called for some remarks from Senator

months had brought about a better
feeling between Great Britain and the
United States than ever before. And
why not?" asked the senator. w
sneak the same tongue, we hin much
the same and we read the same books.

of people. speaking the English tongue
and standing together In thought and
purpose. will do more for peace than
any war ever waged."
Judge Day was then introduced to
sneak. and with dignity in word and
manner he referred to the fact that
