T' The Hritish aeeordin to dip-,-: lomatic tradition, beat about ; the bush, they fear a new idea ' illicit interfere with the league of nations. Or it might seem to i offer organized opposition "to other continents," meaning this continent. The fact is that the British . are satisfied with their own United States called "The Brit ish Empire" .and covering a : good deal of the globe. "livide and govern" is still V the essence of diplomatic wis-.- dom. Britain doesn't want a lowcr greater than the British empire organized across the channel on the continent of Eu rope. As to interfering with this continent or competing with it, Britain need not worry. Wc arc not jealous or antag: onislie. Our own United States is do ing well, and if wc attend to it mid let Kiirope attend to its af '; fairs, we shall be wise. Any immediate American al ! liance might include Jfexico and Canada. Each co-operating I lo keep this continent invinci- ble. Other alliances are not j necessary or desirable. The oldest Turk. Zaro Agho, J who thinks ho is l(i years old, '(; arrived in the United States j yesterday. 1 lie comes with three ideas in his minil. First, to make money by exhibit ing himself, lie will surely do that. Second, to get j a set of false teeth, well made I by an American dentist. That 1 will be easy and a blessing. Third, to get a wife, that will I not be difficult cither, horrible i as it .sounds. There are many i foolish women, j The part about the wife is ; probably t lie invention of a i press agent. If wise, Mr. Agho ; will return with his money and I false teeth, abandoning the , third idea. ,s Men are born and die in dif- ferenl ways, us doctors and ' public executioners can testify. Charles the first demanded warm clothing for his behead- ing, fearing that he might shiv i er with cold and be accused of i cowardice.
