this visit should occur Just when Ad-
Imiral Ijicfs training squadron was be-

place which despite the clamor raised
Iby one element, has proved by the
sincere hospitality displayed by an
other element. that at heart the good
people OF both countries have not only
a desire for the continuance Of ami
cable relations but also sincere re-

"The official entertainments and
social receptions rendered to my offl-

kindly words and sentiments express
ed have been so thoroughly spontan-

the depth and sincerity Of the cordial

stronger than it ever was before. Ad-
miral Harber hsa made an unusually
favorable impression on all with whom
he has come into contact during the
visit of the squadron and will leave
