Time has justified this forecast nnd found within it not egoism, but clairvoyance nnd unaffected conviction, Sentimentality has nlso played its part in furthering the tradition that Keats, neither spiritually nor physicnlly, was nble to sur vive the slashing attacks of British reviewers on the early manifestations of Ills genius But the fact thut It was after these adverse judgments that the youthful poet's wings bravely snared to their loftiest flights ex poses the fallacy of this mlidlrccted sym pathy. The tragedy of the life of .lohn Kente, which ended In Komn 100 jears ugo today, lies in the simple and solemn fact of its brevity.

SECRETARY COLBY PUTS THE LEAGUE TO THE TEST If It Ignores His Protest on the Meso potamia.! Mandate Its Loyalty to tne Principles of Equity Will Be In Doubt IT WO( LI be a mistake for am oii to assume that the I'nitoil States has for leited its right to protest against iiny uctlon of the ("outn-il of the League of Nations bv its failure to enter that lengue. There nre certain priiuiples for whih the I'liited States lias i intended whli li this nation cannot consent shall be invalidated by the concerted ai tion of any group of other nations It Is to defend those principles that Sec retary t'olby has sent a note to the league council now in session in 1'nris The note is described ns virtually identical with th" note which he sent to Lord I'ur.oti, the British foreign secretnv.t. last November, asking that n copy of the Mesopotamia!! mntidnte b' submitted to the I'tilted States. The British Government did not answer that note, but suggested that the proper pro cedure was for this government 'a deal directly with the league. li will be recalled thut the .November note PioU'Sted against the currently reported intention to limit the liihts of outside na tion in Mesopotamia. Whether the 1'nitcd States be a member of the league or not, that protest is justified It is in accordance with the historic policy of the I'nited States to insist on the open door in all undeveloped nnd scmieivillzed countries John Hay fought for it in China and secured its acceptance, and thereby postponed if he did not prevent altogether In tlinatened dismemberment of that em pire It Mas bivnuse of its belief in the open door bar the I'nited States, through its representatives, fought for it in the 1'eace Conference Mr Colby in his note calls attention 'o this when he says, "I need hardly refi r again to the fact that the gov ernment of th- I'nited States has consistently urged that it is of the utmost importance to the future peace of the world that alien ter ritory transform! as a result of the war with the i entral powers should bo held nnd administered in such a way as to assure equal treatment to the commerce and to tin citizens of nil rjations." He refuses here to admit that the man date section of the league oivennnt ex -i hides any nation from equal rights in the territory under mandate, even though flint section savs that such territory should b administered so as to "secure equal oppor tisnitics for trade and .omtnerce of other members of the league." To admit tha' n grnip of nnfiym inn monopolize for their oirn hevrpt certain tir n'orf 'rtnrh doc not bcmin to thrrn to the rrclution of all other nation irould be to prepare the tray for firo or tlm po ce-rul nations to make a combination to monopolize the undcrilopcd reioiirtri of the world. So Secretary Colby, in protesting against the rumored plan to monopolize the resoun es of Mesopotamia, is speaking for nil the little najions as well us asserting a fundamental I principle of international relations which !must be respected if tb verv put pose of the League of Nations to discourage war is tint to be vitiated. . After laying flown the genera, prin.-ipv Mr Coliiv insisted that the t'niled States has speiilic rights m the premise-, The I allid and associated nations have no -ights over the territory to be subjected to mandate I save as they grew out of the war. Cone- ' quenti- the I'nited Statis a, a participant in that lonlliet and ns a mntributor to its sue, e.sfnl issue, "cannot.' says Mr. Colby, consider nnv of the nssoc iated powers, the smallest not less than itself, debarred from the discission of any of its consequences or from participation in the iuhts and privi leges secured under the mandates provided for in tlie treaty of peine Mr Colbv's argument in brief is that the ritjhts of the T'nitrd States und of everv othr nation must be respected under the g"nera! principle of the open door, which it was understood wus to be guaranteed by the nations taking over territory under mandate and that the I'nited States and everv other nation which participated in seiuting the vii tnrv or the central powers h.iie a spei ifil rignt to be heard when the maiitn r of goi eminent of the mandated te.-iiton is o be tiecl These latter rights grow out of the participation of the nations in the w,i- und an not dependent on unv ngn-vment into j - h h a part of the nation- may hav m. i fered In short, the failure of the I'tnted Statis to enter the i.f.igii' or .Nations no's not rnan that it hna forfeited nnv of its -'gilts to be consulted Thosi rights grow in part out of its participation in the war and a-e not dependent on am tnuf ngi. me-nts I lw hole 'i ill ' iii- ouiiit -fliCi ',.e 'ulnar il i' la fit hi i n tiitrii up In tin time The purpose of the league, as laid down in the e ivenant is "to promote international lo-operation und to acliieic international pence and en urity In the acceptance of obligations not to resort tu war. hi the presi-ript-iiii of open, just and honorable re lation tu 'Hem nations bi tin- firm estnli !ihmen' of the understanding of inter national ' as the in tunl rule of condic t among goiernnients. and by tfte iiiinntenaiic e of iut.i c and scrupulous respc t for all treatv ob'igations :n the eleulings of or gammed peoples with one another If the i ocindl now in session in I'aris .g liores the expiess wish of the I'mred Stutes lo be i .insulted iu framing th Mesopotamia!! mandate it will abandon the high purposes set forth in the preamble to the loienant ! wooid be easy to argue tin m, cmis w.iuiil not ha- arisen if the S. nafe hud latiried the p"ace treatv, but tnnt does n.it necissaiil folhiw If the mandate is fruiind in such ." wm as to gin spe, ml jirnileges to tin British in the mandatm i territory, the protest would have had to be rniuje eien if the I'nited States had h-en a member ,,f tin- l.-ague Indeed, the ptotit is h.ised on it determination that the prim it!' of equitv nn which the league unenant i. based m not he forgotten in a si ramble for spec ml priulegfs by one or two of tin lug nations And it is based, too. on an app.-c-intion f the fact (hat the representing es of the I'nited States participated in bringing about a recognition of those principles hi the nn tions wild h won the victory oei the central power We hate i-i' foif''eil our i-Ignls in any pa nil": hi' 'I ' i -isfed before the rr nn' thei- r-nv i n nsi'ted on "V ipn ntlr i .. , ,n EVENING -PUBLIC liEDOBIWPHILABBLPHlA, WEDNDAYf FEBRUARY - - - - ' ' .

