CANNOT RANK AS DIPLOMAT
General SHUTS Disqualified Himself
BY His UnseemIy Employment
of Plain Language.

The language of the law is the most
formal in the world and the most pre-
else. 1t seeks the definite so ardently
that, with its repetitions and where
ases, 1t confuses its own message and
only that rather perverted form of in
tellect, the legal mind, can wind
through its labyrinthine verbiage. The
language of diplomacy, borrowing
something Of formality from the law,
is nevertheless far more dignified. The
law deals merely with estates and pri-
vate contracts. 1t DEGREES the fate of
the individual. But the fate of ma
tons may hang on the phraseology of
diplomacy. It's greater importance has
impaired to Its diction greater dignity.
And the purpose of words in diplomat
ic exchanges being to conceal thought,
as Talleyrand said, the. language of
chancelleries is far more liquid. 1t
must fit the cast of the particular die
into which it is poured.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is Strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has SO many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

being lost to sight for nearly 1,2OO
years, or Of the poor, deluded youth,
Perkin Warbeck, the tool of the York
lists, and through them brought to an
ignominious death, says a writer in
Sphere. For us In England perhaps
its primary interest centers in its be-

real name was Pierce Osbeck. This
strange impostor was the son of a
simple Flemish weaver. Made pup

Guiding Margaret of York, dowager
duchess of Burgundy, to personate
Richard Duke of York, whom they de-
clared had not been murdered in the
Tower with his brother, but had es-
capped and been concealed, only await
ing an opportunity to declare his royal
birth, he succeeded for time in ex-
citing formidable revolt against the
king, Henry VII.
After many strange adventures and
much i'll success in spite of the recog-
milton of his claims by the kings of
Scotland and France, Perkin, finding
himself insufficiently supported in his
sorry fraud and realizing that he 'had
not the heart of king" but only "the
heart of weaver's son." made confes-
sion of his imposture and was i'm

Tomb of chiIderic.
An interest wholly different from
this passing futile deception, however
romantic some of it's circumstances
may have been, attaches to Journal
when we think of it as the seat of the
Merovingian kings. In 1853 some
workmen, whilst digging foundations
for hospital, came upon collection
of gold ornaments, sword mounted
with gold, some remains of human
bones and gold signet ring bearing
the inscription, "Childirici." Here was
the key to discovery, for the presence
of the ring led experts to consider that
this was the burial place of Childeric,
king of the Salian Franks, whose CAPT
tai was at Journal, and who died in
4S1.
This conjecture wasfurther strength
ened by an examination of the differ
ent objects, which were of such fine
workmanship that they could only
have been wrought for some great
chief or royal parsonage. The hilt and
Scabbard of the sword we're mounted
with gold, enriched with mosaic of
garnets and other precious stones held
in gold cloisons. Gold ornaments in
the form of bees, and having the wings
outlined with an inlay of garnets set
in gold, and also a small votive object
in the form of a bulls head, with the
solar disk on the forehead, recalling
Mycenean examples, formed part of
the treasure, and on the ring bearing
the kings name was engraved the head

So we must conclude that General
SHUTS is not diplomat. He has not
the diplomatic method of expression.
When the general met a diplomat,
trained in the school of Metternich, to
discuss informally separate peace
with Austria. he put the question of
such peace squarely to the be-
ribboned, bestarred representative.
There was hesitation and equiyoca-
ton. "Good-night!' p was the generals
exclamation as he left the confused
diplomat.
General SHUTS may not wear shirt
sleeves in diplomatic councils, but
this use of the vernacular shows that
his verbiage at least takes its coat
off. The acid touch of bit of slang
put an end to the prolonged ambigui-
hes and deceits of which diplomacy
is so fond.

neck. Perhaps this was meant for a
representation, as near as might be, Of
Childeric.
This rare treasure, after changing
hands two or three times, eventually
found its way to the Cabinet des Me
dailles, Paris. In 1881 thieves, In an
evil hour, broke in and stole almost
the whole of it, leaving behind them
only the mounting of the sword, two
golden bees, fibula and few stray
fragments.
The golden bees had been discovered
in considerable numbers, and were
thought to have decorated the royal
robes, and it is interesting to recall
that Napoleon, ever entering into the
spirit of historical display, chose this
decoration for his coronation robes.

Some TRAGEDIES Of PuQilism

The bookkeepers of the prze-hghting indus
try have provided us with many disilusion-
ments Instead of $4,000 paying spectators at
the recent Toledo mill, there were fewer than
$1,000. Instead of receipts OF Sl0000OO, we
have an actually of $452O00. Instead of great
crowds of the proletariat clarrorng for $40
seats the attendance was made up largely of
the capitalistic classes, whose tickets cost $50
or $50.
As showing, furthermore, the risks and dis
appointments of the business, it may be noted
that all the conces sonares lost money. The
man who provided sleeping accommodations
for the expected throngs of campers-out the
lemonade man, the sodawater man, the peanut
man and many others did not realize enough
to cover the prices paid for their privileges.
All this explains why the City of Toledo,
which was to have per cent and the United
States Government which was to receive as a
war tax 10 per cent of the receipts, are consid-
erably short of revenue from that source. 1t
may be accepted also as the reason why the
estimable Tex Richard, who staged the show
believing that it would net him 100000, is not
making any boasts of his newly acquired
wealth.
If the finances of fsticuffs are to be as I'M
certain as such disclosures seem to indicate,
the pugilistc fraternity will presently be de-
handing guaranteed prices, wages and profits.
The GROWING tragedy of Toledo however, ap-
pears to be that the only man who took in all
that he had any reason to expect was Jess Will

Senatorial Courtesy and the President

| The senate courteously refrans from laying
any obstacle in the way of the president max
ing his proposed tour of the country to address
the citizens in his advocacy of the League of
Nations, but prefers request that it be fur
nished with papers and other information con-
corning proceedings at Paris. In this way the
debate at Washington may be carried on, while
consideration will be given the treaty in COM
mittee, the quiz of the president being deferred
until after he has concluded his speaking trip.
Disclosures in connection with the Shan
tung episode such as warrant the closest
scrutiny of the entire matter. 1t is now openly
charged that Great Britain and France while
they were insisting that China enter the war;
became parties to secret compact with Japan
under which the latter government should have
all of China that Germany laid claim to. China
entered the war as belligerent, did all things
asked and kept good faith with the Allies, only
to learn at Paris that Shantung had been
awarded in advance to Japan.
Americans have not been told and maybe
they never will hear the detail of proceedings
in the secret conclaves where the peace treaty
was formulated. All they know is that open
covenants of peace. openly arrived at" was
treated as pretty figure of speech having no
practical application to diplomatic procedure.
This will not reconcile them t, the dismem-
berinent of China under treaty that is sup
posed to provide security for the weakest as
we'll as for the strongest of nations
We told that Japan declined to sign the
treaty unless given the peninsula; China re-
fused to sign because Japan was placated. Spe
cial pleading can not alter these significant
facts. Italy was deprived of Fiume under pres
sure exerted by president, who for some
reason felt unable to resist or unwilling to pro-
woke the Japanese.
The incident will stand considerable ventila-
ton before its odor is entirely fragrant to
American nostrs..
