amicable sympathy which unite France and the
United States more strong and close than now,

OF earnest intelligent looking at the conditions

and praiseworthy successor of and development
of l176 There was eXultaton over the tri-
umphs of this people all the way from Bunker

responsibility and the compusion that have

that as Mr.. ST. Clair McKelway eloquently ex-
pressed It. expansion is destiny and destiny Is
