Germany.
BERLIN, Wednesday, Feb. o.
(By Wireless to SayviIIe, Feb. s.
The date Of the departure Of Am
basador Gerard has not yet been
fixed, The German authorities

of German officials in the United
States.
This information is contained
in an announcement made public
today by the Overseas news
Agency which follows:
THE date of the departure Of
the American ambassador has not
yet been fixed. The number OF
persons for, whom passports must

quire some time. Every endeaVor
is BEING made to assure the am
bassador and the personnel OF the
embassy all possible 1actilI'es 'o'
private kilograms.
"While the American residents
accept Loyalty the decision OF
their government, many OF them
reqret the breaking off OF rela-
tions with Germany without provo
cation. A number of Americans,
among whom are seVeral news
paper correspondents, have de,
cided to stay in Germany until
further developments.
"concerning Count Won Bern,
storft's departure from the United
States, up to the present no off,
. ciaI communication has been re-
ceived for several days. All con-
nection with the ambassador is
completely severed and reliance
has to be placed on all sorts OF
news coming from the enemy,
which cannot be examined into as
to its reliability. Nevertheless,
no serious concern is felt regard
inc the safe departure Of German
officials in the United States, it
beino consid ered that the United
States will NOT depart from the
basis of the law of nations, espe-
cialIy that Of the treaty OF 179s.'

At The RepubIIc Tomorrow.

Antonio Moreno, vitagraph's virile
star, finds role particularly adapted
to his type in the Blue Ribbon Fea-
ture starring him with Edith Storey
and William Duncan, "Alladin From
Broadway, +" which is at the Republic
Theater tomorrow. S
Mr.. Moreno is ideally cast as an
American who journeys to Mecca on a
bet that he will be able to get q book
! which is concealed in the crumbling
city's walls and return to New York
without the aid of white man.
OF course, it becomes necessary for
him to disguise himself as native
and, owing to his Spanish blood, he
finds no difficulty in becoming an
Oriental type.
Instinctively he betrays his nation
atty in number of instances and is
forced to flee to another part of the
country. Soon he is without friends
OF funds and rather than lose his bet
by writing home for funds or securing
aid from one of the tourists now in
the city, be becomes beggar and sits
in the streets. asking aims from the
wealthy native merchants passing by.
But finally his luck changes and he
is forced into marriage with beau
tiful girl-a girl whom he has loved
from distance Dressed In fine silks
and satins he appears quite differently
from the beggar and, at the same time
bis actions assume a different tone
now that he has few gems within his
grasp.
Although the title role in this
charming story calls for many daring
feats, Mr.. Moreno did not once refuse
to play his part exactly it was writ
ten and in two instances he entered
into q feat which the director was
willing to cut from the story.
Also 8 comedy.

KEEPER OF THE GREAT SEAL
Lord Chancellor Regarded, In Way,
as One of Most important Men,
bers of British Cabinet.

The lord chancellor is one of the
most important men in the British cab
met, in a way, for it is through him
that the king signifies his consent to
anything signed in his name. The lord
chancellor is, technically, the keeper
of the kings conscience. One of the
most elaborate and dignified looking
purses In the world, belongs to the
chancellor. 1t is the purse In which Is
kept the famous "great SEAL" Made
of the very finest purple velvet, 1t is
heavily embroidered In eolored silks
with the arms of England, the lion
and the unicorn surmounted by the
imperial crown. Below is worked In
silk a Latin motto meaning, "For God
and My Country" The purse used to
be made of scarlet velvet, which was
changed to purple toward the end of
the nineteenth century. Formerly
new one was provided every year, the
old one being a perquisite of the chan
cellor. Many of these deliberately
worked purses are heirlooms in the
families of former chancellorS, The
purse containing the seal is borne in
state before his lordship as he walks
toward his seat, the woolsack, in the
house of lords.

IS THIS "YoUNG MANS AGE7"
Golden Period of Achievement Comes
When Man Is Well Past Forty
Years Of Age, II Is Claimed.

