"Intelligence mad tact" are the two fundamentals for successful diplomacy, according to Sec retary f State Hughes. In a - little informal talk Wednesday with II new appointees as United States consuls, ill foreign fields, Hughes gave a bit of latherly advice as to Jut what such representatives should and should Hot do when at their posts of duty. Among the members of the group ad dfsosld by Hughes wds Leland Smith of Oregon, assigned to Saigon, Cochin China. Secretary Hughes said it is the inten tion of this government to base its for eign policy, not on any "artificial for mula," but rather, on "the evidence in the case," and emphasised the need of accurately reporting in order to be "per fectly fair in all Our relations." Eules "Laid down These are some of the striking utter Moo by Hushes in his unique confer ence with the budding diplomats. "S6 One can be charged with respon sibility in connection With our foreign relations and fail to have a constantly growing conviction of the vast import ance of the personal equality, ability and efficiency of those who represent the United State in foreign countries. "Upon your integrity and skill and ability in many cases rest the protection of lives and property of American cm- "We intend to deal with situations ac cording to the facta For Our apprehen sion correctly of these facts w depend Upon the representatives Of the govern ment." And in this connection, Hughes made an interesting observation on the relia bility of "young men." ACCCBACY DEMANDED "I confess," said Hughe, "that in my experience With young men, the capacity that I have found least often is the ca- Mrt A KA e(Mii4ta Vnnr rvianv 4a ssjsssssb a. j vv w ewvwi cvvl w VV absolutely necessary in order that this government should be properly advised With regard to the matters which are essential for the protection of our com mercial interests. "If we can have all through the world men capable of that accuracy ;n report ing, it will be of the greatest advantage to the government of the United states. "Of course, I need not tell you that the character of the American people will be Judged. We don't want repre sentatives who are flambuoyant, bom bastic, boastful, unreasonable, severe, autocratic who are disposed to make a graat deal of their authority at the ex pense of those Who are making polite in quiries ; who are disposed to be nervous and petulant in the presence of a great many competing demands. MUST KEEP "HEADS" , "The man who succeeds in this world in any position where there are a great many burdens and demands is the man who can keep quiet and placid when there is very severe pressure, who can keep his head and intelligence, at the same time giving the impression of a man adquate to the exigency. If you can give that impression you will do a great deal tor your country besides merely re porting what you observe, x cannot stress too much the necessity for intel ligence and tact."

TEHNKSHVETS Washington, July 11. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) veterans of the Tennessee division have adopted resolutions condemning Ambas sador Harvey's utterances a a slander upon American soldiery aad asking the national convention of the American Le gion to take action on the same lines. The protest against Harvey does not seem to lessen in volume as time pass and come from many parts of the country. It ha been the hope of the administration that Harvey's talk might soon b forgotten and the criticism Of soldier organisations is especially em barrassing, if the Tennessee "Wildcat" division goes into action at the meeting of th. Legion, this embarrassment will increase. SUFBBMAB TEICHEBSEEAX it may be remembered that, it was a Tennessee soldier. Sergeant Alvtn C. York, who stand out as on of th super-heroes of th war. In th Argon ne drive he was a corporal, and was sent out with a detachment of IS men un. r command of a sergeant to silence a ma chine gun nest The sergeant and six other war a st immediately killed. York took coram id, and with seven men who survived, took 13S prisoners, includ ing a major and three lieutenants, and put SS machine guns out of commission. He returned with the congressional medal of honor. On his return to this country Senreant York was questioned about a report that he was originally a conscientious ob jector. He admitted that his religion is opposed to killing people, and the reasons he gave for having no objection to fight ing in the American army is quoted in contrast to Mr. Harvey: then decided to fight "I don't ' approve of takine? human life," said Sergeant York, "unless it I necessary, but I considered it necessary when my colonel and my captain ox- plained that the fight was for democ racy, the peace of the world aad for humanity. Then I determined to fight." The Sergeant York idea about the necessity for fighting and why, ex plained by his colonel and captain and shared by his comrades, evidently Still has a strong hold on th Tennessee vet erans who, according to news reports, are unanimous about Harvey. This sen timent can scarcely be ascribed to parti sanship, since Tennessee registered a Substantial Republican majority in the last election. Edward R.
