Great Britain had determined on con- scription and in the most romantic way. The Celtic diplomat, who enjoys the distinction of being the first ap- pointee of his country to be sent to the QGeneva Tribunal in 1922, and who, since 1923, has been the permanent delegate to the League of Nations, is a North of Ireland man, who sympa- thized strangely with the South, and when the Irish Free State was formed | cast his destiny with that government | rather than with the Ulster regime. He is young as diplomats are when they reach the dignity of ministerial rank and recently entered his forty- sixth year. He studied in Trinity Col- lege, Dublin, and in France and Spain with the ultimate intention of follow- ing the peaceful vocation of teaching. He obtained a position in the Unlver- sity of Denmark at Copenhagen as a teacher of languages, and the Summer of 1914 found him on an auto tour of Southern France, with a vague idea of crossing the Pyrenees into Spain. It was in the romantic part of France known as Cote d’ Azur that, overtaken by war, he joined the Foreign Legion and set out with the first French bat- SOCIET Isle of Corfu. in the Tonian Sea, when he was recalled to Paris. Remains to Represent Interests of the Allies. ‘The Minister came with the French | war mission, led by M. Rene Vivian, in | 1917 and at the request of the French ministry of war remained in this country for a year and a half, lectur- ing for the allied cause and making eloquent appeals for the Liberty bonds. Dr. MacWhite is the second foreign envoy who was engaged in this crusade who has been assigned to Washington, the first being Dr. Kasimir Balutis of Lithuania. Since 1923 the Minister and his wife have lived in Geneva in a pleasant home in Quai Wilson and have been prom- inent in the international society col- | lected there during the sessions of the | League of Nations. A recent coleague | was M. Ferdinand Veverka of Czecho- slovakia, who like Dr. MacWhite had | for some years represented his country | at Geneva and is now its Minister to | ‘Washington. . MacWhite is naturally profi- cient in English. She has spent much time in Ireland during the minister’s vacations and has been in Dublin since the middle of the past January. She is for the moment the only diplomatic chatelaine in Washington who is of | Danish birth, the legation of Den- | mark being composed entirely of | bachelors. | e In Detroit hereafter all drivers of au- tomobiles involved in negligent homi- cide and reckless driving cases will be talions that went to the assistance of | N€ld by the police as in any other kill- Serbia, invaded by the Austrians, and he remained until the last remnant of the Serhian army took refuge on the ing or felony.
