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.
Up to th* Seeretarl**.
Those whoa* card* or credential* do
not establish them as sufficiently
prominent to warrant a session for
•van small-town talk with a busy am­
bassador ar* shunted off on some un-
suspecting secretary or counsellor,
whoa* duty it Is to sit from one-half to
three-quarters of an hour hearing how
famous the visitor from horn* la. and
all about th* trip which ha* either al­
ready been taken around Europe or la
to be taken.
In an anteroom of th* American
embassy hare Is a man who Is far mor*
busy than any diplomat In th* em­
bassy. Hl* name 1* Thoma* Smith,
formerly th* courier of th* diplomatic
pouch between Berlin and London be­
fore th* United State* entered th*
war. Having been under fir* many
times while going through the tines
between th* two great opposing capi­
tals during the war. Smith has long
since become accustomed to being un­
der fire of cranks who write long let­
ters to their home town congressmen
or even to the State department pro­
testing the “slights and discourteous
treatment received at the American
embassy tn London.”
Smith’s Job Difficult.
Smith's position is not an easy one,
for upon hla hand* fall all of the vis­
itors at the er hassy. Some—a rare
few—have leglLuiate business to
transact: the others have a thousand
petty wants and complaints which

Impression that lie was the most Im­
portant person who called that day.
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.

ab:.ti<h>r>i‘d the com ent hituil dress of
their tribe- n dull shitey black. 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. They have been eaten.
