& _Tales of Well In Socialma_nd Official Life Amhassador nnd Ml‘!. Capital Winning Popularity Among the Residents of BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. BERLIN, August 25.—Dr. Jacob Gould Schurmann, Ambassador from the United States o Gérmany, resided until a few weeks ago, in a _handsome home in Wilhelmstrasse, Berlin, not far from the imposing palace which the Republic has assigned to Its president, Marshal von Hindenburg. Dr. Schur- mann'’s portals were surmounted by two massive eagles, purported by guides and drivers of Berlin’s multitudinous sight- seeing vehicles to have been modeled after genuine American eagles. Rarely, erhaps never, is the proud bird of reedom shown in pairs and besides these monstrous bronze creations were mild in aspect and not at all the fero- cious_emblem of liberty which is de- picted in the United States. But that the Ambassador has in late Summer moved from his xmpmhg modest quarters in the Esplanade Hotel directly opposite the consulate, nothing to do with the laughter and ridicule which the eagles caused visitors from his own country. He and Mrs. Schurmann are of quiet tastes and their daughter Barbara 15 more studious than social and inclined to devote her Iefsure to cultural matters and to phil- anthropy. nished cost a tidy sum and so until the Etate Department purchases one of the several mansions offered for the pur- pose. it is probable that the embassy of this Republic in Berlin will domiciled in & hotel. *ox ok ok The Ambassador and Mrs, Schur- mann are greatly beloved in Berlin be- cause, although they are more retiring than others in the corps, they have studied details and fit_in neatly into every situation. They have experience obtained in many lands and under all conditions and they seem ideal in the complex life of post-war _Germany. Among other distinctions. Dr. Schur- mann can claim more alma maters oh foreign <oil than can any of his col- leagues in the service. Born in Prince Fdwards Isiand and thus a British #ubject, he obtained his bachelor's de- gree in the University of London and then _continued his studies in Paris and Edinburgh. where he became rhas- ter of arts and later doctor of letters. He then selected Heidelberg for an ad- vanced course in philosophy and when that vencrable seat of learnihg cele- brated its centenary last Spring. Dr. Schurmann, one of its tost illustrious #lumnus, delivered the principal ad- dress. Life in Berlin is rather hectic in Summer and the Ambassador and his family have spent several weeks at Bad Nauheim and at Hamburg. Mrs. Clin- ton_De Witt Poole. younger daughter of the Ambassador, and a frequent visitor to her relative, Mrs. Robert F. McKen- tie, in her Washington home, has two Aftractive voung sons, Key. who was born in Tokio when Mr. Poole was at- tached to the embassy there, and Cable, who claims Tours, France, as his birth- place. * ook President von Hindenburg dominates 1ife in Berlin aimost as emphatically as Premier Mussolini does in Rome and during even the briefest visit, one ma become intimately acquainted with his life and procedure from the press and the moving pictures. Then he may often be encountered driving from his home in Wilhelmstrasse through the parks and long stretches of woodland leading out of Charlottenburg. The president of the German Republic lives with Spartan simplicity, although he is sur- | rounded by imperial grandeur in the palace which was placed at the disposal of the chief executive during the récon- #truction days. A widower for some vears, his married daughter acts on hecessary occasions as his hostess, and he frequently honors the wives of his coungelors in making them temvorarily first ladies of Germany. _Although much of the ceremonial of the Hohen- gollern days has been eliminated, Berlin remains a capital where great import- ance isplaced on the observance of fra- dition and tHe warrior president has to entertain and be entertained more than is apparently to his liking. He ean rival Presidefit Hoover in the number of his formal and informal dinings and. unlike the Chief Executive of the United States, he must accept an astonishing number of invitations not only in offi- eial and diplomatic circles, but also from potent porsnmgu in private life. * x % President von Hindenburg, who clings o his military life with tenacity and retains his small iron cot of soldier years despite the magnificent furnish- gs of his sleeping apartment, no doubt feels intense sympathy for the scores of German officers deprived of thelr liveli- hood and who find it difficult to earn their living. But he adheres strictly to the civil service law and the custom of promotion and assignment from its recognized membership. For it is ad mitted that the republic owes a heavy dept to the stern civil service class e tablished on Prussian ideals. Fotr dur. ihg the bitter sanguinary civil war | which followed the armistice, it was the faithful, loyal adherence shown to the new government by the clerical forces that saved the country from chacs. They carried on, despite the Iong overdué salaries and kept mail, railroads, all public utilities in fact, ifi activity when the army had revolied. But one of the novel and somewhat aaddening spéctacles of Bérlin “10 years after” is that of handsome, réfined looking ex-officers of the Army acting As guides of porters and frequently driving the motor busses or serving as trafic managers, It is refreshing to listen to their candid criticism of the Kalser to whom they obviously ascribe their fallen fortunes, and few guides, all ex-officers who take visitors through the Summer palace of Wilhelm I1 at Potsdam adjacent to the lovely San Bouci Belvedere erected by PFréderic the Great, fail to give & long recital o grievances against their former com- mander and emperor.

