Century Memorial
Lewis Morris Iddings had been so long in the diplomatic service—it was in 1897 when his uninterrupted career in that field in Italy and Egypt began—that most of the ties that bound him to New York were worn away. Older newspaper men will remember his cheerful presence as editorial writer on the Tribune and city editor on the Evening Post during the eighties. In the war relief work of Italy, where he had been for so many years personally well known to visiting Americans as Secretary of the American Embassy at Rome, he was an active and useful participant.
