US Diplomat. Served in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War. He served as United States Ambassador to Belgium from 1911 to 1912, and United States Ambassador to Japan from 1912 to 1913.

Larz was a member of the "Society of the Cincinnati", founded after the American Revolution by and for officers of the Continental Line, and eventually carried on by their descendants.
