FOR DAVIS CUP

f.srociation announced this afternoon
that the Biitish isles had challenged

AN EMBASSADORS
Boston Trunscript.
In spite if the cable, in spite of
the hearings given to the press, in
spite of the whole rattle and bang
of "open diplomacy," it seems that
even an American embassador, of
this later day can invent a nice lit
tle game against his own country
anc' "get away with it." The English
papers are chortling gayly over a
little stcrv that bus come out in the
late Walter II. Page's letters, which
are appearing in the World's Work
Mr. Page, as embassador at London,
was working hard on the sine of the
allies, before the United States en
tered the war, and writing to Presi
dent Wilson and Col. House all about
it. lie was particularly distrustful,
it seems, ,,f Secretary Lansing, or at
least of his defense of thy rights of
American ships at sea as against the
interference of the Britih cruisers.
Keicrnng to Lansing, he wrote to
Col. House that "the curse of the
world is little men who for an im
agined temporary advantage throw
away the long growth of good will
nurtured by wise and patient men."
But it must have been Mr. Bryan
who was his game in the circum
stances to be related, for it is said
to have taken place in January, 1915
and Mr. Lansing u'id not become sec
retary of state ur.til June of that
year. It happened that in January
the steamship Dacis in;; ouf shores
with a cargo of cotton for Germany.
It was before the full application of
the ble;-Kad'e. The Dacia, it appeared
had been- bought from the Germans
by an American citizen of German
:i;gm, and' ha'd icccivcd American
U i registry. As matte: s stoo l, she h:t'd
r.cvou.'.ng to ' our inii i pretation of
international law, the light of nts
fart' Thf ' nritish'Tfnn'eH' wanttf'
to stop her, but Mr. Bryan had made

"Prosperity is Just Around' the
Ooiner."
T,he words in quotation marks were
used in an attractive advertisement
inserted in' the Asheville Citizen in
the 'Rotary club prosperity campaign
put'ort by the New York Rotnry
club'i The ' j.pace was bought and
paid for by the Asheville club.
Such reading as the forego'ng helps.
the deep diplomacy of Mr. Pa'ge
stepped in as against his own super
ior in office. "Don't you think,'' he
saiC niivately to Sir Edward iGrey
"that the French fleet ought to have f
a little advertising: l ms, or course
was equivalent to saying, "Let the
Ii emh seize the Dacia. and nobody
'n America will say a word. And so
it turned out; the "tip" was p,iven to
l ranee. A French cruiser seized the
Dacia. "without exciting a r urmuv
in America'," as the London Specta
tor puts it.
If memory seiwes aright, thore was
a considerable murmur over the-. Da-c-ia's
seizure, but the point cf the
matter is the somewhat startling
liberl.j which the embassador
. London to'ok in suggesting
this course for her seizure. It seems
is we have suggested, that there
rtm is. particularly m time ot war a
certain opportunity for ingenious de
vices that, lie well between the lines
of lecordod diplomatic intercourse.."
