OffIciaIdOm Welcomes
UFUEuayan Envoy.

The entertainment of DR.. Baltasar
Brum, minister of foreign affairs OF
Uruguay. op special mission to the
United States, and his confreres is
proceeding according to schedule.
The visit of. the mission to this coun-
try presents, however. several un-
usually interesting aspects. Uruguay
Is the first Latin-American country TO
send us a mission which is official in
its status. and. in the long list of gov
ernments which have sent delegations
TO this country on more or less i'm
portant missions since the war, the
first country not our ally whose rep
resentativeS have been received as
guests OF the nation. Uruguay, you
know-or perhaps you don't know:
I'll confess 7 didn't remember-sever-
I'd diplomatic relations with Germany
on October 1T.1917, but has never de-
clared war.
1t is with reason that DR.. Brum is
made much OF in this country, for he
has ever been the friend of the United
States. and has been instrumental in
maintaining most cordial relations be-
tween the little republic of South
America and the big republic of North
America. He is onl ythirty-five years
old and is likely to be the next Presi-
dent of Uruguay.
Or. Brum and his party are fortu-
nate in having had placed at their
disposal one Of the most delightful
and historic houses in Washington,
the old Blair residence in Pennsylva-
mia avenue. now the home of Major
and Mrs. Gist Blair.

In this connection some one remark
ed the other day that this country had
produced at least a dozen songs with
moro dash and swing than "Tipper-

that: but there arc some certainly
which are destined to equal popular
ity. For instance. l like particularly
