LONDON WOULD WELCOME ELIOT.
The Mail Says The United States Could
Have No Finer Representative. /.

London, April 2-The london morn
ing newspapers have been so engrossed
with the naval agitation that they prac-
ticalIy have not commented yet on the
subject Of Charles w. Eliot's appoint.
ment as ambassador to the Court Of
st. James. The American correspondent
Of the London papers, however, are en-.
thusiastic with regard to the appoint
ment, and repeat that no American
would be more warmly welcomed to
London. Two different reasons are adj
vanced why DR.. Eliot might pause be-
fore accepting Che ambassadorship.
First, his age, and, second, his sensitive
ness as to whether he has sufficient
means TO maintain the post with fitting
dignity. II is believed, however, that
neither would prove q bar to his ulti-
mate acceptance, the idea being that
Americans generally are DESTROYS that
their ambassadors should adopt a great
er simplicity In style
The Daily Mail, describing DR.. Eliot
as Americas first citizen says that
the United States could have no finer
representative, as he is all that Is best
in American national life.
