Paris, Jan. 29 "Shirtsleeve", diplomacy . was once a boast of American statesmen, but times have changed since its vogue and nowhere is this fact more apt than in the Hotel Crillon, headquarters here of the American commission to negotiate peace. Rigid ceremony is the order o the day and it is made necessaryhy centuries of diplomatic etiquet in Europe. If the American commission we're to attempt to do business in what people would think was an "old-fashioned American way," polite society in Paris might be apt to rise in wrath and deliver a snub more crushing than the armistice r imposed upon tne uermans. It is because of the 'little niceties of European life that the American commission to negotiate peace hasl d tcrcuiuuiai ueparimcni in cnarge of Capt. Henry J.

They never turn down a re quest; they always obtain informa titi and they do a hundred and one other things which come up in the average- day of the American plenipotentiaries. Call on Americans,. One nice feature of the arrival of the American commissioners here is the fact that henceforth all other delegations from allied countries call first on it. That happens by reason of the fact that we made the "initial appearance" on the scene. In so doing, however, the American plenipotentiaries had to fulfill one of society's decrees by leaving their cards at every allied embassy and legation in Paris. Another thinor about which the ceremonial, office has to be "on its toes is a visit to the Hotel Crillon by. jay. the British ambassador to France or some other high dignitary. Of course, the ceremonial office has wind of his coming, for it has ar ELIEFFOI GOOD CO SAYS HITCHCOCK Nebraskan . Urges Senate to Accept Wilson's Opinion ' on Need for Measures' ! Inaugurated. : .
