be a grist of changes in the CORDS
For one thing theren be a new
Argentine ambassador and for an.
other there's already a new injn.
lister OF Serbs, Croats and Slo.
venes. DIR. Anton Tresich Pavisich.
who has arrived in WASHINGTON
and settled down at Wardman
Park Hotel for the present. Hs'A
very delightful person, a writer
OF distinction as we'll as pro.
found student OF the history and
politics OF the Near East. Yes.
he's married, but his wife does
not propose to join him until
later.
The one fly in the ointmen.
with regard to his appointment is
the fact that the Grouitchies are
going. DR.. Grouitch represented
the Serbian government here be.
fore there was kingdom Of the
Serbs, Groats and Slovenes, and
there is no more popular member
OF the diplomatic corps. More
over, his wife. an American WON.
an, has endeared herself not only
10 her colleagues of the corps but
TO all Washington. Although
much of her time and strength
have been devoted to organizing re-
lief work for the war.torn coun.
try OF her adoption, she has al
ways been ready and willing TO
serve as patroness for any deserv.
ing local charity-and to Nine.
Grouitch that meant something
more than the mere lending OF
her name.
II was over Il year ago that DR.
GrouitCh was appointed to a post
at the Serbian court. but somehow
it didn't seem that he could be
spared from his duties here. At
length, however. his successor has
arrived-Dr. PavisiCh Is a Eroat in
Difference TO the fact that some
500 900 of the 100000 Serbian
speaking people in this country are
CToatian-and he is starting for
home along about the end OF OC-

Nine. GrouiiCh expects to lingcr
in this country for several weeks
after her husbands departure--in
fact, she means to delay her ar
rival at her Serbian home until
there Is time for her household
goods to be delivered in Belgrdv.
Moreover. she plans to visit New
York, Boston. Buffalo and half
score of other cities in which
Serbian relief organizations have
been built up under her direction.
She hopes TO persuade the leaders
Of these groups to carry on even
after the stimulus of her pres"nC@
is removed, for the need Is a.
urcat as ever and, with war flam-
ing up again in the Near Eas'. no
one knows what future demands
may be.
Through Nine GrOuitCh's organ
ization thousands Of dollars have
been collected in this, her native
country. and expended for the re.
habilitation of the land IF her
adoption. The work is carried on
principally among the children,
orphans many Of them and all
destitute, and the plan Is 70 sec

opportunity to achieve q practical
education. So to drop the work
now. with the task half accomplish.
ed, would be to waste the none%,
the effort and the enthusiasm
which has already been expended.
SEVERAL changes In the per-
sonncl of the British embassy
staff are promised-or perhaps
should say characterization this
fall, but so far the only one
officially announced is the ap.
pointment of Capt. Francis
Tottenham, r. N, to succeed
Capt. Sidney r. Bailey as naval
attaChe. He is scheduled to
arrive the middle of October and
little later Captain Bailey will
return TO England, taking with
him his bride who was Miss
Mildred Bromwell OF Washington.
He has asked for sea duty and
will be given his ship, but before
that, l understand, he will have
leave and will take his bride
home to introduce her to his
people.
Just now Captain and Mrs.
Bailey are on their way back
from South America, where they
have been spending their honey
moon. The Captain was detailed
to represent the British navy at
the ceremonies attending the
