DIPLOMATIC CORPS
LOSES MEMBERS.
Quite a few of last weeks parties
were for parting members of the
diplomatic corps. The Swiss Minister
and Nine. SulZer. who are going to
sail for home on the twenty-fourth.
are being entertained extensively. DR..
Hans Sulzer first asked to resign last
spring, almost a year ago now, be-
cause of his health and has been
going to leave shortly all these
months since. Now ii appears he is
actually departing and Washington
is sorry to lose them having become
quite attached to the clever young
diplomat and his young good-looking
wife. His successor. Marc Peter. is
due to arrive here shortly.
The Ambassador of Chile and Nine
Matthew and one or two others enter
tanned last week in compliment to
Gustavo Munizaga-Varela and his
wife, who are leaving in a day or
two for England, where the former
will be consul-general at Liverpool for
Chile. He was commercial counselor
of the embassy here. The Henry
Getty Chiltons are coming in for
many farewell parties too. Mr.. Chill
ton thinks now he will go about

American Ambassador, who has been
on duty at the State Department here
for months, is not going to return to
his post Accordingly it is felt that
the dignity Of Mexican prestige de-

to have Senior Bonillas return to Mex

be first succeeded by Alfonso Siller, an
ardent supporter of Carranza. who has
been abroad on several confidential
missions during the past few years,
and who arrived in Washington about
a week ago. But Mr.. Siller will remain
in Washington only a short time pre-
paratory to going to Peru as minister
and he will be succeeded, according
to present plans, by Salvador Diego
Fernandez. chief clerk in the Mexican
ministry for foreign affairs.
The apparent insistence OF Carranza
to keep up the wave of anti-Ameri-
canism in Mexico is said to be caus-
ing much speculation. Opinion is di-
vided as to whether he intends to
bring about a state of chaos that will
later justify him in declaring martial
law and making elections impossible,
thereby enabling him to govern the
country for an unlimited period as
dictator, or whether he intends to use
anti-Americanism as an asset to fur
ther the candidacy of his favorite,
Gen. Pablo Gonzales.

some of those marriageable eligibles
of his staff whom he took home with
him, back again. One of these bach

Maj. Craufurd Stuart. So fas as
know he took most of his friends en-
tirely by surprise when he married
just two days before he sailed, Miss
Wheeler of Connecticut.
Then, another one of the long list Of
possible husbands at the British EN-
bassy took unto himself a wife yes

Jane Story, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
John P. Story. 1t was one of the i'm
portant social events of the week,
and was preceded by a large number
of parties; there was something do
ing almost up to the minute Of the
ceremony and there will probably be
many parties for them when they re-
turn from their wedding trip.
The wedding took place at noon
at the home of the bride, 1919 K

relatives and close friends present,
and was followed by a breakfast.
