dress before the Canadian Club here.
Lady Spring Rice is a daughter of
Tue INISut I1oti. srll J. ann i@dsStIlSo
and cousin of the Duke of Devon
shire.
The sudden death of Sir Cecil ere
ated a profound impression in the Cap

Cecils custom to pay many visits to
Ottawa and he came in touch with
many of the dominion's noted states

been here several weeks to rest pre-
paratory to sailing for England.
He made an address in the Chateau
Laurier about a month ago, telling
of some of the experiences he had had
~ Washington in connection with the
entry OF the United States in the war
and speaking Of the events in Europe
as he was able to do from his posi-
ton in the inner diplomatic circles. In
this address Sir Cecil made a rather
significant utterance when it is cou-
pied with his sudden death. He was
talking with keen regret and evident
emotion of his retirement from his post
in Washington. but pointed out how
at this time it was the duty of every
man to play the game. He said:
Every man has his part to play
and it is very hard for a man to cease
to play a part but my time has come"
Funeral services will be held for Sir
Cecil in ST. Bartholomew church here

diplomats long years of service during
which matters of most vital moment.

ment were of inestimable value to the
