campus he has spent the past IS years
with the ministry OF foreign affairs in
Buenos Aires. He filled several minor
posts in Latin America before he came
to Washington in 1910 as first secretary
and later as counselor. His career IN
Mexico was brilliant and successful and
shortly after his transfer 10 the foreign
Office in Buenos Aires the legation of
Mexico was raised to an embassy. For
the next few years Senor Malbran was
sent on various special missions and in
1928. after he had acted as chairman
Of the Argentine delegation to the fifth
Pan American Congress, held in San
tiago de Chile. he was appointed AM
baSsador TO that capital. being the first
diplomat OF that rank TO serve in Chile.
He was holding that post when the
resignation of DR.. Pueyrredon was re-
ceived by the minister of foreign af-
fairs and he was named for the Wash
ington mission

Of absence from his post in Chile.

month ago. The presidential election
in that republic will occur on April 2
and 1t Is presumed the diplomat will
remain to participate in this event. He
will then return 10 Santiago to make
his official farewells and to terminate
all pending business in his embassy

Sible expedition the new Ambassador
could not get to Washington until the
very last days Of April. and probably
not until May He will find one of the
best equipped homes owned by any
foreign government in Washington
awaiting his arrival. His residence at
New Hampshire avenue and Corcoran
street was purchased by the first Am
bassador, DR.. Naon, who had been pro-
NOTED from the rank of Minister after
the A. B. c. conferences to end the
Mexican problem. DR. and Sonora Naon
spent much time in Europe, in fact
maintained a home in the south Of
France. and they devoted themselves

the Argentinan government had owned
on the soil of the United States. Un-
der Dr.. Thomas lie Breton the embassy
was entirely refurbished in the interior
and more handsome furniture was add

only personal belongings, as the EN-
bassy has now every luxury and con-
venience of the modern home.

POMFRET MAN SUFFERS BIGL0SS
 BY HURRICANE IN PORTO RICO
Plantation of Robert B. Moves Greatly Damaged.-Fam-
 lilies Made Homeless
Owner "A s.ens South With Material
 And Pr0visions

One of those suffering great finan- cial loss through the hurricane at Por- to Rico is Robert E. Moves, who has a fine summer home at pomfret. Mir. Moves owns q vast coffee plantation on the island. He received several tele- grams apprising him of the fact that buildings on his estate have been de- stroyed and that some fifty families employed on his plantation have been made homeless.
 Mir. Moves immediately left Pom fret for New York, where he assembled large quantities of roofing, material, and food supplies. He is sailing for Porto Rico today to afford such relief as he is able.
 Sparse Details
 On account of interrupted communi- cation the details as to conditions on the Moves plantation were meager, but enough was learned to cause alarm and to lead to the belief that the plan tat.on had suffered greatly from the storm and that immediate relief is inn perative.
 Mr and Mrs. Moves, who live in Porto Rico during the winter. have sfent two summers in Pomfret. This summer was the first season al their newly remodeled home, Tyrone HiIl.e which was formerly a part of the Bradley estate. Mrs. Moves was not in pomlret when word of the great havoc wrought to their Porto Rican home was received, as she is making preparations to go abroad to visit q sister in Paris.
