Runway Maclionald started for America Saturday in the Berengaria's "imperial suite" built for the kaiser. liittle did the. all-highest think he was building that ship for Knglund, still less that his imperial apartment would lie dfvupied by a former workinir man ruling the British empire, as prime minister. "He hath put down the mighty, lie hath lifted the humble.'.'

Shearer today almoHl as soon as he had taken the witness chair belure a senate committee inquir ing Into his activities at the Geneva conference for naval limi tations.

The witness asked consent to tell his own story in his own way at once, but Shortridge said the committee would not divert from its regular CO time. "This is my party," Shearer thundered. "This is no one's party," Short ridge retorted. "I can tell you more in thirty minutes than you can learn in 30 days," Shearer shot back. "Only! one man knows this whole story."

Stlmson snld he assumed that the arrangement, which be described as not permanent, would place Mrs. (nnn lu the next position to Lady Isabella. Gracious Act ' The state department described the vice-president's action as espe cially gracious and appropriate, In view nf the fact that Sir Ksnio Howard, together with tho diplo matic corps last April, had mane a provisional arrangement whereby Mra, Gnnn at oriiclnl and ceremo nious diplomatic functions would bo accorded the position In prece dence which Is normally given the wife of the vice-president.
