the Army-Navy game this year. OF

will go; they always do. "of course" /"
the Presidents going will all depend
on Mrs. Harding's health. Mrs. Hard
ing seems to be doing as well as can
be expected though she has had .
slight setback or two, I understand.
1t stin seems possible that Mrs. Hard
ing may go South before severe
weather sets In or just as soon AZ
she Is able to travel. President and
Mrs. Harding quite naturally did not
celebrate the formers birthday ami
versary last Thursday. Also on that
same day. two years ago. the Presi :
dent was elected to that ONCE. I
believe the President is ffty-aeven.

were not coming. Both the Chilean
Ambassador and Mme.- Matthew have
returned and also the Belgian Am
oassador and Baroness de Cartier.
Japan, 1t seems, will be without
an Ambassador for some time: both

Is rumored that Sir Auckland NAV
be leaving us shortly. but We are
hoping it isn't SO. for we have be-
come very fond of him and his de-
lightful wife. The rumor has grown
from the fact that Sir Auckland was
great favorite of Lloyd George,
and as that gentleman is not in ia
vor just now in England, his repre-
sentative may be replaced. Along
with the same rumor comes another
that Canada Is to have a special
Ambassador of its own.
THAT is a matter which has been
l under discussion for some time
and various names have been men
toned for the office. 1t is now said
that Sir Auckland rather opposed the
idea but the new powers that be
in England favor it strongly. Sir
Charles Fitzpatrick has been mem
toned now as Canadian Ambassador
no. his rank is to be minister. 1t
seems settled now that Rolandi
Ricci is not coming back as Italian
Ambassador. A change in govern
ment In Italy has settled that fact.
though the rumor that he would not
return has persisted for some months.
When he accepted the office here in
Washington, he said he would only
take it for year. However, he has
been Ambassador for several years,
though he'has spent so little time in
Washington that few of us feel we
know him at all. When not actually
out of the country, he has been
visiting Italian centers in this coun-
try. During the arms conference
last fall, I think he stayed here
longer than at any one other period.
Which brings to my mind the fact
that a Central American conference
is to be held in Washington next
month. which means a number of in
teresting people will be here for a
while and. Of course, will be the CEN
ter of much entertaining.
The Cuban Minister, DR.. de Ces-
pedes, is going home shortly to stay.
He has been sick almost the entire
time since he came back from Cuba.
The Chinese Minister, DIR. SEE, has
just gone home for a visit. How
ever. recently, the Minister of Po-
land and Princess Lubomirska re-
turned the middle of the week from
and the Swiss Minister and
Nine. Peter are just back; also the
Swedish Minister, Capt. Axel WAL
lenberg. Prince Lubomirska how
ever. is not going to stay; he is
merely coming to turn the legation
over to DR.. Ladislaw wroblewski,
now Polish Minister to Great Brit
ain. A new Netherlands minister is
about Christmas time, DR..
de Graeff, coming on from Tokyo,
where he is now minister from the
I think the Rumanian
Minister, Prince Bibesco, and the
Czecho Minister. DR.. Stepnaek, are
about the only two ministers we are
