Writing in .Foreign Affairs, Sir Austen Chamberlain disclaims any Machiavellian subtlety in diplomacy, He endeavors to explain the, ,differ- ence between British, French and German psychology as follows:— "The German is by nature ,a sys- tematizer. Ile excels in; organization. SIR AUST.iN CHAMBERLAIN He likes to see where he is going, to foresee as far as may be the accidents of the route, and to be assured ot good accommodation at the end of his journey 'according to plan.' - - 'Mow often did not the phrase re- cur during the war in German bulle- tins? 'The plan' was at once their 'se- curity and their danger ---often their most efficient instrument but some- times their master. "The Englishman, on the - other hand, finds such systematic planning irksome and uncongenial. - He sub. amts himself to it : with reluctance even when circumstances impose it on him, and, even while submitting, he distrusts the process In which he is engaged, doubts his power to pierce the mists • of the future, and secretly . relies on his capacity to meet emergencies as they arise. "Iii difficult times there is no :more common ending to a political discus- sion between Englishmen than the phrase; 'Well, I suppose we shall muddle through sois'iehow.' It could never occur to a German or a French- man to seek consolation in such a reflection," . TAKES HIS ROUSE TO WORK. Former Canadian Enjoys Home Comforts 'While on Road.

REGINA'S CREAT GROWTH. Less than 50 years ago Regina was a boneyard, Its only industry was the shovelling and shipping of buf talo bones. In fact, the district was referred to as "Pile o' Bones." Then a tented town sprang up as new- comers w conte: ra vLsioned new file on the prai- ries. Tents ga,ve way to shacks. Shacks strewn along uncertain prai- rie trails were then replaced by beau- tiful structures of brick, native stone, fine woods and cement, Straggling roads, treeless and unshaded, were straightened - out, Plants, flowers shrubs and trees were made into borders for beautiful streets and boulevards. To -day, Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan, a city • of parks and beautiful homes, and the distributing point for the rich farm lands to the north, south, east and west. - HELPING EYE TO SES.
