Ambassador to Great Britain.

These varied and successful diplomatic
labors naturally marked Mr.. Reid for APP
pointment TO the post which is by COM
mon consent regarded as the highest in
the foreign service OF the United States.
For this, indeed. he had more than ordi-
nary preparation and fitness. His two
brief special ambassadorshlps to Great
Britain had not been merely formal and
perfunctory missions, and they had,
moreover. given him a personal acquaint-
ance with the British court and public.
and had invested him with confidence
and authority there which were OF mucn
value TO him. and therefore TO his coun-
try, when he became the regular Am
bassador of the United States at the
Court of st. Jamess. To this place he
was appointed by President Roosevelt at
the beginning OF his second term. in 1895,
and he was retained in it by President
Taft when he succeeded Mr.. Roosevelt
I'm 1909.
The story OF Mr.. Reds services as am
bassador is largely the story OF the diplo-
matte relations between the United King
dom and the United States during a long
period of much activity. II comprised
successful negotiations for arbitration.
for the regulation Of copyrights, impor-
tant correspondence concerning the status
Of Liberia, and in the final fixing of the
Maine and New Brunswick boundary line
and the submission of the long pending
North Atlantic fisheries dispute TO adju-
dication at The Hague, the amlcable dis
81 tho last matters OF con-
troversy between the British Empire and
the American Republic. One Of the most
generally interesting and most important
services which Mr.. Reid rendered was
his skilful and persuasive contributions
TO the negotiations which resulted In the
establishment OF two cent or penny post
age between the United States and Great
Britain. thereafter extended to France
and other countries.
In the fisheries dispute, long before the
signing OF a protocol for final settlement.
Mr.. Reid secured the continuation OF
,nodus rirendi most favorable to America,
and thus protected American fishing in
terests until the whole case could be
finally disposed OF at The Hague. An
other signal success for American dlplo
macy was won by him In maintaining
and confirming the equal rights of Ameri-
can capital with European capital to in
vestment in the foreign railroad and other
loans OF China, by shrewdly and effect
lively pointing out that. although those
rights had not been exercised. there was
no authority outside of America itself TO
declare that they had lapsed through
non-use. 1t was Mr.. Reds privilege TO
contribute largely to the removal OF dis
trust and the promotion of cordial and
even affectionate relations between the
country which he represented and that to
which he was accredited.

Mr.. Reds interest in education had all
ways been deep and active since his own
days as a teacher In 1878 the Legislature
OF the State of New York elected him for
life a Regent of the University of the
State of New York; In 1902 he was chosen
by his associates Vice-Chancellor and In
1904 Chancellor of that body. In that

pleasure and not at all for ostentations
but for the hospitable entertainment OF
his countrymen who visited the king
dom and for the reflection of credit and
honor upon the American name. Whether
entertaining an official company or well
coming several thousand American WIS.,
itors at a Fourth Of July reception, he
was always the same hospitable and I'M
affected American citizen.
Nor were his extra-offcial activities
confined to social hospitality For many
years a brilliant line of statesmen had
invested the place,of American represent
alive I'm England with important func-
tiuns-which had come TO be regarded al
most as dutles-in scholarship and ora
tory. 1t is probable that no other diplo-
matte agents in>the world were nearly so
much called upon to make public adj
dresses on various occasions OF impor-
lance as were the American ministers
and ambassadors to Great Britain during
the last generation. Lowell, Phelps, Hay
and Choate had got the British nation
into the habit of looking TO the American
representative as publicist. scholar. orator
and wit. and of that distinguished sue

upon to speak upon a great variety OF
