power to break the laws Of the country
with impunity. But the diplomatic corps
is lawabiding body. for the most part.
1t is composed of men particularly select
ed for their worth by the nations which
send them here. and they are not given to
violating the laws of the country. When
you are in Rome do as the Romans do, =,
is proverb that all diplomats, II they be
in truth diplomats, bear in mind. OF
course. there is one very effective weapon
which this country has-if any of the for
egn diplomats become obstreperous and
kick over the traces-it may ask the home
governments to recall their representa-
tives on the ground that they are persona
non grata to the United States. This
weapon has been used more than once
But while the members of the diplomatic
corps are, on the whole, careful not to in
fringe upon the laws of the United States.
Of them have taken advantage of the i'm
titles them. Not long ago a colored
man was shot and seriously wounded
in one Of the best residence sections of
the city. An unknown man. who was ac-
companied by a handsomely dressed wom-
an, did the shooting. The man and the
woman disappeared as if by magic after
the shooting 1t is true they We're seen
by several persons Immediately after the
affair, but their names have never been
made public. If they became known to
the police and the case promises to go
down in police history as one Of the un-
solved problems.
1t was hinted in some quarters strong

ly that the man who handled his gun SO
cavaliery was member of the dlplo-
matte corps. That the colored man who
was shot had been employed by jealous
husband to shadow the diplomat was the
story whispered about Washington. Sud
denly the case was dropped. and the
publicity given to it ceased. The reason
unofficially given was that 1T was danger
Gus to tackle q member of the diplomatic
corps
This instance of the power which lies
in the immunity granted diplomats calls
to mind other affairs of similar nature
in the last few years. At present there
are seven foreign embassies and thirty
legations In Washington. These in round
numbers, give shelter to 200 men. each
of whom may have several dependents.
degree. 1t is but natural that some of
these persons should run counter to the
law at times.
Only in the last year one of the lega-
tions proved an asylum for one OF its
attaches. This was the sensational case
in which an attache of a legation was as
saulted by Washington man while the
former was in the company of young
woman in front of her residence. While
the two men were struggling the diplomat
was seriously wounded by knife in the
hands of his aSsailant, according to the
story told by the police. Information was
withheld concerning the attache, who was
safely lodged behind the doors of the
legation. Through his refusal to have his
aSSailant indicted the case was dismissed.
and though the streets of Washington