'Our times are frequently called the
age of the young men. But when one
Hooks back to the revolutionary era Of
our country, from 1TT5 to 1926, and
considers the striking youthfuIness OF
the leaders of America the appellation
does not appear exactly to fit" said a
New York man In recent interview.
Nor do the men now in their twen-
ties and thirties push the men of the
forties and fifties hard enough TO prove
that this is pre-eminently the young
mans age. Unless men Of forty are
considered young, this scarcely is a
young mans age.
THE youngsters under thirty receive
an undue degree of attention from the
professions and business. A notion
prevails that the latest graduate from
college, technical school or university
is more desirable than the man who
has had postgraduate courses In life's
college of experience. Best sellers.
movies and magazine articles about
business foster the notion. Conse-
quently. a distressingly large number
of men from twenty-five to thirty ex-
pect to be the bosses of big businesses
or corresponding professions or tech
nical vocations by the time they are
thirty-five.
'Many will, If they work hard and
prove to possess capacity, occupy posi-
tons of responsibility. But scarcely
at thirty-five. The golden age of
achievement really comes in most
cases 10 years later. In fact, the pres
ent age is the age of the mature man.
In literature the success today is mot
the man of thirty. Irwin Cobb would
almost universally be considered
success in literature, but Cobb is forty
one and has not reached the fullness
of his power. George AIDE is fifty-one,
Harrington forty-eight, Frank Cobb,
chief writer of editorial, forty-eight.
The success achieved through develop
ment of talent, hard work and sacri-
fee is reserved for the mature"

London,s Guild Hall.

Guild hall, where the lord mayor of
London is elected each year, sees many
representatives of the old craft guilds
at the banquet which celebrates these
occasions. Formerly the various guild
officers met in the counsel hall Of this
historic edifice to decide important mu-
nicipal questions. Now the vote of the
guildmaster counts only as much as any
other Londoner, yet the influence of the
livery company Is Of no mean impor-
lance to the Englishman who is run
ming for lord mayor. Unfortunately,
the individual guild houses of London
are so scattered that they do not make
the show that they would if grouped
together as in Brussels. In that city
the halls of this ancient order of work

sights of the city. With other build
ings of prominence they form the finest

REDUCING the Chin.

One was on her way to the beauty
doctor to have her wrinkles ironed out
and she didn't make any bones about
1T. The other had passed the making
over stage, but she didn't realize 1t.
They never do. They met on an ele-
waited train in New York. AS soon
as the ancient one learned of the 9TH
er's mission, she was anxious to talk
about the art of being done over. 'If
only my chin wasn't quite so long,"
she said. "What do you think? /
think have a classic face, but / am
not sure. / mean, / think i would
have classic face If / didn't have this
chin. / know a beauty doctor. Do
you think / should go to him? They
say he is very clever. No, he doesn't
hurt you. He just pushes your jaw
back a little and chops a little off.
OF course, you have to have your face
done up in bandages for a couple Of
weeks. But outside Of that there Is
no danger. Don't you think / won't.
Oh, you get off here? Well, good-by."

Cork Home for Silent Monks.

A striking curiosity near Cintra,
Portugal, says writer in the Wide
World, is an ancient convent built par
tally in the interior Of an immense
rock. The convent is situated In a
very isolated spot and was formerly
surrounded by a dense wood of cork
trees. The convent Is known as the
Convento da Cortica, or "Cork Con-
vent" for the reason that the monks
cells. chapel, kitchen and refectory are
all lined with cork to keep out the
damp. From 1860 to 1884 the convent
was inhabited by an order of monks
known as the Capuchins, remark
able feature Of their religion being
that, except on certain occasions, ST.
lence was obligatory.

Indla,a Wheat crop.

Advices from India indicate that
there are 33,040.O00 acres under wheat
cultivation In that country, compared
with 30,143.0O0 acres last year, or an
increase of about 10 per cent. The
total yield is estimated at 100000
tons for this year, as against 8.51S,000
tons reported at this time for last year,
"a gain of practically 10 per cent.
These figures are based on the final re-
ports on the wheat crop received from
local authorities and relate to 9S.5 per
cent of the total wheat area in India.
The figures covering both area and
yield are the highest on record.
