observation-disclosures
And every day this list is being
added to, although it is whispered
that Secretary Of War Weeks
leans strongly toward Congress
man Crago.
Last week the Pennsylvania
delegation unanimously Endorsed
Colonel Crago for the appoint
ment, which must be made by
President Harding. However, the
situation is apt to plague the
keystone State representatives,
because strong boom has been
launched to have Major Barclay
H. Warburton, of Philadelphia,
named. Major Warburton served
in the Spanish-American war and
in the world war. He is the SON.
in-law of the late John Wanna.
maker. who was one time the
Postmaster General OF the United
States. ana his charming wife is
a nationally known figure in po-
litical circles, being the vice
chairman of the Republican State
Committee of Pennsylvania, and
most active and prominent in So
cial circles in Philadelphia, New
York and here in Washington.
GONE of the lame ducks pro-
test that they have had
enough of official life. Some ad-
NIT that they will remain here
in Washington. And some are
frankly interested in getting into
the diplomatic service.
There is precedent for that in
had already designated former
Congressman Allanson B. Hough-
ton as ambassador to Germany,
and in the impending designation
of Senator Miles Poindexter as
the American ambassador to Peru.
Two members of the New Jer.
leanings in this direction, it has
become noised about. Col. Richard
Wayne Parker, a veteran of
twelve terms in Congress from
New Jersey, is being spoken of
as an aspirant to represent the
United States Government in
Greece. Colonel Parker, striking
in appearance, is seventy-two
years old, and is an ardent horse
man, being frequently seen on
local bride paths. The other
New Jersey Congressman with
diplomatic leanings is Ernest r.
Alderman, who has been a men,
Der of Congress for three terms
and whose name is being linked
with the prospective appointment
of a new United States ambas-
sador to Turkey.
cot ley say" also that Guy
Golf has Supreme Court am
billions which may be realized.
And that Phil" Campbell, the
Lame duck" chairman of the
Rules Committee Of the House,
may get Mont Reily's place as
governor of Porto Rico before
long. We would not like that here
so much for that would take the
Campbells away from Washington,
and he has several such delight
full daughters. Helen Campbell,
a debutante of this season, is one
of the most attractive girls in the
younger set in society.
Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen
is another lame duck" who is
so close to the President that we
all feel pretty certain he will be
taken care Of in some way. The
chances of the Frelinghuysens
staying in Washington, indeed,
look pretty good-if they want
to stay, but l hear they don't
right now. The gossip is that the
Senator will go back to New Jer-
sey to start Immediately a Wig
orous campaign to defeat Senator
Walter Edge when he runs for re-
election two years hence. He is
going to start building up his politi.
cal machinery to that end at once.

And many Of US, who remem-
Der what Clement Hyde, in
Town and Country" loves to
call "our village Capital" in the
days when it was more village
and less Capital, are looking for
ward with genuine enthusiasm
to one of those long, leisurely
summers with Everybody" out
of town and those of us who re-
main behind freed from social
duties and social obligations and
boasting time and inclination to
cultivate social intercourse.
EVER since the war brought the
world to Washington the "sea-
son" has been more or less con-
tinuous performance. During the
war. of course, Congress was in
y ~ =
session almost without pause. The
President was even more continu-
aeusiy in residence" at the White
House and delegation after delega-
ton Of foreign dignitaries stream
ed into town the year round, so
that the summer was pretty nearly
as crowded as the winter months.
And even since the armistice spe.
cial Congressional sessions have
followed close upon the heels of
the regular sessions and recesses
have been but of a few weeks du-
ration. The President and his Of
fetal family have stayed in town
to watch Congress and the dipIo-
mats-more or less numerously-
to keep an eye on both the execu-
tive and the legislative branches
of the Government. And alto
gether not since 1914 has there
been such a general exodus to the
mountains or the sea as used to
mark the beginning of the dog
days.
THIS year, however, there is
likely to be a return to old
ways. After various individual
Journeys and collective junkets
which it has had in mind, Con-
gress will go home to renew &C
quaintance with it's constituents.
The diplomatic corps will pre-
sumably leave Washington early
and stay away late. either return
ing to its native habitat for a long
holiday or settling down at New
port, on the North Shore, or at
one Of grist of summer resorts
for the period of the warm
weather, as it used to do in the
good old days" Even the hard
worked Cabinet is likely to find
itself trying to solve the prob
lem of where to spend the sum-
mer; and it seems safe to pro-
phesy that for the first time in
many years there really will be
a summer White House."
THERE is a picturesque cottage
in the grounds of the Soldiers
Home, in which the Presidents of
a generation ago used to spend the
summer months. Presumably it
is available nov. but hardly ade-
quate for modern needs; and I
don't think it has been occupied
by a President at any rate
since Arthur's day.
Roosevelt put Oyster Bay on the
map when he was President. He
used to spend every summer there
and one time, l remember. there
were fleet maneuvers where he
could view them from his own
front porch. President Taft gave
up Murray Bay for the North
Shore on the theory, then pfeva-
ent, that it wouldn't do for the
President of the United States to
cave the country, but as soon as
ne ceased to be President he was
ured back to Canade by the charm

