians,
and the officials were saying: This is the
business OF an Austrian, not OF an American,
and we confiscate it for the government"
The young American demanded full explans-
tons. He found that foreign corporation
cannot operate in the Slavic country unless it
Is organized as d Russian company. Other
wise the business must run under the name OF
an individual. The first move OF the Austrian
OF noble house, who commanded FIVE Ian
guagcs, had been to step down to the govern
ment Office and obtain license to conduct the
Office in his own name. He did not mention
the fact to his employers, with the result that
for three years some OF the astutest business
men OF America were unaware that one OF
their most important branch Offices was no,
the property OF the corporation, but OF an Aus
trian count.
The keen American boy acted quickly. He
said: Why this business did belong to the
Austrian, but he had sold it Just before he

The President OF the United States-not Mr.
Wilson at all in partcular-possesses de-
gree of authority which, al any rate, in the
estimation of so close student OF politics as
the editor of The North American Review,
discountenances the legitimacy OF any national
profession Of democracy. What We have been
pleased so long to consider autonomous 10
autocracy appears, after all, to be the very
essence OF autocracy In short it must appear
we are about to take our place among the ma
tons OF the world as the supreme retutaton
of that which had hitherto been so cherished
the right Of representative government
What Colonel Harvey points out is simply
that our Chief Executive has more power than
is good both for him and for the country III;
British sovereign is hgurehead. The french
President stands as chief Of an advisory body
The German Kaiser only cast his vote
along with others. But the President OF the
United States is despot
ENGLISH SYSTEM BEST
The remedy? Yes; Colonel Harvey has a
remedy in mind though he grew reucent as
the subject was pressed
Il think we must adopt the English sys-
tenn" he replied.
The system which cOordinates Cabinet and
Parliament and which reduces the King to
position Of only nominal power?
Colonel Harvey signiied that this was the
idea. though. when asked 10 elaborate. to eX-
pand both the allegation that ours is not
representative government and the suggestion
that. by way OF setting ourselves rsht' we
ought to borrow from our English cousins, ne

The contemporary industrial phases in Eng

they remain essentially as they have been de-
scribed by other travellers whose privilege 1T
has been TO examine the situation closely.

Pcace2 Colonel Harvey shook his head en-
phatically No talk of it? Not bit. And, iur-
thcr:
1T is very greatly to be hoped peace will
not come to Europe now. The time for peace
is not ripe. Nothing has as yet been decided
Germany cannot understand why the Allies
beaten. and the Allies maintain that they have
only now really begun to fight. Nothing has
been determined, nothing yet gained. The real
function of this world-war is to destroy autoc

The people never want war, and they will not
have i. once theirs is the power TO prevent it.
When questioned about Englands financial
standing, and particularly whether it was like
ly England would attempt to float another loan
in this country, Colonel Harvey spoke OF the

The maximum estimate of American securi-

that amount really held. A good many securi-
ties have been taken back into the United

slight effect OF drollness that Mr.. Roosevelt
has about as much influence in Republican
ranks as has Mr.. Bryan in the Democratic"
Then you would put Roosevelt and Bryan

The question was put because. earlier in the

WHEN II came time to decide whether
w 100000 900 people should or should
not be plunged into war President
Wilson went out for a walk. He shliuiiy
eluded all bodyguard and strolled abroad alone
deliciously alone-signihcantly alone.
The President strolled to think. There was
4 great deal to think about There was great
decision 70 be reached While out taking the
air this single mind must determine whether
or not the Republic should shoulder arms and
march out into the terrific European melee.
One mind at work and the judgment OF one
man to shape the destiny of whole nation!
DO you realize demanded Colonel George
Harvey Just back from London, that there is
not on the whole face of the earth another
ruler with 50 despotic power?
The colonel had been commenting, in his
quietly satirical fashion, upon this celebrated
walk abroad, this informal, solitary taking OF
the air He even walked about little himself.

which framed for him the Presidential indu-
