Washington, Nov. 12.-The hazy
November sun which shed misty
golden glow on the burial of the
unknown dead at Arlington Friday
was not alone divine blessing but
vast victory for the elusive in
tangible thing called diplomacy. To
all who would know what real
diplomacy is, this tale should be
illuminating.
The dreary rain which fell
throughout Wednesday when the
body of the unknown soldier was
borne from the Olympia to the
capitol filled many diplomats with
misgivings. Accustomed to the
bleak weather of northern Europe
they surmised that the rain would
continue for days. if not for weeks.
Yet they had been informed that
the open-air ceremonies at Airing
ton would call for supreme special
full dress. Some of the ambas-
sadorial uniforms are scintillant
mass of gold lace at this time of
strife and trouble is worth far
more than it's weight in the metal
from which it is made.
Hence, one particularly prudent
American sent Il messenger to the
state department Thursday to ask,
If in the event of inclement wealth
er, a more modest uniform might
not be substituted for full dress
regalia. 1t is not generally known
but there is in the state depart
ment an official who deyotes his
entire time and attention to mat
ters of just this sort. He is the
social ar5iter supreme in the cap-
ltoi. He knows what everybody
should wear at every hour Of the
day, knows who should go first
moves, and has his being in an
atmosphere of perfect punctilloius-
ness. His name is Charles l..
Cooke and his official title is of
ficer in charge of ceremonials.
So in the regular order of dip
lomatic channels the inquiry of
perturbed America was put up to
Charley. He pondered deeply.
What should the American wear
in case of rain?" he repeated many
times as he held his head in his
hands. For a time the strain was
terrible, but at last there came
flash Of light-a diplomatic in
spiration. Tell the American
said Charley, in slow, measured
terms, that | do not think it is
going to rain
And it didn't.
Washington is city of dipIo-
mats and detectives. Wherever
plenipotentiary to the conference
goeN an American secret service
man is close behind him. The ar
rnngement is not without it's diff
ficulties of tongue and tempera-
ment, but the government is de-
termined that nothing untoward
shall happen if it can help it.
Some of the more distinguished
delegates were rather inclined to
chafe under the arrangement the
first part of the week, but by
Friday or Saturday they had be-
come accustomed to the well-in-
tentioned surveillance
Rene Viviani former premier of
France was particularly alarmed
at the thought of a secret service
guard. NJ. Viviani is a great
walker. He strolls abroad by day
and night and does not like to be
fettered in his connings and goings.
When his own particular personal
guard was introduced to him
through the means Of an inter-
prefer the former premier regis
tered astonishment.
Must / have him with me al
ways?" he asked with frighten-
ed look.
"Oui'' said the Interpreter.

OF complete despair.
Mon deu, mon dieu."
Republican comment of the elec-
tions Of last Tuesday has been
: very scant indeed, particularly
with reference to the oyerwhelm-
ing Tammany victory in Greater
New York and the election of sew
eral Democratic mayors "up
state for the first time since
anybody can remember. Secretary
of State Hughes journeyed all the
way from Washington to New
York letting international affairs
take care of themselves for day,
so that he might vote for Curran
and against Mayor Hylan. But,
according to the latest census and
election figures, the entire popula-
ton of Washington could have
gone to New York and voted for
Curran without upsetting the
Hylan victory.
All of which reminds one of the
advice that was given to Governor
Cox last fall just after the Re
publican presidential avalanche. He
had been asked for statement
But what can I say" he pro-
tested.
well Governor, suggested
newspaperman, "just say that the
people ..have spoken-but they
needn't have spoken so Ioud.'
There are more japanese journ-
alists in Washington than of all
other foreign correspondents.
They reflect in their presence and
the earnestness with which they
are taking their assignment, the
Importance that Japan attaches to
the conference. The, conference
marks crisis in the life of the
island empire, distinct turning
point, for from this conference
Japan must either 20 ahead or 60
back; she cannot stand still.
The Japanese correspondents
who have been sent to Washing
ton are all young men of progress
sive ideas and quick wit.
Some of their American and
European colleagues got a taste of
their humor too. at the luncheon
this week of the Overseas Writers,
an organization of Washington
correspondents who have had
foreign service. At this luncheon,
the guests from overseas were
asked to rise in turn and state
their names, and their papers. A
bit of opening humor by Wickham
Steed editor of the London Times
soon robbed the announcements
of all formalities and among those
to catch the spirit of the occasion,
there were none quicker than the
japanese who, recognizing how
difficult their names might prove
to their colleagues began to ex-
plain just what these names
meant.
MY name is Yamagawa', said
one %. the young writer's. I'm

my intellect is not as high as

fluent as a river.
My name,'' said another, ''can
easily be remembered by those of
you who know Madame Butterfly.
My name is Suzuki. and that was
the name Of the Madame Butter
fly's maid"
Washington boasts a number of
somewhat ancient hostelries that
still insist upon the prefix new"
in front of their names. That has
made a hit apparently with our
visitors from the Orient,

Schei Found Guilty.

