hour
with the editor of _New York Life_, a task needing the highest diplomatic
qualities. Flew to Harvard and delivered lecture on Mr. BALFOUR'S Theology
as correlated with his style in golf. A great reception. Despatched report
by wireless to London, Paris and Petrograd. Returned to New York in the
afternoon and co-ordinated UPTON SINCLAIR, Colonel ROOSEVELT, TUMULTY and
CHARLES DANA GIBSON.

_June 19th._--In the morning dictated articles for the _Novoe Vremya_,
_Matin_ and _Corriere della Sera_, emphasizing the need of co-operative
cosmopolitan co-ordination. Flew to Chicago to deliver supplementary
lecture to that given by ARTHUR BALFOUR on ARISTOTLE. Took for my subject
"Aerial Trade Routes, as co-ordinated with Terra-firma Routes for
Motor-lorries." Enthusiastic reception. Co-ordinative cold collation at 9
P.M. at Philadelphia with GOMPERS, ROCKEFELLER, Mrs. ATHERTON and BILLY
SUNDAY.

_June 20th._--Dictated article on the New Diplomacy for _The New York
Journal_. In the afternoon co-ordinated the tenets of Shin-Toism, Christian
Science and Mormonism. A heavy day.

_June 21st._--Much annoyed by report of CURZON'S extraordinary speech in
the House of Lords. Called at the White House and the British Embassy to
put matters right, and sent wireless to CURZON: "Nothing 'succeeds' like
success."

Extract from a report of a sermon by Father BERNARD VAUGHAN:--

"They might as well go on to one of the main lines and attempt to stop
one of the engines gorging from Euston to Edinburgh."--_Express and
Echo_ (_Exeter_).

Perhaps it would be wiser to refer the matter to the FOOD-CONTROLLER.
