A valuable chronometer which mas
operated under two flags has been
added to the large collection of such
instruments at the Naval Observa-
tory. 1t was part OF the navigation
outfit Of the North German Lloyd
steamship Grosser Kurfurst, seized
by the United States at New York
when war was declared against Ger
many. Renamed the Aeolus, the YES
sci became a naval transport and
later was turned over to the United
States Army. Having been allocated
to a steamship firm it was taken to
Baltimore and is being refitted at an
outlay of nearly 100000. The chro-
nometer now restored to the gov
eminent was made in Dresden. It's

International Air Race.
The planes and crews entered by
the United States in the Gordon Ben
nett international airplane trophy
race, to be held at Etampes, near
Paris, from September 27 to October
3, are now on their way to France
The planes, with one of which this
country hopes to capture the trophy
are the VervillePackard plane, en-
tered by the Army air service; Cur
| tiss monoplane, entered by S. e. J.
Cox of Texas. and a monoplane en-
tered by the Dayton Wright Airplane
Company. They will compete with a
score of foreign machines entered by
Great Britain, France, Italy and other
countries. 1t is REPORTED that Ger
man-made machines have been en-
tered by Holland and Denmark. The
course will be circular and 800 kilo-
meters (1S6.3 miles) long. The win
ner will receive the Bennett cup, val
ued at $500. from the Aero Club OF
France, and numerous other prizes
from manufacturers and private indi-
viduals. The first race in 1909 was wor
by Glenn II. CurtiSS in plane which
made only forty-seVen miles an hour
Claude Grahame-Whitew won for Eng
land the next year in Bleriot ma

Car Shortage Threatens to Cause
Wheat Shortage.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, August Is
With wheat bins in Kansas City ele-
vators practically empty and wheat ar
rivals inadequate to meet the demand
for shipments to other markets and
for export. the freight-car shortage is
clearly reflected here.
Slightly less than 100000 bushels
are now stored in local elevators,
which have capacity of between fif-
teen and twenty million bushels. A
year ago the supply was nearly 9.OOO,-
600. The amount in storage here has
increased only a few thousand bushels
since the harvest.
The shortage of cars for grain ship
ment in the southwest has never been
more acute, according to grain COM
pany officials here.
A critical situation in business and
financial circles was predicted by local
grain men unless the car situation is
improved. 1t will take twenty-eight
months. at the present rate. for the
railroads to move wheat now in Kan
sas, according to Judge Clyde NJ. Reed
of the Kansas court of industrial rela-
tons, who is investigating the car
shortage.

account of the large numbers of young
Americans abroad and a considerable
number of positions to be filled in the
diplomatic service, to hold some of the
examinations for the lesser offices in
Paris. The word went out To the
surprise and CONSERVATION Of the off,
Gals in charge. scores Of applications
were received from young American
women who had been serving with the
Red Cross or in some other capacity
abroad during the war. In those days
the subject of women entering the diplo-
matte service, except in the position as
clerk or stenographer, had not been
thought Of. The young women were IN
formed, therefore, that the door was
open only to men. But 1t all shows that
the women, if given a chance, would not
hesitate to hop into the diplomatic
corps.
Present System Recent.
The establishment of the diplomatic
service as part of the regular civil
service branch Of the government OF
civilized nations is comparatively re-
cent. The sending of ambassadors of
one kind or another from one nation to
another is as old as time. But in the
early centuries they were selected to
carry out a particular task. There
were no permanent posts. In the
middle ages diplomacy was almost eX-
clusively in the hands of the clergy,
who were better educated than any
other class. In the days of the rev. rev.
Assance diplomacy came more and
more to the fore. But it was not until
1915 at Vienna that the classification
of diplomatic agents was definitely in
cluded in the general body on interna-
tional law and the present form Of the
diplomatic corps adopted by the ma
lions. The four classes then adopted
and agreed upon were ambassador, en-
voys extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary and other ministers accred-
tied direct to the sovereign, ministers
resident and charges d'affaireS.
In the old days. when communica-
ton with the home government was
a matter of weeks or months. the re-
sponsibility upon the diplomat abroad
was much greater than today. when

The Boston tea party carries a
moral with it which has a kick like
