The stock exchange was particularly

ALL ENGLAND SPECULATES
Public Guessing as to Meaning Of
Signal Mark Of Royal Favor.
SELDOM GIVEN TO CoMMoNER
Question of Possible Successor to Mr..
Asquith, as Premier, Is Be-
ing Discussed.

LONDON. February 13.-The almost UNI
paralleled honor which King George has
bestowed on Sir Edward Grey, the British
secretary Of state for foreign affairs, by
nominating him to the Oldest and most
exclusive Order of the Garter, in which
only members of royal houses and Sc
lect few Of the highest among the nobil-
ity are enrolled, and which many reign
ing sovereigns vainly covet, has created
great speculation throughout the British
Isles.
1t Is nearly 200 years since the Garter
was conferred upon a commoner under
similar circumstances. Only four other
commoners have been privileged to wear
the blue ribbon during the history of the
Order of the Knights Of the Garter.
The exact meaning Of this signal mark
of royal favor is known only to the in
nermost circles. while it unquestionably
sets the seal of the kings and the British
cabinets unqualified approval upon Sir
Edward Grey's conduct of foreign affairs
during the recent momentous years.
Significance of Action.
Politicians of all shades of opinion are
asking today what significance the king S
act possesses from the standpoint of the
future.
The retirement of Herbert H. Asquith
from the premiership to the house OF
lords has been rumored for some time.
David Lloyd George, the chancellor of
the exchequer. and Sir Edward Grey are
supposed to be rivals for the possession
OF the prime minister's mantle. Mr..
Lloyd-George has figured SO conspicu-
ously before the public as the author of
comprehensive program of social re-
forms that he has been considered as
the most promising candidate for the
position.
Sir Edward Grey represents the con-
sentative wing of the liberal party,
while Mr.. Lloyd George is the spokes-
man Of the opposite extreme.
The recent outburst of opposition to
Sir Edward Grey's management of for
eign affairs. which has been most
marked In the radical papers, has been
attributed partly to the desire of Mr..
Lloyd Georges followers to promote the
Welsh leaders interests.
Comment of Newspapers.
Some of the newspapers today say that
the comforting Of the Order of the Gar
ter on the secretary for foreign affairs
gives Sir Edward Grey such eminence
that he could not be expected to serve
in the cabinet under Mr.. Lloyd George.
One question which awaits an answer is
whether the comforting of the garter on
Sir Edward Grey has any relation to
Viscount Haldane's recent mission to Ber-
lin.
Another interesting question is whether
it is designed as a proclamation to other
nations Of King Georges Endorsement of
Sir Edward Grey or more as a rebuke to
his home critics.
Every one agrees that it is tribute to
Sir Edward Grey's rare personal char
acter as much as to his diplomatic ability,
and that he is fully worthy of the historic
distinction

Members of Congress From

The Missouri delegation in Congress is

public record Of Speaker Champ Clark,

The statement declares that the united
