The Washington herald., 1921-08-07

WIS.,
from a visit out there. He has to
go off speechmaking and opening
meetings and the like every little
while, too.
Constantly going and coming in
and out of Washington are ambas-
sadors and ministers OF the United
States, the old ones coming back
tc report and give up their positions
and the new ones coming to receive
instructions from the State Depart
ment before sailing to assume their
new duties. For instance, Cyrus f.
Woods, of Greensburg. Pa, who was
recently appointed our Ambassador
tU Spain. spent most of last week
here getting instructions, as he will
leave shortly for his post. He would
undoubtedly have been received by
the President IL he had been in
town. Washington is anticipating
with particular pleasure the COM
ing Of the new United States Am
bassador to Japan and Mrs. Charles
Bcecher Warren, OF Detroit, who
resided here during the war and
made many sincere friends. They,
with their sons, sailed last week
from England where they have been
travelling; have been touring Europe
for about two months in fact, and
they plan, it is understood. to come
to Washington from New York
where they will land They will
leave next month for Japan.
Even the residents come and go;
those who are established else
where for the entire summer. One
thing or another attracts them
back here for an occasional visit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sylvanus Stokes. for
example, who have been at New
port for some time, came back last
week to inspect their new Massa-
chusetts r.enue home now under
construction. They have gone back
to Newport. and late this month
will go abroad to pass the fall in
Paris
CONGRESSIONAL PARTY
ON WAY TO SWEDEN.
Another small exodus took place
last week when the members of the
American delegation to the biennial
meetings of the Inter-parliamentary
Union at Stockholm, Sweden. which
York and sailed Wednesday,
The party includes Senator Will
liam B. Mckinley, Senator Thomas
]. Walsh. Senator Joseph T. Robin
son. Representative Edwin B.
Brooks. Representative Fred Brit
ten. Representative Andrew J. Mon
tague. and former Representative
James L. Sladen. Of Texas, Mrs
Montague accompanied her husband.
The sessions of the union will oc-
cupy three days and the Congress
sional party expects to return Sep
tember 3.
The last meeting was held in
Switzerland in 1919. Members Of the
legislative bodies in the various
countries are qualified for the In
terparliamentary Union. which was
organized about thirty-five years
ago. About 175 members of Con-
gress are members.
CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT
RETURNS TO CAPITAL.
~hief Justice william Howard
Taft came back to town last
~ week. though he had not ex-
pected to see the Capital again un-
til October. but business matters
made it necessary for him to return
He has sold his home in New Haven,
Conn, and will probably buy here
in the fall.
Perhaps it was because the Presi-
dent was away and could not re-
ceive any noted visitors, that none
came to Washington last week
which certainly is very unusual.
The president of the Italian SEN
ate, Tomasso Tittoni who arrived
from Italy last week and is ac-
companied by his wife will prob
ably wait until the President re-
turns to receive him before coming
to Washington. His visit here is
unofficial. He came to lecture at
the School of Politics at Williams
College but he brings with him a
letter from King Victor Emman-
uel congratulating the Presi-
dent on his election, so naturally
he wants to be sure to see Mr..
Harding.
SOCIETY STILL DISCUSSING
LORD NORTHCLIFFE'S VISIT.
Washington is still discussing
the visit of Lord Eorthcliffe, a visit
that caused all sorts of excitement
and which was discussed on two
continents at least, because OF
its relation to the Northclitte-
Lloyd George-Curzon quarrel. re-
sulting in the cancelIng of the din

planned to give for Lord North

some excitement. For instance
when the overseas writer's were
entertaining Lord Northcliffe at
luncheon he calmly left the table
for a moment to send a tele-
gram to the King, don't you know
just as you or l would telegraph
