i | IS ENDED i y 1% EDWARD GREY WILL AGAIN RULE ENGLAND. i Niko -------- His Diplomatic Trinmph -- Despises | Popularity = Grey's . Industrial Policy--A Lover of Solitude. . There is a concensus that #reat man in Esgland in the past month, the big man Ii: Eurgpe, has been Sir Edward Grey: - Now that the war has begun he steps aside, and Kitchener manages the nation. Grey will come to the front again . when the time comes to discuss terms of peace, and no voice in Eu- pe will be so decisive as his, Pro- t Grey knows already what he will ny. He does not speak on the #pur of the moment. No man-in (he Wbeitish cabinet has had the respect and admiration of bis political op- 'pupents to such an extent as Sir Kd- ward Grey, and one reason is that hie bas shown himself less a partis an than any of his colleagues. It is true that upon occasion he has proved that he can use the cudgel of partisanship as effectively as the ra - pler of diplomacy, but it has been plain enough that he prefers to re Juan aloof from the ordinary squab- les of government. Another reg son for the re t of the Unionists is the firm attitude of Grey in hand ling foreign afairs! As regards Ger many especially, his attitude has been courteous, but unbending. I was Grey who made the kaiser with draw from the position he had taken at Agadir. Grey, too, has always been more than friendly to Russia and under his auspices the relations between Britain and France have be- come what they are to-day. In fact, be has done what the Union iste would have done in foreign af- fairs had there béen a unionist gov- ernment in office. A Diplomatic Triumph. Writing from London to the Bos ton Transcript, J. P. Collins speaks of receiving a letter from the "lea- der 'writer of the wost conservative and imperial of our leading mornigg papers", in whieh he says; "1 malt nothing any longer to say again the men who are in power, They are doing splendidly." Whatever may be the outcome of the war, it is impossible to deny that the diploma- tic triumph of Sir Edward Grey i: #lready complete. It is chiefly due tc Grey that Britons can boast thai they have gone into this war to safe guard the futegrity of their smaller neighbors, and to fulfill , a pledge which they were urged to break, Sir * Bdward Grey has been able to show the world that the present war is due to the ruthlessness of the emper- or of Germany, The recent "white paper" issued by the British govern- ment ix perhaps the greatest docu entary testimonial to a foreign mi ter that was ever issued. He Despises Popularity. "It may be that one of the reascns AO IBANY ARID PI he ve © onrect 5 Shr Edward Grey 1s because he does not care for them. He is never to be found in gatherings where his party is celebrating a victory. He avoids the crowds, and cheers and eulogy make him uncomfortable. This qual- ity of modesty and reticence is ob servable In his speeches. He never made an oration or a peroration in his life. He says what he has to say in the fewest possible words, and then sits down, The speech he de- livered in the house of commons the day that Britain declared war on Germany wae almost as free from emotion as the report of a commer cial traveler, but yet it rang with what Matthew Aruold called "high and ent seriousness." Another #peech that shows Grey at his best was delivered four years ago to workingmen at Darlington on the problems and trials of industrialisni. In it he said: "Disorderly methods are fatal to 'progress. Nothing provokes men more than the belief that their point of view is not understood. So long as they think thui™ no argument af fects them, and they are not open 10 Teason. Couvince them they are understood and then they are ready 10 Understand. This, I believe, is what happens when employers and TWELVE the | { employed meet round a table. Mate trial understanding of each other's | difficulties leads to compromise and {a reasonable settlement. The diffi- 'eulty is to make the settlement seem | reasonable to thosé in trade who {have not been through the process {of mutual discussion and wunder- i standing, to convince men that their | delegates or shareholders have come {out of a conference not weaker, but | wiser than when they went in. | Grey's Industrial Philosophy. "There, I believe, we come to one of the great difficulties of modern industrial life--- the awful separa- tion there is between the sharehol- der paying for his share and ex- pecting his dividend and the work- men employed by the limited liabil- ity company and upon whose work that dividend and profit must de- pénd. ow far it is pessible io bridge Over that gulf I cannot say, but I am sure it is both for the em- ployerfs and employed to do all that they can in their respective organi- zations to make the touch of human nature felt between those who re- ceive the dividends and those whose work is essential to the earning of the profits. That is one reason why I believe that the best and most in- telligent firms of employers have welcomed having to deal with trade unions, because by that means, thro' the representatives of the men, they get into touch with the whole body of men, understand their thoughts and difficulties, and so forth. But to maintain that, it is essential that the men themselves should stand by their unions and their organizations. We talk of public spirit as if it only meant the sparing of some effort, the rich from their leisure and the poor from their work, tg give some service to the state, It. means that but it also means doing our own or dinary work well, building up an in dustry, not only to get a livelihood, but also to enrich. the state. The greatness and strength of this coun- try depend upon the prosperity of our industries. Without that it can- not have the resources to be either great or strong. Everyone "whe works in an industry is engaged is public services as well as earning'his own livelihood. He must 'make and maintain a home, that being the first duty of citizenship." A Lover Of Solitude. Gladstone is reported to have said of Grey that he might do anything, but that he chose to go fishing Though this is too witty for Glad- Stone to have said, it illustrates the man's character. He courts solitude and more so than ever since wife's tragic death. He has no chil- dren, and his spare time he spends fishing or wandering through re- mote country places, On one oec- casion he spent a whole night with Roosevelt in the New Forest iden- tifying the various singing birds. No doubt he enjoyed himself more than if he were being cheéred through the streets of London. That he can be premier if he likes is an open secret. It is doubtful if he will accept the honor. It is the work, not the re- d, that attracts him, WOMEN IN HUNGARY. Look After the . Finances of the Household Which They Rule. In war time the agitation for wo- man suffrage goes into a natural state of coma. Then the women are apt to assume an equal position without argument, and the question of their place in the state needs no discussion. But in no country, ap- parently, is women in a better posi- tion to share equally with man the home and state rights than in Hun- gary... Madame Ilona, Timko, a Hungarian in this country, who, in connection with the YW.C.A.,, has done much ior Hungarian immi- grant girls, when interviewed by a representative of the New York Ev- ening Post, paid the following tri bute to her countrywomen and to the men who are not too jealous to give them the respect and admira- tion that they earn: From the highest class to the poor est peasant, the position held by ihe Hungarian woman is one of res- pect and equality. She ig the head of the household, and all the money which the man earns is turned over to his wife, who has full financial control. It isn't at all strange in a hie | Hungarian peasant family to hea the husband ask the wife for a fey cents with which to buy tobacco. The women are consulted on al subjects. In the upper classes Tis man makes a business move or a po | litical move without discussing th. mater with bis wife. Her iudgmen Important to him. And the wo men themselves are bright, clever and keen, interested in all that con cerns their family and their coun try.

