We record with very great satisfaction the announce- ment that
Sir Julian Pauncefote is to be raised to the Peerage. Though the apparent occasion is the end of the Peace Conference, the services chiefly recognised are undoubtedly thoSe which Sir Julian Pauncefote has rendered to his country at Washington. He has shown himself an ideal occupant of that great post. Though he has never dreamt of trying to curry favour with American public opinion, and has always stood up stoutly and persistently for the rights of his own country, he has always shown himself friendly and sympathetic in the beet sense to the great kindred nation to which he is accredited. Hence he has won the respect not only of the Government at Washington, but of the American people as a whole. They like a man, and know one when they see him.
