The Lost Art
BY NORA COLE SKINNER

world with families. Some Of the
letters we burn. but others. even yet,
we again put away. They are like
links with the past, chronicles OF a
history most vital and most absorb
ing-because our own.
Letters are a revelation. They
show us up. They are In the first
person and they tell our thoughts.
actions and desires. Maybe that's
why some of US don't write. But
everyone who has been away from
home knows the sensation Of the
postman's whistle. There Is no one
'movie stars excepted) but loves to
get mail. An advertisement is bet
ter than nothing, and, II the letter
Is nowsy and chatty, telling just the
things we are dying to hear, we are
overcome.
But we often get letters from
people who write whole reams and
say nothing. They write a large
hand and are able 10 boast they
got off seven pages to 80 and So"
But 80 and so" didn't get thing
out OF II to remember except that
there's n absolutely no news"
Other letters we get are a trea,.
They show the art is only strayed
and FOR some Is not gone forever.
Tho letters are long and the writer
tells everything she knows" She
does not leave out detail. She
puts in actual quotatins, so that we
feel we, too. have been present on
the occasions about which she re-
lates. II takes time and energy to
write good letter, but It brings
two people near.
Seventeen sergcants fought the
last OF the war together at Camp
Grant one OF them came away
with the others addresses and a year
from then, at Christmas, he dropped
each OF them card. The letters
he received are priceless to him.
All but three replied with splendid
newsy letters-and one OF the others
owed him IS, so that accounts for
him.
We all owe letters to people we'd
Ike TO hear from. Don't let the fear
that some day they might appear in
the Kennedy Papers" deter us
The next generation should worry.

Washington, April 6.-State depart
ment officials refused to discuss the
documents, but it was learned that
they were broad enough in terms to
cover all American rights growing out
of the world war.

begun by Secretary Colby and in
which the United States insisted up.

and associated powers and also the
right to pass finally upon all man.
dates before their adoption.
The note will MOT be given out
here until it has been made public
in Washington.
1t was learned in official circles to-
day that the communication bears
principally upon the action of the
council of the league o fnations last
December in approving the mandates
passed upon at that meeting, includ-
ing the japanese mandate over the
North Pacific islands, taking the is
land of zap, but that It also outlines
the policy of the new administration
regarding questions arising from the
war and the approval of the United
States to be necessary to a final set
tlement.
A disposition to recognize the JUS
tice of the American claim was indi.
Gated in official quarters although
with the reservation that it was
scarcely possible to give the United
States the right of veto in the settle
ment of the questions which necessar.
lily were discussed in the absence of
representatives of the American gov.
ernment.
The reply will express the intense
satisfaction of the allies If the United
States Is disposed to resume collabor.
alton with them in the settlement OF
war questions.

Diplomatic Mission

Athens, April 6.-Entire satisfaction
with the military situation in Anatolia
was expressed by T. M. Gounaris,
minister of war, upon his return to
this city from Paris yesterday. Prince
George, brother of King Constantine,
and M. Maximos director of the ma
tional bank of Greece, accompanied
the minister home from the French
capital.
None of them would explain what
had been done by them in London and
Paris except to say that all misun-
derstandings between Greece and the
allies had been cleared up.
M. MaximOs. asserted there was no
reason. for uneasiness as the country
was amply supplied with funds to car.
ry on the war against the Turkish ma
tionalists for three months without
the necessity of outside help.
