A few months ago We read an
article in an American newspaper,
entitled "War Facts" The article
showed the result obtained by
William Fl. Allen, Director of the
Institute of Public Service, of
New York, in his recent investiga-
tion about the knowledge of high
school students of simple facts in
regard to the war.
1t was shown that out Of 1920
marks, there we're only 2,0S5
correct, and 1896 wrong, or 44ao.
! At the end Of the article above
referred to, the author said that
sstfe reading of any ordinarily ac-
citrate newspaper with only or
dfnafy care, should have been suf-
ficient to set these students rights
Upon such simple questions. But
NTH the truth stated plainly they
Still ignore it, And then he
asks: "Where is the fault?" Yes,
where is the fault? we repeat.
z Aid if it we're only the average
high school student who shows
his or her ignorance, at least
about simple facts in regard to
tie war just ended, it would not
be so bad. 1t is not the average
high school student alone, but the
average citizen as well, who il

but also Of others for which there

To The Editor of The New York
Times:
1t has seemed to me that the
biographical sketches of Mr.. Hen
ry White have been rather in
adequate, and | think it is due the
American people that they should
know what very good reasons the
President had for selecting Mr..
White to represent us at the Peace
Congress.
There is no one in the United
States who has the exhaustive
first-hand knowledge of Europe
an politics and diplomacy enjoyed
by Mr.. White. He began his di-
plomatic career in Vienna in 1883,
and was transferred in the follow
ing year to London, where he re-
manned, with the exception of the
years 1898 and 1897, until 1905,
having been Fisrt Secretary Of
Embassy from 1897 to 1905. One
heard far more Of the First Sec
retary in those days in London
than of the Ambassadors, and
probably no American ever lived
in England who had such a wide
circle Of friends among the men
who were making history.
He was American Ambassador
i, Italy from 1905 to 1907, aud IL
France 1907-09. 1t was during
his stay. in Italy that he distin-
guished himself in the eyes Of
Europe by his mastery domina-
ton of the Algeciras Conference.
AS Mr.. White has always avoided
the limelight, and as the United
States has heretofore taken little
interest in European diplomacy,
and as he has never held office
in this country, he is naturally
far better known to Europeans
and to Americans living abroad
than to the bulk of his own peo-
pie.
That his services were highly
valued by successive Governments,
however, is sufficiently demon
strated not only by his almost
uninterrupted career in the Di-
plomatic Service for so many
years, but by his appointment as
Chairman of the American delega-
ltion- to the Fourth Pan American
Congress at Buenos Aires, (l910,)
and as Special Ambassador to Chi
lie for the celebration of the cent
enary Of that country's indepen-
ldence. He was also senior deleg-
ate from the United States to the

THElMEAN.INCy-s
OF AMERICA
By Eugenio Vera

u
The word America has be-
come Of very limited meaning in
the United States. Over there,
usually the word America sign
ifies merely the United States,
as if the United States were the
whole continent, and so the
people speak of America when
they only mean that federal
union.
/ remember having heard a
professor at a university say !:
"Such and such a law is the
law in America, when he only
meant a statute that was in for
ce in the United States.
They also say many people
go from America to the Argen-
tine Republic, not thinking, or
not knowing, perhaps, that Ar
gentine is as much America as
the United States itself.
The name America was given
to all the territory extending
from frozen Alaska to the re-
mote lands of Cape Horn, in
cluding the adjacent islands of
the Caribbean sea, as well as all
the small islands scattered about
off the coast Of the whole con-
tinent. Therefore, America is
Brazil, as well as the Bermuda
islands, as well as Canada, as
well as Porto Rico, as well as
any land in the Western Hemis-
phere. Why, then, give such
narrow meaning and limited ex-
preston to a word that means
so much as America does?
In Spain they call americana
(American) to any native Of the
Western Hemisphere, were he
born in either New York State
(1) or in Patagonia, and that
is the right use and true mean.
ing of the word America.
(1)AThe author is not very
well informed on this point. The
real fact is that in Spain the
adjective americana is applied
only to Spanish Americans, wht
are also called surGnaeyicanos
| cubonos, puertorTiquefios, etc.
according to the particular Spa
nish American country they hal
from. People from the Unitet
States are never called america

HENRY WHITE

Agricultural Conference in Rom
in 1905, which resulted in tl
foundation Of the information
Institute Of Agriculture in a ca
ital heretofore associated in Il
American mind with ruins al u
art.
There is no diplomatic vile un-
known to Mr.. White. He enjoys
the respect Of the diplomatists of
Europe. He is, moreover, man
of distinguished appearance rad
manners. Good Americans may
sniff at this last brace of qualifca-
tions, but if they knew their Eu-
rope they would be profoundly
grateful, for Europeans are ac-
customed to distinction in their
diplomats, and half the battleI is
won when they recognize an Am
erican plenipotentiary as one OF
their own kind. Diplomats do not
look poised and distinguished with
out a good deal of practice.
I do not hesitate to brag that
he was my choice from the first,
and this with no detriment to the
other eminent Republicans sug-
gested. Outstanding abilities are
not enough in themselves at this
stage Of the game. We need all
the wits we ever had, plus long
experience in every diplomatic
conyolution, to sit at that peace
table; and President Wilson has
shown his usual far-seeing wisdom
lin his appointment of Henry
White.
AS to his utterances regarding
neutrality in 1914, we are still able
to recall, in spite of the terrific
drama which has made our ms.no-
ries creak during the last four
years, that this was at a time
when we were all trying desper-
ately to be neutral, deferring to
the expressed wish Of the Pres
lident. And although Mr.. Whites
daughter did marry a Prussian,
that event occurred some time be-
fore the great war; and after we
entered in 1917 he never made any
attempt to communicate with her.
These things should be taken for
granted in man who has served
his country with such devotion for
so many years apologize for put
ting them down in bald black and
white. But as all classes In the
States are calling for the TRUTH,
and nothing but the truth, let it
pass. bE It /! klsM

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this SIM
pie mixture was applied with wonder
full effect. By asking at any drug
store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
he hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen q comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is q
delightful toilet requisite. It IS not in

vention of disease.
