(British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.50 a.m.) RUGBY, August 28
A warm tribute to the Duke of Kent was paid in the Guildhall today by tlie American Ambassador, Mr J. G. Winant. The Duke had been the first to receive him when he landed on British soil, Mr Winant said, and he had later met him in the course of his ambassadorial duties. The Duke had known America well and had an affection for President Roosevelt, whose name had been given to his younger son—a tribute that always will be remembered. The Duke’s last journey was undertaken to visit United States troops as -well as British and they mourned him with the British.
