LONDON POST
is REPORTED
Ambassador Asks to Be Re.
lieved on Account Of
I'll Health.

President Wilson has received off,
cial word of the resignation of Wal
ter Hines Page. Ambassador to Great
Britain, it was learned authoritatiyely
last night.
The report from London that Mr..
Page had resigned his post because
of i'll health could not be confirmed.
At the State Department it was said
nothing was known officially of
the resignation. Secretary. of State
Lansing's answer to request for
confirmation was: 49, 2.
That is a White House matter"
At the White House. however, no
details were forthcoming. ~
Mr.. Pages resignation Is believed
to be immediate, and for this rea-
son the President is expected to send
the name of his successor to the
Senate withing the next few weeks
Most Important Portfolio.
The post of United States Ambas-
sador to Great Britain is now per-
haps the most important diplomatic
position outside of this country, and
for this. reason it was reported that
the President might ask his friend
and adviser. Col. House. to take 1t.
There are several reasons why Col
House Is deemed to be the logical
man for the place. The first is the
fact that he has gone abroad before
on diplomatic missions for the Pres
ident. but the most important one
Is the part the United States Am
bassador to Great Britain would play
at the peace table. He would iogi-
cally become the spokesman of the
President and the nation, 1t is said,
and would naturally have. to be a
close confidant of the President to
perform this task - r.'H.t,
Resigned n Year Ago.
On the other hand, however, il is
said that the President might be un-
willing to send Col. House abroad for
an indefinite period, because such &C.
ton would deprive him of the benefit
OF his counsel and advice.
Shortly after Col. Houses trim to
England about a yearsago, at the in
stance OF the President, Ambassador
Page transmitted his resignation to
the President. 1t was reported yester-
day, but withdrew it when Mr.. Wilson
asked him to remain on duty.
During the past few months. how
ever, his health is reported to have
suffered because of the many func-
tions and activities he was obliged to
attend. Up to yesterday, though, no
word had been received in Washing
ton that he was Ill.
Mr.. Page was appointed ambassador
during the early part Of the first VII
son administration, and upon ,he
declaration of war his duties were OK
tremely arduous. He handled many
difficult situations with delicacy, no.
tabiy the seizure of certain American
cargo ships by the British government
when We were neutral. There were
many persons who considered the
seizure a cause for embroiiIng this
country in war with Great Britain,
and 1t was largely due Ito Mr.. Pages
tact and good Judgment that the mat
ter was settled amicabiy.
Although resident of New York,
MI. Page was born and raised In
North Caroline. He Is close friend
OF Secretary Daniels. with whom he
was associated in newspaper work in
