idge with reaffirmation OF loyalty to
his chief, but with request that after
nearly 20 years of public service he
be permitted to return to private life.
The president, accepting the deci-
sion, expressed regret warmly praised
the retiring secretarys record of &C.
complishment since he took charge of
the country's foreign affairs four years
ago, and bespoke for him a well
merited repose" after the cares of
public responsibility.
Ambassador Kellogg, already famil.
lar with many of the outstanding prob.
lens of foreign policy through his
services at succession of European
conferences, probably will come to
Washington soon to serve for few
weeks in the state department before
he takes his new post in March.
Announcement of the impending
change was made at the White House
late Saturday and heard with surprise
by most Of official Washington. Mr..
Hughes had indicated that he de-
sired sometime in the future to leave
public office and recoup his private
fortunes by resuming the practice of
law, but some of those nearest him in
official life believed he would remain
for at least another year at the head
of the state department.
