Of tho American women's hospital ship Malno

notable one no has made since he be-
camo an Ambassador It's most important
feature was sympathetic alusion
to the friendship between Great
Britain. Germany and the United States. In

keynote ofthe occasion was: Let England and
America clasp hands across the sea and the
peace OF the world would be absolutely secure"

him that they ought to express In becoming

Of the people Of Great Britain In this
