Hard to Characterize.

II is hard to characterize the arch
duke as he is more complicated than
would appear from a superficial ac-
quaintance. He was not stupid, but
he did not have much spirit He was
not a man of far reaching concep-
tions His brain is best described by
the word cunning" I was often sur
prised by his quick perez ption. the
more as his somewhat disturbinSly
bad hearing hindered his grasp OF
subjects and therefore it was very
difficult, as it is with people who do
not hear we'll. to figure out what he
had or had not heard. But even con-
versations indistinctly heard he could
readily combine correctly. ...
He was more interested in politics
than one generally thought. Likewise
there were periods of absolute roliti-
cal Incidence and unfruitfulness.
Nevertheless in his most excited .poilt-
ical moments he was lazy to such an
extent that, for example. none of his
associates Or advisers was able to
induce him to draw UP genuine de-
tailed plan for his activities during
the time he was an archduke and pre-
pare himself for his high and very
difficult vocation. His political ir
ruptions were always moving along
the broad level of the general slogan
"a deeper study of the laws, expected
means of power, etc. This made him
impatient He would abruptly break
off the conversation in a trivial man
nsr.

Insincere and Lacking Confidence.

But this is all beside the real point
Most striking were two pitifu1
qualities of his character-namely,h his
insincerity, which was beyond all
limits. and. probably in connection
with this, lack of confidence in all
of his circle, SO that he would not
believe in the real. honest. unselfsh
activity on the part of any one. For
him all men, from his premier down
to his butler. were only men who he
thought were rewarded If he per-
mitted them to go, whose duty it was
to let themselves be squeezed out like
lemons and be cast upon the garbage
pile. At the same time he vas not
intelligent enough to see that this
comprehension. once found out and
known. would rob him of all his best
servants. . =.
] believe he himself was not abso-
lutely clear about his ideas (suc-
cession OF ideas) and psychological
reflections were distastefu1 to him.
Through and through, convinced of
the divine right of kings he took
it for granted that all his subjects
placed themselves Internationally
and without choice (willenlos) at his
service. Nor did he ask. whether any
one made any personal sacrifice in so
doing. One remark in particular ex-
plains his state of mind. This he re-
peated many times He has above
him only two-his Lord and his en-
peror"-just like the second lieuten-
ant of detached company who
knows only his captain and his first
lieutenant above him.

A NICE SPAT

Hon. David X. Francis. our ambassador To Russia, thinks
that he has a grievance, and he is telling it to a committee OF
the senate. His grievance is against Col. Robins, who was at
the head Of the Red Cross work in Russia. Robins, the ambas-
sador claims, took charge Of everything and forced himself INTO
precedence over the ambassador. He was called the voice ct
America" This must have been humilating to the accredited
ambassador Of the nation. Col. Robins was on good terms with
train provided him, while the ambassador remained behind. His
kilograms also were given precedence over those OF the ambas
sador, who had to play second fiddle in the orchestra inns
must have been annoying.
1t is not difficult to see how it came about. COL Robins
had large sums Of money to distribute, and he had %shiploads OF
food for the starving people, The ambassador had only scraps
OF paper to deal in. A furnishing people would naturally eXalt
the man who fed them and magnify him above any diplomat.
The orbit Of Col. Robins duties was but dimly defined, and it
was easy for him to probate his activities beyond their proper
sphere. Very few men will decline honors when pressed upon
them, or refuse power and responsibility when cheerfully given
them, and it was only natural for Col. Robins to regard himself
as the big sunilower, and to consider the ambassador as only
a pansy blossom, if people thought so. The most serious charge
made by the ambassador is that Col. Robins is the accredited
agent OF the Bolsheviki. Our soldiers are at war with this elc-
ment. and are giving up their lives in the neighborhood OF Arch
angel in their country's cause. We have not recognized the
Bolsheviki, and they are our public enemies, with whom we are
at war. A Red Cross agent has no business in mixing up with
them in any way, but human nature is human nature.
On the other hand, the doughty colonel denies categoricaly
the ambassadors charges. and while his language is eliptical
the shorter and the ugler word is the only one that will fill
in the hiatus and complete the text.
When a man is given great power and authority and sent tc
the other side of the earth. if he is not careful he can easily
probate the bounds of his duties, especially when they are not
plainly defined,
Controversies like this are very unfortunate and injurious
and for the sake of the good name Of the great Red Gross
organization the trouble will be ironed out and amicably settled

GERMAN P~ERTINACITY

Germany does not appear willing to give up anything or
comply with the terms OF the armistce until she is made to do
so. When she asked for quarter and the armistce was agreed
to, one Of the conditions was that she would turn over her
merchant ships to the allies, At that time the allies had her
whipped, and could have invaded the country and overrun it.
Germany knew this, and was willing to promise anything and
sign anything, No sooner had the fighting ceased than her old
arrogance returned, aqd when Gen, Foch demanded the ships
she refused to deliver them until the allies promised to supply
the country with food, and this demand has practically been
conceded. Germany feels that she is strong and fortified in
her own weakness, and there is no telling what other demands
she will make. When the peace conference concludes its work,
insofar as Germany is concerned, the Hun may refuse to accept
it, or make demands that cannot be granted, This would mean
a reopening of the conflict, and for this the allies are not pre-
pared. With the exception OF France most OF the armies have
been withdrawn and largely demoblized, and to renew the war
would mean doing over again the enormous work that was done
at the outset and during the past four years, The Hun has
given up his w~arships and some of his larger guns, but he has
his soldiers and his munition factories intact, and could give
the allies much trouble while they are again preparing to crush
him as they were ready to do when the armistice was signed.
Poland has been recognized by the allies, and yet Germany
has an army menacng that country, A renewal OF hoStihties
would mean the retribuive humiliation OF Germany; but this
would take time, men and money, and the crafty Hun figures
that the allies will prefer granting many concessions to a
renewal Of the conflict. If hostiliies must be renewed the allies
will receive no indemnity, because there will be no Germany
LETT to pay the money. 1t is a serious proposition, and the
world will breathe easier when the crisis is past.
