He worked hard to prevent Japan from entering the conflict, even going so far as to offer Tokyo the cession of Tsingtao on his own responsibility; the Berlin government, however, refused to sanction the step. Virtually isolated by the Allies, all his messages subject to censorship, his next dilemma was to warn his government of the approaching Japanese declaration of war.

After estimating the average cost of a college education at something over eight thousand dollars, he suggests that parents try the experiment of investing this sum for their child at birth at compound interest rates. What such a sum would have grown to by the time the child reaches the college board period of life is not mathematically estimated, though one must suppose it to be staggering. The moral is, however, how many parents who now send their sons to college with...
