RNRESIDENT AND MRS. COOL
-IDGE have as guests Senator
and Mrs. Medill Mccormick.
OF Illinois. who arrived In Washing
ton last evening for q brief visit.
The Senator has just returned from
q short trip abroad. Mrs. McCOr-
mick spent the summer at Rock
River Farm, the big estate in I'LL
laois which she runs with such
skill that its dairy products are
famous all over Athe Middle West.
but she went to New York to meet
her husband on his return.
In view Of the fact that Senator
Mccormick Is now q flame duck
and that there has been recurrent
talk OF his availability for an am.
baSsadoriaI post, the present stay
Of the Senator and his wife Mark
Hanna's brilliant daughter is par.
ticularly interesting. To be sure
the two most important diplomatic
vacancies Mexico and Japan-have
been filled. But there are always
changes in the diplomatic corps
for example our ambassador to Ger.
many, Alanson B. Houghton. is be.
ing spoken Of as possible Cover.
nor of New York, with no less q
person than Colonel George Harvey
as sponsor, and should he. run
there will be g place to be filled in
Berlin.
One might, moreover, look farther
and fare much worse than Medill
Mccormick In the selection Of an
ambassador. The~son OF Robert Nc
Cormick. who was long member Of
our diplomatic service and was at
one time American envoy in Russia,
he may be said to have been born to
the service. Then, too, during all
his long career in the Senate he has
been e close student Of foreign at
fairs and is undoubtedly one OF the
best informed men in public life on
this important and Sengrossing sub
ject.
