GUST i. s. EMBASSY
Building Occupied by Herrick in
Paris Is for Rent.
American Ambassador Hasn't Stuff
eient Funds to Pay for Valuable
Property and Landlord Loses
=..... Patience.

Paris.-The Paris diplomatic world
Is enjoying a quiet smile over the
American embassy's discontinue in
from its present quarters, thus prov
ing once more that America abroad is
ct the mercy of the landlord.
The embassy's quarters, at Is Ave
nue. Kleber, which have been occupied
for the last sixteen years, are now
decorated with a billboard inviting
rental as shop. The billboard is
placed almost parallel with the ma
tional escutcheon.
The officials Of the embassy In an
swer to a direct query inferred that
the monetary question lies at the root
Of the difficulty, as $4,000 nowadays
does not allow the chancellery to OBJ
tain what is necessary In food and
suitable quarters. The incident has
brought the question OF a proper resi-
dence for the ambassador to the front
once more. Even those who with some
difficulty understand that an American
ambassador may be compelled to pay
his own house rent are unable to COM
prehend how he can be called upon to
furnish the official part OF the en-
bassy.
To all inquiries the members Of the
embassy exhibit the greatest embar-
rassment, as the means to remain in
their present quarters are lacking. 1t
is impossible to raise any legal objec'
ton to the action of the landlord, as
he has proceeded entirely within his
rights. The rental allowance for the
chancellory has remained at $4,000 for
the past sixteen years, whilefsp every
quarter of Paris rents have Increased
from 10 to IS per cent, during that
period.
The Quarter Etoile has been espe-
cially affected by this increase, owing
to the invasion of the district for bust
ness purposes. The Champs Elysees,
which sixteen years ago had not q
single shop on 1t, now contains more
than 200 stores Of various kinds, in

appearing the Daily News December
2ls 1911, gave a report of two years
OF investigation by the leather and
paper division OF the United States
bureau of chemistry. in which it was
declared that in tops, stumps. slabs
and sawdust in the forests of the
south and the northwest, and in dead
and down timber from forest storms.
there is more than sufficient waste
material TO yield annually ali the pa
per (except news), boxboard and
building board required in the coun-
try.
Now word comes from Louisiana Of
the completion and first successful
operation OF such a plant. From the
sort OF waste which is usually thrown
away or burned or converted into
made land, high grade boxboards are
being manufactured for container
packages and shipping eases. The
process is such that not only is wood
waste used for raw material and fuel
for operation, but turpentine, rosin.
tar and other by-products are obtain
ed in sufficient quantities to pay the
full expenses OF manufacture.
In the chemistry report referred to
above it is declared out of the waste

OF turpentine and other such products
can be obtained without boxing or tur-
pentining one live tree.

not Edward come to bid me good

tice. Almost the same difficulty was
experienced during the ambassadorial
terms of Washburn, Morton and Eus-
tbs, but the trouble was not SO fragrant
then, as rentals were much lower.
It may be possible to find decent
premises on the Rue de Chaillot or
the Place ies Etats Unis. The pres
ent location Is central for Americans,
being near the telegraph and post
ofTles, but it Is difficult of access for
the foreign ministries, as White and
Bacon previously occupied the resi-
dence on the Rue Francois Premier
which is now tenanted by Ambassador
Herrick This has generally been re-
garded as an official residence provid-
ed by the United States government
and much surprise was expressed
when it was learned that the Ameri-
can government owns no embassy, al
though England, Germany, Russia,
China and even Liberia own theirs.
These embassies, legations and chan
celleries are located in the smartest
quarters OF Paris and the rentals paid
by other foreign representatives here
are in every case greater than those
paid by the United States In the Rue
