 The first toast of the evening was to the president of the United States and this was followed by toast to the king of England, Then followed the toast England and America" to which Mr. Choate responded. '
 MT. Choate said, among other things:
 T think that during the last week there was a demonstration in this city and country that must carry home to the minds of our friends across the water the conviction that the peace that exists between these two countries can never be broken. It is upon the united action of these two great na- tions in peaceful ennployments that the peace of the whole world depends, and we did not too freely lavish upon the visitors who have just left our shores demonstrations of affection from all the people who came in contact with them.
 T am satisfied that here in this body and this very company, that rep resents the wealth, the commerce and the patriotism of this nation, we have guarantee of the preservation and perpetuation of that peace"
 Referring to the entertainment of the Chamber at banquet in London by the Chamber of Commerce, MT. Choate said: .|. s.s ..e-
 Tt was at that banquet that Lord Lansdowne uttered this sentiment: "The president of the United States will in the years that lie before us be not only in his own country but in the world a potent influence for peace and for the good of the human race"
 Within a few short weeks after the utterance of that sentiment the presi- dent of the United States fell by the hand of an assassin. But the king never dies and the president never dies. and what he said on that occasion has been exemplified with marvellous force lby the example of our present presi- dent.
 How truly has he been a potent in- duence' for the good of the race. Sel- dom does it fall to the lot of any man, emperor, king or president, to render mankind the service that it has been his great and good fortune to render during the last year. When the part that he had in bringing that terrible war to an end is realized-if it ever does become fully known-it will be seen that he deserves the name of peacemaher as greatest of all his titles.''
 MT. Choate lamented the absence from the high seas of the American flag and said he hoped that the voice of the chamber would be potent in de- manding that something be done to re- store the flag to the seas.
 Introducing General Porter, former ambassador to France, MT. Jesup paid tribv+e to "the indomitable pluck, en- ergy and perseverance" which General Porter had displayed in his successful search for the remains of Admiral John Paul Jones. The general spoke on "the diplomatic and commercial relations be- tween the two great republics" He arouse much enthusiasm by his refer ences to the traditional friendship be- tween France and America.
