as he had planned because of the
failure of the British War Oflice ta
fix a date for the ceremony.
Such explanations of the delay on
the part of the 'War Office to fix the
time when the United States for-mall!
could honor Great Britain's war dead
would appear to indicate that tba
British Government did not. have time
to make the arrangements for tha
ceremony. Washington advised Lon»
don early in August of the details at
the plan, but it is said many British.
ministers have been out of the. cl”.
and have otherwise been so busy tEat
they have been unable to give the sit-
nation the attention it demanded.
General Pershing will sail for tbs
I’nitcd States on Oct. 20. and the .m—
terval before that date will not be
sufficient to permit him to carry out
his plan of going to London.
