has descended on Washing
- ton. Those who have put
off going to the numerous resorts
until late have deserted the Cap
ital in earnest, and the Washing
tonians who planned to spend
most of the warm season on the
continent or in the British Isles
have now decidedly made their
exits.
The giant liner belonging. to
the United States Lines, which
had such a successful and talked
of trial trip a week or so ago,
will put out from New York for
Cherbourg today, with capacity
list of passengers. Really, after
glancing over the names of just
a few of the notables from the
States who are going to Europe
on the Leviathan, one stops to
wonder just whom we have left In
this country.
DR.. Anton Tresich Pavichich,
the minister of the Serbs, Croats
and Slovenes, who planned some
time ago to spend the summer
in his own country, postponed
his vacation until he could jour-
ney eastward on the rehabilitated
German liner. He went to New
York yesterday to await her sail
ing today. The retiring Minister
of Bolivia and Nine. Ballivian
an dtheir attractive blonde daugh-
ter, all of whom we hate to lose,
are sailing for their new post at
Brussels and are making their
trip on the same liner. Assistant
Attorney General and Mrs. Robert
H. Lovett are also passengers on
the huge ship and plan to go
to Southampton from Cherbourg,
and from there will do Scot
land, Belgium, Holland, Switzer-
land and France. Like many OF
their countrynen theirs will be
a hasty tour, as they expect to
return to the States on the
George Washington the latter
part of August.
The retiring counselor of the
Spanish Embassy, Juan Francisco
de Cardenas, and his bride of a
week have also taken passage on
the I4eviathan, and after spending
a week or so in Paris they will
go to Berlin to be the guests of
her parents, the Rumanian Minis
ter to Germany and Nine. Nano.
Later the Counselor and Nine.
Cardenas will take motor trip
in Spain. It is expected that he
will be appointed minister to one
of the Scandinavian countries.
Albert D. Lasker, the retiring
chairman of the Shipping Board,
who has had so much difficulty in
defending his giant pride's trial
voyage, is also sailing aboard her
for vacation and rest in Europe.
and Cord Meyer, of the State De-
partment, has also taken passage.
Senator Reed Smoot is taking q
flying trip to Europe and is booked
as one of the liners notables, as is
Senator John w. Harreld of Okla
homa. Congressman and Mrs.
Britten will also sail on her today,
and plan to remain for several
months touring both the Continent
and the north of Africa and Egypt
before returning in time for Con-
gresS next December. Congress
man Martin B. Madden and his
two young grandsons are planning
a tour of England, France, Ger
many, Belgium and Holland and
are sailing as fellow passengers of
the Brittens. They will not re-
turn until late fall, and Mrs.
Madden is remaining in Washing
ton during their absence.
Congressman and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth are also sailing for a
short sojourn on the other side,
as are G. Bryan Pitts, Capt. and
Mrs. w. r. Bradford, Justice
George Sutherland, and Mr.. and
Mrs. G. Logan Payne. OF course
there are scores of others who
can be included in the head of
certain people of importance"
and there are hundreds of the
usual American tourist out to do
Europe.
CoL. GEORGE HARVEY, our
ambassador to the Court Of
st. James, and Mrs. Harvey had
planned to return to his post
aboard the Leviathan, but have
changed their plans and will re-
main for some time longer in
this country. At present, they
expect to sail for England the
latter part of July. Colonel and
Mrs. Marcellus Thompson, the
latter the daughter of Colonel and
Mrs. Harvey, arc the guests, of