At all times committed to promoting social intercourse in thé eolony from Uncle Sam’s domain, this American Women's Club has the oré srious objective of | furthering the alms and ambitions of all feminine citizens resident in Germany. R « Mus. TAft and her executive board co- operate cordially with the men's club in celebrating Washington's birth- day. the Fourth of July, Thanks- giving and _other national feasts. An active affliation with the Amer- lcan Benevolent Association, found- ed since the World War, has been established and is a powerful factor in discovering and assisting needy eiti- zens cut off from their friends and rel- atives throwgh accident or misfortune Several dances are given during the season and proceeds are devoted to the relief fund. On Thanksgiving evening the ladies hold what is called in Berlin & “Tombola,” which greatly résembles a bazaar. Donations are asked of Amer- lcans engaged in business in Berlin | and adjacent cities and so generons i< their response that booths are laden with attractive articles and sold for | good prices, In addition, thete is a confectionery table and homethade cakes after the formulas prized in the United States are eagerly purchased by the patrons. None but Americans are asked to. aid this benevolent association, it being apparent that the Germans are heavily taxed in caring for thelr own. All the embassy families belong to this | association as well as the large staff in | the consular office. Those with musical talent aid in arranging the program | and those of artistic tendencies get up inspiring posters which deck store win- dows for weeks in advance of the event. Some of the members get offerings from | this side of the ocean, in the nature | of groceries unknown 'in Berlin, and Indian and Eskimo curios which are in great demand. x ook | The consul-generdl of the United | States in Berlin, Mr. Gabriel Bie Ra dal, touches its life at many angles | and it one of the interesting And most | versatile members of the foreign serv- i He was born in Norway, but emi- | grated to South Dakota ‘soon after graduating at the Royal University of Christiania, now Oslo.

But he had served |two terms in the Legislature of his State when he received the appointment as consul to Beirut. He had, during | his college years in St. Paul, married | Miss Dorothea Magelssen of Rushford, | Minn,, and this lady has shared his ful life and numerous adventure: hrough these intervening 35 years. | The consul general counts it one of | his most useful achievements that he | founded the Northwestern Scandinavian | Singers' Association, and was its presi- | dent for three years. He and Mrs. | Ravndal are fine musicians and are | leading patrons at Berlin's various mus- | ical features.

Of All tHe neéw states created by the ' Treaty of Versailles the Crechoslovakian Republic is of deeper iriterest to WI;- ingtonians, and its President, . Thomas Masaryk, the subject of the most, sympathetic study. Dr. Masaryk, honored as the savior of his country and fathér of the republic, lived in Washington for months prior to issuing of the declaration of indepchd- ence which led to the union of hemia, Moravia, Slovakia and Ruf- sinia as a republic. In token of the ald received from the President of the United Btates in 1918, a splendid new union station & named for Woodrow Wilson, and the lovely park which greets thé stranger emerging from it also bears his nAme. Robert Lansing, Secretary of State at the time President Masaryk proclaimed his country's free- dom, was a courageous friend of the young republi¢ and a wise counselor to its sponsors, so his marble bust is hon- orab) laced in the Hradschin or capi- tol of gue. Last March Pg»ldrm Masaryk én- tered his eightieth year, but one who would see him on the bridle paths of the parks about his palace would never realige this, nor would any who met him the city afoot and going about his affairs with the stride of ath- Iete.
