Japanese Marriage Customs.

Marriages in Japan are generally
brought about by older married cou-
pies who act as go-betweens. There
is popular saying that everyone
should act IS a go-between at least
three times. The go-between, know
ing a young man and woman whom
he regards as suitable to each other,
proposes the match confdentially to
the parents Of both. If preliminary
reports are mutually satisfactory to
the two families, q meeting of the
young couple and their parents and
relatives f arranged on neutral
ground. Any intimation of the real
purpose of this meeting is tactfully
avoided at the time, though the pur-
pose of it is, of course, fully under
stood by all concerned Under this
arrangement either family may,
without giving offense, drop the
matter after the first meeting but if
the results Of the preliminary in
spection are satisfactory to both
sides, the parents meet again and
definitely arrange the match, which
IS made binding by an exchange of
presents

COL. HARVEY NAMED.
AS AMBASSADOR
will Represent United States
at Court of st. James
BROWN NOT TO GO TO JAPAN
Herrick May Go To Paris-Noted
ohioan Held The Post OF Am
bassador To France Under
President Taft.

ngton.-President Harding has
definitely decided to nominate Col.
George Harvey, editor of Harvey's
Weekly, as Ambassador to Great
Britain. His name, together with 9th.
er diplomatic nominations not yet
fully determined upon, will be sent to
the Senate when it convenes in ex.
ira session April II. This was made
known officially by the President at
the White House.
Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio, former
Ambassador to France under Presi.
dent Taft, is likely to be named again
for that post. While nothing official
was disclosed regarding the Presi-
dents intention to nominate Mr.. Her.
rick as ambassador, it is intimated
that such course is likely.
The President set at rest the report
that Walker Brown, Of Toledo, O.,
would be selected as ambassador to
Japan. 1t is understood that Mr..
Brown does not want to leave the
United States. He has been men.
toned for several important Federal
positions in Washington, but nothing
definite is known of the Presidents
intentions in this respect.
Colonel Harvey conferred with Pres
ident Harding and will later confer
with Secretary of State Hughes on the
various matters pending between this
country and Great Britain and ques-
tions which are likely to arise in the
future. The time of his departure for
London is not known, but it will prob
ably be early in May.
It has been known for several weeks
that President Harding was consid-
ering the appointment Of Colonel
Harvey to the London ambassadorship,
but considerable opposition to the Sc.
lection developed and the delay in the
official announcement gave rise to the
report that Great Britain had not sig.
nified her acceptance of Mr.. Harvey in
this capacity. 1t became known that
a favorable reply had been received
from the British Foreign Office.
Before the President made the Gus.
tomary inquiry of Great Britain re-
garding the naming of Colonel Harvey,
he caused a poll to be made of the
members Of the Senate Foreign Rela.
tions Committee to learn whether
that committee was favorable to his
confirmation. The result of this poll
was satisfactory and there is not ex.
pected to be any important opposition
to his confirmation in the Senate.

Washington. The United States

responsible for the war and obligated
to pay full reparations, Secretary Of
State Hughes declared in the COM

The text of the communication from

that Germany had been notified of the
position of the United States.
The communication to Germany was
in direct reply to one handed by the
German Foreign Minister, DIR. Simons,
to American Commissioner Dresel in
Berlin. This was On March % and the
American reply was dated March 20.
The communication from Secretary
Hughes stated the American Govern
ment was pleased to note the "un-

man Government to pay reparations
for the war to the limit of her ability.
The State Department specifically
denied that the communication from
the United States was considered a

Town Shoe Repairer, "FrienG,
Philosopher and Guide" Of
Vice President.
HELPS TO SHAPE HIS CAREER
Friendship Begun in College Days
Continues Through Early strug-
giles and Subsequent Promi-
nence In Politics.

Northampton, Mass.-James Lucey,
member Of shoes, is pegging away In
his shop here with one eye on the
newspapers for word of how the ma
tional capital treats Calvin Coolidge,
his one-time associate In local politics,
and now vice president.
When Vice President Coolidge, just
before departing for Washington re-

the photographers snapped their cam.
eras, he gave him a distinction that
he was asked to explain. "Put Mr..
Lucey down as my guide, philosopher
and friend" he saidI And so the
cobbler is now nationally known.
What the vice president meant was
more or less well known to Northamp.
ton folk. The story goes back to the
days when Calvin Coolidge was soph-
omore at Amherst college. With shoes
to be repaired he sought Lucey's shor
on Gothic street in this city, and then
remained to listen to the cobbler's
homely comments on the topics Of the
day.
Helped to Shape Career.
The student found the shoemaker'a
philosophy so engaging that during the
remainder Of his college course he
went frequently to see him. AS a
lawyer later young Coolidge opened
offices here, and while he waited for
clients, continued his acquaintance
with the cobbler. Throughout his ca
reer in the politics Of the city and
state, Mr.. Coolidge dropped in at the
shoe shop from time to time to ex.
change ideas with his friend and have
the benefit Of the latters pointed po.
litical observations.
The youthful Coolidge took away
lessons from the cobbler counsellor;
Coolidge, the candidate, received the
benefit of his influence, which was
considerable in city politics, and when
he rose to position OF state and
national prominence he still, received
the loyal support Of the shoe man.
Mr.. Lucey, modestly explaining that
Mr.. Coolidge long since passed out
Of his range of influence, admits that
he may have been of some help when
the vice president was on the first
rungs of the political ladder.
Cement Closer Friendship.
The cobbler says that the only time
he ever crossed Calvin Coolidge seemed
TO make firrner the friendship between
them. Mr.. Coolidge had sought the
election Of friend as mayor, and
asked Mr.. Lucey as a delegate to the
party caucus to stand in his behalf.

Diamonds have been found in some
