LAVISH DISPLAY ABROAD Is DIS
GRACE TO FAIR NAME OF
THE REPUBIIC.

Washington, July G,--Layish dis
play by American diplomats in for
eign courts was described as ahasing
the dignity OF the republic, dollar
diplomacy was denounced as a dan
gorous thing, and American heiresses
who have made international allianc-
es were assalled In a speech in the
House today by Representative Henry
of Texas.
The speech was on motion TO
take from committee n resolution
calling on the secretary Of state for
information relative to the purchase
ing Of embassy sites abroad.
1--WE may congratulate ourselves" ;"
said Mr.. Henry that when very re-
Gently two proud and over-opulent
ambassadors entered into the ancient
copital Of England amid verltable
riot Of vulgar display and extrava-
gance Of wealth, rushing headlong to
the feet Of royalty, no serious cas-
ualties actually occurred.
"The most serious and corruptlng
aspect of the times is the tendency
OF our great millonaires, stlll pro-
Tossing admiration for our republican
institutions, to shine in splendor as
great noblemen in foreign courts. In
their endeavor to pave the way for
such royal status, tho world has been
profoundly amused at the expense OF
this nation by the so-called system
Of international marriages Oft times
secured by purchase In return for
high sounding titles, accidentally held
by thinyblooded noblemen.
"The time has come when this
humilating spectacle should be
brought to n close by decree coming
from the hearts and minds Of the true
American citizen"
