Ricci. who Is in italy. Rumor has
1t that he won't return. The same
Is said Of the French and japanese
ambassadors. but only time will
tell. II rumor happens to be cor
rect this time that will mean that
four new ambassadors will present
their credentials next winter
these three and q new envoy from
Argentina Then the rumor In
bobbing up that Sir Auckland
Geddes Is to be recalled as a result
Of Balfour's speech with regard to
debt cancellation which upset the
last Of the many recent interna-
ttonal conferences. I think 1t was
the last conferences: they come so
thick and fast lately that I've quite
lost count. However. 1t Is said Sir
Auckland smiled at the rumor, so
here's hoping II isn't so. The ab-
sentee members Of the italian star
are Mobile Tommaso Assereto. third
secretary; Vittorio Falorsi. secre-
tary. and Nine. Falorsi: Count d.
A Costantini. special adviser. and
Guido Buggelli. special adviser, and
Nine. Buggelli.
The departure of Guido sabetta,
charge d'affaires. about a week ago
for Europe. came rather suddenly
at the last He had Invitations out
for a party and had to call 1t on.
III health seems to have been the
reason for his recall. He had a
severe Illness some months ago and
his physicians advised against the
dog days in Washington. Conse-
quently he packed himself of to
q
OF July and stayed there until he
sailed. This left the secretary. Mr..
Celesia at the helm with the pros
pect VI a vacation fading In the dis
tance. He had engaged passage for
nome to spend month or two there
but had to give It up and Just now
he, his wife and small son. are
guests OF her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
WiIiiam H. Erhart at Cedarhurst.

Now that busy person. Dame
Rumor has II that Augusta Rossi
Is coming to succeed Mr.. Sabetta as
counselor and charge d'affaires.
That is good news for US, as he
made many friends here when he
was in Washington on the staff of
Marquis Cusani when he was Italy's
Ambassador at Washington. He
will come to Washington from
Greece, where he has been sta
Homeland I hear he is still a
bachelor.
