CORRECTING A

During the past three weeks a
number of my friends have stated to
me that report is being circulated
that / am going to leave Ocala and
move TO Jacksonville At first the
idea OF such a move on my part seem
ed so absurd that I cast it aside as
one would joke but after a number
Of friends approached me, the matter
has taken on a different phase and
feel that in Justice to my friends, my
business and myself that should
take this method of correction the
absolutely groundIess report. Such a
move has never once entered my
mind and TO me it seems would be
more than foolish move Why should
think Of leaving Ocala? l find no

The purpose Of the reorganization,
1t Is learned, touches the personnel
of the embassies rather than the pol
icies of the British government in its
relations with its allies, and it is ex-
pressly stated in an authoritative
quarter that there is to be no change
in the policies connected with the
prosecution of the war. e
Sir Cecil has desired for some time
to.be relieved of the heavy duties of
the Washington aembassy as soon as
such achange could be made without
detriment to the service. 1t is known
now that when Foreign Minister Bal
four came to the United States last
spring the ambassador rendered his
resignation to take effect at the con-

been awaiting its acceptance since
that time. =. t'a
