Ambassador Sharp Would
Shatter Old Rule of State
Department.
NEGOTIATIONS STARTED
Discussion Now On with Washington
officials Concerning Purchase
Of Partisan Mansion.

! Paris. Oct. n.-An epoch making de-
: parture from the rule. old as American
| diplomacy. that United States represent
atives must find their own Ambassadorial
: homes is foreshadowed by negotiations
now proceeding between the State De-
| partment at Washington and Amba ssa-
/ dor Sharp for the acquisition of per-
manent official embassy home in Paris.
! Ambassador Sharp's proposal to Presi-
! dent Wilson Is that America purchase
the mansion and ground he now leases
in his own name at Avenue Eylau and
! thus acquire permanently n piece of
! American territory in the heart of the
| arstocratic' Etoiie quarter, where Amer
| lean diplomatists may represent their
nation amid worthy surroundings. and
not be at the mercy of lease; which

Wants New Office.
The most important feature of the pro-
posals. however, Is that he would throw
the financial burden of the embassy
building on the State and not the indi-
vidua Ambassador. thus rendering 1t
possible for America to recruit able
men to the diplomatic service indepen-
! dent of their personal wealth.
The Ambassador also suggests the
purchase of available land adjoining the
bassy offices where diplomatic business
may be transacted in fitting surround
ings.
Price Is 100000.
The adoption of this plan would in
volve the abandonment of the present
office on Mezzanine Rue Chaillot. Thus
saving would be effected in yearly
rent of siOO0. The listed sale price of
the Avenue Eylau mansion and grounds
is s2i0o00. while the value of the ada cent
ground which the Amba ssador suggests
be added. Is, roughly, $500. Opinion
here is that if the proDerty could be
acquired for 100000 the Democratic ad-
ministration would strike a good real
estate bargain.
On his arrival in Paris Mr.. Sharp spent
many weeks searching for a suitable
home. and the biggest real estate men
in Paris probed the fashionable districts
till they discovered the present man.
