Was Boor at Table
of american Diplomat

numericals "l3" against it. | must
admit, however, that "the thirteenth
chair" did bring him pretty well to
the foot of he table.
| explained the situation to Won
Mutius and asked Mr.. Panfili, coun-
cillor of the Austrian embassy, who
was a guest at the dinner, to come
up and make everything clear to the
outraged German diplomat. AS the
Austrians and Germans were allies
il was quite apparent that the slight
if slight there had been, was unin-
territorial. Panfili said that he had
been puzzled over the question OF
Won Sanders position and had sub
mitted the question to the marquis.
The outcome was that the Austrian
ambassador had himself fixed Won
Sanders rank at number Is. But
the German embassy did not let the
matter rest there: afterward Wan
genheim called on Pallavicini and
discussed the matter with consider
able liveliness.
"If Liman Won Sanders represents
the kaiser, whom do you represent p
Pallavicini asked Wangenheim. The
argument was good one as the
ambassador is always regarded as
the alter ego of his sovereign.
1T is not customary" continued
the marquis, for an emperor to
have two representatives at the
same court"
The marquis was obdurate and
Wagenheim carried the question to
the grand vizer But said halim
refused to assume responsibility for
so momertous a decision and re-
ferred the dispute to the council OF
ministers. This body solemnly sat
upon the question and rendered
this verdict: Won Sanders should
rank ahead of the ministers of for
eign countries, but below the mem
bers of the Turkish cabinet. Then
the foreign ministers lifted up their
voices in protest. Won Sanders not
only became exceedingly unpopular
for raising this question, but the
dictatorial and autocratic way III
which he did it aroused general dis
gust. The ministers declared that
if Won Sanders were ever given
precedence at any function of this
kind they leave the table in a body.
The net result was that Won San
ders was never again invited to a
diplomatic dinner. Sir Louis NAL
let, the British ambassador, took
sardonic interest in the episode. 1t
was lucky, he said, that it had not
happened at this embassy; if it had

Worlds Work: An incident which
took place in my own house opened
all our eyes 10 the seriousness with
which Won Sanders, the German
general who was recognizing the
Turkish army, regarded his mission
to Turkey, writes former American
Ambassador Morgenthau.
On Feb. Is | gave my first dip
lomatic dinner; General Won San
ders and his two daughters attend
ed, the general sitting next to my
daughter, Ruth. My daughter,
however, did not have a very en-
joyable time, this German field mar
shall, sitting there in his gorgeous
uniform, his breast all sparkling
with medals, did not say word
through the whole meal. He ate
his food silently and sulkily, all my
daughters attempts to enter into
conversation evoking only an occa-
sional surly monosyllable. The be-
havior OF this great military leader
was that of spoiled child.
At the end of the dinner Won
Mutius, the German charge dat
faires, came up to me in high state
Of excitement. 1t was some time
before he could sufficiently control
his agitation to deliver his mes
sage.
You have made terrible mis-
take, Mr.. Ambassador" he said.
What is that" | asked, naturally
much alarmed.
you have geratly offended Field
Marshal Won Sanders. You have
placed him At the dinner lower in
rank than the foreign ministers. He
is the personal representative of the
kaiser and as such is entitled to
equal rank with the ambassadors.
lie should have been placed ahead
of the cabinet ministers and the
foreign ministers"
SO had atfronted the emperor
.mself! This, then, was the ex-
.lanation of Won Sanders boorish
pehavior. Fortunately my position
was an impregnable one. | had ar
ranged the seating precedence at
this dinner; had sent the list of
my guests to the Marquis Palla-
Yicini, the Austrian ambassador,
