BRITISH EMPIRE. AMERICA AND FUTURE
OF THE WORLD

man waste Europe as Asia Minor was
wasted by Byzantine and Persian in
a futile search for a kind Of suprem-
world. They are like rivals who
fight for a woman already dead and
decayed.
Europe Not The World.
Continental Europe is being deso-
lated and destroyed by intellectual
incapacity, by the failure to recog-
nize the obsolescence of its political
ideas and traditions. But Europe is
not the world, nor will its decline and
fall be the end of the human story.
In the United States of America, In
this so-called British empire, and
now in the United States of Russia,
we must recognize q breaking away
from tradition complete as when the
Roman empire broke away from the
forms and traditions of any previous
political synthesis. These new sys-
TENS arise not to inherit but to su-
persede.
1t is this conception of the history
Of the world during the last four
centuries as being essentially in it's
broadest aspects a belated, forced,
and largely unconscious process OF
political adaptation to changing con-
ditions, of vast subconscious and un-
willing trials and experiments in new
and greater political associations to
replace that formerly dominant i'm
perial idea, that I wish to put before
my readers. 1t carries us on to the
further realization that since the
process OF change in communications
is only now approaching some sort
Of limiting completion the now po-
litical systems that have appeared
cannot be considered as anything but
preliminary and transitory systems.

wasteful subjection for two or three
centuries yet; but the Pax Mundi
waits at the end of the passage.
A man holding these opinions
must necessarily judge the present
British empire without any fanatical
LOYALTY, critically as a possible half
way house or a possible obstacle to
a more comprehensive and enduring
synthesis. It is not really the same
thing as the British empire" of 1923,
which was a string of trading posts
and areas of economic preponderance
about the world, plus John Com
pany's fantastic acquisition Of the
derelict rule of the Great Mogul.
The bulk of the present British "em-
uire" was created and held together
by the steamship. This rendered
possible the transfer of considerable
masses of population to new terri
tories and the importation of bulky
staples, of such things as wheat and
cattle across great stretches of
ocean. The dominions were made by
the steamship and the telegraphic
cables and they constitute the fresh
est, most peculiar feature OF the
present British imperial system.
Colonies the world has known be-
fore. but neither the Greek nor
Phoenician colonies of the old world
nor the American colonies of the
eighteenth century were linked
closely and abundantly enough to the
mother country to prevent a final
estrangement and detachment. The
British dominions today are, on the
contrary, kept in touch and more and
more effectively kept in touch with
each other and the mother country.
Their mutual relationships are un-
precedented.- Their unity may be en-
during.

It has Detitioned the ministry of the interior to change its designation to Borisovo, in honor of the king.
 Slavovitza is especially resentful because amboulisky, within month or two of the tragedy in which his life ended ordered the seizure of a considerable part of its communal land and distributed it among gyp- sies, to induce them to settle down and take up agriculture. An echo of this seizure was heard when Stam- boulisky was attacked by villagers, including people from Slavovitza. One of the remarks directed at Stam- boulisky in that time was: You have devoured our land; now our land will devour you"
 In their petition to the ministry of the interior. the cillagers of Slavo- vitza bitterly attack the fallen pre- mier's memory as an enemy of the state. the church and the peasants.

GETTING OTHERS TO
 DO THINGS FOR YOU

The girls simply won't do things when I ask them to exclaimed the newly appointed head stenographer perulantly. They're supposed to get their instructions from me, yet they persist in going to Miss Boyle, who really isn't supposed to tell them what to do."
 I was interested enough to get to the bottom of the trouble so I asked the head stenographer to give some instructions to one of the girls that l might hear and watch her methods.
 After I had observed her for a few seconds, l knew the reason. She did not know how to get others to work for her. She commanded, Issued orders in a more or less dictatoriai fashion, and naturally the others resented her peremptory manner.
 The way to get others to do things for you, girls, is not to order them, nor to command. It Is to request If you assume an "I-want-y you to -do- this tone, the inclination of the other person is to resent your manner. If, however, you take "would-you- mind doing this" tone, you will be surprised how much more willing people will be to do things for you.
 There is another secret of getting others to work for you. It Is this: Give them credit for some intellig- eHCe, anu even II IL IS necessary TOT you to issue exact instructions as to how work should be done, pretend. even if it Is not necessary, to ask their advice. You make a person feel an interest ad a responsibility in a job if you take more or less talk it-over tone.
 Instead of approaching him In this way: John, here Is a job Iwant you to do," you will get more and better work by saying: John. here's some work I'm wondering If you'll help me out on. Now what do you think about doing it such-and- such a way?' If you will only ask people to do things, enlist their aid and assistance instead of ordering them to do it, you will get far better cooperation.
 Just watch any of the big men on top. Observe the way they Issue or ders. They don't command in "here : dog-do thisf for-me" tone, but request cooperation in a polite, kindly way.
 Some one once remarked that the way person issues orders imme- diately stamps him as broad or petty minded. It Is only tyrant who, at heart is not quite sure of himself. who feels 1t necessary to put up a big front by pretending to domineer others. The person who feels sure of