the creams COmc true"
Of course, it is a known fact
that Secretary of the Interior
Albert B. Fall is retiring from
the Cabinet. And the "dope"
Is that the present Postmaster
General, DR.. Hubert Work, will
succeed him. And for the place
originally held by Will Hays,
now car of the movies, the
names of Senator Harry S. New
of Indiana, who is retiring from
Congress, and Albert D. Lasker,
now chairman of the United
States Shipping Board, are be-
ing mentioned. Indeed, several
changes on the Shipping Board
are forecast.
A THOUGH official society here
is stfll somewhat upset by
the revelations contained IN the
articles written by Mrs. Miles
Poindexter, wife of the retiring
Senator from Washington, it is
much interested in the proposal
to send Senator Poindexter to
Peru as the United States am
bassador there, a position which
has been vacant for some time.
The gossip" is that the ap-
pearance in the East of these
home folks" stories written by
Mrs. Poindexter is the result of
differences between adherents of
the Republican floor leader of
the House, Representative Frank
w. Mondell, who retires from
public life, and those of Mr.. Poin-
dexter, who had urged them for
appointment as Secretary of the
Interior. The appearance of the
letters was said to be part of
the program to prevent POin-
dexter being considered for this
latter place, but it is now rather
certain that he will go to Peru
regardless. Ambassador and Mrs.
Poindexter,
n H e recent upheavals in the
United States Veterans Blu
reau and the uneasiness of the
crown of director" which is
worn by Col. Charles Forbes,
now en- route to Europe, has
brought out unconfirmed reports
that he is to be succeeded by
Col. Thomas W. Miller. Colonel
Forbes, it is being declared, is
to become Assistant Secretary Of
War. succeeding Col. ]. Mayhem
wainwright, who has been elected
to Congress. and will therefore
remain a Washington fixture.
However. James A. Drain, for
mer adjutant general Of the
State of Washington, and Col.
Thomas s. Crago. Pennsyl-
vania Congressman who is re-
firing to private life after five
years in Congress. are also be-
ing mentioned for this place.
And if Colonel Miller will re-
linquish his post as Alien Prop
erty Custodian to head the Vet
erans' Bureau, Mr.. Mondell is
declared to be in succession.
SINCE the President and Mrs.
Harding are planning TO 20
South Immediately after Con-
gress adjourns, and many of
the so-called lame ducks" are
declaring that they are not in
line for office, the discussion re-
mains purely in the line of
gossip in the main, with personal
friendships and desires upper
most in it's circulation.
There are certain political tag
tical elements in the situation,
however, which are known TO
be causing party strateGis:s
much concern in order that cam
paign material for Democratic
Use next year will not be created.

is nothing subtle about him. To think
