Tidrriaedls Gen. Crowder, Envoy To Cuba, Facing Many Diplomatic Duties Ambassador Classed as One | Of B“Siest 0{ UnCle Sam.s Representatives in For- eign Posts. . { _The first Ambassador which the United States ever accredited to Cuba is Gen. Enoch Herbert Crowder, =o| {familiar to the world at Washington as judge advocate general for many and during the World War the | provost marshal of the Army. Gen. Crowder {s among the very few bache |lor diplomats in such an exalted role | |and at present his sister, Miss Crowder, who was with him a during his s residence, | makes _her home But | no man at the {Cuban capital has more excessive de- | {mands on his time and energy, not to mention his income, than has Gen. Crowder, and none dispenses a more |far-reaching hospitality and under rather difficult conditions. It is esti-| mated that during nine months Ameri cans arrive in Havana monthly to| |the estimated figure Kept at the port lof from 7,000 to 10,000, and many these are’ distinguished citizens who |claim the attention of the American | embassy in some way or other and usually In the social sense. ! The American Ambassador, who is dean of the corps by virtue of his rank, being the only envoy of this grade in Havana, is now the victim of that trouble which occurred when the late { William Jennings Bryan was Se tary of State and his diplomatic ap. pointee at Havana, Gonzales, became u figure of international complication: Gonzales purchased for $85,000 an e: tablishment for the American Govern- ment, an almost ruined house in Cerro | This 'is now in a soclal back water, | but some 150 years ago Cerro was the | most fashionable suburb of Havan: This house was superficially renovated | but now is actually falling to pieces right over Gen. Crowder's head. This |present Winter but two rooms are actually safe and hospitable, and in |one ‘of these the Ambassador enter- tains hjs friends, of course, one at a time. During the past week he has had the eminent Dr. Willlam Mayo as a guest. Under these conditions social amen- ities had to be relegated to clubs and hotels, of which, fortunately, Havana has a fascinating and numerous sup- | ply. The American Ambassador has | many luncheons at the Jockey Club, | where he entertains a large clientele {of visitors who find the races a mag- | net. The superb yacht club is always |a center of attraction to naval guests | and to the Army, and for the scores | of lovers of aquatic sports from all| over the United States who come to Havana in Winter. It is admittedly one of the best equipped yacht clubs of the world and its initiation fee of | $£1.000 and its annual dues of almost $500 surpass all the demands of the | older and better known clubs of Long | |Island Sound. | At present Gen. Crowder's staff is | largely bachelor, and of these may be | | mentioned the first secretary, M { Richard B. Southgate of Massachu- | { setts, who until five months agg was { connected with the Bureau of Eastern Affairs in the State Department; the military attache, Col. Willam H. Shutan. Capt. Henry C. Clark, who is assistant military attache, is mar- ried to the former Miss Maude Harve 'of Washington, and Mrs, Clark fre- | quently alds Gen. Crowder in his hos- pitable duties. Mrs. Carlton Jackson, wife of the commercial attache, is an- other ‘charming member of the diplo- matic establishment, and she was Miss Wiggins of San Antonio, Tex. A | second secretary, Mr. Harold L. Wil- { lamson, has recently been appointed land is expected in the Havana er |bassy about the second week ¢ | March. He has been a member of the | Mexican Bureau, and will be accom- | panied to Cuba by Mrs. Williamson | who will then be the chatelaine of the | American establishment. | As dean of the corps, Gen. Crow- {der’s obligations are much lighter than those imposed on such officers in | other capitals. He entertains con-| stantly, but after no particular sched- ule—rather as opportunities arise. He usually invites his diplomatic col- leagues to meet American visitors or ‘.*’ (Continued on Seventh Page.) Eparty Given to Honor | Miss Darton and Fiance | Dr. and Mrs. N. H.
