NEED GIRL LINGUISTS

ton of linguists there was not great
harvest, but those who had tongues in
their heads are receiving their reward
in generous proportion.
The chief members of the British
and American delegations have conf
dental woman secretaries, who have
been chosen as individuals because
they had special qualifications. those
who are able to speak three or four
languages-English, French, Italian,
German and Russian-are so much In
demand that they can command their
own terms. Incidentally they stand to
be killed with overwork during the
next six months.
But Of course, just being linguist
is not enough in these days Of delicate
international relations. In order to be
of any use to their chiefs these wom-
en- have got to be Anglo Saxon bred
and must be right up to the minute in
questions Of the day In their own coun-
tries. And they must have one other
gift which every day is proving more
and more valuable; they have got to
possess political instinct, which 1t has
lately been proved great many wom-
en- do possess in even larger proper
ton than men.

NEVER DEIGN TO EXPLAIN
Which Westerners Find 1t Rather
Hard to Understand.

A Philadelphia lady, now resident in
Japan, has written to friend in her
home city a letter which the Public
Ledger reproduces in part, because 1t
Is $50 fine In Its reading from within
Of the japanese nation and nature"
Mrs. Nitobe says:
II am hoping that the light may
soon dawn upon the uniformed mind
Of America In reference to the true
thought of Japan.
ut is part Of the Samurai training
not to explain. If you are wrong,
show that you acknowledge your err
ror by changing your conduct. No
amount of explanation can set the
wrong right. If you are right and your
accuser Is mistaken, time will make
manifest the justice of your cause
This Is the underlying thought Of this
particular teaching. 1t Is, believe,
often carried too far-certainly, 1t may
prove misleading to an impatient west
erner, and do not hesitate to say that
! have at times resented the situation
1t has created.
"On the other hand, 1t is impossible
to bare ones soul to the unsympathet-
ic or curiously minded.
EVERY man or woman of fine feel
ing knows that, and the Japanese are
singularly sensitive to sympathetic
or an unsympathetic, coarse or an
understanding probing"

The first. American institution for
the education of the deaf and dumb
was founded in Hartford in 1917 by
DR.. Thomas ii. Gallaudet, who was
born IN Philadelphia 131 years ago.
He was educated at Yale and at
Andoter Theological seminary, and
II was his Intention to enter the min
istry Before leaving Andover. how
ever, he had decided to devote his
HE to the instruction Of deaf mutes,
for whom no provision had been made
anywhere in America. He remained
at the head of the Hartford institu-
ton from 1917 until 1880, when Ill
health forced his retirement. The
first systematic attempt to instruct
the deaf and dumb In Europe was
made In 1870 by Pedro de Ponce, a
Benedictine monk Of Spain. The nrst
British institution of this kind was
opened in Edinburgh In 1773.

BELGIANS PROUD OF CITIES

more whose old names are dear to

doner" in the London Evening News,
that the Belgian has a patriotism Of
the city, of the town. which we never
had.
The story of that love for the city
Is all the history of Belgium. The his
tory Of the freedom and the wealth
and the ancient arts Of Belgium Is
in the history Of Antwerp and Bruges,
Of Brussels and Client, and Louvain
and Ypres. 1t begins with the build
ing Of the town wall, with the market
that grows up behind the shelter Of
walls and armed gates, with the rails
ing Of the tall belfry, the towns pride.
and the hanging Of the bells.
II you were a tourist who could see
the glory Of old Flanders and Brabant,
you would look not at the cathedral or
the church, although Belgium has
many noble old churches, but at the
town hall and the belfry. The like Of
them Is not in any other country.

Annapolis, Md.-The fact that but
one member of the First, or graduating
class of the Naval academy was de-
fcient In scholastic work during the
term lust closed insures that the num-
Der of graduates will be AIS unless
something unexpected happens.
1t is seldom that a midshipman who
reaches his final term drops by the
vayside. The class is larger by 90
per cent than the largest class which
has preceded it at the Naval academy
and nearly three times as large as the
normal class of recent years.
With slightly more than 5000 regu-
lar officers in the service when the
United States entered the war, the
commissioning of nearly 500 ensigns
will mean that officers can be spared

Young officers will be released for
postgraduate work at the Naval acad-
euy and many temporary officers will
be returned to civil life or to the
grades they previously occupied in the
service.

land, Poland and Ukraine.

Paris.-The swift march of history
which has reduced to waste-paper
value most of the existing works of
reference about European state affairs
has been too rapid for the old Al
manach de Gotha. In peace times this
compendium of statistical data con.
corning princes and potentates and
their dominlons went to press about
the end of October, when Its infOrma-
ton was supposed to hold good for
another year, and 1t generally did,
barring some coup d'etat or other in
South America.
Now, however, its issue Of 1919
which went to the printers in Deem
Der, is affected in several important
respects by sudden developments in
vOlving many of the former ruling
houses of Europe.
Amusing to students of Germany's
eastern border policy is the naive pref
atory remark that "the editors regret
that, after having prepared three new
articles on Finland, Poland and the
Ukraine, they were obliged to cancel
all three, owing to the change In the
course of events"
Two Important Changes.
In other words, Prince Frederick
Charles of Hesse, brother-in-law of
the former German emperor, will
never seat himself upon the throne of
Finland, and there is to be no Prus-
sian predominance in Poland and the
Ukraine.
The downfall of the houses of Ho-
henzollern and Hapsburg has not
caused the compilers of the almanach
much racking of brains. The prefix
SEX is apparently held to be sufficient
to define the present status of William
II and Charles l, although the former
Is still credited with his full SO titles
and the latter is still styled, among
other things, king of Jerusalem,
Prince Of the Trentino and Lord of
Trieste"
Much the same treatment Is given to
the score Of German princes and
princelings who abdicated. They ap-
pear in the almanach as they were
but for the Eek"
Democratic infiltration in Germany
has set in from the top. instead of
from the bottom. For although the ad-
ministrative branches Of the German
government are filed with the usual
array of excellencies, professors and
councillors, yet at the head of that
government stand the names of Ebert
