ENGLAND'S
Prominent Men Trying To
Bring About Peace

London, Aug. S.-The efforts Of Sir |
Edward Grey to preserve the peace
Of Europe have made the English
Foreign Minister the great outstand
ing figure Of the day. There are
other remarkable figures in the for
eign offices Of Europe, but none of
greater ability than he who presides
over the British Foreign Office.
The name of Sir Edward Grey has
been on every tongue during the past
ten days and no man in all Britain
has been more in the limelight. And
yet, strange to say, there is no man
in. public life today who is so little
known personally. A potent, a my
sterious and uncertain figure, known
to few, understood by fewer. Cool,
self-possessed and showing no trace
whatever of the crisis through which
he has been passing.
The grandson of Sir George Grey,
who was several times Home Secre-
tary, and the granddaughter of Earl
Grey Of reform bill, Sir Edward,
whose father was equerry to King
Edward when the latter was Prince
Of Wales, inherited political instincts
and talent. He had scarcely attained
his majority when he became private
secretary of Sir Evelyn Barring (Lord
Cromer), and he acted in the same
capacity to Mr.. Childers at the time
the latter was Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer.
Entering Parliament at the age Of
% years, Sir Edward made some stir
at an early period of his career by his
independence on the question of Irish
land purchase. He was only 80 when
Mr.. Gladstone appointed him, in 1892,
Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
As his chief was in the House of
Lords, his position was important,
anu IL pOCalnS pel ~ uOhN1bC
when Lord Roseberry succeeded to
the Premiership. Sir Edward Grey
had to expound policy with which
1t was suspected Lord Roseberry's s
principal colleague did not always
sympathize. He did the work which
then fell to his hand with courage as
we'll as with propriety
Even those who have had no spe
cial opportunity of testing Sir Edward
Grey's capacity are impressed by the
appearance which he gives of reserve
power. Behind that long, thin face
with the high cheek bones they think
there must be deep forces. Instead
of thrusting forward, he has had to be
pushed. Competent observers long
ago discerned that he possessed the
qualities of a leader. Fifteen years
and more ago there were many who
predicted that some day, if his ambi
tion burned brightly enough, SiI
Edward would take the chief place or
the green benches.
Sir Edward Grey has two very
peculiar mannerisms, one of gesture
the other of speech. The gesture is
to put his right hand behind his necl
and to scratch his head. The manner
ism of speech is that he repeats fire
quently the same words when h'
comes to the end of a sentence. Al
though his style is restrained, hi'
speeches are usually impressive anC
effective. Once he was announced t.
address a meeting of northern miners
who were keen Radicals. Instead o
giving them a slashing harangue Sil

fairs, yet his manner was such tha
