The diplomatic corps has been a
mere skeleton of itself for some
months now. In the first place. about
half Of the corps went to Paris for
the Peace Conference and several OI

the ones that remained behind here
began to go home for one reason OF

been an impossfbility for the greater

Great Btitain's Ambassadorial post

Lord Reading is still listed as Ambas-
sador because his successor has not

ing some difficulty finding anyone to
take his place. and among the rea-
sons mentioned for that difficulty are
prohibition and the high cost Of Iiv-
ing over here. Numerous prominent
statesmen have been mentioned as
possible successors to Lord Reading,
and finally. last week II was said that
he will succeed himself: is coming
back here.
He surely achieved a brilliant sue

resentations up to the present he has
turned deaf ear. The post certainly
Is going begging. None offered the
it. 1t has been suggested that the
salary OF the Ambassador be in
creased to enable him to meet living
expenses here more easily. The fact
that Great Britain pays her Ambas-
sador about three times the salary
that our Ambassador to that country
receives and gives all sorts of extra
allowances and his embassy furnish

1t is possible that the delay in
