WASHINGTON, Oct. 2t.-Count v

Countess di Cellere and several mem
Defs OF the embassy staff were at the
hospital when his death occurred. The
ambassador was SO years old.
The ambassador was removed from

after his physician had decided that only
an operation would save his life. He

night. Arrangements for funeral serv-
ices here have not been made, but,
according to diplomatic custom, the

Ambassador di Cellere was appointed
TO the post in 1918 to succeed Mayer
Des Planches, at about the same time
that THOMAS Nelson Page was selected

Ambassador di Cellere's friendship for
President Wilson was especially well
known in washington, the ambassador
having accompanied President and Mrs,
Wilson to Paris the first time. The am
bassador also accompanied the president
and Mrs. Wilson during their visit to
Italy.
1t was expected that Ambassador di
Cellere would soon leave for Italy, a
successor, Baron Romano Avezzano,
having been appointed in accordance
with the diplomatic precedent that an
ambassador who has served creditably
during a war at the capital OF an allied
nation should be relieved when peace

retire from the diplomatic service or to
accept = higher post in the home for
eign office,
Ambassador di Cellere is known TO

approaching retirement, IL was said by
his friends tonight, may have affected
