But it has been hard to get laun-

their living at the tub to turn TO less

there is a scarcity of wash ladies"
The condition Is one paralleled In
many other cities.

woman. addressing a colored woman
whom she had known for many years.
"don't you know some one who can
do my washing?"
"No, ma'am | don't know no one"
she said.

we'll he succeeded IN maintaining
rather more than mere benevolent
neutrality on the part of these
great Powers. It is probably fair
to say that the suppression of the
rebellion was rendered much more
difficult by reason of the sympathy
and support which Benjamin was
able to enlist abroad. The qualif-
cations which contributed to his sue
cess and which indeed are the ideal,
if not the essential requisites of the
international lawyer, are we'll

ton, his chief clerk in the State De-

acquaintance with history, with
both the common and civil law, with

t1at1OnS, he maintained that the
Triple Alliance was entered into
solely to establish balance of
power in Central Europe, the dis
turbance of which was now threat
ened by the invasion Of Serbia.
With considerable astuteness he
laid great stress upon the veto
which Austria had placed upon
Italy's prosecution of the war with
Turkey, whereby Italy had been
compelled to refrain from lombard
ing Salonika and the Dardanelles.
His old inc1inations were again
manifested in his acknowledgment
of the good will of the German Gov

much as to any man, may be
ascribed the continuance of diplo-
matte relations with Germany long
after the declaration of war against
Austro-Hungary (Italian Green

Apostasy has become SO general
in Germany for well-known reasons
that one speaks with diffidence in
mentioning the names of Jews in
any of the professions. The names
of Karl Neumayer, Franz Kahn,

well-known in the field of interna-
tional private law. Felix Meyer
and George Cohn (now Professor

Hague Peace Conferences, but also
to all the four Hague Conferences

Indeed, he served as President of
all of the latter, and to his zeal and
tact much of their success is due.
He was firm believer in the elimi
nation of the conflicts of private law
through treaties, principle to
which nearly the entire civilized
, world, exclusive of the British En-
pire and the United States, had COM
mitted itself prior to the outbreak
of the present war. Asser was long

Italy and Germany.
Italy furnishes us two remarkable
figures. Luigi Luzzatti of Venice,
who served during six administra-
tons as Minister of Finance, advo-
Gated long prior to the war the wis
dom of closer relations between his
country and France. His peculiar
talents have, of course, been in the
direction of international economic
and financial relations, but as these
have been of potent influence in the
external policy of Italy for many
years, Luzzatti deserves to be
ranked with the foremost diploma
lists. Curious1y enough, his policies
have been in past times opposed, at
least counteracted, by the weight of
authority of another distinguished
Jew, Baron Sidney Sonino, who for
many years vigorously supported
closer trade relations with Germany.
At the outbreak of the war, Son
nino was Minister of Foreign At
fairs. The pressure Of Italian public
oninion soon made itself felt upon
