BIuest Of Blue Books.

The blue book of blue books in
Washington is a little pamphlet issued
every month by the state department
and which bears on it's cover the sim
pie title Diplomatic List" 1t contains
the names of the ambassadors, min
listers, counselors, secretaries and mill
tary and naval attaches who represent
foreign governments in the United
States Included also in the list are
the names of the wives of such CT the
foreign officials as are married, and Of
their daughters who are old enough to
be in society.
The diplomats of Washington are d.
vided into two great classes, ambassa-
doris and ministers. The ambassadors
rank the ministers and therefore
the most recently appointed ambassa-
dor takes precedence over the rank
ing minister. The size of the country
has nothing to do with the rank OF its
representative in Washington. Spain,
for instance, is represented by an am
bassador and while Spain is not one of
the great powers of the world, its am
bassador in Washington would rank
all the other ambassadors here, pro-
vided his term of service was longer
than that of any from the other coun-
tries.
1t happens that at the present time
J. J. Jusserand, ambassador extraor-
binary and minister plenipotentiary of
France, is the ranking foreign repre-
sentative in this city. Mr.. Jusserand
has been here for thirteen years. When
he came to Washington he was at the
bottom of the list of ambassadors. but
as those who ranked him have gone to
other scenes he has gradually gone up
until he is at the head of the list.
The second ranking ambassador is
Count j. H. Won Bernstorff of Ger
many II readily can be seen why
President Wilson separated the am
bassadors of the belligerent countries
into t1.o sections when he invited
them TO dine at the White House and
at another time to attend a reception

The Universal Test for Voters
Many Democrats tell me that the vote
of the Illinois women in favor of Mr..
Hughes has convinced them that wom-
an suffrage does not work.
While many Republicans have been
made ants by the probable vote of the

Of the other states.
King George the Third would, per-

that that representation would always
