Youth

Becomes Ranking Memberof the Washington ColonyThrough the Departure of

Herr von HollebenC-

ount Cassini Russian ambassadorbecomes dean of the Diplomatic Corpsan Washington through the recall of

Herr von Holleben who preceded himin that dignity

Count Cassinis advancement bringsadditional honors to a man who haswon great distinction In the Russianforeign service through the devotion ofhis entire life to affairs of state

Many tasks fall to the dean of theDiplomatic cCorps The position is farfrom a sinecure But the honor whichattaches to it more than repays thedean for the added duties

When Herr von Helleben leftCount Cassini became the acting

dean of the corps and with the withdrawal of Herr von Hollenben the Russian ambassador became the permanentdean

The Service Here and Abroad

The scratch of the Presidents penmakes a diplomatist in the UnitedStates

Important posts are entrusted to menWhose only qualification for the positions are that they won wards of certaincities over to the party in power or de-

livered stump speeches which savedsome Congressman from defeat Diplom-acy is not looked on by Americans as aprofession It Is a diversion in whichonly those can engage who have politi-cal influence

Americans are prepared with greatcare for the army and the navy but theGovernment offers few opportunities tomen who desire to prepare for the consular service And the fierce politicalfight for the desirable places in foreigncountries makes the chances for the reward of good services so uncertain thatcapable men hesitate to enter it

Yet TL spite of the uncertainty of theservice the United States has manyreally capable representatives in foreignlands who are wisely directed by theSecretary of State who has the Idealtraining for his position

Training in EuropeThe United Stutes has much to learn

from Europe concerning its diplomaticservice Thestudy of the career of anambassador like Count Cassini the Russian privy counselor and master of theImperial court shows the care withwhich Europeans are prepared for theforeign service and makes the weakness-of the American system more evident

BOUNDARY DISPUTE

Possession Not Called Into Ques-

tion England Until 1886-

A new and interesting point em-phasized by the Hon John W Foster Inthe brief of the Alaskan boundary dispute submitted to the British

Friday through the embassyhere relates to the peaceful possession-of the land in dispute from the time ofthe purchase of Alaska from Russia

1886It Is said to be shown in the brief

by quotations from various state papersthat Great Britain did not dispute thepossession of the United States until 1886 The archives of the War Stateand Navy Departments and the

of Interior are said to have yield-ed much matter which was included inthe brief in proof of this point

The purposes of the treaty betweenGreat Britain and Russia in 1825 arecarefully reviewed and it is shown thatthe coast of the mainland and not thecoast of islands was to be taken as thebasis for establishing the boundary

The English brief In the casewas filedFriday in London with the American ambassador and will be forwardedhere without delay July 2 is the datefixed for the filing of the documentsof both governments in answer to thebriefs Just presented On September 3

the commission will meet in Londonto arbitrate the dispute concerning theboundary
