Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Wheeler were
crouching in the captains cabin when

BRYCE HAS BEEN RECALLED.
British Ambassador to Return Home
Early Next Year.

London, Dec. "a letter was posted
today addressed to James Bryce, Brit
ish ambassador in Washington, re-
questing his presence in London. 1t
is expected that he will come early in
the new year for a consultation with
the government authorities, principal
ly in reference to the relations between
the United States and Japan.
1t is believed there is little likely
hood that he will return to the WASH
ington post. In case he does not, his
successor, it is understood will be Sir
Henry Howard present minister to the
Netherlands, stationed at The Hague.
In explanation of this action by the
authorities it is said that Ambassador
Bryce never contemplated long resi-
dence in Washington, and named a
year as the possible limit of his SER
vice. The British authorities, for OBJ
vious reasons, are extremely anxious
to maintain good relations with the
United States OF America and Japan,
and if Bryce should insist on retiring
they will send a man of wide diplo-
matte experience to handle the diff
cult and delicate situation which might
possibly arise.

cultured man who ever sat upon q
throne in Europe.
Probably the renown of King Oscar
as a man of culture rested on what he
accomplished in the domain of pure
languages, his linguistic range include
ed English, German. French, Russian,
Spanish, and Italian.
Among the kings translations which
have placed his countrymen in touch
with foreign masters are "LeCid' ana
Goethe's best productions - TO-DAY

national poetry of his country was en-
riched by many songs, the music OF
which the king composed.
The splendid Easter hymn. now sung
in all the Swedish churches, Oscar
wrote and dedicated to his countrymen
years ago.
Among his many other notable con-
tributions may be mentioned Songs
of Nature and the Sea-" "Tasso. the
drama Castle Kronberg." and the
translation of Voltaire's Memoirs OF
Charles NII of Sweden"
Science Owes Much to Ruler.
AS the patron of scientific investiga-
tions, Oscar of Sweden earned the
gratitude of the world. So, too, the
various explorations and expeditions
which have made Scandinavia a.
household word among the nations
were made possible largely thru his
munificence.
Among the achievements due to his
patronage of those who did the ac-
tual work, those of Nordenskjold,
Nansen, Hedin, and many others
stand forth conspicuous. Oscar H..
himself supplied the funds for these
explorers. fact but little known.
The Nobel prizes and their interna-
tional distribution were among his
most cherished enterprises and held
his attention with each recurring ses-
sion Of the committee which conferS
the awards.
Compared with his royal ,contem-
poraries, King Oscar lived an un-
eventful life No wars on land or sea-
marked his reign. His kingdom was
at peace with all the world during the
entire length of his reign.
He was born on Jan. 81, 1929. He
was trained as sailor. but preferred
the, army, and at the death of his
brother, Oscar l., in 1872, he held the
rank of lieutenant general. He as
cended the throne on Sept, 1S. 1872.
He had married in June, 1857. the
Princess Sophia of Nassau, daughter
OF the late Duke Wilhelm of Nassau.

LEADERS DEFY CARLOS.
Meeting May Start Movement for Por-
tuqese Republic.

London, Dec. 9.-Portugals anti
government leaders will meet to de-
eide whether parliament shall gather
in January in defiance of King Car
los refusal to call it together.
An affirmative decision will amount
practically to declaration of the
country's independence. 1t will then
be a question whether Carlos can pre-
vent the house from assembling.
Failure to do so will surely mean
his deposition and probably the es-
tablishment of a republic.
That the military may try to sup-
press the gathering is deemed not un-
likely.
