THE shake.up in the diplomatic
4 establishment in Washington is
assuming alarming proportions. Hard
upon the news OF the resignation
OF the former Minister Of Norway,
III. II. Bryn from his country's serv-
ice and of the approaching transfer
Of Don Ricardo james Freyre, Min
fster OF Bolivia, to Spain, comes
word that DIR. Ante Tresich Pavich-
ich, Minister OF the Serbs. Croats
and Slovenes, has been recalled.
And it is said, on excellent author
ity that the next to go will be Kasys
Biasauslxas, Minister OF Lithuania,
who is to be transferred to London,
one Of the most important posts in
his country's service.
We are still hoping that we may
keep the Bryns with US, for Mr..
Bryn has served so long in this
country as to have a quite Ameri-
can outlook, his children have
grown up here ana his younger
daughter, Laura, is to form p+rman-
ent ties with the United States in
her marriage to an American,
Francis Winslow.
But Senior Freyre is expected to
leave within a few weeks in the
hope that his health, which has
been frail for some time and which
has been seriously affected by the
recent death OF his wife, may be
benefited by change from Wash
ington to sunny Madrid.
A Classical Scholar
DR.. Pavichich, happily, win not
leave for several weeks. He has
matters of diplomatic business to
wind up and besides he could not
bring himself to miss spring in
Washington. The Minister, great
walker, goes for a tramp in the
park every day and he has fire.
quently said that, wherever he
might be, he would always make an
effort to return in time to see
spring come to Rock Creek Park,
which he regards as the worlds
loveliest playground.
The Serbian envoy has been wide
w praised in diplomatic circles for
the finesse with which he handled
the debt settlement for his country.
He is a scientist, writer Of abil-
ity and is said to be the most COM
pIete classical scholar in the diplo-
matte corps. He quotes the Odes
Of Horace as casually as another
man might quote Kipling or Robert
Service.
Apparently DIR. Pavichich is. to
leave the diplomatic service for it is
said that he will probably retire to
his estates on the Dalmation coast to
follow literary pursuits. At the same
time that Dr. Pavichich submitted
his letters of recall to the State De-
partment he named his successor,
NJ. Antonijevitch for the approval of
the American Government.
The new Serbian Minister is about
~ years old. He has been in the
diplomatic service Is years. During
the war he was secretary to the
Serbian legation in London, going
from there to Rome three years ago.
He was appointed Minister at Mad
rid last year.
Dinner Saturday Night
Or. Pavichich has the reputation
of being one of the most delightful
hosts in the Diplomatic Corps.
Despite the absence of a chatelaine
OF his legation he Ii able neverthe-
less to achieve in entertaining the
charm that is supposed to go with
the feminine touch" The floral
decorations at his receptions and
dinners are usually most effective,
DR.. Pavichich entertained a large
company at dinner at the legation
Saturday evening. Among the
guests were the Italian Ambassa-
dor, Mobile Giacomo de MARITIME,
Senator and Mrs. Lawrence D. Ty-
son, the Guatemalan Minister and
Nine. Latour, the Rumanian Min
lister, Mr.. Cretziano, and his daugh.
ter. Mile. Cretziano, Mrs. Thomas
F. Walsh, Judge and Mrs. C. C.
McChord, and Mr.. and Mrs. Ken.
meth Gilpin, son-in.law and daugh.
ter of Senator and Mrs. Tyson.
