Gossipy Folks From Hone und Cranks Take Up Lots of Time London.—"I'm awfully sorry the ambassador Is away.” 1 cuii t .. I you io '• sorry i that the embassy couldn't arrange an audience for you with the king.” "We are sorry, but the oltice of works will not permit you to climb the dock over the house of parliament.” These and fifty or more stock phrase* are kept constantly on tap during the summer rush of Hie Amer ican tourist season in Europe, for dur ing the rush season thousands of Americans crowd the American em bassy here demanding everything from an immediate audience with King George or the prime of Wales to the securing of authority to climb the ex terior of the clock tower of West minster palace or Westminster abbey. Practically everyone who visits Europe from the United States desires to visit one of the embassies or lega tions of bls own country. To the American embassy in l.oudon.' by vir tue of its central position ami rank in Europe, come most people. It has been estimated that telephone calls to the embassy here by people who have no netiml business to transact, but "only want to hear an American voice again," average more than fifty a day—each taking a precious live or ten minutes' time of a busy secretary or embassy attache. Worries of U. S. Officials. If telephone callers were the least trouble, the life of an American em bassy or legation abroad would be a continuous path of roses, but it is not, for tile callers who present them selves with passports, letters from friendly congressmen, introductions from friends in the Department of State at Washington and a thousand others who feel that their “names must be well known over there," are the chief worries of the American gov ernment’s foreign representatives. The callers nt the American embas sy during twenty minutes here recent ly, included an associate Justice of the Supreme court, who occupied 45 min utes of the ambassador's time, talking small town politics, while another for eign ambassador cooled bls heels In an anteroom, waiting for the ambas sador long after his appointment time; a holder of a minor office tn the De partment of Education of the state of New York, who wanted th* embassy to arrange a tour around England for • middle western college glee club which he assured th* embassy was th* “best In th* states," and seventeen people clamoring for th* two ticket* to the gallery of the house of common* which th* embassy 1* daily allotted.

Smith's position is not an easy one, for upon hla hand* fall all of the vis itors at the er hassy.

The casual tourist who wishes mere ly to return home and tell the folks how he called upon the ambassador somewhere In Europe Is not the only pest who takes the embassy attaches from work on long and tedious re ports, for the crank, who enters the embassy with his hat pulled down over his eyes and a wise look on his face nmv take hours before he Is gotten rid of. This latter person usually demands to see the ambassador immediately on a "subject of great national Impor tance.” Frequently he eonfldes to the doorman that he Is “next to some Im portant and astounding Information." As Is the case with all others he sees some secretary or attaché In the em- bassy. Ills tale Is a long and tedious one. His story Is usually so absurd that it is seldom Investigated, while Investigations of the Informant have frequently shown him to be n maniac, uiiil in u number of cases these per sons have proven to he escaped con «•Ifs who have become demented with the constant fear of the police follow ing them. Where They Get Information. In some cases their “Information” Is picked up in saloons and flavored with sufficient Imagination to make the story one which they feel the Amer ican government would surely be in terested In. One-of the worst fears of a foreign embassy or legation Is for the petty politician—the attorney general from Podunk. or the state legislator from some remote spot. Although his posi tion muy he simili, or even muglmble to a foreign dignitary he Inevitably wants to be presented at the palace or expects at least to lunch with the am bassador. It has frequently been found that this type of man actually prefers to be slighted so that lie may leave the embassy or legation with great gusto, declaring that be will “write about It to the President and secretary of state.” He frequently does und through the aid of some congressman, who little realizes the problems of those stationed abroad, causes some unsuspecting sec retary much troulile and frequently a shift to another post. ; sold.

Their taste for brighter garb has certainly saved their lives, and they are now living in attractive glass tanks at the aquarium instead of providing one of the necessary ingredients for a night- mare-producing supper. Here is a record of the local lob sters’ thirst for color as revealed by the lobster pots: Three Iliac lobsters; one sky blue lobster; one deep cobalt lobster, and one orange red lobster. It is hardly necessary to add that all these lobsters are "ladles.” The mere “men" who have been caught have been found to be carrying on with the time-honored dull slatey black.
