Washlmrton has sized up
James Balfour in tills way:
Five feet teu and three-quarter
Inches in height
Weight 155 pounds or thereabout
Of slender figure, with narrow shoul
ders that stoop slightly, but very long,
sinewy arms a figure unusually ath
letic for a man of slxty-ulne years.
The Balfour head is long ana narrow,
with an overhanging brow, "bulging"
type. It is covered wltb gray nair, ai
the temples trained down to a thin
skein of whiskers that extend an Inch
along the cheek.
' The Balfour face Is "snarp," tnougu
the mild gray blue eyes detract some
what from the general impression
gained when the Balfour countenance
is In repose. The nose is aquiline, al
most hawklike, with prominent bridge.
The Balfour eyes are rainer promi
nent, ordinarily steely and penetrating
. wtion the Balfour Bmlle comes Into
them to radiate over the entire face.
This smile is Infectious "winning, "
might almost be called.
When the Balfour smile Is working
which hi most of the time there Is
little In tho expression to suggest tne
"bloody Balfour" of Fenian days when
the then secretary of foreign affairs for
Ireland was compelled, wltn nrm nana,
to stay frequent disorders.
Th. Rnlfmir voice IS tUttt OI mo ora
tor and linguist It possesses all the
charm of the well cultivated nngiiao
u..i noMcln. It Is soft modulated, al
most to a whisper at times, though it
is decidedly resonant when roused In
public speaking.
Tim i-hlef nse Mr. Balfour makes ot
his brilliant power of speech is to keep
it out of action most of the time. He
Is an eloquent listener, his smile taking
the place of speech.
While engaged In oflldM missions,
such as that which brings him to the
t'nif.ui stnfos lho British secretary
for foreign alTulrs gnrbs himself much
ns ho dors when he goes to parliament.
Tho chief features ot It nre a long
frni'lr rnnt that linns around his knees.
gray striped trousers, comfortably
square toed shoes, a lilack string tie
nml a nnrrow brimmed silk hat that
appears to sit uncomfortably on hla
head.
The Balfour walk and movement
suggest "the outdoor man." His stride
Is long and swinging, and he moves
along nt a very rapid gait.
The Unlfmir diversions he Is n bach
elor are hUyellng. golf and almost
boyish fondness for dime novels of the
"siiiillng shocker" sort and profound
works on philosophy. He can recite
pages of Socrates in the original. lie
Bpenlts Trench. Cerinnn. Spanish, Ital
ian and can make himself understood
In the original tiaellc.
That the distinguished statesman
has a sense of humor Is Indicated by
the tribute of one ot his nssoelates,
who is authority for the statement that
"Balfour can make a really good pun,
with an Amerlcau punch, as you call

B Located by British, the Starving
Crewe Surrendered.
A member of the British war com
mission declared In Washington that
twenty German submarines and their
crews were captured by the British on
April 10. the day beforo tho party
soiled.
"nicy weren't exactly captured,
either," said tho Englishman. "They
had been searching for a destroyed
base for days, had been suffering for
food and water, and wheu our boats
picked them up many of tho men were
on the verge of starvation. Tho crews
were quite suIhIiiihI and gladly surrendered.
"England Is getting a lot more sub
marines than yon people In America

"Tho submarine coinmnnders are
having a rough time of It. Their bases
are sought out and destroyed almost

ish know of certain buses, but they let
them alone until the submarines are
gone, then destroy them and leave the

every detail ot registration, will bo in
