American ambassador at the royal
funeral. In spite Of the curtailment
OF his program at the British capital
on account OF King Edwards death,
1t was in Guild Hall, in London, that
he made the speech that attracted
more discussion than any Of the
other of his addresses abroad. Here

titied by the present political condi-
tons of the African dependency.
