JAPANESE DELEGATION AT HOME IN WASHINGTON By David L. Blumenfeld, (United Press Staft Correspendent) Washington, Nov. 26.—Japan has three homes in Washington today. Of- ficiaidom, apart from the embassy it- self, lives in a beautiful home on Du- pont cirele, the Shorcham hotel houses the clerks and offices of the military and naval attaches, while the Nip- ponese club on Sixteenth street con- stitutes the real home of the little men from Nippon. There, of nights, vou may see frock-coated diplomats smoking their long Japanese pipes, with their miniature bowls, for all the world as if they were sitting on the matted floors of their own homes in far-away Tokio. Outside the. elub, a Japanese temple lantern glows thru red latticed windows while in the up- stairs rooms of the club such delica- ies as “Noshi” (fried seaweed) and aw fish are eaten with all the gusto and mannerism of a restaurant in Nara or Nikko. The Japanese are nothing if not smart. They take pride in their turn- out. IFrom Ambassador Shidehara, kindly-faced and smiling, down Lo the v minutest clerk, spick. and span. Motor cars hoot around corners in Washington streets filled with top-hatted Japanese, pull up at government offices and the lit- tle men get out in order of seniority much as a steamboat load of naval officers give way to the oldest among ‘them on Janding.
