HERRICK ACCEPTS PARIS POST AGAIN Former Ambassador to France Bo Reappointed?Served Under President Taft Washington, April 7.?Myon T. Herrick has decided to accept ap pointment as American ambassador 4o France, a post he filled under President Taft and which he occu pied at the beginning of the World War. Mr Herrick's formal nomination will be made SQon-and he will go to France in the Nearly summer. Mr. Herrick, it is understood, was offered the , post sometime ago Dy President Harding, but, his friends say, was reluctant to accept it be cause he felt he should devote the remainder of his' life to personal af fairs. Since he left the diplomatic service Mr. Herrick has sustained personal misfortunes, which included the death of his wife and a son, and more re cently was ill himself and went to the Hawaiian Islands in search of health. The principal trouble was an infection in one of his eyes, which, however, has now been cleared up. Besides that, Mr. Herrick's friends poin? out, he has become interested in .business ventures which he felt demanded his attention. Although President Hardings mind turned to Mr. Herrick when he began to think of filling the Paris post, word ? TXT^ m! came ui Tra^uiii^wu uvm x- mnvc that the selection of the former am bassador for his old post would be received there with gratification a mong the government and the peo ple. There was nothing official about, it, it was explained today, the word came jnst abbtit the same time as ad ministration leaders here were sug gesting to Mr. Harding that he press Mr. Herrick to accept. The forpier ambassador has bpenj considering the offer for several! weeks and has only just given his ac- j .ceptance. He has told friends he feels that inasmuch as his own government | and such favorable sentiment, mj France as* has been expressed, call him, that in the present posture of. world affairs, he cannot neglect what he considers h's duty. % in going to Paris again, Mr. Her rick will find himself confronted with personally paying the rent for his embassy building, unless some way ;an be found to meet the expense out of the other funds of the state de partment One of the provisions of the last diplomatic appropriation bill cut off that expenditure. ''This was one of the drawbacks to securing Mr.' Herrick's acceptance it was said, because, contrary to popu- ,1 lar belief, he is not a wealthy man, although he has been successful in j the conduct of his personal business | affairs and h$ was not convinced that he could afford to provide an embas sy himself out of the salary of am bassador. Entertanment, which fig ures as a large* expense for an am bassador, probably will be a small one for Mr. Herr'ck, for he goes to the post practically alone, and with the intention of devoting himself to the problems of the office rather than the socialization.
