AS AMBASSADOR
British Paper in Commenting
Says England Prefers Scholar

LONDON, June Although AM
bassador Walter II. Page, in accord
ance with custom, refrained from
taking any part in London life unJil
he presented his credentials to the
King, it Is learned from various
sources that he has made a highly
favorable impression on those with
whom he has been brought into con-
tact since his arrival.
Not the least of his gifts is said 70
be a sense of humor. Among the
many recent comments on the new
Ambassador The Nations is notable.
This Liberal weekly suggests that
England follow Americas example in
the selection of representatives AZ
Washington.
1t says: Was ington is the last
city in the world where an Ambas sa

the best representative that this OF
any other country has sent to Ameri-
co was MI Bryce, and the real rea-
son why he achieved so remarkable
a triumph was that he was far re-
moved from the ordinary professional
diplomat and Appropriated very
closely the sort Of men the United
States is accustomed TO send to Lon
don.
THE American Amba ssadors here
have been as emphatically Ambas
sailors TO the people as to the Court
or Whitehall or the West End.

disslmilar prestige at Washington,

Forgotten Island
Annexed by Hungary
Territory Is Taken Over by One
Prefect and Two Officers of
Emperor Franz Josef.
Special Gable to The American.


VIENNA, June 1T has just be-
come known that the little island Of
Ada Kaleh, situated in the River
Danube. near the Iron Gate of or
sova, has been formally annexed by
Hungary.
Ever since the year 1873 the island
has been virtually in Hungarian
hands, as since 1879 a garrison has
always held the place. 1t is a pic
turesque island, with about 1000
Turkish inhabitants, and was for
gotten" at the time of the Berlin
treaty.
The formal annexation was accom-
plshed when a project and two Hun
garian officers from Orsova arrived
at the island and, in spite OF the pro-
test Of the Turkish Governor, declared
II to be anneXted to Hungary.
The annexation was carried out IN
view of the Balkan peace prellmtna-
ries, which handed over to the Bal
kan allies all the Turkish possessions
west of the EnOs Midia line. The
smallness of the island made il in
expedient to insert a special clause
in the draft peace treaty. There is
no reason to fear that its formal an
nexation will raise international diff
Culties
