MR HENRY JAMES
ADOPTS BRITISH NATIONALITY. Mr lie ray James was granted papers of naturalisation un .Monday, July 26, and took the oath of allovia:.ce as a British subject. The reckons which Mr Jam-as gives in his petition for naturalisation are: Because of his having lived and woiked in England for the best part of 40 years ; because of his attachment to the country r-.nd his sympathy with it and it* peopk -. because of the long friendships and .".sscciations and interests he has formed here—these last including tlie acquisition of some property; all of which things have brought to a, head bis desire to throw his moral weight and personal allegiance, for whatever they may be worth, into the scale of the contending nation's present and future fortune. Mr Henry James's friends have long known how intense were his sympathies with the cause' of the Allies. It may be replied that last December he wrote a delightful little appreciation of. the work at the front of the American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps, formed of old Harvard, Yale, and Princeton graduates. He also wrote a noble prefatory address and translated a contribution by Maurice Barres for 'The Book of Prance."'
