LONDON PAGEANT PLANS

Especial Gable TO neutrality-suspicious.
London. April 9.-There is a strong
feeling among men Of ali parties in the
house of commons that the government
should hold an official banquet "
luncheon in honor Of ex-President
Roosevelt when he visits London IL
May.
A1r Roosevelt win in any case have
d cordial and enthusiastic welcome. He
will be the lion" of the season. He
will be welcomed for his own sake, and
as a sentatiye-although an ex
OfficiO One-of the great republic.
During his stay in London, he viii be
the guest Of the American ambassador
at Dorchester House, and, also, for
some time, the guest of Arthur Lee,
NJ. p, at his house in Mayfair.
Mr. Lee was British military attache
with the American army, including ths
Roosevelt rough riders, during the
Spanish-AmeTican war. and was after
ward military attache at Washington.
He is thus an old friend Of Mr.. Roose-
Welt.
Edward the Peaeemaker.
Striking tribute TO King Edward. the
peacemaker, is paid by the Baroness
Won Suttner. herself one Of the fore
most workers in the cause Of peace.
The talented authOress Of Lay Down
Your Arms" contends that King Ed
ward does not merely talk about peace,
like so many rulers, because it is now
customary TO do 50, but because he is
perfectly sincere in his enGeavOrs to
promote the great cause. In support OF
this view she publishes in the current
number Of the "Friedenswarte," a let
ter she received two and half years
ago from the king, when she asked for
the honor of being received in audience
by him.
King Edwards engagements and his
departure from London at that time
prevented the meeting being arranged.
and in the course Of his reply to the
baroness, dated July 26, 1907, Lord
KnOllys wrote.
His majesty regrets that under these
circumstances he Will be unable 10 have
the qualification Of seeing you. He can
only assure you that it would have been
a great qualification TO him, if It had
been possible, TO have met a lady, who.
like himself, is SO strong an apostle OF
peace"
This letter is now published for the
first time. The baroness is certainly
justified in stating that the last sem
tence, written to q lady at that ttms
personally unknown TO the king. is high
" significant. Since 1907, however, the
baroness has had the pleasure of meet
ing King Edward as a member Of the
depUtatiOn from the Universal Peacs
Congress, held at Westminster in July
1906
Japanese Enterprise.
With characteristic precision ana
thOrOughness, the army of japanese,
who have taken possession OF the White
City, are rapidly pushing to completion
their particular sections OF the great
Japan-British exhibition, which is TO be
opened early in May.
AT the present rate" said an official
yesterday. they will be ready well be-
fore the opening day, and their exhibits
are coming in quickly" The form OF
these exhibits Will be extremely varied
and interesting. At present few OF the
immense packing cases have been
opened. but the structure OF and de-
vices on the stands tell g good deal.
and one stand in particular viii interest
musicians, for il will bear Japanese
organs, pianos and violins.
