Prior to the war the trip from Washing.
ton to Persia consumed seventeen days
The quickest route was to Havre by fast
steamship, to Constantinople by the Orient
Express, steamship transportation across
the Black Sea to Batum, rail to Baku, on
the Caspian, short journey on that inland
sea to Resht and by wheeled conveyance or
pack train seventy miles due south to
Tcheran.
Owing TO demoralizcd transportation con.
ditions and political circumstances In the
Baku -Batum region. now under Bolshevist
protection" Mr.. Cornfeld was forced to
travel by way of Egypt and thence by
routes more picturesque than speedy to
Bagdad and from there into Central Persia
still without railways, to the capital.
lt has been reported that during Mr..
Bryan's incumbency of the Secrctaryship of
State deserving Democrat who had been
named Minister to Tcheran rushed indig-

following his appointment, and propounded
this startling question, "Do you know

upon to answer this inquiry in the light of
intimate and nrduous personal experience.

Mr.. JOHNSON IN ERROR

ANY ONE who takes properly imaglns-
"A tive view of the great fair project and
pauses TO consider the moral and practical
possibilities Of an international exposition
IN times like these will disagree sharply with
Alba y. Johnson's suggestion that a man
aging committee Is preferable TO "a merely
ornamental director In chief.
Whether a director Of the fair would be
IN ornament or driving force for unprece-
Asnted achievements would depend wholly on
the character and equipment OF the indi
v1dual selected. A committee might be ex-
pected TO navigate ship-w!th some diff =
Guilty. A committee might be able to direct
an army in the field or run business or do
the work OF the President Of the United
States. But committees are not relied on
for such work because it has been demon
strated by long human experience that no
organization Of men IS susceptible to the
quality of Inspiration.
Committees are not Imaginative bold or
capable Of tnspirat!onal effort. They are,
on the contrary, useful IN and out Of busi-
ness as checks and anchors T." control and

as Mr.. johnson has in mind are useful only
as forces Of inhibition and control. They
seldom are forces of incentive.
