dug Russia. It has never liven proponed

Hs to methods hot there wiis an agree-
- ment on principle, and an agreement
on tiie realisation of that principle is
hound to follow,
“Not the least Interesting feature
of the prolonged discussion was to see
President Wilson apply himself lias
sionately to the task of solving the
problem and still not injuring the
rights of Frame. He uttered a
phrase one day which Frame ought to
know. He declared with an accent
coming from .the heart: ‘It would la’
the sorrow of tn.v life if Hie great
licaee we are making should he jeopar-
dized by any difficulty between Frame

leased the imprisoned cashier.
