WSCOUNT GREY
 MAY SUCCEED
 AS AMBASSADOR
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON. Jan. "A topic that is greatly interesting British official dom and the public at the moment is the selection of an ambassador to the United States to succeed Sir Cecil Arthur Spring Rice.
 Three names thus far are being discussed those of Niscount Grey, former forcig1 secretary; Earl Read ing, lord chief justice of England, and J. Austen Chamberlain, eldest son of the late Joseph Chamberlain and former secretary for India.
 Niscount Grey is generally con sidcrcd the strongest man of the three. He is one of the foremost of British statesmen and his political convictions are sincerely and deeply democratic and liberal. The only handicap Co Niscount Grey suggested is that he is distinctly shy and re- 'irbg There is d belief here, whether it he right or wrong, that inc British ambassador to the United States should be what is called a mixer.
 Lord Reading now holds the office of the chief justice of England and it is questionable whether he would he willing to resign that post for any diplomatic position, although he has temporarily waived it for special missions
 Mir Chamberlain hai suffered the life lot,g handicap of being the son of an important and able father. He has his fathers manners and man. uerisms. He wears a mOnacle and the members of the labor party. who today play an important and almost dominating part in British politics, would say that he is too much of an arstocrat to be Great Brtain's rep resentative in the United States.
 The fact that Sir Cecil Spring Rice is being called from Washing tom and Sir George W. Buchanan from the embassy to Russia does not mean any lack of confidence in them on the part of the government, much less any feeling that they have not fulfilled their duties well. Buchanan
