Diplomatic Day
Recalls Scenes
Before the War
ENJOYS Include Several
Who Are Still Awaiting
U. S. Recognition.

A little of the brilliant and for
NAL atmosphere so closely associat-
ed with the diplomatic Washington
of pre-war days Thursday penetrat-
ed the State Department when more
than score of foreign ambassa-
doris and ministers or attaches rep
resenting them, called to pay their
respects to Bairbridge Colby, new
Secretary of State.
Thursday is immemorially Diplo-
matte Day at the second floor Of
fees of the Cabinet premier, and
the brief calls of plenipotentiaries
are regarded as a thing of routine.
Much interest lay, however, in the
fact that a new Secretary greeted
the foreign representatives. Some
were those holding their credentials
from great powers, some from the
smaller states and some from those
babes in the family of nations whose
right to existence aEG self-determi-
nation has, been so often proclaimed
by President Woodrow Wilson.
Aged Functionary dictates.
The aged colored functionary, who
stands between the Secretary of
State and all the world, officiated
with more than his usual elabor-
ateness, probably imbued with the
feeling that cambridge Colby's first
reception of the diplomats should
lack nothing of the form which must
drape it, even in it's decreed lack of
red tape.
Most of the visitors left their
cards in the diplomatic anteroom
