That may have been true, but like many another retired British statesman, he is finding that he Is busier in his retirement than he was as an ambassador. Since his return to London from his. around-the-world trip, Mr. Bryce has had not many days to himself. He did for a few weeks go into retirement at his modest country home, "Hind-leap," "Hind-leap," Forest Row, Sussex, but his retirement was almost entirely taken up in writing, for Mr. Bryce is certain cer-tain to give the public something about the countries he visited after4 leaving America, and perhaps a book about America. His real work henceforth, however, will doubtless be, as one writer has aptly put it, "to express the needs olj the community upon the broader sides of life."
