closing Of his first term, We're an

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, minister to

was explained, has been concerned
over his health and desired to return

to SIAM also were announced. Mr..
Thomas, was appointed to his post,
his first in the diplomatic service, in

and he is a ranchman, planter ana
lawyer. Mr. Hornibroook was ap-
pointed in 1915. He lives in Albany

Some time ago it became known
that the government was expecting
that members of the diplomatic corps
would. in accordance with custom for

he took office for the term following

Chicago, Dec. 4.-EXperienoes in
the workings Of the new federal farm
loan act were related here tonight
at the opening session Of the fourth
national conference on marketing and
farm credits by William r. Camp. Mr.
Camp is superintendent Of credit un-
ions and rural organizations, division
of markets, North Carolina agricuI-
tural experiment station and eXtcn-
sion service. He said in part
'"rhc organization Of national farm
loan associations authorized by the
federal farm loan act has been rela-
lively much faster than that of credit
unions, AS soon as the federal law
was passed we published an article on
its advantages. Blanks were sent out
so that individuals might apply for
loans without waiting for the forma-
tion of local associations These may
be grouped later in large or small To-
cal organizations.
"As a result OF this educational
campaign in North Carolina by No
vember "A, there were 81 national
farm loan associations, applying for
S2445T25 in loans, and individual ap-
plications ahd been made for $G99, 32o

He has apartments in fashionable

to live again at the palace in Mexico
City and in the castle at Chapultepec.
But all is on the knees OF the gods.
Gen. Diaz is a typical Mexican in ap-

personality that so distinguished his IA

Escape of Lincoln, the Spy.
The escape of Ignatius r. T. Lincoln,
who styles himself IAN international
spy" from United States deputy mar
shall a week or SO ago has created a
great deal of newspaper comment It
strikes me as a good deal of a temptest

ever his real name may be. is a loud

Philo Gubb. the correspondence school
detective, Is regular Sherlock Holmes
compared to him.
About year ago, l had the misfor-
tune to buy his first articles on The
Revelations of an International Spy"
and I was stung. They were palpable
fakes, and he did not even know any
thing about the localities where he pre-
tended to have done his spying. He
spent his time talking and writing about
what dangerous man he was. Just
looking for trouble. The English gov
eminent, which since the war has been
shaking with spy ague, heard about him
and asked for his extradition. That's
just what he wanted. Notoriety He
knew he was perfectly safe. He had done
nothing and SO they could prove nothing
