His Career as a Politician.
BARON VON NEURATH.

When Baron Konstantin Neurath takes up office as German Ambassador to the Court of St. Jamee, England will make the acquaintance of one of the most distinguished of Republican Ger- many's diplomats and politicians. Fifty-seven years of age, Herr von Neurath was recalled from his post
at Constantinople in 1917 to be come chief of the King of Wurtem berg's Cabinet. The revolution in 1918 found him still at his post, among his greatest and it is pleasures to recall that he once personally intervened between his King and an angry mob in Stutt- gart, the capital of the little South German kingdom."

KHYBER PASS. STRICT RULES REGARDING EUROPEAN WOMEN.
Peshawar, Nov. 1. Owing to the present alluation in the Tirah, the Khyber Paas has been closed to all visitors by road and rail until farther orders.
This typical South German ariking about things being sanitary, he tocrat, as different in his easy man ners and charm of approach from the Prussian Junker or the Han seatic patrician as can well be ima- gined, performed in Rome taske nearly as difficult, and requiring as much tact, as those required of Herr Sthamer in his earlier daya in London. In his dealings with Mussolini he nearly always had some form of postive success to his credit, even on such difficult sub jects as the sequestration of Ger man property in South Tyrol, for which he obtained as much as eighty per cent. equivalent in cash. In various skirmishes where Ger- man tourlets offended Fascist au- thority, and still more painful ones in which German journalists were required to leave the country at a moment's notice, his intervention generally made for peace, provided the good faith of the victim had aatlefied exhausting research.

European women are forbidden to travel on any road in Peshawar dis- trict except the Grand Trunk and Nowshera-Malakand roads, and on these roads they must have a Euro- pean male escort. They must not use these roads after 2p.m. :
