Premier Praises Panama Canal,
Which Ambassador Says Is
for British Profit.
Special Gable Despatch 10 The Sen.

LONDON. March ll.--Premier Asquith.
Ambassador Walter II. Page and Am
bassador willard. the American envoy to
Spain. were among the guests at a dinner
of the Association of Chambers OF Com
merce held here this evening.
In the course OF his speech the Premier
referred briefly to the coming celebration
Of the centennial Of peace between Grea,
approaching opening of the Panama Canal,
which he called red letter days In the
calendar of international trade" He said
the British fleet would be worthily repre-
sented. not like century ago. as ennis
saries Of destruction. but as messengers
Of peace and abiding goodwill to nat on
between whom and ourselves war has be-
come an unthinkable thing"
Ambassador Page raised a hearty laugh
by saying that the United States did no.
build the canal for England but IL added
greatly to the pleasure OF Americans to
know that the British would profit mos,
by 1t. He added that something similar
could be said about the new tar!n. The
lowering of the import rate, lie said. was
economically sound for the Americans but
1t was an added pleasure TO know that by
doing 50 they would get more British
tiade.
The laughter was renewed when Mr..
Page, referring TO President Wilson'S mes
sage on the tolls question. said that the
President did not issue the message to
please Great Britain. but TO express the
sentiment of self-respect of the American
nation. Nevertheless. added the Ambas
sador II is an added pleasure To know that
the expression has pleased the British.
Ambassador Page went on 70 say That
he wished To correct an Impression in the
English press that the United states mas
entered on a policy OF discouiaging for
eign investment in Central America.
That, he explained, Is untrue, the only
desire OF the United States being to pre-
vent Investors who put their money In
Central American countries from getting

Milan succeeded in getting possession of
Alexander and induced the Metropolitan
to grant him a divorce. This divorce was

Milan abdicated In 1883 In favor of
Prince Alexander. Queen Natalie, who
thereupon returned to Servia, was forced
TO go into exile In 1891, but In 1894 both

to Belgrade and they were apparently
reconcied. Their triumph, however, was
