colonies. addressing a Conservative
mass meeting last evening at st. AL
bans, said he thought that IL any justi

required 1t was afforded by the present
relations between the United States and
Great Britain.
AT trying time" he said, "the gov
ernments preserved their self-control
and waited for coolness. justice and
common sense to reassert themselves.
Now the dark, miserable cloud which
so long hung over the Anglo-Saxon peo-
pies has drifted off. IL is only a few
days since British and American officers
and men fell on the same field OF con-
quest. They were not engaged in fra
tricidal strife, but were fighting
shoulder to shoulder, and small though
the incident was, IL will be of Importance
In the history OF the world.
"All must reNet." continued Lord
Selborne, the lamentable cause OF the
incident, but the only three nations con-
cerned were what we might term the
three countries in nations OF the world "
America and Germany, in this mat
ter would prove as amenable as Great
Britain TO the dictates OF common sense.
