Mr.. Taft on ReIigion.

Mr.. Taft is now heading a
drive" As president of the Arneri-
can Unitarian Association and as
honorary chairman OF the commit
tee which is seeking funds for ex-
tension of the religious and educa-
tionsl work of that liberal denomi-
nation, he says that he is deeply
impressed with the critical import
snce OF the part that religion and
the church must play in making
government what IL ought to be,
and as vindicsting 1t as the best
kind of a government that an in
telligent people can establish" Mr.,
Taft might have been elected presi-
dent of Yale University when Pres
ident Hadley was, had not he, Taft,
been a Unitarian. So widely
known clerical member Of the cor
poration once told me. He lost
votes in his 1893 campaign, espe-
cislly in the Middle West. because
he was a Liberal Nevertheless he
keeps right on being heterodoN.

A DAILY LINE O. CHEER
By John Keldrick Bangs
NOTHING NEW.

There may be nothing new beneath
the sun,
But l shant bother much if it be
true.
For there's so much the ages past
have done
To study which I haven't cen be-
gun,
There is no need for finding some
thing new.
The oldest things in life are new
to me,
And till I've used them up l shall
not care
But spend my time well and de-
lightedly -
In taking in their ancient novelty.

Washington will be host to no
fewer than seventeen national CON
ventiOns during the next eight
months. They are expected to bring
$4,000 moneS-spe ending visitors to
the Capital. During the eight
months just ending twenty-one con
ventions were held here, the largest
being that of the Southern Bap-
fists, who came 10000 strong. The
American Bankers Association.
which will meet here in October,
is to bring 5000 visitors.
Precedent for Women Diplomats.
Lady Nancy Astor's advocacy of
woman diplomats. respectively to be
attached to the American embassy
| in London and the British embassy
| in Washington. recalls that Great
I Britain during the war possessed
a woman diplomat. She was the
American born wife of an English
officer pamed Livingstone, her
maiden name having been Stickney.
Mrs. Livingstone's first diplomatic
mission was to attend during the
war an Anglo-German conference
at The Hague to discuss prisoner
of-war questions. II was the first
case on record of a woman partici
pating in European diplomatic ne
gotiations. Throughout the war
Mrs. Livingstone had charge of
British prisoner of-war affairs and
was in constant communication
with the German, Austro- Hun
garian, Turkish and Bulgarian gov
ernments. At her office in the House
of Lords, the handsome, young and
resourceful American presided with
the fnesse of a Cabinet Minister.

| who made so much trouble for the
/ allies at Spa in July. SHINES has
just executed a Enthusiastically
shrewd and cynical stroke. France
agreed to advance s20,O0O.O0O or
s25, 900 a month for food rations
for German miners so that they
can dig the coal Germany is re-
quired to deliver. SHINES there
upon established an organization in
Paris to utilize these advances. His
scheme is to purchase the necessary
foodstuffs and resell them to the
/ miners through "co-operative So
cieties." Thus SHINES own work
men not only are to be fed through
French bounty. but he himself will
profit handsomely in the process.
