Princess LubomtrskA were re-
turning everybody was delighted.
It developed. however, that they
were only coming for a few weeks.
probably with the idea Of setting
the legation in order to turn over
to the new minister.
WITH the new President in
" augurated in Argentina, the
appointment Of DR.. LIE Breton's
successor as ambassador, to the
United States II likely to be made
at any time. So far. however.
I've heard no rumors a. to who
It is to be-. DR.. LIE Breton, by
the way. must be busy as bird
Dog. for he II at present holding two
portfolios In the cabinet Of Presi-
dent de Alvear. He Is secretary
Of Agriculture-his regular Job
and he In acting foreign minister
pending the arrival in Buenos
Ayres Of Senior Gallardo, who.
until his elevation to the foreign
ministry, was Argentine ambassa-
DOR at Rome.
It 10 said that DR.. Le Breton's
appointment to the department o.
agriculture was largely due to
the work he performed in gather.
ing agricultural information for
his government during his stay
In Washington. This is, Of
course. q subject Of tremendous
importance to a great sgricul-
tural country like Argentina and.
IN fact. the government maintains
an attache at the embassy hero
who devotes his time solely to
the investigation Of agricultural
problems.
TT Is rumored that the new am

Baron Ishii. now ambassador at
Paris, or perhaps Mr.. Hanihara.
who was one Of the japanese
delegates to the arms conference.
Either would be persona grata,
for both have served at the en-
bassy here and both have many
friends. It was Baron Ishii, you
may remember, who was head of
the Japanese war mission which
visited this country in the earlv
days Of our participation in the
great war and afterward he was
ambassador here for little
while, presenting his credentials
to President Wilson in 1918.
I never heap Baron Ishii's
name without thinking back
to the reception given in honor
Of the japanese mission by
the japanese ambassador OF
the moment, Aimaro Sato. which
was one Of the most picturesque
events Of q season which made
history. ! remember that two
rival stars stole the spotlight from
the Missionaries" Nine. Tamiki
Miura, the engaging little Japan
ese prima donna, who sang
during the evening and who was
gorgeously clad in the rich silks
and embroideries Of old Japan.

ments, one hears that the new
Greek government is likely 10
send Iambros A. Coromilas to
Washington as Minister. This
news il particularly pleasing to
the old timers who remember the
Roosevelt Administration, for they
knew Mr.. Coromilas when he was
Greek Minister here from 1901 to
1910. were fond Of his wife. who

This was very brilliant event,
with the President and Mrs. Roose-

and attending the reception at
Rauscher's. where were assembled
the diplomatic corps, the Cabinet,

THE fact that Brig. Gen. Enoch
Fl. r. Crowder blew into Wash
ington just as DR.. Carlos Manuel
do Cespedes. some time Cuban
minister at Washington and now
minister Of foreign affairs at Ha.
vana, returned and that the two
were frequently closeted with Sec.
retaYy Hughes. gave color to tho
rumor that General Crowder is to
be our next minister to Cuba. 1t
would be a logical appointment, as
the general is nearing the age Of
