years ago he was consul general OF his govern
ment in New York city. Later he was charge
daffaires In Washington when Grover Cleveland
president
When the peace conference at Ports
mouth N. H., and an attempt 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
hitherto unpublished story OF the Russian am
bassador a 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 as he did even though he had not been the
representative of the car Of all the Russias
One of Baron Rosen's comrades the peace
conference board was his feowcountryman, the
Count Won White, An American woman and her
little daughter driving in light buggy on
road between Manchester by-the-Sea and Ports
mouth All at there came whirng into the
road from treened lane automobile which
struck the buggy, turned It over and threw
mother and daughter on to grassy bank on the
side of the road The shock OF the collision
smashed the lighter vehicle so badly that the
horse was released, and 1t 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 we're unhurt The automobilists were pro-
foundly sorry sympathetic and apologize. They
took the mother and daughter In their machine
and whisked them Ave miles away to the nearest
doctor who, after examination, said that mel
Their OF them was hurt in the least. Then the
woman and the child were taken In the automo-
bile again and driven to their residence. which
was ten miles off The occupants of the auto
mobile said they must leave for an hour but they
would return They entered their machine drove
off and in just hour they were back.
1t was subsequently learned that while they

carriage shop for new buggy to be delivered to
the owner of the one that had been demolished
They found that the horse had returned unin-
iured to the stable. After doing these errands
the return trip made to the home OF the
woman and child. There they said that II the
slightest injury to 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 the Count Won White.
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
ington Mr. Jusserand married an American wife
Perhaps 1t may be held by some people thai
Nine Jusserand is not an American because she
happened to be born In Paris, but both her par
ents were Americans The list of foreigners II
the diplomatic service who have married Ameri
can women Is long one Curiously enough the
last two German ambassadors to American boil
claimed brides on this side of the water. gooC
many of these international alliances come abou
in this way: The young foreign attaches OF thu
legations while on duty in Washington fall in low
with and marry American girls. Later in life
when promotion In the service comes, they ar
sent back as ministers or ambassadors to thu
land where they married. Some people say tina
this sort of thing makes for international peace
and perhaps It does.
