New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-08-03
By Elias Tobenkin

wv USE MEN do not always
AA travel in threes. In Ger
v Y many they seem to. go by
twos. The two wise men
Of Germany to-day are DR.. Adolf
Mueller and Professor F. w. Foers-
ter. Both come from Bavaria. Both
seemingly are keeping out of Ger
man local politics by holding am
bassadorial posts at the same cap
ital--the most important capital in
Europe, by the way--Berne, Swift
erland. DR.. Mueller is the German
ambassador at Berne and Profess
sor Forester the Bavarian ambas-
sador at the same place.
At every crisis, however, or threat
of crisis, in German affairs, the
name of DR.. Mueller or of Profess
sor Forester Immediately bobs up.
The two men are Germany's dark
horses. For some time DR.. Mueller
had been spoken Of as one &C the
delegates to the peace conference
in Paris. "Ill health" however,
prevented him from accepting the
post.
DR.. Mueller is { Socialist. He
is the former editor Of the Munich
POST" an influential Socialist daily
in Bavaria. He is fifty-thrce years
old and had spent thirty-threc years
Of his life in the Socialist movement
q Germany. For many years he
served as Socialist representative
in the Bavarian Landtag.
Professor Forester, Mueller's
closest colleague, is not a Socialist.
He claims to BE a man of no party.
But the Democratic party of Ger
many nevertheless claims him. He
derives his prestige with radicals
because he was appointed to his
post of Bavarian ambassador at
Munich by Kurt Eisner, the father
of the Bavarian revolution" and in
dependent Socialist.
DR.. Mueller was graduated from
medicine into newspaper work and
craftsmanship. He was a physician
before he became a Socialist editor
and statesman. His ambassadorial
task in Switzerland is chiefly to win
back for Germany the friendship of
the world, to get Germany back into
the family of nations, and Berne,
which has been called the capital Of
Europe" is the base from which he
operates.

Frank and Cynical

There is good deal of Lord Aston
IN those words. There is the cynicisnl
and the Unborn pride that has made him
almost the legendary mark for journal
istic ridicule. Also, however, there is a
sort of frankness, a dislike of sham
that has always been one of his most
admirable characteristics. There is
nothing of the Diogenes about William
Waldorf Astor, and he admits it, He
even gees so far as to imply that he
is narrow man with snobbish con-
victions. 1t is safe 70 say that W. w.
Astor has never eaten bean SOUP a la
Thoreau, but he has never desired it.
He has desired to be what he has
made himself aristocrat with the
means of making aristocracy a pleasure.
But now that Lord Astor is an old
man, retired and wearied with the evo-
lutions Of society where he once exer-
cised an active mind, it is probable he
thinks sometimes Of the disadvantages
that wealth has brought him in the
train of the benefits he once cata-
logued so complacently. If he has con-
cluded that wealth is something he is
right, but he must also have found
wealth is something not OF unalloyed
joy 1t is William Waldorf Astor's
wealth and his wealth alone that has
given him during his lifetime torrent
Of undesired publicity that has made
him stand before the American public
as an unpopular and misanthropic
figure. Money more than anything
else drove William Waldorf Aston
from America and made him for several
years a man without any country at
all and finally a much criticised ex-
patriate. And finally money is strong
contributory cause in making him the
sort of man who wrote the essay on
wealth for The Pail Mall Magazine"

