Moscow, April 3 (By the As. sociated Press) -- Vicar Gen Butchkavitch has been executed
 The Pravda says the execu- tion occurred on March 31. The newspaper Izevstia asserts:
 "The sentence of death on Butchkavitch, whose reprieve was refused, has been carried out"
 The time and place are not given.
 The Iszvestia prints the, announce ment on an inside page under one line head in it's court news depart ment
 In the Pravda the execution is noted briefly without comment in a column of local news.
 Executed By Firing Squad.
 Monsignor Butchkavitch met death before firing squad.
 Even up to last night therel were rumors that an exchange might be arranged. Responsible officials how ever, branded the rumors as false and asserted that soviet justice must take its course regardless of protests and attacks abroad.
 Details Kept Secret.
 The details of the prelate's execu- ton probably will never be known. Judging from what has happened in previous cases it is thought probable that after the executive committee had refused to reprieve him he was removed from the prison in which his colleagues were confined to the prison for the condemned and that there, after tLc death sentence sl,ad been

Prominence in the diplomatic
set Is IN no sense regulated by
seniority. But precedence Is. The
distinction il very real. The
embassies Of the larger countries,
like Great Britain. France and

here usually entertains for them.
There was q great deal Of enter
tanning done during the disarma-
ment conference here a year ago,
particularly by the French en-
bassy.
The British embassy is probably
most active socially, and its
events are designed to appeal to
young and old alike. The British
are especially punctilious about
their diplomatic duties, and give
some very elaborate functions.
SOME DISTINCTIONS.
find among q great many
people q rather confused idea as
to the distinction between an am
bassador and q minister, and not
only that, but even among sue
cessful business men there seem
to be many who have no very
clear idea as to what constitutes
the difference between the diplo-
matio and the consular service.
The distinctions are, Of course,
very important in Washington,
for here, for instance, a Senator
outranks a minister, but ranks be-
low an ambassador.

ence. It may sound cumbersome
and artificial, but for all that It
is extremely valuable perhaps
even Indispensable. With the
principles of precedence and
seniority once fixed there Is no
argument as to the place Of any
official In society. II the rules
were less rigid, the way would be
opened to personal prejudices and
Determinations. and the results
would probably be unhappy for
all concerned.
Now there's no question about
things you have your place and
you stick in it until you move up

wives. The women Of the diplo-
matic corps are most punctilious
about their social duties and en-
gagements-much more 50 than
American women. I have heard
women cite their objections to
making certain. calls which 1t was
their duty to make, but IL their
husbands hold official positions
they must expect to do some
things they don't like.
