War - Contents O f
Note not Yet Given to
Public.

Washington. April 6-Myron T. Her
rick has decided to accept appoint
ment as ambassador to France, a post
he filled under President Taft and
which he occupied at the beginning of
the world war Mr.. Herrick's for
NAL nomination will be made soon
and he will go to France in the early
summer.
Mr.. Herrick, it is understood, was
offered the post some time ago by
President Harding, but, his friends
say, was reluctant to accept it be-
cause he felt he should devote the re-
mainder of his life to personal affairs.
Since he left the diplomatic service
Mr.. Herrick has sustai: ed personal
misfortunes which included the death

word came to Washington from
France that the selection of the for.

would be received there with gratifi-

it was explained today, the word

France as has been expressed, call
him, In the present posture OF
world affairs he cannot neglect what
he considers a duty.
In going to Paris again Mr.. Her

cause contrary to popular belief he is
not a wealthy man although he has
been successful In the conduct of his
personal business affairs and he was
not convinced that he could afford to
provide an embassy himself out of
he salary of an ambassador.
Entertainment, which figures as a
large expense for an ambassador
probably will be small one for Mr.
Herrick, for he goes to the post prac-
tically alone. and with the intention
of devoting shimself to the problems
of the office rather than the social
'eason.

This is not an argument for or

his was the harmless one, yet none
could escape the suspicion that his
shot had been deadly after all. Ev-
en- so, it had several advantages over
hanging, as every one realizes who
ever witnessed an execution of this
kind. Too often the condemned, al
most more dead than alive, has to
be carried bodily to the platform. and
