long and useful career in the foreign
service. Four years later he was
transferred TO the consulate at Leip-
zig. Germany. and remained there un-
til 1885. when he retu1ned to this city
and presumed general journalistic
work.
Returns to Service Abroad.
In 1895 he was reinstated in the
foreign service of the government as
consul general at st. Gall Switzer-
land. where his work in connection
with the differentiation of laces.
etc. exported to the United States
resulted in radical reforms and saved
the government a large amount of
money. In 1901 he was recalled to
this city and appointed editor of
laws. at the State Department. He
filed that Office with great credit for
eight years and then went to Singa-
pore, Straits Settlements. as consul
general, where he remained for two
years
In August, 1911. he was appointed
United States minister to Colombo
then regarded a most important post
because of the negotiations in prog
ress in connection with the construc-
highly commended by the officials of
the State Department for the able
manner in which he conducted the
negotiations which led to the con-
clusion of the treaty with Colombia.
When that work was finished. in
June. 1913, Mr.. Du Bois resigned
from the diplomatic service and re-
sumed his literary and journalistic
work in the United States, in the
course of which he travelled consid-
erably. During that time he deliv-
cred a series of lectures for the Food
Administration and in behalf of sub
scriptions to the liberty loans.
His Literary Work.
During his busy life he found time
to do considerable high-class literary
work. He was the author of Life
of Ex-Speaker Galusha A. Crow" Fun
and Pathos of One Life" and other
works.
Harry L. Bryan Of the State De-
partment, an old and intimate friend
of Mr.. Du Bois. today paid the fol-
lowing tribute to his memory:
"A charming and gracious per-
sonality, a cordiality unaffected. flow
ing from inherent characteristics of
good will and individual interest in
the affairs of his fellow men; gifted
with qualities of rare eloQuence in
public speech. which was readily re-
sponsive to the many requests made
by patriotic and other civic aSsocia-
tions. gained for him an ever-in-
creasing number of friends in the

The sum for repairs to suburban
roads for the year drawing to a close
was 5000. 900, which. if continued. would
be inadequate because of the cost of

additions provided for in the new bill
to relieve congestion in existing class

Volubility Not Wanted.

When you find people who can say
volumes about nothing you can usual
ly put it down they are short some
where. A man with ideas that count
seldom wears out his vocabulary try
ing to advertise the idea He let's the
ideas stand on their own feet. The
fact is he doesn't need to do so much
for thing that can stand alone. And
what's more, ideas have way of
being able to deliver pretty strong ar
gument. When they are founded on
truth there is no way of getting back
of them. The fact that others refuse
to accept them does not discount them.
They stand on their own merits to
be recognized and used when people
learn to appreciate their value. His
tory reveals the fact that her biggest
men were men of small speech.

Mexican issue again came 10 the front
with the kidnapping and subsequent ar

case had been discussed at cabinet
sing, the state department sent a note
to CarranZa bluntly warning him that
further 'molestation" of Jenkins would
seriously affect the relations between
the United States and Mexico. for
which the government of Mexico must
assume sole responsibility"
President Wilson was advised OF a
situation which apparently had grown
acute, and he was said al the time To
have personally taken charge of the
matter. The Mexican government de-
layed Its reply for some time and sub
sequently Jenkins was released on bail
furnished by J. Salter Hansen without
the consular agents knowledge. Jen-
kins' case still Is pending in the Mex
