agreed that the only way of harmonic
ing the artistic claims of the bank with
the duties required of ii is to erect

height surrounded by a girdle of lower
buildings composed of the existing

Structural Character of
Building Preserved
The interior is to be reconstructed
entirely, though, in order to preserve
the character of the present buildings
as far as possible, it is proposed to
keep the old outside walls with as
many of, the old rooms behind them as
can be preserved. The famous banking
halls thus will be retained, and it is
suggested that the amenities of the
garden court should be preserved by
leaving a larger open court in the
center Of the site. III addition to the
old rooms q similar series OF top-
lighted offices around The site will be
continued.

Another Impetus Needed
To Strengthen Friendship
Now, sixteen years after Roots
memorable trip, another impetus is re-
quired to push Pan-Americanism for
ward to position Of permanent
strength that will last through the
long years to come. Not that Pam
Americanism has waned since the days
of Root but that it has, gradually
grown, with occasional sethacks, some
of which are even strong in their in
fluence to-day, until it requires from
the present Secretary ~ef State that
added support which any big policy OF
principle demands when its opportuni-
ties and responsibilities have largely
expanded. Every great forward move
ment has to go through its trials. 1t
must experience serious difficulties be-
cause it has a serious significance for
the welfare of nations and people.
Like all world movements of an effort
making and far1ung character, affect
ing the relations, standing, policies
and prosperity of mighty peoples.
Pan-Americanism has it's vigorous as
sailants, and even violent enemies.
Otherwise everybody would be suspi-
cious of it, and it might fail or fall
through it's own too highly laudcd
good quality.
Secretary Hughes is in an exception
al position, official and personal, to pro
mote wisely and surely the cause of
an-Americanisn. No Secretary of
State since Root has so completely en-
joyed the confidence and respect of the
New-York tribune., 1922-08-20

ity. Everything that he has said or
done since he became Secretary Of
State has impressed Latin America
with his wisdom, fairness and genuine
desire to do the right thing. Some
Latin American statesmen and editors
do not agree with ali he has said and
done, but they express respect for him
and honor him. They recognize that
he is great international, as we'll as
national statesman, and that he never
would stoop to do voluntary injustice
to any LatinAmerican country. Even
in Mexico, despite the fact that the
Mexican Government and people may
not be pleased with his delay in advis-
ing the Immediate recognition of their
government, one hears from Mexico no
influential reflection on his high pur-
pose and his honesty of attitude.
AS far as Mexico is concerned there
is, in fact, probably no man in the
United States more anxious than he to
recognize that country, but he must

To-day there are only few real dis
turbing influences in the Pan American
family, and yet there are dangers that
must be recognized These difficulties
are all capable of adjustment under
the wise guiding influence of Secretary
Hughes. They include the Mexican
problem; the unsatisfactory situation
in Hayti, the Dominican Republic and
Nicaragua, where armed forces are
still present but will be removed as
soon as Secretary Hughes believes that
the best interests of these countries
will be subserved; tIe crisis in Cuba
where he is doing everything in his
power, through the agency of General
Crowder, to strengthen the government
and avoid any kind of armed interven-

Prodig;es Of Memory

The Genoa conference was marked
by an incident which may have no dip
lomatic or political significance, but
which has greatly piqued the interest
of some scientific observers as an ex-
tlaordinary display of memory.
An English woman interpreter i'm
mediately rendered faultlessly, per-
fectly, literally all the Italian speeches,
and French interpreter repeated long
addresses exactly in cadence, tenor.
sound and other qualities of the
speaker. This was, of course. more
than curiosity, but rather phenon-
cnon, making possible deeper insights
in the nature of memory.
The latest researches of such achieve
ments have been communicated by DR..
Hegge, of Christiania, to the "Klinische
Wochenschrift." The record tells of q
German mathematician who one minute
after hearing 204 figures repeats them
faultlessly. Next comes Norwegian
woman philologist who memorized 20a
sgures In iiffy-four minutes and 4o6
figures in 104. minutes. She also could
repeat $50 words put together at ram

had to be cleaned daily. Now, as Jean
Finot had not the money to pay an
office boy, he himself, at an early hour,
with tuckedup sleeves, got broom and
did the work
When an early visitor happened to find
him in this attire Jean Finot, without
losing his sang froid, assuming the at

caller into his office and ask him TO

"Take a seat, please" he would say,

and on entering the Office greeted the

No visitor ever suspected that the
man who had received him, broom in
his hand and his hair disheveled, could
be the same Jean Finot who spoke with
him so easily and authoratively.

