Ambassador to the United States.

1T Is we'll known that President
Roosevelt has a special liking for the
German ambassador to the United
States, the Baron Speck Won Sternburg
That the baron is on such good terms
at the White House is partly due to the
fact that he married an American wo-
man and therefore has better reasons
than most foreign diplomats for keep

ideas and ways. There is quite a ro-

of the baroness, who was Miss Lillian
May Langham, daughter of Charles
Langham, a rich mine owner of Idaho.
Born in California, she spent much of
her girlhood abroad and at the, Louis
