Shortly after he was thirty years Of
age he was selected to organize and
edit the DAILY Citizen" of London
and was the youngest editor of
great daily newspaper on Fleet street.
For two years he had the honor of
being President Of the Association
of Foreign Correspondents of the
United States, which was formed at
the invitation of the United States
government. He received the Legion
Of Honor from France and was offer
ed an honor by his own government.
All Of the serious facts he presents
are conveyed with a sense of humor,
in a strong lively narrative style. He
never makes a speech without some
thing vital to say and vitality inter
.esting way of saying it. He is not
only a contributor to the leading pub
locations of England but also to such
leading American publications as the
Saturday Evening Post, Worlds
Work, Outlook, Review of Reviews,
Current Opinion, etc. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills says of him: 'To solid
thinking and clear, fine speaking.
Dilnot adds the gift of humor, and
has a certain racy quality that makes
it certain that there is at least one
Englishman who can carry an Amer

On June Fl the Imperial Conference
of British Premiers meets in London
to consider the writing of a new
Japanses alliance, as we'll as to take
up Dominion naval matters. In both
questions the attitude and opinions
of the United States are certain to
receive serious consideration. It is
known that Britain is not eager to re-
new the alliance, because it wants to
keep right" with America, not alone
on it's own score, but because of the
British Dominions. To renew the
Japanese agreement would excite an
unfortunate suspicion in America as
to the real intentions of the sigma
tories.
On the other hand, Great Britain
does not deem it wise to invite the
United States officially into tripar-
tite understanding. Such call would
create as much suspicion as the sign
ing of the dual alliance Britain,
therefore, has done the next best
thing by inviting DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler of Columbia University, as a
sort Of unofficial representative of
America, to discuss with the Confer
ence the problems of the three Powers.
The choice is good one and augurs
well.

erica can hope for an understanding
with Britain and peace with Japan

biggest navy against any possible al

under it's influence cannot tell lie.
He says he will not allow anyone to

President Neutrality-suspicious. Will
son was not SO far wrong.
Thomas A. Edison-The questions

Information Regard
ing Frank Dilnot.

Information that has reached us
seems to indicate that the Midland
Chautauqua Circuit made big hit
when then succeeded in closing a con-
tract with Frank Dilnot, of London,
England, editor Of the London Globe.
Reference to "Who's Who in Eng
land reveals the fact that Mr.. Dilnot
has some. very interesting exper-
ences. From various sources, we have
CLEANED the following facts, which we
think will be of more than usual in
terest to our readers.
Because of the unusual opportun-
tiles Mr.. Dilnot has had to meet and
become acquainted with some of the
Leading world figures, he will prob
ably be asked to lecture here on the
subject Master Minds and Master
Wits" For instance, Mr.. Dilnot has
had very intimate and close acouaint-
ance with Lloyd George for many
years and the Premier sent him a
cordial, well wishing telegram when
he left England for this country.
This lecture consists of snap shots
OF famous people known to all news
paper readers. and practically every
one contains an original story, gen
orally humorous, sometimes witty,
occasionally thrilling but always gives
a vivid and original insight on the
intimate side of a great man. Be-
sides such men as our own "Teddy."

George Bernard Shaw, etc., he will in

had been published in several langu-
ages in Europe.

twenty years has mixed with some of
the greatest men of the world and
touched public affairs at their source.
He was in Russia just before the war

WASHINGTON AND GENEVA.

The United States government has rec
ognized the existence of the league of ma
tions by opening diplomatic correspond
cnce with it In one day recently II
notes reached the league headquarters at
Geneva, all bearing the official seal of I'm
Gle Sam and signed by Secretary Hughes
The league officials declare themselves
much gratifed. If Americans are not
gratitied. there IS at least no reason why
any Of them no matter how much OPP
posed to the league. should feel aggrieved
The innovation seems to have been in
-duced both common diplomatic court
sey and good business sense.
The league of nations is doing business
along various lines for half a hundred
countries. The United States govern
ment has direct relations with the gov
ernments of all those countries. separ-
ately, and never fails to deal with each
after the usual courteous manner pre-
scribcd by international diplomatic usage.
There is no apparent reason why it
should do otherwise with an organization
representing all of them and speaking in
their name.
There was much hesitancy, not I'M
natural, on the part of the United States
government, about having anything to do
with the league. Many communications
from the league headquarters therefore
went unanswered, or obtained answers
only by roundabou ways. 1t seems to
have been finally decided at Washington
that this method was unnecessarily awk-
ward and discourteous-that there was
no good reason why the United States,
as an Independent power, could not cor
respond directly with the league on the
same basis that it corresponds with the
nations the league speaks for. This
method tends to better feeling, and less
foreign complication rather than more.

CANDY DAY.

October s is to be observed by candy
manufacturers and dealers land they
hope, by. the public as national candy
day. On this glad occasion special prices
will obtain for the sweets which cheer
but do not inebriate Gifts of candy will
be made en- masse to orphanages and hos
pitfalls, and the blessings of candy as
food and luxury will be set forth in
sugary terms.
1t may be suspected from this intensive
effort that the candy business is not hold
ing up in that glorious manner which
was forecast for it when prohibition
came in. One reason is that money for
sweets is scarce in the ordinary house
hold right now; another is that, save in
individual instances, the candy manufac-
turers and dealers have not reduced their
prices as they should, in keeping with
falling costs. There would be little re-
duction in the normal consumption of
candy if this matter were permanently
remedied. ~, #s.'----
\ little candy now and then, after a
meal orr as a slight stimulant when the
meal is delayed, will not hurt any
healthy person. If mother is too tired to
make dessert for dinner, passing the
candy box is an excellent substitute. But
If the dealers hope to supersede with their
wares roast beef and potatoes, succulent
custards or fresh apple pie, they are in
for a establishment.
