the presentation OF views which At
torney General Cummings has now
upheld. The question decided Ia one
of vital consequence to American trade
representatives, missionaries, soldiers,
sailors and other Government servants
stationed abroad, many Of whom marry
alien spouses and have children born
outside Uncle Sans domain. Under
laws effective since the beginning OF
the Republic the children Of American
fathers, although born abroad, have
been United States citizens, but prior
to this new act as now interpreted,
the children Of foreign father and an
American mother were rated as aliens.

That politics makes strange bedfel-
lows is an old adage which Is ever re-
ceiving new Illustration. It aptly ap-
plies TO Republican whispers family
heard at the moment with respect TO
the great Borah Of Idaho-the whisper
that the Eastern and ostensibly con-
servative wing of the Republican party
is thinking of Senator Borah In terms
Of the presidential nomination two
years hence, and thinking of him with
favor. Borah, in his long political
career, has long been regarded as q
presidential possibility, yet never even
remotely approached presidential
nomination. Today he Is the only
living Republican with q national
reputation as nberai-the only
critic Of the new deal TO whom the
new dealers dare not apply the epithet
TORY" II, as and when the so-called
effete East and big business offer
Borah as their leader TO lead the Re-
publican party back to power-and II
is perfectly tenable hypothesis
then, indeed. may the eighth wonder
OF the political world be proclaimed.

cealed, grief over the loss by death OF
his three closest friends on earth was,
in reality, what hastened him to hts
own grave; that In q word, the Am

triple stroke. all within the space OF
little more than year, was frst the
death OF his father-in-law, q dis
tinguished member Of the French
Parliament; second the tragic death
of King Albert of Belgium, to whom
the Ambassador was closely and inti-
mately attached. and third, the death
Of Count Francois de Buissert, former
attache Of the embassy here, and to
whom the Ambassador was deeply de-
voted, and who died In Rome shortly
after his transfer to the Belgian EN-
