nence,

In the wake of so many changes Il
the personnel of the corps Of minister
assigned to Washington, the dignity o
becoming charge d'affaires descend
upon several we'll known bachelors.
Mr.. William j. B. Macauley. first sec
rotary of the Irish Free State legation
is an immense favorite in the younge'
set and possessed of all requisite draw
ing room accomplishments. He ma!
haen in washington for four years, bu
still retains his single bleSSedness, al
though exposed to all manner OF te:..o'
tations at the balls and banquets whlcr
he attends with zeal. Mr. Macauley L
a native of County Antrim, one OF thu
states of North Ireland, where many
sympathizers with the Free State move,
ment gained adherentS. He received
his collegiate training at famous TRINITY
College in Dublin and entered the dip
Iomatic service soon after the forma-
ton of the Irish Free State. He Is II
his late thirties. Mr.. Macauley has re-
ceived no official information as to the
coming of DR.. Michael MacWhite, the
successor of DR., Smiddy, hrst envoy
from free ireland, but this Will probably
not be delayed more than Few weeks
as the new envoy had alreaoy Ielt
Geneva. where he was stationed. ano
was In conference with the Dublin OH
Gals when his appointment was made
public last week. Mrs. MacWh1te Is
native Of Copenhagen and Is an artist
Of acknowledged ability.
Other Legation Heads
Among the AbSenteeS.
Senior Alexandra Cesar. Minister from
Nicaragua, who was recalled early TINS
month has been succeeded by Senior
Juan Sacasa, who will probably come 70
Washington in the next month. He
was the leader of the liberal govern
ment. which revolted from the existing
regime and led to the intervention OF
the United States and the sending OF
the present governor general OF the
Philippines, Mr.. Henry Stimson, to
ManaQua on a peace mission. Mean
time the charge d'affaires of Nicaragua
is one of the most popular members OF
the Latin American wing and one OF
it's most accomplished in the social
sense. Senior Zavala has many times
during the rather stormy years OF the
past acted in the role and always with
grace and entire satisfaction.
Although the exact date OF the re-
tirement of the Rumanian Minister, M
George Cretziano, has not been an
nounced. it is believed to be in the
immediate future. Prince Mihan r
Sturdza, counselor of the legation, who
will then act In behalf of Rumanta's
interests, is of distinguished lineage anc
had accomplished much before his as
sienment to this capital. After throw
ing of Turkish domination the princes
of the house of Sturdza held sovereign
power in the ancient country OF Mol
davia until the negotiations following
the World War disturbed the status
and eventually placed Moldavia under
the King of Rumania. Prince Sturo1a
was royal governor OF Clausenberg IN
Transylvania when he entered the for
eign service under the late King Fer
and served with distinction throughout
the campaigns in the south. Princess
Sturdza, who is native Of Bucharest
is a graceful and popular member Of
Washington society.
NJ. StaniSlaw Lepowski, who VIII be-
come charge d'affaires on the departure
Of the Polish Minister, NJ. Jan Ciex'
hanowski, is a popular member OF the
corps, erudite and socialable and in thu
category of bachelors.
Senior Angel Morales, Minister from
the Dominican Republic, has obtained
a long leave of absence, and with hi:
family, sailed during the past week fol
Santo Domingo. He is the youngest
envoy ever accredited to Washington
lacking several months of completing
his thirty-second year when he pre-
sented his credentials. A member Of
the international board in charge Of thu
local operations on the erection Of thu
mammoth lighthouse In the harbor o1
Santo Domingo, it is certain that Senol
Morales will be absent for many months
and indeed, it seems probable that h
may not return at all.
