BRITISH DELAY
IN MEDAL MESS
WONDER CAUSE
Gen. Pershing Will Not Go to
England in Case Cere-
mOny is Held.
RHINE SOLDIERS RETURN
No Word Sent Out From Lon,
don Relative to Unknown
Veteran Honor.

PARIS, Oct g. Gen. Pershing
will not go to London TO lay the
congressional medal on the tomb of
the British unknown soldier in West
minister Abbey, and if the ceremony
is held another American officer will
be designated to represent the Unit
ed States.
This announcement came tonight
from a most authoritative source.
Lack of time available for the trip
between now and October 20 when
Gen. Pershing sails for home, is the
official explanation for this decision
TO abandon his visit to England. 1t
is learned, however, that failure Of
the British war Office tc either Tx
a date for the ceremony, or, until
late yesterday TO give any eXplana-
ton for not replying 10 repeated in
quiries from the American embassy
officials is the chief reason for Gen.
Pershing's decision.
Gen. Pershing came to Europe for
the purpose Of laying the congress
sional medal on the torab Of the
French and British unknown SOL
diers The Washington government
so informed the British government
early in August, and again when he
sailed. So far as can be learned no
answer was received to either COM
munication which asked that a date
be fixed for the ceremony and that
the general be Informed.
Many Inquiries Made.
Since his arrival in Paris further
inquiries have been made at the
British foreign office through the
medium OF the American embassies
in London and Paris one of these
inquiries deTe1aPed the explanation
that such ceremonies usually took a
long time to arrange.
The specially trained battalion
from the American forces on the
Rhine. which acted as a guard of
honor at the Paris ceremony and
was to have proceeded to London.
returned to Coblenz this afternoon
by special train after having been
held week in Paris awaiting word
from the Aritish foreign office.
1t is known that the American
officials in Paris. as well as Gen.
Pershing and his party. have been
mystitied by the silence Of the Brit
ish government and the matter has
caused much embarrassmen to the
general. He has been oesleged with
invitations 10 dinners and official
functions. and the uncertainty of the
London arrangements made it diff
cult to reply TO many of these.
Explanation Advanced.
