WASHINGTON LEADS CAPITALS
Than Any Other Nation In
the World.

With the elevation OF Senior Don
Romlulo s. Naon of Argentina, the
American capital has now the ranking
number OF ambassadors serving al
any seat OF government eleven the
total, as against ten accredited to the
other great world capitals. London.
Paris, Berlin, ST. Petersburg and Wen
ma. The capital city of Italy has but
eight diplomats OF the first rank and
Madrid having recently elevated the
representative to Argentine to the rank
of ambassador, has climbed into the
same class as Italy and Constanti-
nople There are rumors that Chill
will soon fellow the lead of Argentina,
making the diplomats Of the highest
rank an even dozen. an imposing host
indeed and surely Indicative of the
rapid ascent of the United States into
the councils of the nations. In Wash
ington, where court customs do not
prevail except in the broadcast sense,
the ambassadors gain little by their
elevation. except the honor OF trans
acting affairs with the secretary OF
state In most expeditions manner. Mp.

MRS. WILSON IS oVERWoRKEp
wife Demands a Long Summer
Vacation.

There Is no sort OF doubt that Mrs
Wilson. wife of the president, has
broken in health to the extent that a
long and very quiet summer will be
necessary to have her in shape to en-,
dure the strains OF the winter fes-
uvities.
Mrs. Wilson, in her eminent de-
sire to be. as all wives OF the presi.
dents have been. a good lieutenant
for her husband, and do in a social
way what the president does in q
political way, has wilfully but I'M
erTingly given away, as all over-am-
bilious wcnen do, and worn her nerve
forces to a fragile.
Mrs. Taft did the same thing when
she took her place in the White
House. Never a particularly strong
woman, she was interested IN re-
forms and desired to return To official
society life something OF the prestige
1t had during the early years OF the
nation, when the wives of the presi-
dents were as strong minded as their

terested in a more beautiful Wash
ingtOn, and helped to push the plans
to make Potomac park one OF the
beauty spots of the world She, too,
broke down, and will suffer for it the
remainder of her life.
Mrs. Roosevelt never did anything
at all in the White House except to
be the wife OF the president She
performed her social duties as a faith
full chatelaine should, and was al
ways a gracious and genial hostess,
but the best friend that Mrs. Roose-
welt ever had could never have called
her magnetic or particularly attract
i've. 1t was not that Mrs. Roosevelt
had not the brains or ability. but she
was always so utterly and absolutely
submerged in the individuality OF her
husband, President Roosevelt, that
she never made any attempt to be
other than just the wife of the presi
dent.
Every body will regret that Mrs
Wilson has so early broken down,
and the sincere nope will go with her
to her summer home that she will re-
turn to Washington in her wonted
health.

CLAM WINS FIGHT WITH RAT
Grips Inquisltive Rodents Nose and
Desperate Battle Is Witnessed
In a Cafe.

A desperate battle between a rat
and a clam was fought on the mosaic
floor of fashionable Washington cafe
the other day. while the patrons
watched the encounter.
The cafe is owned by Thomas r.
Marshall, who occasionally receives
the vice-president's mail in mistake
for his own. Mr.. Marshall keeps his
clans IN a bin at one end of the bar
and a curious rat investigated the
clam bin.
One of the clans had opened it's
shell. The rat tried to nibble the
membrane that protruded from the
shell. The clam closed down.
For nearly ten minutes the rodent
tried to rid itself of the deathgrip the
clam had taken on its nose. Finally
witnesses killed the rat The clam
came through without a mark.
