RETIRING ENVOY
TURNS EYES'HOM
Sir Esme and Mrs. Howard
Speed Plans for Return
to London.
BY MARGUERITE YOUNG,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

Sir Esme Howard, the British Ambas-
sador and his wife, Lady Isabella, are
busily preparing for retirement next
month to a comfortable town house in
London, where he will bind books and
she will watch over a son getting ready
to enter the diplomatic service, just as
the father entered it As years ago.
The ancient and pretentious house
they occupy now, the embassy that
stands on the first ground purchased by
a foreign government for its ENJOYS to
the United States, is also approaching
the end of its career.
Before its occupants leave it will be
brilliant once more with formal din
ner party for Americans. Another ia
nous visitor will be entertained in it,
and few more small, intimate groups
will have tea for last time within the
mellowed walls.
Building Already Sold.
But with the departure the embassy
will be turned over to a Wrecking crew.
Already it has been sold to real estate
dealer, and a splendid new mansion is
nearing readiness for the new Ambas-
sador, Sir Ronald Lindsay, and his
American wife. They will come next
Spring.
Sir Esme and Lady Isabella will leave
it with mingled feelings. h.dy Isa-
bella's secretary said today:
"They are eager to get home to be
with their four sons-sons they have
seen so little, they think. But they are
sorry to go away from here"
One of those sons, Edmond, is just
20 now.
The one who will follow in his fathers
footsteps, Hubert, is %, and there is
another still older, Francis, who already
is an attorney. Henry, the youngest, is
just Is and still is attending school in
preparation for a career in the army.
Hubert was born in Washington.
To Live With Parents.
All of the boys will live with their
parents, the secretary said. That, in
fact, is why Sir Esme and Lady Isa-
bella are planning to buy a house in
town. They will spend their Winters
in Rome, where they were married
about quarter of a century ago.
Bookbinding will not be a business
the secretary said, but a hobby. Sir
Esme will occupy himself with 1t for
his pleasure, at his leisure.
Lady Isabella, too, retains a youthful
vigor. Her unfiagging enthusiasm dur

YOUTHFUL CRIME
IN D. c. DEPL0RED
Deputy U. s. Marshal Pleads for
Return to God Before Church
Group.

That youthful crime wave Is sweep
ing the Capital City and every other
city in the land was the declaration Of
Deputy United States Marshal James
S. Mccarthy in an address last night
before the Christian Endeavor Society
Of the Congress Street M. E. Church.
In this city, the seat Of the Federal
Government, and in plain view of the
White House, he said, youthful bandits
shove revolvers into the faces Of citi-
zens and rob them of cash and other
property. He added these youthful
bandits are not of the unlettered type,
but in most cases have eighth-grade
educations, and in many instances are
high school graduates. In many in
stances they are the offspring of par
entS descended from the oldest and best
American families, he asserted.
Mccarthy said, in his Judgment, the
root Of the evil lies in the home be-
cause parents do not discipline their
children, teach them to believe in God,

MILITIA OF 10000
PLANNED THIS YEAR
Proposal for Additional Units
and Headquarters Given
House Group
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An improved and more tactically ef-
f1cient National Guard will be brought
to a strength of 10000 during the re-
mainder of the current fiscal year.
Plans for additional headquarters and
units were given the House War De-
partment appropriations subcommittee
by Maj. Gen. William G.. Everson, chief
of the Militia Bureau.
Increases in strength authorized for
the fiscal years 1929 and 1880, together
with number of conversions, he said
"have improved the organization and
tactical efficiency of the infantry divi-
sions and harbor defense troops"
ut should be noted" Gen. Everson
pointed out, that the two increments
of 1929 and 1880 have not materially
increased expenditures, and 1t is hoped
that another increment may be author
lied in 1882"
The position of the Secretary of War,
that though it was highly desirable" to
make an increment for 1881, it would
have to be omitted due to other In
creases in the department budget, was
outlined to the committee.
The National Guard program for
reaching a strength of 10000 in 1888,
it was pointed out, would not be endan-
gered through omission of the 1881 out
lay.
