tion in helping keep Sweden out OF the
war at time when the rigid blockade
of the allies was causing grave compli-
cations.

BY continuous service he became the
doyen of the diplomatic corps in Stock
holm, and he earned the gratitude o.
thousands of American travellers who
fiocked over the Russian frontiers in
distress with the advent of the bolshe-
Wiki. He established a close personal
relationship with the people of northern
Sweden, and when President Harding
came to Office the King of Sweden
sent an emissary to Washington to ask
that Mr.. Morris, be retained at Stock
