PETROGRAD, July 11.—David U.
Francis, former governor of .Missou
ri, now new American ambassador to
Russia, has solved the riddle of Why
is an American Embassy? Incident
ally he is a hit. And they say he
is doing it by being a plain Ameri
can.
"I don't pretend to be a diplomat.!'
ex-Governor .Myron T. Herrick re
marked shortly after he had been
named ambassador to France. “1
am just a plain American sent here
by the American government to look
after the interests of the American
people, and that is what I am going
to do to the very uest of my ability.”
This Herrick did. When the war
burst on Europe like a thunderclap
he cut red tape right and left and
figuratively went at things in his
shirt sleeves. He assisted Americans
in plain, effective, straightforward
ways. And he made the biggest hit
with the French, high and low, of
any ambassador since Franklin.
From what Americans here say Da
vid R. Francis bids fair to duplicate
1 Herrick’s success, and in much the
same way. He has turned the Amer.
can embassy at Xo. 34 Furshtatskaya
into an open house for Americans.
: The Yankee abroad does not have
to bring letters from prominent poli
ticians at home to gain admittance.
; He does not feel like an intruder
j when he calls The place is a bee
hive for work yet no secretary is
too busy to be pleasant. Nobody
smirks but neither does anybody
glare when a visitor appears at the
door. There is neither fawning nor
frownfhg, neither servility nor
stuckupishness—the entire atmos
phere of the place is one of plain,
simple Americanism.
“Going to be long in Petrograd?
Drop around when you feel like it.
Come and red the American papers.
Don’t need to ask for anybody. Make
yourself at home.”
That is the kind of thing Ameri
cans encounter at No. Furshat.as
kaya now. Nor is it exceptional, if
one wishes! to see the “Governor” as
he is already called here—which is
itself saying considerable—he can
be seen without interminable waits.
If he is busy in his private office a
secretary will say quite frankly:
“The governor is talking to the
owner of the building now but he'll
see you in a minute,” or words to
that effect. One is not smothered in
mystery thick as mush nor led to
imagine that at least the emperor
must be waiting on the ambassador
begging for advice on how to run
the country The plain truth seems
so negotiable nowadays at No. 34.
Francis belongs to the “Marse”
Henry Watterson type of American,
frank, vigorous, straightforward. He
is tall, well set-up, white of hair
and moustache, possessed of plenti
ful natural dignity and poise but
utterly lacking in pose, fie had no
actual diplomatic training before
coming hero so lie does not try to
j make those who call on him believe
lie taught Maehisvelli and Gladstone
all they know. Having done a few
things himself which require com
j mon sense combined with tact he has
a pardonable amount of self-confi
dence and so hopes and believes he
w.Il be able to "get along.” tlis
conversation is unadulterated Amer
ican nor does he make the slightest
effort to wrap his each and every
word in diplomatically and hermeti
cally sealed packages and pass them
along untouched by human hands.
The report is current here that
both the Czar and Czarina took a
strong liking to the new ambassa
dor. The imperial couple received
him before he had been here a week,
constituting a record. He wore no
uniform and was detained in conver
sation with the Czar 35 minutes.
Governor Francis has a big job |
on his Hands. The commercial trea- 1
ty, existing between Russia and the
United States, was broken off during
President Taft’s administration and
a new treaty may be one of the im
portant things expected of him. Rus
s.a and America have not thorough
ly understood each other for a long
time and better relations generally
between the two nations is another
task entrusted to him. The Ameri
can colony here believes the right
man has been chosen.
If you happen to be one of the
Yankee legion who, in traveling
abroad, have gone away from an
American embassy sore wondering
why is an embassy, and if you would ,
still like to know the answer, write I
or call at .No. It Furshtatskaya, this j
city.