One of the favorite stories whicl Hungarian women tell again anc again to their children is the on of the capture of Fort Egri (Egn var bevetele) and how Dobo Katica, the wife of the chief whose territory was being besieged by the Turks, led the women against the invaders. She rode out into the centre I the town and called the women together, ask ing them in the name of their country to arm themselves and fol- low her. They disappeared, and she was afraid for a while that they were not brave or patrietic enough to fight; but snon they returned, ar- med with pit:aforks and stones, and followed her {o where the Turks | were climbing up a rope ladder to is manag ; fro * peaches you - in a sanitary and perfect condition. » / BRIGHT is the only chewi ped in separate IS THE TOBACCO = YOU CHEW CLEAN? | PACIFIC CHEWING ng tobacco wrap- plugs untouched m the time it is manufactured until it AND THE PLUG IS AS " DELICIOUSLY GOOD » AS IT iS CLEAN.

The to have made many ap- peals of this kind to the early Christians, and Guerassim was not less backward than the other heroes. He bound up the poor paw and led it to the monastery, where for five years it gratefully served the old man, even doing domestic labor for him. The "other brothers of the monastery also made use of the lion's service, and even set him to watch the monastery lions seem beast's ass while it was grazing. One day the lion returned to the monastery without the ass, and Guerassinm, thinking that the natural leonine appetite had accounted for the beast of labor, said to the lion: "Hence- forth you shall be the monastery ass'; panniers were put on th grain and their pitchers, and = he brought water from Jordan. The lion, who seems to have been more saintly even than Guerassim aimself, served meekly, and in these lays when the pilgrims came down to Jordan he not only brought up water. but chased the peasants from he sacred river to the monastery, where they paid the brothers good money to pray for the health of their bodies and the peace of sold of their fathers and grandfathers. At last, coming back one day, the tion found that Guerassim was dead. From that hour he had no more joy in life. When the saint was buried the monks snowed the lion the tomb and* there he stretched himself out and expired. Held A Meeting.

Although anxious to go to the front and fight for his country a member of the 14th regiment who enlisted for overseas service and intended tg leave on Friday decided to remain at home until he was assured that his wife and two™ children would be properly cared for while he was at the front. The man, it appears, has seen ser vice on three or four occasions and was ready to leave when he was in- formed that, up until the present time, no arrangements had been made for the wives of the men who had gone to the front. On Thursday his wife signed the certificate allowing him fo go on conditions that she was to be looked after, but unfor- tunately the voluntesr was unable to get any person who would assure him that the lamily would not want. It was a very sad sight to see the family, at the armouries on Friday afternoon, waiting for the com- manding officer to arrive on the scene 50 that the matter could be arranged.