PoIltiicaI
Rcenigen Ray Detectives

"There is nothing covered. that shall
not be revealed; and hid, that shall not
be known" So said Jesus of Nazareth;
giving His authority to the same
thought expressed by Horace, "Time
will bring 70 light whatever is hidden;
a thought also familiar in the old say
ing murder will out" But in these
days it will scarcely do to wait the
slow processes of time ine2orahle
though they may be- The increasing
cunning of criminals, aided by the
prostitution of science to their ends,
calls for corresponding ingenuity on
the part of the officers of the law. So
it has come to pass that the Xray of
Roentgen has been mustered into the
detective service. This interesting ap-
plication was recently explained by DR..
Buckley at the Institute for State Medi-
cine of Berlin at the seance of the
Forensic Medical Societ.. As the
Roentgen ray permeates the counter
faited diamonds with more difficulty
than the genuine ones, the latter give
a brighter picture than the former. On
the contrary, genuine and false pearls
are affected in the opposite way.
With the aid of Roentgen ray
examination adulterated -four can be
distinguished from pure -four, as the
substances added for the increase of
weight throw stronger shadows. In the
same way burned bones can be identl-
fed in ashes; otherwise undiscogerabie
LESSONS and foreign bodies can be as
certained without destroying the OBJ
jects of investigation: and apparently
insignificant peculiarities and changes
in the human body can be made visible,
so as to get clue to crimes.

Bureaucratic Germany

According to statistical report of
the Minister of Finance of the German
Reich there are 1,557,7s6 officeholders
of various ranks employed by the
Reich at the expense of the taxpayers.
To-day they cost 44,333 100000 marks
tomorrow, of course, much more). A
simple division in the conjectural
figure Of Germany's total population of
60,000,0o0 shows there is one official to
every thirty-nine Germans, and that
every German (inclusive of babies and
old men) has to pay an average of $50
marks annually for officeholders. But
the officials of the Reich are only a
part of the German bureaucracy. II
to these be added all the provincial
municipal, communal employees such
completed statistics would probably
show that there is one official to every
dozen Germans. and that every Ger
man has to spend one-tenth of his in
come for the beloved bureaucracy.

Was Marcus Aurelius Persecutor?

Christians prosecuted? After Renan,

SEP of Caen, in preface to his just
published edition of his "Pensees," at
the hand of history, contests the state
ments of the savants. According to
him the instructions given by Marcus
Aurelius to the legate of Lyons were
OF a political and not religious ma
ture. Besides the prince was then ill,
and it was impossible for him to con-
trcl the legate's reports. Several texts
intimate that Marcus Aurelius alle-
waited certain measures taken against
the Christians and that those which he
dictated were perhaps exceeded. The
discussion bears ON very remote facts.
If Marcus Aurelius had had foreknowl-
edge of the controversy he would un-
doubtediy have cried with Aatisthenes:

According to Broad's plan. every

TRIP

The annual meeting Of the North
Central Brown Swiss Breeders' asso-
citation was held last Tuesday at the
court house, a large number of mem
bers being present. In the absence
of the president, Frank Stefel, the
vice president, Oscar Schultz, called
the meeting to order.
Officers were elected following the
reading of the minutes by Secreta-
ry W. A. Drollinger as follows: 0s-
car Schultz, Merrill, president: Frank
Stefel, Tilleda, vice president; Will
liam Drollinger, Auburndale. secreta-
ry-treasurer, and A. f. Joswiak, town
of Cassel, and Herman Dittmar, Wau-
sau, together with the officers, direc-
tors.
Plan Trip
The organization will enjoy a trip
to southern Wisconsin next summer
according to plans that have been
made by County Agent Cole, of Lincoln
county, and that were approved by
the convention. A committee on ar
rangements consists of Messrs A. F..
Joswiak, town of Cassell, chairman;
Frank Stefel, Tilleda; w. A. Drollin-
ger, Auburndals; Oscar Schultz, Mer-
rill, and Harris Dudley, Gleason.
Several very excellent talks were
made before the association, among
them addresses by County Agents W.

tine, of the department of animal hus-
bandry, University of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Collentine urged the Brown
Swiss breeds to mix more and to have
county show of their herds. In this
way, he declared, they would build
up general interest in Brown Swiss
cattle. Wisconsin is the leading
Brown Swiss state the speaker
showed. Mr. Collentine expressed
himself as very much in favor of the
T. b. tests that are being conducted
throughout the Badger state.
