Loses Grand Old Man

With the death of Lord Balfour. England loses her grand old man. of statesNanship. It came hard for the English to call him. an out standing commoner, Lord" Balfour. They had known him so long as mister, or "A. J., or Arthur" that the simpler titles clung to him to the day of his death.
 Incidentally. the bestowal of a peerage on the man who had held every other gift in the power of the British people, including the prime ministership, was the direct outcome of the Washington conference. Balfour, born in lS4S and statesman of the old school, had seen a world war come. with it's vic- tory for the allies. He had also been a change in politics, with a younger, more aggressive school forging to the front in parliament. | He had been forced to give over his power to men, like Lloyd George, whom he had battled throughout his career. As a mark of distinction since Lloyd George couldn't go to Washington for the Harding confer ence-the grand old man" was given this assignment, the last of his career.
 He came home once more to find himself acclaimed a hero, but d | hero of peace. It was inescapahie that he should be honored. and thus it was that the peerage-an earldom which he had three times rejected was thrust upon him. Born An Aristocrat
 Balfour was born an aristocrat, and viewed the world with somc- what bored and academic detach- ment. In the first place, he was ;l Cecil. and membership in that dis tinguished family was a. mark Of aristocracy.
 He entered public life in 1878 when, at tie age of 50, he accom- painied his uncle, the Marquis of Salisbury, and Lord Beaconsfield, the great Disraeli, =, member of the British mission to the congress VI ioCIilll. ol iltdiiS llly SCdl thereafter, he served in the house of commons.
 He assumed the premiership in 1902, after a stormy interval as sec retary for Ireland, during which his name became anathema in the ;s- land as Balfour of the iron hand.
 His government fell before the on- slaught of Lloyd George in 1905, but he returned to the cabinet with As- quith, in the first coalition ministry of 1915. With Lloyd Georges sec ond coalition, he became foreign secretary, which was his portfolio when he headed the British war mission to the United States in 191- In 1920 he left tho foreign office ;D become lord president Of the priv, council.
 In recent years he had been closv- ly identified with League of Natioas activities, and played important parts in assembly and council meet ings.
 The last official act of the la'> statesman was in May, 1929, when he presided over the privy counci at Craigwell House, Bogndr, al which King George signed the dc. cree dissolving the parliament.

EARL OF bALFOUR
 DEAD IN ENGLAND
Continued From First Page)

of the admiralty, foreign secretary. prime minister and member of in- numerablc government missions and committees, the Earl of Balfour's political life spanned by good margin the latter years of the reign of Queen Victoria, down through the reign of King Edward VII and through more than 15 years of the reign of King George.
 Lord Balfour was most famous, perhaps, for the so-called Balfour note in which Great Britain re- nounced all post war claims in con- tinental Europe, both from her all lies and Germany, beyond what was needed to pay her own debts in the | United States and by the Balfour declaration of British policy in Pal estine, which set aside that country as a home for repatriated Jews.
 Macdonald Expresses Grief
 Prime Minister Macdonald in- formed almost at once of the earl's death, declared: Tt is the end of a long useful life and the whole na- tion will unite in expressing its re- gret and in paying it's tribute"
 The earl was Sl years old last July and he played tennis right up to that birthday. A most notable characteristic was an almost unlim- tied capacity 10 remember. He fro- quently astonishcd friends with rec ollections of the most trivial incl dents in his long career.
 Arthur James Balfour was crcat- cd the first Earl of Balfour in 1922. He held besides the title, Viscount Traprain of Whittinge- flame.
 King George sent the following message to Gerald Balfour:
 The death of Lord Balfour will evoke throughout the empire and in many other parts of the world, feel lngs of deep sorrow which the queen and I fully share. It is a na- tional loss of a great statesman, the last of Queen Nictoria's ministers. l shall treasure his memory as a life long friend, a great and charming personality, wise and trusted coun- selor.'
 Praise From Chamberlain
 Sir Austen Cham berlain said
 Tn Lord Balfour the nation lost the finest mind that has been given to politics in our generation. We shall not look up his like again. To mo he was ever the kindest of friends and the most delightful of companions. l owe him much"
 Winston Churchill paid the fol lowing tribute:
 q have sustained a very keen personal loss because l have known Lord Balfour since was a child and always have been treated by him. in 50 years of political life, with eX- treme kindness.

Annual Tax of $25 for
Each County Must Be
Paid BY D. C. Realtors

Washington real estate brokers
who operate in Maryland counties
adjacent to the District of Colum-
bia are now compelled to have
an operating license, according to
special notice sent out yester-
day to members Of the local Real
Estate Board, by John A. Petty,
executive secretary. The notice
read:
Washington real estate brOk-
ers operating in Maryland
must pay an annual tax of SIS
for each county in which they
operate and an additional fee
of so cents to the clerk of the
court issuing the license"
"The annual feet of $3.50 is
due May l and payable any
time during the month. A pen
atty of 10 per cent per month
is added beginning June |.
Failure to pay the license sub
jectS the broker operating in
Maryland to arrest"
Analyzing the law the notice
says no license is required of any
one negotiating mortgage loans
or collecting rents or for placing
of for rent signs. The placing of
for rent signs, however, brings
the broker within the law. Prop
erty owners and brokers are not
required to take out a license
for the handling of property per
sonally owned by them.
During the past week Thomas
A. Gilleece, State inspector of IL
cenSeS, from Annapolis, called on
several local brokers who operate
in Maryland in order to explain
the requirements of the Mary
land law and assist them to OBJ
tain the necessary license.
