Death of Lord Bryce

The death of Viscount James
Bryce is mourned in the United
tates with the same sense of
sorrow and bereavement as in the
domains of Great Britain. He
was affectionately called the
English Yankee" and it has
been said of him that he knew
America better than most Amer
leans. In the early days Of his
distinguished career he took a
keen interest in the affairs Of the
United States, he studied the
American people, their history
their institutions and their inter
eSts, and as the result Of his
ST. dies lie wrote, The American
Commonwealth, " which was ad
opted as a standard text book in
American schools.
For five years, he was British
Ambassador at Washington and
50 we'll did he adapt himself to
the circumstances of his Office,
and so cordially did lie mix with
the American people. and SO often
did he speak in American gath
erings.that he was regarded as
one Of our very best citizens, -
and was as useful as lie was
charming.
he did more than any man Of
his day and generation to promote
good will betwe en- the British
and American peoples, and to
strengthen the bonds of friend.
ship.
AS a scholar, as a statesman,
as a diplomat, as whole-llearted
democrat, as a man Of high ideas
purity of character and blameless
living he had few equals and nc
superiors in England or in Amer
lea and his memory will be cher
ished as common heritage
among the English speaking peo'
pies of the earth.