To shine at garden parties nnd drink tea with grace anil to he absent -minded in the presence of nil realities? Should he be an ambassador of trade or n person qualified to impress tho dukes nnd to cultivate their .special friendship and one who can look n king coldly in tho eye without trembling? Or should he he, on the other hand, n man with u shirt Hlecv manner, a pntroulzlng air and a hublt of waving his country's ling in the face of all other peoples, a dealer In nice platitudes, u good talker without the uncomfortable habit of consistent thought? The answer to nil this is. of course, simple. An nmbnssndor should be none of these things exclusively, though b fone of necessity he bus at various times to borrow or assume some of the supeitlcinl character istds uf the Mirious suggested types. The good ambassador nnil he is an iufn quent phenomenon --in n sensitive, wis and sym pathetic interpietcr between nation and nation Wlu-nc-ier a new President -elect is pre paring to go into office the countrv begins to think again of wnys in which the diplomatic seivlie can he Improved, it ri-sohes to do better. There is mi urge in the public- liTilul that might be described in the brisk lan guage of business as a Better Ambassadors Moiement. Editors nnd public men of nil sorts encourage it nnd talk deeply of its general important c. Mr. Harding ilesnes greatly to obtain for his country better rep leseiitation in foreign lauds. All President s begin with that hope. Their desires ure easily understood Iliplomatisfs graduated from the Euio peuti schools of empire and intrigue haie loo often hern little better than sptes at the s.ts of neighboring governments. When tliey have not been getting their own fioiern- . ments into trouble or out of it they lime been apologists for grievous errors done In foolish people higher up, nllnyers of sus picion, smoothers down of touchy or of! ended neighbors. The I'nited States, because of its i om parative freedom from international political complexities such ns trouble Europe, has been able to experiment with a more whole some method of diplomacy. it hns tried many styles The shirt-sleeve statesman was never the success th-it he was cracked up to be. Peo ple had a habit uf staring at him. He couldn't b emphatic with liny success be cause emphasis, was supposed to be his every day habit. Styles in diplomacy will ihange inevitably with the tunes There were periods when world politics was mixed freely with tea and ices at ex. lusive nlons in the Old World. It has passed, perhaps forever, nnd governments seeking adequately to represent themselves in other nations will have to huve men in their service who can know the masses ns well ns the few who move in the circles of the anointed Old rules of the diplomatic game have ceased to run Much has been written, for example, in praise f the English habit of training men upward aimnst from the cradle for the fmeign missions of the empire.. A survey of lecent history suggests, however, that the Britisher abroad that is. the Britisher trained and groomed through long years for the diplomatic service may yet prove to belong in the list of failures. Lord Bryce was the most conspicuous representative of another and fnr different tvpe of British ambassador. He was un schooled in the conventional rules of ,is office. He shared none of the traditions of the otlic in! "ruling e-hiss " H,. was, instead, a scholar, a sensitive man ami a great hu manitarian He did more to make England understood to contemporary America and more to make America understood in ICng land than all the British ambassadors who I"" i''d him in Washington. Bryce. learned. Uindh. honorable and tolerant, with a mind of infinite breadth, was the ideal amh.-is.n-dnr But Biyces are raie. There are too few of them in England. America and else where lierard. lira rid Whitlock and Itolar.d S Morris lone had sip cesses in foreign Tmsts Mvnn T. Hert-ick was a success nt Pan's, and it is goea to hear that he may go back! But in lati r years we have had no'nne of the dimensions which Hnv. Bayard and Chelate ii-hieved in London. The great ambaadnr of tin- tvpe of Hav or Bryce is ns hard to find ns a realh great President. And even when h" is found he is often unable to enter the sen ice of the country. Congress doesn t like to spend money on the diplomatic seri It has always preferred ambassadors who will spend their own. An ambassador with out monev to speud and a fine house m live in would be a curiositv nnd n rather unhappv spec tacle nt n capita in Europe. So finally. t're work of improving the diplomntii s..rvice must begin with a more liberal attitude in Cemsre.s I'ntil Congress loosuns up. so to spin!;. Mr Ilnrding. lilto nil the Presi,, nts who huie preceded him. will hae on! n 1 iinfecl .-hoi. e when he goes sec-king me i, f,,r iii.portarit foreign posts. THE ALIEN BILL COMPROMISE THE agreement of the Senate and House mnferees on the limited immigiation bill .- perhaps parih due to the tvphus sc -er" iliicti has exposed the physical impossibility of maintaining a proper survey of tin- tied of newcomers nt the nation's seaport gateways.

