When the peace conference was on Ports
mouth. N H, and attempt was being made to
end the war between Russia and Japan, Baron
Rosen of the special conference ENJOYS
of his government This fact leads me to tell
a hitherto unpublished story of the Russian
bassador story which goes to show how careful
foreign diplomats of standing are to avoid all
possible chance of even personal difficulties with
Individual Americans. 1t should be said, however,
that Baron Rosen, because OF his natural IN
stincts, probably would have acted in this case
just he did though he had not been the
representative of the car of all the Russias
One of Baron Rosen's comrades the peace
conference board his feOw-cOuntryman, the
Count White. An American woman and her
little daughter driving in light buggy on a
road between Manchester by-the-Sea and Ports
mouth. All at once there came whirlng into the
road from a tree-lined lane automobile which
struck the buggy, turned it and threw
mother and daughter to grassy bank on the
side of the road The shock of the collision
smashed the lighter vehicle badly that the
horse was released and it promptly ran away
The automobile was stopped instantly and
two gray headed men jumped out and ran to the
assistance of the woman and child Apparently
both were unhurt, The automopiilsts were pro
foundly sorry, sympathetic and apologize They
took the mother and daughter in their machine
and whisked them five miles away to the nearest
doctor who, after examination, seid that neil

woman and the child were taken in the automo-

mobile said they must leave for hour but they
would return. They entered their machine, drove
on and in Just one hour they were back
1t was subsequently learned that while they
were away they had given an order at village
carriage shop for new buggy to be delivered 10
the owner of the that had been demonsneo-
They found that the horse had returned unin-
jured to the stable. After doing these errands
the return trip was made to the home of the
woman and child There they said that If the
slightest injury either of the occupants OF the
buggy resulted they stood ready to pay all dam
ages which might be asked. They were assured
by the woman that no physical harm had been
done The two automobilists apologized again,
bowed, and handed their cards, on which were
inscribed the names titles and addresses OF the
Baron Rosen and Count Witte-
The ambassador second in rank in Washing
ton is Mr. J. j. Jusserand of the Republic OF
France Mr. Jusserand is well known, not only
as a diplomat but for his literary attachments
Like many other foreign diplomats in Wash
ingtcn, Mr.. Jusserand married an American w1fe-
Perhaps it may held by some people that
Mime Jusserand is not an American because she
happened to be in Paris, but both her par
ents- were Americans. The list of foreigners in
the diplomatic service who have married Amer1-
car women a long Curiously enough, the
last two German ambassadors to American ootn
claimed brides On this side of the water good
many of these international alliances come about
in this way: The young foreign attaches of the
legations while on duty in Washington fall in love
with and marry American girls Later in life
sent back as ministers ambassadors to the
land where they married Some people say that
this of thing makes for international peace
and perhaps II does.
