AMBASSADOR WILL RETURN
JAMES BRYCE OF ENGLAND
COMING BACK TO AMERICA.
Manifests Great Interest in Politics
and the Approaching Presidential
Observation-Disclosures Changes.

Explaining that this is the most inter-
esting year in the annals of American af-
fairs. from his point of view as a student
tons. Ambassador James Bryce Of Eng
land. just before his departure for Eu-
rope, stated confidentially that he had no
idea of not returning. as had been ru-
mored. The ambassador will come back
in September. or perhaps early in Octo-
Der. and it is his intention to look fully
into the matter that now interests him
most-the presidential election, its idiosyn-
crasies and Municipalities.
Mr.. Bryce, in fact. has given great evil
dence of his interest in American affairs.
and has been in demand for lectures, ad-
dresses and visits in every part of the
United States. 1t is believed-although he
would not admit it when questioned on
the subject-that he is now at work on
additional volumes on the American COM
mon&ealth. thus completing what many
readers claim is the sincerest book ever
written by a foreigner on America.
Mr.. Bryce returned to England this
summer much against his wishes, but ur-
gent affairs of state to be discussed with
the foreign Office at London left him no
alternative He has been in this country
Since eDTudTy OF last year, ana during
his sixteen months stay he has done a
tremendous amount Of work and has tray-
eled considerably.
Feels Like q Youth.
He protested that he was not tired and
felt as young as youth of thirty-and
this must be so. for he has been seen at
Dupont Circle as early as s o'clock in the
morning during the spring, walking brisk
ly to his destination.
One of his closest friends, however,
stated that Mr.. Bryce may retire from
public life next spring, in order to devote
his time to his books. He Will remain
here throughout the winter and spring, so
as to CLEAN all the first-hand knowledge
he can in regard to the election of the
President as we'll as the installation in
Office next March.
There has been some talk that the
present building of the embassy, Con-
necticut avenue and N street. may be re-
modelled so as to give more room, but
nothing has been decided as yet. 1t is
possible that Mr.. Bryce may discuss the
matter with the London authorities. The
time is believed to be ripe for architectu-
raj changes, as the coming twelvemonth
will witness number of improvements
in the houses of the diplomatists accred-
tied here.

building advantages of this new terri
tory.

the scene of much activity last Sum

permitted the completion of much work
in this section, and already the park
ings and shade trees show to advan-
tage. indicating its desirability as a
residence spot.
Another hotel and restaurant was
opened at Salada beach last week, the
demand for accommodations being
more than could be met by the hostel
ries already there. 1t is expected that
