Appointment a Surprise.

The name of Mr.. Davis from time TO
time has been linked with diplomatic
appointments in the present Administra-
ton, but no one surnlised that he was
being considered for the British post.
One reason for this Is the fact that Mr..
Davis Is understood not to be wealthy,
and 1t was assumed man of means
would have to be chosen.
Mr.. Davis has been Solicitor General
since August 20. 1913. He was serving
in the House of Representatives from
the First West Virginia district when
appointed.
Mr.. Davis was born in Clarksburg. w.
Va. in 1873. and was prominent as a
lawyer before entering upon his political
career. The President Is understood to
have great confidence in his ability as
we'll as his tact and judgment.
In British diplomatic circles to-day
satisfaction over the appointment was
clearly in evidence. Through some
means 1t has become known to some OF
the diplomats that Mr.. Davis hates Ger
many worse, than almost any other man
in public life. and no one sees clearer
through the subterfuge and sham char
acterizing German diplomacy than Mr..
Davis, whose legal mind has been for
years trained In distinguishing between
right and wrong, no matter in what
guise the wrong appears.
Admirer OF British.
Mr.. Davis. who has had lifelong ad-
miration for the British people, made
frequent visits to England before the
war. He was in France when the Teuton
onslaught began and came back on the
Mauritania. The vessel was chased by
German warships-or was believed to
have been chased-and the fact that the
Germans began their campaign against
passenger vessels carrying women and
children at this early date served to
show with what sort Of a fore civiliza-
ton had to contend.
Secretary Lansing said yesterday that
Mr.. Davis would return to the United

we'll as the assurance that Won Hintze is

Won Tirpitz, the pan-German leader.
Much excitement was caused in the
corridors of the Reichstag by rumor
that Won Hintze had been appointed
foreign secretary.
The result Of this was that the semi
official announcement of Won HintEes
appointment took tentative form,
merely saying he had been named as
