When Commissioner Mcfarland was
asked about his trip to Nashville, where
he went with the British ambassador and
former Secretary John W. Foster. to adj
dress the worlds student volunteer con-
yention, he said: 1T was very interesting
and the convention Itself impressive and
inspiring. Five thousand students pledged
to foreign missions, representing ali the
universities and colleges and higher pre-
paratory schools in the United States and
Canada, including many leading athletes
and scholars, the very flower of our uni
versity system, large number of promi-
nent professors. and fraternal delegates
from universities of Europe and Asia, were
the remarkable audience. Dr. Fries of
Stockholm. Sweden, president Of the
Worlds Christian Student Federation, with
which the student volunteer movement is
affiliated represented the federation, which
numbers 100000 members. IN forty different
lands. Once in four years such a eonven-
ton as that at Nashville is held
The addresses Of Str Mortimer Durand
and Secretary Foster upon the relations
between diplomacy and foreign missions
testified to the great services of leading
missionaries, and gave the favorable reports
OF their personal observation of foreign mis-
sions. Applause is forbidden by the rules
or these conventions, but when Secretary
Foster mentioned incidentally that he was
convention could not be restrained and he
got the only applause of the week The
presence of the British ambassador was
highly appreciated and his remarks made
a deep impression"

Mr.. Mcfarland said that Nashville had
entertained the delegates with great sue
cess, every one being the guest of home,
Iheir own party was entertained delight

AT Knoxville. where the party had several
hours on the way to Nashville, they we're
driven around the city and entertained at
dinner. 90
Mr. Mcfarland said he found Nashville
ana Knoxville enjoying the greatest pros
perlty and planning important civic i'm
provements. He had opportunity to talk
ABOUT the national capital and found the
same interest In Its development and en-
peihshment there az elsewhere and the
same desire that Congress should deal gen
erousiy with 1T. He also found that what
had been done here was used as an areu-
ment for municipal improvements
Inc party arrived at Asheville Yesterday.

meet engagements here, but the British
