The whole story of my struggle for

and rather exceptionally poor parcn-
tage. The first eighteen years of my
life amounted to but little education

SCHOOLS were short and not the best.

SHAKE UP IN DIPLOMATIC
 CORPS AT CAPITAL IN WAKE :.: OF ARMS FARLEY FORECAST
Envoys of England, France Japan and Italy Are Reported Due for Relief From Washington
 Labors; Two Meet Criticism

Washington, according to diploma atic observers. and it was due in no small measure to this efforts that Great Britain emerged from the Armament Conference without having met defeat in single issue
 The British Ambassador is more American" than any of his predeces- sors in the picturesque old British Embassy here. He has a direct speech, almost blunt sometimes, and has little of the characteristic Brit ish accent. As matter of fact, he is a Canadian. which may account for most of it. His critics in Great Brit ain find fault with him because he does not have the worshipful regard for family trees that many English diplomats possess.
 Vittori Rolandi Ricei. the Italian Ambassador. is reported scheduled for an early departure from Wash ington. M. Ricei is understood to be anxious for relief. He is said by his friends to want to devote his time to the betterment of Italy's economic system
 JAP ENVOY IS BLAMED
 kjiuro Shidehara. the Japanese Ambassador. who has had a great number of controversial problems to settle with the American State De- partment. will in all probability re- turn to Tokio. Shidehara is understood to be lin bad" with the powers in Tokio, and there has been much criti- cism in his own country of his work in the arms conferencee.
 It is recalled that at one critical juncture of the conference proceed ings Ambassador Shidehara became acutely i'll and did not participate in the affairs of the conference for some time. It was facetiously suggested by some irreverent observer at the time that the Japanese Ambassador was suffering from Congestion of the cables"
 In any event, it was an open secret that there were strong differences of opinion within the Japanese delegation, with Shidehara and Prince Tokugawa on the one hand and the military and naval figures, headed by Admiral Baron Kato. on the other. At one time Kato was conducting all of Ja- pans negotiations almost single-hand- ed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-A severe shake-up in Washington's diplomatic Corps is expected to follow in the wake of the armament conference
 Unless the tea-table strategists are ali wrong in their st1rmises-and they seldom are-some of the most familiar figures in the Capitals foreign col. ony are due to be relieved when the armament conference finally melts away. They will either be assigned to other posts, put on home duty, or retired. It is not improbable that some of them will be found in Genoa when the powers meet there on March 8 to settle those, world problems which Paris and Washington failed to settle.
 All the envoys of the so-called Big Four" Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan-are due for early relief from their American assignments, ac- cording to expectations that prevail in diplomatic quarters.
 JUssERAND TO BE RETIRED
 Jules J. Jusserand. the Ambassador from France. who Is Dean Of the Corps. is to be retired. according to reports. Ever since the war ended M Jusserand has been the target of con- siderable criticism in his own coun- try. Some of his opponents have laid the blame at his door for the loss of French prestige in America. He is also blamed for failure to put the French position in the Armament Conference "in a better light" He is advanced in years, and there is de- mand for younger blood.
 If NJ. Jusserand is retired it will leave the Spanish Ambassador, Senor de Riano, as the Dean of the Washing ton Corps. And If anything should happen to him Washington would be in a terrible predicament, for that would leave the deanship within M. Bakhmeteff, the Russian ambassador. who hasn't had a government to rep resent for more than four years now, but who still is the accredited Rus sian envoy, in spite of that fact.
 Reports recently were printed in London, that Sir Auckland Geddes, the British Ambassador. was to be with drawn, but these were subsequently, denied. The impression prevails, how ever. that Sir Auckland's tenure of the American office is soon to expire. He has made a notable record in
