Sir Lionel’s transfer, v/hich is a
promotion as far as salary is con
cerned, although the two Legations
possess the same standing in the ser
vice, would have been made some time
ago it is said except for the fact that
the British Foreign Office would not
make the change while the Minister
was under fire for- the alleged inter
views in which he was made to reflect 1
on the policy of the United States

glow of health and his jaunty step and
vigorous stroke on the golf links con
firm his return to physical strength,
which was the purpose of his va

Sir Lionel probably will come to
England before going to his new post.
It is said by his friends that when
he went to Mexico last July he was
offered the choice of •’oing directly
to Bio de Janeiro to succeed Sir Wil
liam Henry Doveton Haggard, who
had reached the retiring age, or of
spending six months in Mexico as the
.Minister there before proceeding to
Brazil. Owing to the state of health
of his wife Sir Lionel decided to go
to .Mexiro first.
