Earl Grey was an intimate friend of
the late Joseph II. Choate american
to Great 1sritait; often
visited The United States, cailcd upon
Presidents Roosevelt and sfl'afL at
and declared that he was
a lover of America. This sentiment he
gave as his reason for restoring TO
the United States a picture of Ben
jamin Franklin, which had been in the
possession if his family silrfe Earl
.Grey's great-grandfather, Maior-Gen-
FranlnI fTal GarleS Grey WAS dnaEsered IN
an officers of General Ilowe's stan

administration was described as aquet
but uniform success. Hc was strong
advocate of imperial federation and
urgeu Canadians TO share the burden
OF England's Defense.
Although born an aristocrat, Earl
Grey was very democratic nshis sym

in his almost lifelong activity as {,
social reformer, in his efforts to re-

spirit of enthusiasm in all his enter

ness to cvacuate and restore Belgium.
prof. Dclbrueck who openly questions
the good faitll of the chancellor in
protesting TO agree with the terms of
the resolution, asks whether his sill
ence in the face of Mr.. Asquith's sum-
mons does not show that those are
right who insist that DIR. NIicllaelis
takes another standpoint from that
contained in the resolution.
"If the German government is ready

meet the radical movement for greater

nance committee agreed today to

one third of the bill's total taxes.
The pre-war prOgts rate Of the bill
was retained by the committee but it
added new maximum war profits tax
rate of GO per cent on profits in cX-
cess of 800 per cent. The maximum
in the bill was so per cent on profits

Another substantial change was

These provisions would care for cor

WILSON HAS BEEN sELEcrEp AS

the WoRlD-REPLY Is BID TO
GERMAN PEOPLE TO THROW OFF

Washington, D.. c.. Aug. 28-Prcsi-
dent. Wilson $ rejection of tie popc's
peace proposal is regarded here as the
high water mark of the war. Further
pore, 1t is indicative of the virtual Sc
lection Of the president by the allies
as their spokesman before the world.
The note comes as climax to the
remarkable series of state documents in
which President Wilson has argued
the cause of world democracy against
autocracy in the high court Of public
opinion and accepted more and more
by the people of all the allied countries
as expressing their ideals.
There appears to be no doubt that
make answer before the world In adj
vance of all others. Whether the En-
tente nations will send extensive re-
plies is not known here. 1t is regarded
as probable that they will in large
measure adopt the presidents reason
ing for their own and send notes of
endorsement.
The general tenor of the presidents
reply had been anticipated everywhere
but there was nc. inkling of the force

denunciation of the military autocra-
