 WASHINGTON. Nov Io - When Gcrmany's new ambassador arrives hrIo within the rcw weeks and looks over the diplomatic camping grounds he is pretty an, to con .idcr himself as an amba-sador,al .tcpchld, with very r.d hair and very crossed eyes.
 Germany hasn's had a diplomatic representative here for five years and i' that time there hay" been such cn1ngc, ,ba, when the little red brick embassy owned by Germany. is re- opened thn German ambassador is go- ing to find it is hardly more than buu.a'ow compared to th" magnificent rmbassv buildings which have been erected hnrn in the last few months.
 IN BERNSTORFF's TIME
 When Count Johan Von Bornstorft took his departure from Washington in rather nasty manner simo five 1u,rs ago. Gormauy had need for little envy in the matter Of her "mhassy here. Her embassy was ahou, ou a par with that of most of the larger powers Today. however, Germany is the last of the biz powers to br with. out magnificent amba~sadorial set ting in Washington. It is true that Great Britain still c!ings to ramb. ling old brick mansion covered with ivy vines, but then the bebrassed British marine and the massive bull dog that guard the front door of the British embassy give it far more i'm prcssiveness than granite portcochcres and grilled bronze doors could ever contribute.
 France has an embassy here that is an architectural monument Japan's diplomats are housed in a fine man sion. Italy's ambassador has no need to feel ashamed to invite his diplo- matic colleagues to his home, and even China has a legation that is nearly as impressive as the yellowskinned gen. tleman who answers the door
 CUBA OUTSKIRTS GERMANY
 Many of the small powers have far outstripped Germany in tho matter of handsome embassies Cuba has built a wonderful mansion on Sixteenth street, which reminds one of the days when there were feudal castles and such. And this Cuban mansion must also bo reminder of the Spanish am bassador who lives next door in a far less prctcuGous dwelling.
 Mexico has taken over the BrrcEeu- ridao Long residence. across the street from the Cuban legation De spite the fact that Mexico has no dip Ioma'ic representatives here. she is spending a nice little sum in rcrovat- ing and romodcliug the Long resi- dcncc. d stately mansion which was thought entirely fit as a residence ,or the king of Belgium when he visited Washington some time ago.
 Sweden has helped the unomploy- mcnt situation here by setting numer- ous carpenters and stone masons and other artificcrs at work on huge new embassy on Fifteenth street
 l Poland. new nation. has seen fit to take over one of the finest rcai- dences on fashionable Sixteenth street Many of the other new na- tions and some not so new. but never theIess prosperous, have recently es- tabIished themselves in fine homes in fine sections of the city
 Tho German ambassador will prob. ably feel lonesome when he arrives here, for though the German embassy is not a shack it hardly compares with the official dwelling places of the majority of the diplomatic corps here.
 No doubt the ever alert real estate men of Washington. who talk and dream in figures that one cant count oa his figures, already have thr new German ambassador listed a5 2 prospect"
