BOY CROSSES ATLANTIC ALONE:
REACHES CITY AFTER FINE TRIP
Randolph Leigh, Jr., Spent
Last Year at School
in Switzerland.
Impressed Somewhat by Alps,
but Liked St. Bernard
Dogs Better.

1t was a big crowd, a big ship and a
rather large ocean to at least one small
boy, particularly since he was travel
ing alone.
Yet the big liner scarce had left
Cherbourg when Randolph Leigh, jr.,
casting about for relief from HIS pangs,
noticed a ships menu and conSoled
himself with the thought that he could
order when and what he pleased.
Randolph, who arrived in Washing
ton yesterday. said 1t was good voy-
age from there on. He admitted, how
ever, to a time in midatlantic when he
was disposed to make very thoughtful
selections.
Not that I was ILL.," Randolph waved
away the thought, = Just careful. Be-
Sides" added Randolph, the ship must
have run out of sweets by that time
While he was on the subject Of
oceans, Randolph remarked that they
didn't have any in Switzerland, where
he was in school last Winter and
Spring at Chateau dock.
Plenty of Mountains.
but plenty of mountains-the Alps"
Here Randolph became so absorbed
with his reflections he forgot to answer
II he had learned to yodel in the Alps.
THE Alps were all right" admitted
Randolph who is IL years old and fond
of dogs, but liked the st. Bernards
better"
Randolph. it seemed. was on a topic
to his liking. He leaned forward in his
chair and quit drumming his heels on
the floor. Yes" he repeated, the st.
Bernards were better. saw a lot of
them in st. Bernard Pass. where one

And the puppies sat up and shook
hands with me-"
Against this friendly attitude Of the
puppies Randolph. somewhat sorrow
fully, balanced the fact that the grown
dogs were pretty grouchy lot.

That's because" Randolph said, "the
tourists poke them in the ribs so much
and pull their ears. I don't blame
them, but wouldn't want one to get
mad at me. They stand as high as
my shoulder and wear great brass
studded collars. When 1t gets cold and
most Of the tourists leave. then the dogs
cheer up some.
"One monk told Of dog named
Barry which saved 40 people and was
killed by the forty-first. The man
strangled Barry because he was afraid
that Barry had come to rob him.
I'm Winter the monks go skiing over
the slopes with packs Of st. Bernards

Randolph, who Is the son OF Ran

tional Oratorical Contest, was captain
of the school cricket team team

RESIGNS
POST AT ITALY
PRESIDENT HOOVER ACCEPTS
RESIGNATION OF AMBAS-
SADOR TO ITALY

Washington. June 25.-Henry p.
Fletcher, ambassador to Italy, will
conclude 27 years of diplomatic
service about Sept. 1, President
Hoover having reluctantly accept
ed his resignation at the insist
ance of the diplomat.
The chief executive has given
little thought to a successor, as
only urgent selections for the
diplomatic crops are being made
until Secretary Stimson has had
opportunity to complete his sur
vey of the field and make his
recommendations for new appoint
ments, and promotions and shifts
within the service.
Mr.. Fletcher is the third am
bassador whose resignation has
been accepted by President Hoov-
err, but the uccesso of only
one has been named, Charles G..
Dave S, replacing Alanson B.
Houghton, at London. No success
sor to Noble B. Judah, as ambas-
sador to Cuba has been chosen
nor has the place at Paris made
vacant by the death OF Myron
Herrick yet been filled.
Personal plans of Mr.. Fletcher
are not fully known to his friends
here, but there has been the sug-
gestion that he would like to
round out his career as a senator
from Pennsylvania. He is to COM
menc his leave of absence about
August Is. and his resignation
will become effective at the end
of this, approximately October 10.
Born in Greencastle, Pa, in
1873, Mr.. Fletcher has had an
eventful career, both in the field
of war and of diplomacy. After
being admitted to the bar in his
native state he joined Theodore
Roosevelt's celebrated rough rid
ers for the Cuban campaign in the
Spanish-American a He failed
to get his fill of fighting an San
Juan hill and saw service in the
Philippines during the instruction
there after the war with Spain
ended.
