MAY sENDtBoDY HOME
ON BRITISH WARSHIP

London, Dec. 1.-THE British govern
ment has proposed to the government
of the United States that a British
battleship should convey the body of
the late American Ambassador to his
native land.
Premier Asquitb in announcing this
decision of the government formally
in the house of commons today, paid a
graceful tribute to the dead diplomat.
1t has been to hold a me.
mortal service for the late ambassador
in Westminster Abbey at noon on Fri
day.
The bishop of London already has
intimated his desire to hold the
ial services in st. Paul's cathedral, but
the matter is still under the c~onsidera-
ton of the authorities.
At the British foreign office this
morning, the greatest regret was ex-
pressed in regard to the death of the
American ambassador. Sir Edward
Grey, the foreign minister. already had
sent a c~ablegram to James Bryce, the
British ambassador at Washington, re-
questing him to expire to the state
department the coincidence of the Brit
ish government.
The question of placing a British
warship at the disposal of the late am
bassador's family is to be considered
later. I

died at his Londo residence, Dor

was quiet and peaceful. Mrs. Reid
