A MISTRESS OF DIPLOMACY.
Enter Ambassadors Schwimmer--An
Expert in Gold and Secret Documents.

The new republic of Hungary has Civ
en- reward to feminism and injected
desirable "iazz" into the stagnant art
OF diplomacy by the appointment of
Nine Rosika Schwimmer al ambassador,
or dress, to Switzerland Nine. Sehwim-
mer is mistress Of the high, the middle,
and the low diplomacy; an expert in the
secret and the public, the open and the
shut. From every point of view it Is a
crafty appointment. For one thing, am
bassadors take precedence over minis
tiers. France is the only other nation
which maintains an embassy in Switzer-
land, and surely the French ambassa-
dor would yield, the doyenage of the
diplomatic corps to lady.
Nine. Schwimmer will be an ambassa-
dor of the type beloved by the writer's Of
a certain school of fiction. Diplomacy,
according to these fctioneers, consists
largely of gold and secret documents.
Nine. Schwimmer is an expert on secret
ocuments--instance the famous papers
proving that the warning governments
were only waiting for Henry Ford to
come over and ask them to stop; which
documents, though never displayed, sue
ceeded in Turing an automobile manu-
facturer into angelship and the expendi-
ture of three-quarters of million dol
lars. Few greater diplomatic trfumphs
are recorded in recent history than that
Of the lady whose lecture tour had brok-
EN- down and left her stranded in Detroit,
and who yet used this fortuitous catas-
trophe to put herself at the head Of an
expedition that spent more money fool
ishly than any other of our times.
Sets Fashion in Wireless.
Nine. Schwimmer, on the expedition
preserved the principles Of diplomatic
secrecy with regard to her plans and her
facilities for stopping the war. She sed-
ulously withheld facts from the pub
lie, but carried with her dozen or SO
of private CreeIs who discharged by
wireless every night many thousands of
words on the ambient atmosphere, pre-
senting the news from her official view
point and clogging the channels Of com
munieation ON which disinterested enron
iclers depended. She seems to have set
fashion.
Like good ambassador, good at least
according to the Central European ira
dition, she knew how to foment enthusi-
asm for her cause. VINO can forget the
spontaneous outpouring of citizens of
Copenhagen to sing The Star Spangled
Banner" in Danish as the Ford party
left town--thrifty Danes hired for the
purpose at the price of 1900 crowns?
Ambassadors may have to handle great
sums of money. Mime. Schwimmer al
most obtained 100000 from Mr.. Ford
for woHan's international peace work
Some Of her associates in Holland made
expenditures, relying on this fund for
reimbursement. The golden flood was
damned at the last moment; there was

Cause for Regret.

That the mayor of New York has felt
obliged to ask the army and navy au-
thorities for assistance in preventing
disorder by soldiers and sailors, and
that his police commissioner has felt
obliged to threaten the use Of might
sticks, reyolvers or perhaps machine
guns" to combat it, is cause for regret.
In New York, while the majority of
the people were celebrating the victories
Of allied arms, minority have been eel
ebrating the accomplishments of Rus
sian and German revolutions. They
have met and paraded under the red flag
and have proclaimed that flag their own.
theoretically the red flag is the sym
Dol Of international brotherhood. Prac-
tically it is the symbol of class revohi.
tion and class war, 1t is not flag of
peace; it is fighting flag and it inn
plies battle line just as definite and
Just as terrible as did the flag of Ger
many.
It is not surprising that boys in uniform
with more ardor than discrimination,
should have become self appointed cen.
sors Of the red flag and should have
believed in tearing down the flag where
they found it and attacking those who
bore it. But the very principles of law
and order, Of which they hold them
selves Tie champions, forbid that boys in
uniform should fight without orders as
free -laneers at the command of their
emotions.
1t does not matter that they, or the
great majority Of Americans, disbelieve
in radical socialism and bolshevism and
the red flag To break up parades and
break into meetings is disorderly con,
duct, without right or sanction. And
it is a very poor way to fight the pur-
