We are told on very high authority that of the

people who went to America during the war, none made a better impression than the Archbishop of York and Sir Walter Lawrence. They are, indeed, sometimes grouped with the Prince of Wales as the three Englishmen who carried all before ,them. No doubt the Americans, with their love of Shakespeare, mould be delighted to sec a great ecclesiastic and the holder of • Wolsey's office still occupied in the affairs of the State, but we .are afraid the appointment might be thought too mediaeval here. But Sir Walter Lawrence, with his great knowledge of India, would, we believe, prove invaluable.
