that Roosevelt was the dominating fig
ure. The royalties who had not yet
been presented. crowded about Roose-
Welt. eager for an Introduction. The
eN-P President was literally besieged by
royal questioners to learn his views OF
European politics. but he was on his
guard and countered by an avalanche
Of questions regarding the duties. burd-
ems and compensatlons OF kingship.
For more than an hour this cross
fire Of questions continued and finally
developed into the distinctive feature
of the luncheon. So interested did tho
notible assemblage. the greatest gath
ering Of royalty ever seen at such a
! function, become in the Colonel that for
/ a time the note Of sorrow over the
/ burial Of King Edward was lost sight
/ Of Roosevelts personality swept
everything else aside.

family are at "WestparS." the country
home Of Ambassador Reid. They will
remain there until Monday, when they
