PARIS, May 1.-Rumors of the re-
moval Of Ambassador Juaserand from
his post at Washington were emphati-
cally denied her eto-day on this best
authority. Even in the event of his
resignation, which is not expected, it is
not likely that Perretti de la Rocca
would be appointed, as there are many
before hi min line for such an impor-
tant post.
Premier Poincare, whose tempera-
ment is judicial, would not allow the
ambassador to be recalled without def
mite cause and Poincare would sacrifice
his personal feelings in favor of equity,
it was said in Searters close to the
French Premir.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The French
Ambassador to the United States, Jules
Jusserand, to-day conceded that his re-
call was imminent. Discussing the
situation with the correspondent the
Amba ssador said that while he has
heard nothing officially he was con-
vlnced that recent dispatches from
Paris naming his successor were found
ed on accurate information
The dean of the diplomatic corps here
visited the White House to present to
the President two French academicians,
Andre Chevrillon and Maurice Donnet
Before leaving the executive Offices, NJ
Jusserand commented briefly upon the
Paris dispatches Of Saturday indicat-
ing that Count Perreti de la Rocca is
to succeed him.
There was hint Of sadness in the
manner of the veteran diplomat as he
talked about giving up his post.
IF the story be true" he said, 81
shall, Of course, obey the dictates of
my Foreign Office. | always have and
l always SHALL
He indicated that ne would with
draw from diplomatic life and work
upon a book covering the activities Of
twenty years In this country. Ambas-
sador and Nine. Jusserand plan to leave
for France in June or July, according
to their custom since the war, and
spend the summer in Europe. At that
time the Ambassador expects to learn
officially whether he is to continue
h ere.
Should he be recalled, he will be re-
garded as the sufferer for the sins
of the French delegation to the Wash
ington conference. 1t is pointed out
that Viviani, Briand and finally Sar-
raut did much to ALLEVIATE sympathy
for France by their attitude and
manner.
These officials on their return to
France, it is said. busted themselves
in rejecting upon the work of NJ. JUS
serand and stating that the Ambassa-
dor was at all times out of touch with
American sentiment and therefore in
no position to advise safely the French
delegation.
The gradual undermining of M. JUS
serand's prestige in this country as
we'll as at home has been going on for
some time. 1t progressed with the
visit to this country of Rene Viviani
on a special mission soon after Presi-
dent Harding entered the White House
and reached it's head with the conduct
of the French delegation TO the con-
ference since their return.
One thing the Ambassador has de-
termined to do in the event that his
government no longer desires his
services here, and that is to take an
extensive journey through the United
States, an opportunity he has wished
for many years.
