Two Diplomatic Dinners viii Be

several receptions and dinners.
Among these dinners will be two
given for the diplomatic corps. Here
tofore only one dinner has been given
That, however, was in time Of peace,
when the British and German, the
Russian and the Austro- Hungarian,
the Turkish and Italian, and all the
other ambassadors representing the
two armed camps of Europe, were or
speaking terms. To overcome the
present awkward situation, two din
ners will be given.
Here, again, the President is likely
to find himself in difficulties. Which
side viii be represented at the first
dinner? In other words, who will have
precedence? Again, who will be asked
to meet the allies, and who the Ger
mans and Austro- Hungarians?
The State department has careful
ly studied this question. The dean Of
the diplomatic corps is Mr.. Jusserand,
the French ambassador. Naturally,
he must be invited to the first func-
tion. This means that invitations
must be extended also to the British
ambassador, the Russian ambassador,
the Japanese ambassador, and the
Italian ambassador.
The understanding is that the repre-
sentatives of all the neutral nations
viii be invited at the same time.
The second dinner will be given with
Count Bernstorff, the German ambas-
sador, as the guest Of honor. His COL
leagues of Austria. Hungary, Turkey
and Bulgaria likewise will be invited.
In order that no untoward questions
shall develop, the representatives of
all the neutral nations will be asked
for the second time to dine at the
White House.

Such is the note Of an urgent appeal

chairman of the commission, the fol-
lowing statement:
'It appears to me that It is neces-

lean people and ask them to clothe the
destitute in the occupied areas of Bel
gium and Northern France during the
coming winter.
There are 9, 900, 900 people in these
areas and of these more than one-third
are destitute. We have no reserves
with which to provide clothing for the
destitute. We now plead for help on
their behalf.
"Even If they had money they could
not import clothes, or the raw mater
ais with which to manufacture them,
through the blockade into an area un-
der military occupation. While the
better classes have some clothing with
which they can get along, the desti-
tute are composed of working classes.
By Christmas time all the clothing
which we have in our various establish
ments will be exhausted"
