shington-Nominatio by Presi-
dent Coolidge of Dr. Jacob Gould
Schurman, now American minister at
Picking, to succeed Alanson b. Hough-
ton as ambassador to Germany, and
it's prompt confirmation by the senate,
completed the realignment of major
diplomatic assignments in Europe. 1t
appeared improbable, however, that
Ambassador Schurman's successor in
Picking would be nominated in time
for consideration at the present ses-

The transfer of DR.. Schurmann to
Berlin is regarded by state depart

that it withdraws him from the Pc
king legation at time when political
and economic conditions in China and
the far east have generally given that
post outstanding importance.
