Everybody wants America's ear Three so cial secretaries and a squad of motor dispatches would be re quired to avoid social errors, and land a correspondent promptly at all the functions to which he is invited. And he would have no time for anything so prosaic as the plenary sessions of the Pea ce Conference. Everything from Beishazzar to the Bolsheviki is discussed at these soeial functions. Corres pondents ae whisked from Niw Guinea to vNova Zembla without warning.. Ptolemy and Pompey are resurrected and discussed at such length that -one might sus pect they narrowly missed being selected as delegates to the Paris conference. Ancient Greece and Rome no longer seem ancient. Philip of Macedon suddenly become mod ern. Persian poets sing of their country's proper boundaries with all the charm of Omar Khayyam. The Old Testament is introduced as a modern bit of literature de signed to establish certain ter ritorial claims. Countries and peoples' ar? dis covered at these conferences that American school geographers ap parently hadn't heard of; and e veu the geographical specialists employed by the various mission to the Paris Conference are mys tified. It's a rare occasion when a delegation descends to a period as modern as that of Charlemag ne or Pepin the Great in making claims for the right of self-determination. Sanskrit and Arabic are reviv ed 'diblv in an effort, to establish the consanguinity of certain peo ples. Ancient philosophers are quoted in their original tongues. Aug lo-Saxons are reminded of the. perfect civilization which ex isted in the Orient five thousand years before fin' Christian "era. Names which the "raw civiliza tion of Western ivnrope never heard of are rolled off glibly names which the Americans try- i ing to make the world safe for democracy and that speedily, do ii ot want to hear. Such claims as that of Belgium jfor a readjustment of her rela ! tions with Holland come as a real relief to dazead newspaper men and weary delegates. That ' controversy only dates back to !lS31, to the scrap of paper which 'Germany probably would not 'tear up so ruthlessly if she could jlive the last five years over again. ! Discussions of the Near Eastern questions are much the same, whe ther they be in the drawing room of the Prim-" of Hedjaz or the 1 meetings of the Big-Five at the Quai d'Orsay. They are reminis jent of weary classroom days with Homer, Herodotus, and Vir gil. Efforts to interest busv men in antiquity seem futile. Delega tes doze through the exposition of ancient history and correspon dents long for brief statements j throwing light upon the recent history and apirations of the var ious peoples who have lived in such discord for centuries a long the shores of the Mediterranean. Mrs. S. B. Kitchen left on the morning train for Norfolk on a visit.