The much talked of cases against
w. E. Shei, of Lamberton on the com
plant of Albert Pfaender finally came

peared for the state and Senator

defendant.
Tuesday afternoon Justice N. Hen
ningsen, after finding the defendant
guilty in all three eases, gave out the
following verdict against Editor
Schei of the Lamberton Star: Ten
dollars fine and costs or ten days in
county jail in the first case; $25 fine
and cost or thirty days in the county
Jail in the second case; $50 fine and
cost or sixty days in the county Jail
in the third case.
The defendants attorneys indicat-
ed that they would appeal if the de-
cision was adverse to them, and
waived their presence and that of
the defendant when the decision was
announced. Should such an action
be taken there will be four cases
against him, he having been previous
ly found, guilty before Justice Wilbur
F. Strate at Searles and fined $100.

A Worthy Appointment,

Confidence in the capabilities of
Minnesota's expanding highway de-
partment will be strengthened by the
announcement of John H. Mullen's
appointment to be Commissioner Ba-
bcock's chief assistant. Mr.. Mullen
has been identified with the highway
department for 13 years, and for some
time has beeen regarded as one of it's
mainstays. Like Commissioner Ba-
bcock, he has intimate and searching
knowledge of the states highway
needs. Like his chief, also, he has the
expert engineering equipment to deal
conclusively with construction prob
lens. His participation in the direc-
tion of this huge enterprise of the peo-
pie of Minnesota should give added
momentum to the machinery which
should shortly be in motion for crea-
tion of great highway system. By
surrounding himself with officials of
the type of Mr.. Mullen, Mr.. Babcock
will have opportunity to demonstrate
to Minnesota, and to other states as
well, that expert service is invaluable
to the state. 1t is by assuring expert
direction that administrative and ex-
ecutives may go a long way toward
removing from public service the
stigma which has come to be attached
to the term politics" Government
requires politics, Of the right sort, and
men are learning that the leadership.

Bus Line Opens.

The autobus Of the Midland Bus
Line of Sleepy Eye made it's initial
trip from Sleepy Eye to Mankato Mon
day of last week. The trip from
Sleepy Eye to Mankato was made in
the morning and the return trip was
made in the evening. Trips are made
each way every day, and it said the
bus has been crowded every day, es-
pecially between Sleepy Eye and New
Ulm. Another bus is to be operated
between Sleepy Eye and Tracy daily.
This bus was in Lamberton on trial
run recently and occasioned consider
able favorable comment. The wish
was also freely expressed that line
would operate between Window and
Redwood Falls. Both are county seat
towns and there being no direct rail-
road connections, the route would be a
paying proposition. The Midland
busses are painted bright yellow and
can be distinguished long ways by
farmers living along the route who
wish to make use of the line to go
to town. The busses stop anywhere
along the route to take on or leave off
passengers, and we understand the
fare charged is in the neighborhood

County Health
Crusade Closes
THREE SCHOOLS GIVEN SCALES
AS PRIZES FOR EXCELLENT
WORK DONE.

For the past fifteen weeks the school
children of Redwood County have been
faithfully attending to the matter of
various health chores, giving this at
tention with a seriousness and a
sincerity which was revelation to
many of their elders, and so sincere
were the youngsters that the parents
in many families have found it wise
and expedient to do the "chores" right
along with the children, to the great
benefit of both parents and children.
The Health Crusade is probably the
most beneficial of any single educa-
tional factor undertaken by the schools
of the county.
The Crusade closed April 18th, and
by a careful checking of the results
tabulated Miss Vorbeck, Redwood
County School Nurse, has announced
that the three schools winning the
prizes are Milroy in the graded school
class, Seaforth in the senni-graded
and District AZ in the Rural. Belview

points.
In Milroy the teacher Miss Regina
Kelly and her thirty y-seven pupils made
an average score of one thousand, one
hundred, seventeen points per pupil.
In Dist. 102, Miss Claire Harris class
of thirty pupils made an average
of eleven hundred seventeen points.
In District AZ, near Tracy, Miss Flor
#ence Brezinski's class of thirty made
an average Of eleven hundred twenty
nine points, the highest average OBJ
tanned. Each chore done counted for
one point.
The prizes awarded were school
scales with measuring rods attached.
This scales will be used to obtain a
consistent record of gains and losses
made in the weight of each pupil and
these tables will be Of the greatest
value in fighting malnutrition which
is possibly the gravest foe the children
of today have to contend with. 1t is
the aim of every person who looks
forward to the better health of the
children Of school age and below to
see one of these scales installed in
every school in the county, and to have
it's use regular part of the school
work so that teachers and parents
may have this great assistance in bet
tering the health of the children.
