State Dept. Minimizes British
embassy's Action in Sound
ing" Senate.

Acting Secretary of State Nor
man II. Davis, just returned from
. weeks illness. today is giving seri-
Gus consideration to a letter from
Senator Kellogg dealing with the
alleged irregular action of the Bit
ish embassy in communicating with
a committee of the Senate direct,
rather than through the State De-
partment.
EPISODE UNFORTUNATE.
In the absence OF any definite an
nouncement. official Washington
speculated freely upon the outcome OF
the incident. 1t was generally agreed
that the episode was particularly I'M
fortunate. coming as IL did on the
heels OF the departments demand
upon Senior Bianchi. Guatemalan min
lister, for an explanation OF his recent
visit to Senator Moses. The consensus
OF opinion was, however, that the
likelihood of serious situation re-
sultinS from the affair Is extremely
remote.
Emphasis was laid upon the illness
OF Sir Auckland GeddcS, the British
amba ssador, and the fact that the
letter to the Senate committee invCs-
TO have been sent by secretary OF
the embassy.
There are too many serious prob
lens before the nations OF the world
today for two great powers to be-
come unduly exercised over the
triffinG error of subordinate said
one official.
RELATIONS CORDIAL.
Relations between the DEPARTING ~
OF State and the British embassy are
said never to have been more cordial
than at present. The department has
never credited reports that Great
Britain was censoring American conf
mercial cables, it was stated. and
during the recent sessions of the In
ternational Communications Confer.
ence dealing with the disposition Of
former German cables, the British
delegate is known TO have supported
Americas position on a number OF i'm
portant matters
In view OF these circumstances it
is thought likely that an explanation
and apology Will be promptly volun-
teered, and as promptly accepted. and
that the incident will be closed with
out further exchange of correspond
ence.

Both Harper's and the Literary

great poems in American literature.
Shuxl We a take Frost's meter

Here's how
Nothing to say to all those highballs!
She had made three herself to three
of his.
The score was even for them, three
to three. a..
But come to the fourth she found
she'd had enough;
She thought of three highballs IN a
burial row;
Three dead highballs in a row were
sad.
Three powerful highballs in a row
Somehow made her impatient with
the man.
So n said to Laban: You have
done
Three good things right: don't do
the last thing wrong.
Don't try to make me drink another
highball."
Laban was forced to fall back on
To make Eliza drink another high
ball;
which gave him for himself two
more big drinks.
Then he drank and settled down on
the floor.

soU1LY HoNoRs SOUTH ANlBoY

~
Congressman Thomas J. scully
paws South Amboy a rare compil-
ment in announcing that he will
run for mayor of that city at the
coming election. Seeing a lack OF
pep" as he calls it, in the city he
is, however. firmly convinced that
South Amboy has a great opportu-
nifty and that the most is not being
made Of its natural advantages.
The congressman has been a
member Of the rivers and harbors
of the lower house for several years
and when 1t comes to waterway
matters the third district represen-
tative Is an enthusiast. He has
worked untiringly for a deeper
channel to Sandy Hook and for the
New Jersey ship canal from Nor
gan to B~ordentown. In announcing
his candidacy for the mayoralty Mr..
scully declares that he would Ike
to be in a position to help forward
the work of developing South Am
boys shore front from the Penn
sylvania railroad coal docks to
Morgan and to push the ship canal
project to a successful conclusion.
Mr.. Scully believes that he can
do something to get South Amboy
out Of the rut. He would like TO
finish the work he started ten years
ago and does not think it strange
that he should aspire to a position
far below the one he holds at the
present time. He is right when he
saws that a mar who does a good
lob in his own locality where he
can influence and shape results is
after all doing more useful work
than a lot of well meaning congress
men in the national capital.
South Amboy is to be congratu-
lated in having such a public mini
ed citizen. The expression that IT
is better to be first in a little Iberian
village than second in Rome" is
not the case with MI. Scully. A
prominent figure at the national
capital and in the third district Of
New Jersey, he played an important
part in framing the destinies Of this
country. With a record of being
| capable Of doing big things nation
ally, how we'll equipped is the man
to do big things for his local COM
munity.
The congressman sees in rowdy-
ism so prevalent in South Amboy
another distressing condition that is
working to the city's disadvantage
If elected. he says, he will end thai
once and for all times.
South Amboy has the natural re-
sources. With a man like Mr.
scully at the helm of municipal af'
fairs there is no doubt that the city
on the other side of the Raritar
will be heard from in no uncertain
tones.
