The most brilliant feature in Wash
ington on New Year day, the White
House reception not excepted is the
breakfast given by the Secretary Of
State to the diplomatic corps, and the
entertainment extended by the Secre-
tary and Mrs. Hughes today must nee
essarily reflect its brilliancy through
future years. The Pan-American Union
building, with it's lofty entrance hall
and stately stairways leading to the
hall of nations above, lent itself ad-
mfrably to the assembling of the sew
eral hundred diplomats and the notable
guests asked to be present at noon today.
There were palms and ferns arranged
as a background, where the Secretary
and Mrs Hughes stood in receiving,
and on the two long tables further down
the room. where the buffet breakfast
was served. were tall baskets niieo Win
the glow of gorgeous poinsettia blos-
SONS and branches of pussy willow,
three baskets on each table. Adding
additional color were the scarlet coats
of the Marine Band orchestra, stationed
midway the room. Several of the White
House aides were there to alternately
make presentations and assist IN nam
ding the guests.
Friendly Atmosphere.
The Secretary and Mrs. Hughes re-
ceiyed alone, the latter wearing an
effective gown of purple velvet embroid, :,
cred in silver and a hat of velvet and
silver. In the years OF their ofnclal
residence in Washington the changes
in the diplomatic corps have come
quite gradually, and there was a
friend1iness and informality about the
days. such as when the late Secretary
of State and Mrs. John Hay enter
tanned only the ambassadors, minis
ters, charge daffaires and their mill
tary and naval aides ,s,s at sthest the breakfast
Today there was a dignified but
open hospitality about the breakfast
as arranged by the Secretary and
Mrs. Hughes that was brilliant and
charming Members of the cabinet
and their wives and daughters were
guests, as were the members OF the
Supreme Court and their wives, the
m members of the foreign affalrs ana

gress officials of the State Depart
ment and some other guests Oh dls-

Crowd Watches Arrivals.
The diplomats, preceded by the am
bassador of France and Nine. Jus
serand and their suite, were received
according to the arrangement or the
, diplomatic list as nearly as possible,
the various heads of missions and
their staffs passing on down the room
after being received to mingle with
others and enjoy the American feast
and later to dance few steps to the
music of the orchestra
The scene outside the building was
an interesting one, many residents
assembling to watch the arrival and
departure of guests. Greatly adding
to the pleasure of the breakfast was

10000 ENFIELDs ON HAND.
100000 Rounds Ammunition and
Ten Airplanes Available.

By the Associated Press.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, January Il
Ten thousand Enfield rifles, 5,0O0,O00
rounds Of ammunition and ten air
planes are the quantity of the pur-
chase of arms and munition sought
to be effected by the Mexican federal
government from the United States
government, and arrangements for
the purchase of munitions have been
completed between the two govern
ments, according to announcement of
Alexandra Lubbert, consul general of
Mexico in San Antonio. However,
neither headquarters of che Sth Corps
Area, Fort Sam Houston, nor Mai.
P. J. r. Keihl, commandant of the
San Antonio arsenal. had received
word up to late yesterday from Wash
ington.
There is a supply Of Enfield rifles in
excess of the requirement of the 8th
Corps Area in storage at the arsenal,
it was learned, and 1t Is considered
probable that these will be the ones
sold to Mexico. While not as modern
in all ways as the type now in use
in the United States Army, the rifles
are excellent ones. No mention Of any
type Of artillery or other equipment
was made by Mr.. Lubbert, with the
exception of rifles and cartridges
Once the order is received, delivry of
the munitions could be made in a
short time by the arsenal, officers
there said.
