The International Communications

Washington and has been meeting
here for some weeks now, is being
constantly entertained by officials
of this government. and by heads OF
the diplomatic. missions, and men,

delegation I've already mentioned
The Japanese ambassador, Baron
Shidehara. was host at one of the
most important dinner parties OF
the early season, entertaining Tues
day evening at the Shoreham Hotel
in compliment to the japanese
delegates to the congress. The
guests numbered between fifty and
sixty and included delegates from
the other countries represented al
the conference, the Secretary OF
State, Bainbridge Colby, and a few
Of the diplomats. This conference
has brought together a number of
distinguished men from overseas.
and their presence has lent interest
to a great many of the entertain
ments of the autumn. The Secre-
tary of State had a dinner for the
delegates, and they visited Mount
Vernon recently aboard the May
flower, with the Secretary of the
Navy and Mrs. Josephus Daniels as
hosts. In fact, they are entertained
SO much 1t seems to me they DON'T
have any time left for their con-
ferences, and IL they do manage to

they do-they must have to do so
in their party clothes.
The Secretary of State was the
honor guest at two dinners last
week-one given by the Minister of
venezuela and the other by the
Minister Of Uruguay. These were
the first of a series of farewell hos
pitalities which will precede Secre-
tary Colby's departure for South
America. He will return the visit
Of President Baltasas Brum, of Uru-
quay. who came avisiting here in
the summer of 1918. In fact as the
personal representative of President
Wilson and the nation, he will visit
all, the various countries whose chief
executives have been guests Of the
United States during the present ad-
ministretion and he will also accept
Observation-Disclosures to be her
guest. Mr., Colby will be gone six
weeks or two months, and. although
no definite date has been set for his
departure, II will probably be with
in the next week or two. 1t is not
expected that Mrs. Colby will ac-
company him.

DOUBLE ITALIAN
EVENT MISSING.

Owing to the absence of the
Italian Ambassador, Baron Romano
! -Avezana, there was no celebration
at the Italian Embassy beyond the
flying of the Italian flag although
that day was a double anniversary
for Italy-Armistice Day and the
birthday of King Victor Emmanuel.
And ones thoughts naturally went
back two years ago to that great
day when. on the signing of the
armistice.. the city went wild and all
diplomatic and official society gath
cred at the italian Embassy for a
ready-made celebration You see,
the late Count di Cellere-then
Italian Ambassador-and Countess
di Cellere had already sent out in
vitations for a reception in honor
Of the Kings birthday, and when
their guests came together It was
to celebrate the coming of peace.
There was great excitement about
that function, first because of the
two great events being celebrated
and because the President and Mrs.
Wilson attended in person-quite an
unusual proceeding for the Presi-
dent doesn't as usual thing set
foot on foreign soil. which an en-
bassy or legation Is: but then Presi-
dent Wilson broke many precedents
and even went abroad and visited
in foreign countries, as you know.

She was telling me such an anus

II seems she had a luncheon en-
gagement at a downtown restaurant
that is not quite so fashionable as
another restaurant near il. Her
chauffeur drove her car to the door
of the more fashionable hostcIry
and stopped, insisting that he could
not bring the car nearer her dCsri-

strange, but, believing he knew his

Ed Taylor, naturally as a represen-

effort reached. 1t is significant that
when the house was Democratic and

"his fight" for the bill did not amount
to a hill of beans, and that the bill
was as dormant as julius Caeser. 1t

of Claude Kitchin of North Carolina
when his party in congress was in the

as petition from Adolphus Busch

control of the house, under the leader

will become law.
