C! m te Cheques and Trinkets, English Wedding Gifts LONDON. Oct. 3. People are still giving wedding presents in England, but there is a very noticeable change in the nature of the gifts. Instead of the proverbial tea sets, butter dishes and silver mounted inkstands, of former days, the donors are giving cheques to the newly-weds. Trinkets set with real stones also are taking the place of plate or silver. "Probably the principal reason is the housing shortage," declares a well known export. "So many brides have no houses of their own, and they do not want to be burdened with a lot of articles that would have to be kept in storage." Another odd custom is that of parents giving a "mortgage" on historic sets of furniture to the newlyweds, providing for the claiming of the sets when the couple have settled down in earnest in a house of their own.

HOW CINCI BALL PARK WAS ENLARGED

To accrmmodate as many of the Red f?ns as possible Garry Herrmann sot permission of the city VISCOUNT GREY, NEW ENGLISH AMBASSADOR, COURTLY GENTLEMAN (Kansas City Star.) Sir Edward Grey of Falloden will come to the United States as ambassador from Great Britain, after thirtyfmir vpnra tn ctnf-neraft nnrl mnlnm.q f-v 1 Politics has been meat and drink to Viscount Grey since he was elected to Parliament from Berwick-on-Tweed when 23 years old. He was 54 when, in li16, he was forced to resign his seat because of rapidly failing eyesight. Regularly he had been re-elected by his first constitumcy throughout the years, and meanwhile ho had passed twenty-four years in the foreign office. He was SO when he became under secretary of foreign affairs, and William E. Gladstone declared: "I never knew in any man such aptitude for political life with so little inclination toward it." Eight years before the beginning of the world war Sir Edward became foreign secretary. Even in retirement Viscount Grey has retained his interest in politics. so, while hi3 selection for the Wash Ington post is his first appointment I since 1916, his political career can truthfully be said to extend without a break back thirty-four years to the day he first took his seat from Ber-wick-on-Tweed. Tried to Unite Europe. Political storms have raged atout him. He has been assailed by his con temporaries at home and by leadersof other nations abroad. Germany, in the early years of the war, characterized him as "Liar Grey," and pointed to him as the instigator of the war. But he was absolved from this responsibility shortly after his retirement by Germany's own representative in treat Britain when war was declared. Prince Lichnowsky. After recalling the methods of the British I secretary' of state for foreign affairs 1 in amicably settling disputes between his country, France and Russia, following the Balkan disturbances, Prince Lichnowsky declared the European policy of Viscount Grey was intended to preclude for all time possibility of a European conflict. Here is a characterization of Sir Edward, written by Sidney Biooks shortly before the foreign secretary's retirement, and recently reprinted by the New York Evening Post: "An English Gentleman." 'Tossibly if one were to describe Sir Edward as the most English Englishman In England it might help the Americans to a clearer comprehension of the man. To meet him is to feel yourself in the presence of an English gentleman of absolutely the finest type, one whose dignity is so natural that it never occurs to him to wonder whether he is dignified, one from whose lithe frame and Roman emperorish features there radiates an instantaneous impression of entire cleanness and squareness of thought and life and conduct. It is inconceivable that he should ever do or contemplate anything mean or petty or underhand one minute in his company disposes of the notion forever. He is one of the most transparently honest men I have ever come across." And our own typical countryman, the late' Theodore Roosevelt, was so impressed by Sir Edward Gray that he declared after a day's fishing trip with the then foreign secretary on Mr. Roosevelt's way home from his hunting expedition in Africa: "My day with Sir Edward Grey in New Forest was the crowning experience of the whole three months."

Instead tha few EijmDSes we had of him when taking his morning walk, we again had the pleasure of seeing him in the Ritz restaurant, always surrounded by guests. He invited the Italian naval officer, Lieutenant Bartolucci, who was on his way to Washington, to be his guest at lunch one day. At dinner he entertained the various officers of the composite regiment. War stories were recalled, and with General Fox Conner to add the details, one of the most interesting incidents of the entire war was told by General Pershing himself, and this 13 what he said: "The story of the fake headquarters at Belfort has leaked out from various sources and has been mentioned in congress, but this is the first time that I have told it as a story. You can remember that the St. Mihiel , ..-i., i drive, which took place just a year ag0 was talked of for weeks before it happened, uch to our regret the exact date was on the lips of all in Franc and the French press came out boldly and spoke of the American preparation for the attack on the St. Mihiel pocket. "The Germans were showing some activity in moving out and we began to fear that they might get away from us before we could launch our carefully planned offensive. "Something had 1o be done, and done quickly. My headquarters wera located at Ferte-Sous-Jouarre, and all of France and the Germans, too, knew it. I called General Connor, then chief of operations, and releavcd to him by secret scheme of establishing secret headquarters at Belfort, to draw the Germans away from the St Mihiel sector. "I ordered a major-general to go at once with his staff to establish headquarters at Belfort, as we were contemplating an attack in Alsace. He went, and his officers made all arrangements, renting buildings and carrying all the personnel and supplies that the removal of headquarters demanded. Belfort Excited. "The inhabitants of Belfort were greatly excited over It and commenced to move out. Belfort was filled with spies, so it was the very best point for such a move. Not one of our officers who moved down there was let Into the secret except one colonel, who carried the orders for the work and the general plans.

"In Just two days three German divisions were moved away from St. Mihiel to Alsace and others were on the move. My headquarters were then moved from La Ferte to Neufchateau, and the St. Mihiel drive was launched according to schedule.
