started on a special train for Annapolis, Nd, at

F2efore his departure for Annapolis Prince
1,o,,,s said to the correspondent Of 1.-The London
Morning Post:
have thoroughly enjoyed my too brief visit
10 Washington. and ! appreciate highly the
courtesy cordiality and kindness that nave beeIl
shown us by the President members Oh lhe
Cabinet and officers of the army and navy
came to American waters as the colninanQe VI
q British squadron simply to make a friendly
;sit and the great cordiality with which we
have been received / take not as personal 10
myself but rather as compliment 10 the - pill
Ssh navy and as indicating the mutual respect
and good fellowship that exist between GFea'
Britain and the United States -,
AS a seaman l was much impressed with ine
American fleet as it lay at anchor OH Annapolls;

the discipline of the men all gave eVloence that
The vessels were in the highest state OF slLI- i

of the cadets, which showed the thoroughness OF
their training and the magnificent esprit oe
corps that prevails there

President and he good enough to give me
that opportunity at dinner at the White House

strong personality, his intellectual strength, his
comprehensive knowledge, his democracy, but
at the same time his dignity. He looks Wflai

determined courageous. bold am only soifS
that I cannot see and know more of an extraor-
binary as well as a very charming man.
The simplicity. but at the same time the dig
nifty at the White House was very pleasing. 1t
was exactly the house and the surroundings thal
one conceives 10 be in keeping with republican
institutions. There was neither extraVagance nor
ostentation. but everything was in such quiet
taste and so perfectly arranged that 1t was de-
lghtful. 1 shall always remember with pleas
my dinner at the White House and the very
Gu-a Ing /
President
This is the first time. I believe that British
admiral has been received by the President at
Washington. Now I should like TO see an
American President received by the King in
London. Such meeting would be peculiarly
appropriate as both the King and President
Roosevelt have rendered such distinguished ser
vices 10 the cause Of the worlds peace. 1 am
sure nothing would give greater pleasure TO the
British people than TO welcome the President Of
The American Republic on British soil.
/ look forward with great interest to the din
ner in New-York. at which three thousand
American and British bluejackets viii sit down
and to which / have been invited. The dinner
Is given by the enlisted Of the American
navy to sailors; it is paid for by the Ameri-
sailors out Of their own pockets. and proves

really strong liking the men of the two navies
have for each other.
