The freedom of the city of London will be ###ed upon Lord Reading, retiring victory of India, on his arrival here on Sunday. Great preparations are being made by the government and city authorities. A special banquet in his honor will be given by the city. A suggestion has also been made that Lord Reading be made a marquis or that the Order of the Garter be conferred upon him.
Upon his return to England, Lord Reading will take an active interest in British Jewish life, it is expected. The first function of the Jewish community in which he is expected to participate is the festival dinner to aid the Jewish Hospital and Orphan Home. The dinner, which will take place on May 17, will be presided over by Lord Reading.