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT How Good Executives Are Stultified by 8tamp-L.lcklng Details and the Remedies That Suggest Themselves Ily SAItAII I). LOWB1E I ASKED a strapping young curate the other day if they kept him ns busy in the parish ns they had one of his predecessors whom I had Known. "Busy, yes," he said, dubious over my grin. "I'm busy, of course, but how do you mean?" "Well." said I, "I mean busy licking stumps!" He guve o great laugh iind then looked rueful. "I spend half my time doing what n stenographer would do far better, and ns u consequence 1 never rntch up with the parish visiting, never read and seldom go anywhere outside consequently I have lost touch with things." "You must be n queer preacher." I sale). "I'm n rotten one!" said he. I elu not believe he is, hut it Isn't his rec tor's fnult or the vestry's fault if he is a good erne. To use a man that lias special ized for eight years on being n scholar nml n power among men ns though he were half ids time a director of envelopes nnd card cataloguer and a distributor of parish leaflets s not good economics. It is like wasting the time of nurses who are in training nt a hospital In scrubbing the wards and cleaning out tho pails and buckets or setting an expert accountant at tilling the inkstands and replacing the b'otters. BECAl'SE u man or n woman volunteers to give his or her life to serve humanity its n religious worker it does not follow that they should lie down nnd make door mats of themselves with "salve" for all who use them. Yet I nctuully heard a good woman, flic suit of the earth, protest today because she was uiked to subscribe money toward the .salary of a stenographic secretary who would do the clerical work involved by the gilts and the business .meeting of the board members of 111(1 parishes who meet monthly in five large assemblies to hear re-ports and lo s"nd money and gifts. These report are from hundreds of mission stations in this eotintry and in foreign countiles. and the sift generally bestoyed in sinnll sums, but amounting to thousands-have to he in kllowleelged. banked, rechecked. lepoited and entered on anywhere from two to four hook for future reference Every one (if the hundreds of women attending these monthly meetings bus to be notified of the date and has to have her absence or pres ence noted nnd filed. Every sudden call for an extra service or need or speeiul con feience has to he typed, mimeographed, di rected, stamped and malted. The stationery, blanks, printing, bookkeeping and petty cash ai-cotints have to he kept dally up-to-date. The minutes of the meetings anil the eoin mittee lepnrts have to lie typed Hiid kept ready for instant reference. In order that there shall be team plav uinotig the varying boards, some centrol office with a phone is nei i ssary. Tlieie must be oiue one quali fied to answer that phone. A volunteer secretary or treasurer who knows only tho afinirs of one division cannot answer the questions regarding another division. Vol unteers, however disinterested, ennnot be counted upon to spend every day of every week at anv office, however central. Muny volunteers have- to have one person who is 1 1 sponsible for their keeping to schedule tune If that person i u volunteer like themsehes she is like themselves subject? to other ngttgemeuts. WHEN you aro dealing with other pei sons' gilts of money or with other persons' needs of money you linve undertaken a busi ness that admits of no neglect A clerk whose financial books were not kept up-to-date- or u e-lerk who fnilf-d to answer the day's order mail on schedule time would de serve dlsinis-snl. Because a volunteer Christian has engaged on eloing business for the church he is not exempt from daily ex actness as to accounts and as to business letters on missionary affairs. He must do one of two things: see that the clerical de tails of that (hurch business nie attended to by a competent clerk or he must do the clerical work himself with the; exactness uf a competent clerk. KZ: (W as n matte! of fait veri fe-w lolun seiretnrial stenographer nnd accountant along the line- of clerical business, so they take much longer to accomplish the work nt a greuter personal strain nnd with a poorer result. Very few volunteers can give as much time as is needed to accomplish what has to be done, so they must either supple ment by calling in other volunteers or scamp the job. The calling in of other toluntcir takes time nnd persuasion and tcinliiiig In the i-nd the notices nil get sent out, but four women hale done cluiiiHlli wtiat one woman would haie done quickly anil as part of the dai's work.