other quickly. There had been
three in the preceding year. Mr..
Fisher was therefore gladly well
coined as "at last, a president who
has been selected because he is an
acknowledged leader in the subject
which is the chief concern of his
department."
Inc new minister proceeded at
once to live up to expectations. In
August, 1917, he introduced the
education bill, contemplating a
thorough revision of the British
educational system. According to
its own text, the bill was drawn
with a view to the establishment
OF a national system of public edu-
cation available for all persons capa-
bic of profiting thereby" 1t pro-
vided for the abolition of school ex-
emptions under the age of four
teen. 1t prohibited the employment
in industry of all children under
twelve. For young persons between
the ages of fourteen and eighteen
it provided compulsory part
time education in conjunction with
their employment, unless they had
received full-time secondary edu-
cation up to the age of at least
fifteen.
an accomplished Orator
Appearing in Parliament as the
sponsor of this measure, Mr.. Fisher
found himself opposed by small
but strong group of reactionaries
In the battle which followed, last
ing for full year, the former vice
chancellor of Sheffield, like GER
tain former president Of Princeton,
showed that scholarly life is an
excellent preparation for political
generalship. His speeches in the
House showed him to be an accom-
plished orator and parliamentary
diplomat. By seeming to make con-
cessions to the reactionaries he
overcame their opposition, and on
August s, 1918, the education bill
received the royal assent. The
praise won by the bill was extrava-
giant.
"The passing of the education
bill into law marks the opening of
a new era in English history as we'll
as in English education," declared
''The Times" enraptured. "The
century-long struggle for educa-
tional conditions worthy of the chill
dren of great people has reached
another stage. 1t is fruitless to
speculate as to the different course
that world history would have taken
had statute comparable with that
which will be associated with the
name Of Mr.. Fisher been placed on
the statute books one hundred years
ago. In a word, we are at
asst in the new era which was fore
seen by the great cducationalists
exactly a century ago. Jordan is
nassed, and men are preparing to
cad the seven million children of
England into the promised land.
NJ. Fisher may we'll be proud of
al he has achieved and hopeful of
ali the conquests over the Philis-
zines that he has before him."
Such is the praise Mr.. Fisher has
Won in his own countrv

A Higher Post

How he acquitted himself be-
tween 1912 and 1916 may be
judged by this quotation from an
editorial in "The London Times"
printed on the occasion of his COM
Ing to London for the higher post:
Mr.. H. a. L. Fisher, the new
Minister for Education, has done
great work in Sheffield during the
last four years. He has lifted the
university to much higher level
than it occupied before and he has
lifted the city with it.

A New Ambassador From
the Court of St. .Dames's

~O HEAR the name of a
scholar mentioned for the
Il post of British Ambassador
to the United States is not
unusual. Scholarliness is an essen
rial part of the equipment of Brit
;sb gentlemen of the class from
which ambassadors are chosen; and
i has been no small part of the
luggare carried by Viscount Bryce
and the others almost equally dis
tinruished who have represented the
,ourt of st. James's at Washing
ton. In accordance with tradition,
tnen, is the appointment to that
post-not yet officially announced,
nut mentioned in the newspapers
Of the Right Honorable Herbert AL
bert Laurens Fisher, one of the
foremost scholars of Britain.
Mr.. Fisher has spent his entire
life, up to the very present, in work
with schools and universities, edu-
eating himself and others. His own
education was at Winchester, New
College of Oxford, Paris and Got
tingen. He became d fellow of
Winchester College and a fellow
and tutor at New College, where
he continued his studies while pub
fishing historical works and lectur-
ing.
His first appointment to a post
in the limelight-though as yet only
on the edge of the glare-came in
1912, when he became vice-chan-
cellor of Sheffield University. There
he remained until December 10,
1915, when he took his present po-
sition of Minister for Education in
the coalition Cabinet.

gime of his youth, the oatmeal and
thrift supplied by his Scotch father,
Mr.. Young told war savings workers
recently that it required the first Lib
erty Loan to crystalline the early
thrift teaching into an active principle
of his mature years. 1.-THE seeds of
thrift had been own years ago." said
he, land the national necessity for
saving that came with the war started
that germ to functioning."
This, ne said, Is the theory on which
war savings work must be carried on.
Thrift teaching must be implanted
and investing in government securi-
ties must give effect to the lessons.
Mr.. Young came to the Minneapolis
Federal Reserve bank as assistant to
the governor nearly two years ago,
after long experience In northern
Michigan banks. About a year ago he
was made deputy governor. His ele.

New Jersey has standardized upon

will build nothing else on it's main
routes Of travel. Future building will
be of concrete of a minimum width Of
18 feet with a foot penetration Shout
der on each side and laid upon nothing
less than a 30-foot right of way.
Two miles Of such construction are
now being completed upon the Lincoln
