the United States concerning some OF
the problems which contain possible ell

to serve the ends of real statesman

maintenance of good relations when
the lack of an interpreter of the right
| spirit and intention might make for
Misunderstanding and, perhaps, for
sharp trouble.
In 1909 Mr.. Moore was in Con-
| stantinOple as "A newspaper corre'
spondent. The young Turks took the
city, and everybody who might be con
