Berlin, Dec. 6.-Only a relatively small
number of Americans will be presented
at the forthcoming court receptions in
the royal castle. Ambassador Gerard ha s
decided that the presentations will be
strictly limited to members Of his own
official family, and a very few others
four or five at the outside.
The news will bitterly disappoint many
wealthy and socially am bilious persons,
but the increasing number of Americans
asking for presentation in previous years
has become a source OF scandal and un-
concealed annoyance to the German
court authorities. Gerard. it is under
stood, has decided that there shall be no
further cause for complaint on this
score.
Americans whose official position re-
quires their presentation this season, be-
sides Ambassador and Mrs. Gerard. are
Secretary and Mrs. Joseph Crew, Secre-
tary Willing Spencer, Capt. and Mrs.
Gerard, Maj. Langhorne, military at
tache; all members of the Embassy STAFF,
and the only other presentations thus far
decided upon are those of Mrs Carroll,
of Carrollton. Md, who is a granddaugh-
ter of the historian, Bancroft, and whose
husband descended from Charles Car
roll. one of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence. Mrs. Carroll is now in

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Paris, Dec. 6.-Emile Deschamps, a
well-known Partisan, who is on the fringe
of the literary world, has stirred up a
hornets nest. American women, Franco
American women, and a large section of
French society in sympathy with both,
are shutting :he doors of their SALONS
against him. d. NJ. Deschamps' un-
pardonable sin is that he has criticised
American women severely in a book, The
Women of Uncle SAM He processes to
base his knowledge upon long ex-
perience in the United States.
. Deschamps starts out by saying that
the American woman thinks the world
was made for her sole pleasure. The
serious woman of the American colony
who devote much time and money to
philanthropy, are up in arms at this Mrs
Whitney Hoff, who interests herself in
thousands of students and other young
girls; Miss Harjes, who co-operates with
her: Mrs. Deacon Smith, who runs a hos
pital in connection with Holy Trinity
Church; Countess de Spottiswood- -Mackin,
who takes care of the poor Italian chill
dren of Paris; Mrs. Frank Mason, who
is associate with every good work; Mrs.
John w. ldackay, whose check book is
ready for every charity, all resent the
imputation that American women are
mere creatures of pleasure.
M. Deschamps goes beyond the bounds
OF reason when he calls the American
women despotic, aggressive, and imper-
tinent. On the contrary, we Frenchmen
know that the American woman easily
accommodates herself to circumstances
and new surroundings. Here in France
some of ouE most successful chatelaines
are Americans. Such, for instance, are
