BELGIAN ENVOY TO LEAVE u. s.
TOBE AMBASSADOR TO ROME
Prince Albert de Ligne to
Retire After Brief Duty
in Italy. '
viii Be Replaced Here by
Jewish Diplomat, Who
Already Is Approved.

Prince Albert de Ligne, Belgian AM
baSsador to the United States since
1927, who will be replaced in Washing
ton, at his own request, early in jan
uary, is to end his own long and dis
tinguished diplomatic career after a
period of duty as the Ambassador of
his country to Rome.
Prince de Ligne. a Catholic, is to be
succeeded in Washington by an ortho-
dox Jew, it was learned here authori-
tatively today. The American Govern
ment already has approved the name
of the new Ambassador, but the appoint
ment it was said will be announced in
Brussels. Paul May, the Belgian Am
bassador at Rio de Janeiro, is among
those considered for the post.
Diplomat IS Years.
Family reasons and 35 years of ar
duous service as a diplomat were said
to be the sole reasons for Prince de
Ligne in requesting his transfer from
Washington. He expects, within short
time after serving at Rome, to retire
from service and live quietly on his own
vast estates in Belgium.
Some time ago the Ambassador ex-
pressed a desire to retire, but recon-
Sidered at the request of high Belgian
officials. In June, 1929, it was rumored
that he had been recalled. but this was
fatty denied in Brussels, the statement
saying at the time that his services
here had been entirely satisfactory. to
the Belgian government.
Prince de Ligne is Belgium's second
Ambassador to the United States and
is regarded as one of the ablest mem
berS of the diplomatic corps in Wash
ington. He is what is known as
career man" in the service and has
held important posts in many coun-
tries. Formerly the Belgian Minister
to The Hague, he succeeded in WASH.
ington Baron de Cartier de Marchienne,
who was dean Of the corps at that
time.
Daughters Aid Red Cross.
In addition to a son who is being
educated in European university, the
Prince and Princess de Ligne have three
daughters, the two elder being Princess
Elizabeth and Princess Antoinette, who
have been prominent in Washington's
social whirl. But the Ambassador and
his wife had different ideas of rearing
young daughters and a year ago the
young women engaged in charitable
and welfare work, part of which was
membership in the Gray Ladies, Red
Gross organization at Walter Reed Hos
pital, which works among the disabled
veterans.
Prince de Ligne has much regretted
his inability to be nearer his son, whom

he sees on the rare occasions OF his
return home. 1t is to be nearer him
and to terminate at as early date as
possible his own strenuous work IN the
diplomatic corps that he sought the
post at Rome, to which he is going
after a leave of absence, upon his de-
parture from Washington about Janu-
airy Is.
For more than century the Princess
de Ligne have been among the
most celebrated families of Belgium.
They have given to their country
statesmen, soldiers. churchmen and
educators. One of the most famous
of the family was Prince Charles
Joseph de Ligne, a. field marshal in
the Austrian armies He died in 1914.
Compliment to U. S.
The appointment of the present head
of the family to his post in Washing
ton three years ago was regarded as
a subtle compliment to the growing
prestige of the United States among
the European nations.
The Ambassador, has prominently
identified himself with American life
and particularly education. Although
he had never before held a diplomatic
post in the United States, he had mace
a visit here about % years ago. His con-
tact with Americans then and ms close
study of American affairs gave MN a
special interest in this country and
admirably fitted in with his important
ambassadorial duties, which he has
fulfilled in a manner eminently salts
factory both to the American and Bel
gian governments.
Prince de Ligne has been particularly
cooperative with Georgetown Univer-
sity during his stay in washington
and recently founded q medal In its
School of Foreign Service for the pro-
motion of closer intellectual relations
between his country and the United
States
