TAFT WILL NOT NAME
SUCCESSOR TO REID
This Announcement Is Made Through
Secretary Hilles After a Confer
ference With Mr..
Knox

Washington, Dec. l7.--President Tai,
yesterday announced, through Secretary
Hilles, that the post of ambassador to
Great Britain, made vacant by the death
of Whitelaw Reid, will not be filled by
him. This announcement followed an
early morning conference between the
president and Secretary Knox.
Several reasons We're given for the
presidents decision. He believes that
the important diplomatic questions in
yolying Great Britain and the United
States can be handled successfully in
Washington by Mr.. Knox and James
Bryce, the British ambassador. He un-
derstands that President Wilson al
ready is considering man for the Lon
don post, and he does not wish 20 APP
point someone who can serve at best for
only few months. The president had
first been inclined to make an appoint
ment, but conference with Mr.. Knox
brought a decision to the contrary. The
post at London will now be vacant until
March, and it will be the first time IA
many years that the United States
has been without an ambassador in Lon
don.
