was even announced that Prince Sa-

Minister. For a long time nothing hap

side tracked and Washington delighted
TO hear that the Lubomirslds were re-

visitor in town has been DE-. Solf, who
has been visiting the German Ambassa-

Dr. Solf himself was rather prominently
mentioned as under consideration as a
possible German Ambassador to these
