THE CONvERSATIONALIST

The famous Ben Johnson was
once introduced by his host to a
guest and for half an hour the
two men were together. When
Johnson went away he remarked
to his host: What delightful
conversationalist is Mr.. Blank. !"
Later during the evening it de-
veloped that Mr.. Blanks part
in this delightful" conversation
had been to ask only two ques-
tions: What day was that 2"
and what time was it?" Yet
Ben had gone away with the
impression that he had been in
troduced to a delightful conver-
sationalist."
Recently DIR. Frank Crane
came out with some thirty re-
quisites of a really good CONVEX
sationalist, and while the distin-
guished author did not demand
that the ideal conversationalist
should be as mute as was Mr..
Blank, yet he did lay stress upon
the fact that the art does not lie
in making all the talk"
1t is a fact that a good listener
is far more appreciated than he
who talks SO much. 70 listen
quietly and atentively; to be in
terested in what the other fellow
says and to efface self--these are
the fundamentals of a good con-
versationalist. You and I, reader,
know many people in Haakon
county who monopolize all the
conversation; they talk in a loud
voice and drown all attemps to
speak. They pay but scant atten-
ton to what one has to say and
are concerned only in what they
are interested in and what they
wish to speak about.
One is glad when they go. One
has learned little from them, and
a sense of being ruffled is left
at their departure. There are
many such people in all towns,

FRENCH PEOPLE
RESENT CHARGE

The statement contained in
President Wilson's recent letter
to Senator Hitchcock regarding
league reservations, to the eff
feet that the present French
government is militaristic Is,
according to Paris dispatches,
deeply resented by the French
people.
The French press, however,
while intimating that the Pres
dents criticism will make it
more difficult for his opinions
to continue to have an important
effect upon the shaping of the
international ttiooSsiisai policies Of France,
gives assurance of the fact that
the incident will not be permitted
to disturb the traditional friend
ship between the people of
France and America.
French criticisms of the
Presidents statement are to the
effect that it constitutes an un-
warranted interference with the
internal affairs of another ma
tion; and further that it Is inac-
curate, it being argued that,
though France may have assum-
ed a firmer attitude towards
Germany, that attitude is not
due to q fondness for militarism
but is merely q necessary meas
ure for the protection of France
in the absence of protection ex-
pected through the ratification
by the United States of the
league of nations plan and the
proposed Anglo American !
French military alliance.

How people turn down q side

is at the bottom of all this. That

JAPANESE OFFICIAL
DEFENDS MINISTERS
Says Missionaries Did Not In
stigate Students Against
Authorities.

TOXIC. Aug 1O.-Dr. Shensi Egi,
member OF the House Of Peers,
on returning from an inspection Of
conditions in Korea - quoted as
making the following reference TO
foreign missionaries:
II have done my best TO get at
the truth OF the reports that have
been circulated regarding the insti-
cation Of Korean students by their
missionary teachers against the
Japanese authorities, but have
found, that with very few eXcep-
tions, the rumors are not true. The
impression left on me was that the
missionaries are honestly striving 70
develop the country in order that il
may yield good results 20 the Kor-
cans. Whatever their motives,
there Is no reason why the Japan
csc should not welcome those eff
forts"
DR. Egi said that Korea has at
tanned striking progress since the
inauguration Of the new regime.
