Capital society, which viewed the in cident lightly and considered it merely a conversation topic, is now looking to ward President Ooolidgo and guessing whether or not he will make ;it the basis for official action. Special interest is evidenced among the diplomatic corps, some members of which, it is under stood, believing the snub has presented a grave question. The apparent tendency of the White House is to suppress discussion as much ns possible, indicating President Cool idge would prefer to have the matter pass over.

It would cause uo surprise if Baron de Cartier should be assigned to another doplomatic post, though neither the White House nor the State Department lias made known yet any official position on the incident.
