exceedingly anxious to be friendly with the United States. This being so, they naturally take every opportunity to do honor to the President, and all who are associated with him who represent the United States, In a serious sense. They will have no better opportunity of honor ing President Roosevelt than by enter taining his oldest daughter
 Now if they are to entertain Miss Roose- welt because she is the daughter of the head of the American nation they must treat her as they would the daughter of the German Emperor or of the Czar of Russia, for instance. To follow any other course would, from the European point of view, be little less than insulting.
 This means that Miss Roosevelt will be lodged in a palace, will be attended constantly by court officials, will drive in state carriage escorted by soldiers, will sit at royal dinner table from which all non-royal persons are excluded, and, in short. will be accorded a status en- tirely different from that ever before given to any American man woman, however distinguished or well known. The exact attitude of the British court was explained by a high official of the Lord Chamberlain's department, which has charge of court ceremonies, when he was informed that Miss Roosevelt would attend the coronation:
 Speaking for myself and all the other court officials, he said, T can say with certainty that the King would desire to treat the Presidents daughter as the daughter of any other great ruling mon arch.
 It is obvious that, if we are to en- certain Miss Roosevelt, we must do so in this way. It is true that she is not member of an imperial family but if for 1t is impossible to observe this differ ence without failing in the hospitality which His Majesty would wish to show.
 Empires and monarchies, I may re- mind you, do not show any churlish ex- clusiveness in dealing with republics When the Czar visits President Loubet he treats him exactly as he would a brother emperor. The King of England has even more friendly feelings toward the ruler of the United States than does the Czar toward the French President.
 When the king becomes officially aware that Miss Roosevelt Is to attend the coronation, he will order royal pal ace to be placed at her disposal, with a full suite of courtiers, equerries and military escort. Only a specific request from President Roosevelt would cause these proceedings to be modified in any way.
 MISS HOoSeVelt would be invited to a state banquet by His Majesty and would be seated on his right hand, an honor exclusively reserved for imperial and royal guests.
 court officials would regard Miss Roosevelt as ranking with the Princess Royal of England, as the oldest daugh- ter of our Sovereign Is called"
 After reading the foreign rem arks, an Englishman of title visiting this city in- tod
 lures of the arrangements for Miss Roosevelt's reception, according to the well known rules of court etiquette.
 On her arrival in England she will be met by representative of the king and suite. The representative may be 8 prince of the royal family. He will be at least general officer enjoying the friend ship of the king, and detailed to act as eduerry for Miss Roosevelt. Accompany ing him will be two ladies in waiting two lords in waiting four gentlewomen in waiting and four gentlemen in waiting They will have a large force of servants wearing the royal liveries with them.
 A guard of honor from the local mili- tary forces with band will assist in re- ceiving Miss Roosevelt and will escort her party to the station, where a special train will be in waiting to convey her to London MT and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid and the rest of the mission will probably go in this train, but the honors will primarily be paid to Miss Roosevelt.
 Upon the arrival of the party in Lon don the Presidents daughter will be re- ceived by a squadron of the Life Guards and by several state carriages driven by coachmen wearing the royal scarlet liv- cries. Miss Roosevelt's carriage will have four horses
 She will imm ediately be driven to the royal palace placed at her disposal by the king, the mounted Life Guards preceding and surrounding her carriage, and per emptorily clearing all traffic out of the way. What palace she will have Is not yet known, but there is a strong probabil. ity that it will be St. James Palace. one of the most ancient, dignifled and pie turesque royal residences in London. Be- fore the coronation Buckingham Palace will have been remodeled and made ready for the kings reception. He will then oo- cupy. It, and the Prince of Wales. who now lives in St. James Palace, will move into Marlborough House, just across the street. That will leave St. James free for Miss Roosevelt's occupation.
 Miss Roosevelt will pay a visit to the King and Queen immediately after her arrival and will be received by them
