The American Embassy. formerly the rendez-

barest formaties. In fact, the situation became
impossible and intoerable that it is asserted

According to recent dispatches from
Washington, Mr.. White denied he had ever
made such statements regarding the war
and Americas alleged lack of interest in it
as were attributed to him in the interview
in the "kreuz Zeitung,' Of Berlin. August
1914. Mr.. White said he had seen quota
lions from what he called "this alleged in
terview," but that he certainly could not re-
call ever having made such statements.
His daughter, the countess, according 70
the same Washington dispatches, lost what
American property she had some time ago
through cooperation zetween her mothers
estate and the Alien Property Custodian.
The executor of the estate, it is understood
went 20 Washington and reported to the
Alien Property Custodian that the Countess
Scherr-Thoss has been receiving an income
OF $1,000 annually from her mothers estate
IN Maryland. This income, arranged in four
quarterly checks, was diverted to the United
States government. Officials in the office
Of A. Mitchell Palmer, the Alien Property
Custodian, could not say just when the
transfer Of funds was made

mother country. The American flag, the
American destiny and hers were TO be in
terwoven through the coming ages.
In relinqushing this most perfect jewel
in her imperial crown, England suffered
no financial loss, for Canada had long
ceased to be a source of revenue. and under
the order of things the trade relations
between the two would be increased rather
than diminished. The only wrench was
the parting with so splendid a province,
throughout which that noble insignia OF
British supremacy, the cross Of St. George,
would be forever furled.
Administrator Dru's negotiations with
Japan were no less successful than those
with England He first established cordial
relations with her By announcing the inten-
ton Of the United States to give the
Philippines their independence under the
protection Of Japan, reserving for America
and the rest of the world the freest OF
trade relations with the islands.
Japan and China were to have all East
Asia as their sphere of influence, and
if it pleased them to drive Russia back
into Europe, no one would interfere.
That great giant had not yet discarded
the ways and habits of mediavalism. Her
people were not being educated, and she
indicated no intention OF preparing them
for the responsibilities of self government,
to which they were entitled. Sometimes in
his day dreams, Dru thought OF Russia in
its vastness, of the ignorance and hopeless
outlook Of the people, and wondered when
her deliverance would come. There was,
he knew, great work for some one to do
in that despotic land
Thus Dru had formulated and put in mo-
ton an international policy, which, if adj
hered to in good faith, would bring about
the comfy Of nations lasting and benea-
cent peace and the acceptance of the prin-
cple of the brotherhood Of man.
Having disposed of all the wrongs Of
the world, Philip marries Gloria, anG
the two sail out of San Francisco along
the path Of the purple sunset, very much
like Hiawatha, and disappear And
that probably would have been the end
Of philip Dru: Administrator had not
fate given its author place in world
affairs, for as an exposition of political
| philosophy the book is hardly worthy of
notice and as q literary production it
is less so.
