WON'T NAME AMBASSADOR
President Taft Will Not Fill MIR.
Reid's Vacant Place.

Washington, Dec. 16.-President Taft
announced to-day, through Secretary
Hilles, that the post of ambassador to
Great Britain, made vacant by the death
Of Whtelaw Reid will not be filled by
him. This announcement followed an
early morning conference between the
President and Secretary Knox.
Several reasons were given for the
Presidents decision. He believes the i'm
portant diplomatic questions involving
Great Britain and the United States can
be handled successfully in Washington by
Mr.. Knox and James Bryce. the British
Ambassador He understands that Presi-
dent-elect Wilson already is considering
a man for the London post. and he does
not wish to appoint some one who can
serve at best for only a few months.
The President had first been inclined to
make an appointment but consultation
with Mr.. Knox brought decision to the
contrary.
The state Department has taken no ac-
ton toward arranging the details Of the
funeral OF the late Ambassador II Is
felt that these should be fixed by Score
tary Laughlin and the other officials OF
the embassy at London. with special
reference to the wishes Of Mrs. Reid.
II the family should decide to accept the
offer of the British government 10 send
the body home on a British warship there
would. of course, be a considerable
amount of ceremonial attendant on the
embarkation Of the casket which would
be conducted by the American Embassy.
It is not yet known officially that any
such tender has been made by the British
government, though it IS not doubted that
the courtesy shown by the United States
government I'm returning TO England the
bodies OF two British Ambassadors-Lord
Pauncefote and Sir Michael Herbert-will
be returned.
