|of second secretary of legation, and i
j only two men now in the diplomatic)
| service of the country, have completed!
| tlie same climb. They are John W. I
Garrett, of Baltimore, former ambas-1
sador to the Argentine Republic and
Edwin V. Morgan, late minister to
Portugal and now ambassador to Hra
zil.
Ambassador Fletcher will not lie
forty-two years old until next April.
He attended Ziegler's Private School
in < 'liambersburg when he was a
youth, and later studied law in the
office of D. Watson Rowe, of that
town, and was admitted to the bar in
1891, becoming a member of the firm
of Rowe and Fletcher. Tic was the
official reporter of the Thirty-ninth
Judicial District of Pennsylvania from
1891 to 1 898.
When the Spanish war came he en
listed in the. Hough Riders of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt., He saw service!
in Cuba and on being mustered out.
joined the regular army as a second!
lieutenant serving In the Philippines!
from 1899 to 1901. lie rose to the|
rank of battalion adjutant, and it was
during this service that lie gained a)
remarkable insight Into the life and!
customs of the Filipinos, Mestizos,
Chinese and Japanese
His military career ended iri 1901
and the next year he entered the ranks
of diplomacy as second secretary of
the American J-egation to Cuba. In
1903 he was transferred to China and
I served at Peking. In 1905 he was sent I
Ito Portugal as secretary of legation,
.and in 1907 he went back to China as |
first secretary of legation.
| When Charles R. Crane, appointed!
minister to China by President Taft.
was recalled before be could sail for
his post, the Administration looked
about for a man to take his place.
They contemplated sending the ablest
railway man they could get to lake
Mr. Crane's post. Shortly after, when
they had read a few reports signed i
"Fletcher." however, they changed
their minds. Fletcher was just the
man they wanted. His knowledge of
the Munchurian railway situation was
thai of an expert.
So ably did he perform his duties
that, lie remained as charge d'affaires
from June 1, 1909, to April 'J, 1910.
when lie went, to the position which
had come to him as reward—the Chil-j
jean post, it is from this that ho will
| go to Mexico.
I In Chile he is considered one of the j
j best representatives that this govern-;
| ment has over sent there, tie is a
| master linguist and a keen judge of
human nature, and during liis career
jin the diplomatic service has shown
th&.t in performing such duties he is
a square peg in a square hole.
•J. Rowe Fletcher, former sheriff of
this county, is a brother of the next
ambassador to Mexico. Henry P.
Fletcher is widely known throughout
the city and central Pennsylvania.
