legs necessary. The patient is resting

Admiral Dewey in reply thanked the
Canadians very cordially for the invita-
ton.

me since my arrival in New York last
October" said he, none has touched me
more deeply than this. We. are of the
same blood. There is but slight difference
between us, and / want to say that the
one man who stood at my back during
those trying days at Manila was an Eng
lishman. But for his support and the
moral courage he inspired me with, 1
