Selecting Diplomats For German Republic Proves Difficult Job
Maximilian Harden and Doctor
Solf Mentioned For American Ambassador
By CARL D. GROAT
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Berlin. (By Mail.)—The new republic is finding selection of diplomats a real job. Of course, it isn't an easy task. It takes out a whole slate of ambassadors and ministers just yet, particularly its entente nations only send here charge d'affa irs. But the policy of the government will probably be, in such an event, to send out charges and consults—the charge being the man in charge. The ambassador or ambassador when full diplomatic relations with the outside world are assumed.
Germany's difficulty arises from the fact that some of the men of the old diplomatic service would be persona non gratia at certain capitals, then the new regime so far has not had the right to gage prospects of ambassadorial size.
So far, in connection with the A-merican ambassadorship, only two names have been mentioned—Maximilian Harden and Doctor Soff the former colonial minister and later governor in the closing days of last year.
Harden hasn't a chance to go to the Washington post. He has made more or less of a name for himself in America—but that doesn't count for anything with the present situation. In fact he isn't taken seriously by the present government in that connection.
On the other hand, Sof has considerable backing for the place. Sof is a man of liberal tendencies. He appeared during the war as an opponent of many of the government's policies; and as foreign minister last winter stuck strongly for strict adherence to the "Fourteen Points" in
complication of the peace to Germany.
He speaks English with scarcely an accent, is favorably known in many prominent American and English quarters, has travelled extensively, met President Taft, Rosewood, Mei
Kinley and has been a close student of President Wilson's policies. He and Colonel House were friendly before the war.
Self distinguished himself—in Germany at least—last winter by his open branch with Hase, leader of the independents. Self declined to associate with Hase, holding that as leader of the independents he was cognizant of a big "sash fund" which the Russian Bolsheviks had placed to the credit of radicals here in Berlin. This course added quite undoubtedly, in foreign countries, to show that there was no government alliance or sympathy with the Lenine-Trotky regime.
Former American Ambassador Bernstorf is known to regret that his position with the American people have come ambassador to Washington. While he has been booked for the Rome post it is possible that he will be arrested, and the president of politics, and run for the Rudolph in the coming elections.

Janitors' Wages Higher Than Professors' Pay
New York, September 18 (United Press. — College professors are worse paid than janitors and scrubwomen in the same institutions, charges Gardner B. e.Pryer of Albany, a Harvard graduate who is chairman of the Eastern University's College of Arts, raise funds for Harvard University. The university wants $11,000,000.
"So long as the janitors of our college halls and the scrubwomen of the libraries get larger salaries than professors, just so long shall we be in danger of seeing our universities fall into the hands of advanced education," he said.
"The remedy for this condition is not lowering the pay of the jantons and scrubwomen, but raising that of our teachers."

A WORD FOR THE DEFENSE
The young man crawled into the august presence.
"I should like to speak to you on an important matter, sir," he said. "Well, what is it?" growled the father of the girl, in no encouraging tone.
"I—I want to marry your daughter. sir!"
“What?” The old man’t face grew
“Marry.” Marry my daughter? I am
astonished! What on earth do you
mean, air? You—”
"Now, now," soothed the youth, seeing defeat looming and wanting to get some sort of satisfaction out of the interview, "don't talk that you are prejudiced against the girl. You are prejudiced against the girl. You are all right," really. "Tit-Bits."
"The road to success is apt to be a long, hard one, my boy."
