Declaring Fraternity" 70 be a def

Me-" and asserting the spirit of
brotherhood between the different ma
tionahties, more strikingly manifest
ed here than elsewhere, must take
the place of hatred and suspicion, if
peace is to prevail, Arthur Walwyn
Evans, nephew of David Lloyd-George
kept the vast audience at the chau-
tauqua tent alternating between
laughter, tears and deep attention last
night.
The address followed the splendid
band concert and the excrutiatingly
| funny Australian manikans.
| Mr.. Evans said that when a boy
he had been taught at home and at
school that Great Britain was the
really great nation. He learned from
| his school histories that France was
the natural enemy of the English peo-
pie and that in the numerous war
which had taken place France was al
| ways wrong and England was al
ways right; France was always whip
| ped and England always victorious.
1t was long afterwards that he dis
covered that at the same time little
4 French boys were being taught across
the channel a few miles away that
Eneland was always wrong and that
FI~lEe always right and that England
always lost while France always won
He had been taught that Britannia
could whip the whole world and that
all other nations were in terror at the
mention of her name. She alone was
really great while other states were
insignificant in comparison A visit
to America surprised him much, for
here he found out that this country
was the nation that could whip the
world and that England was compar-
atively insignificant.
: England had had an awakening and
because she had been too confident
OF her own power ard the relative
unimDOrtance of other people tha
awakening was costly The grea
trouble with humanity was tha; the!
failed to recognize the worth of thu
other fellow and what he had don'
!, for humanity, and the result of thi
was that international hatreds ant
misunderstanding which grew int
wars had followed.
France was not the only countr.
= which he had been taught to despis
in his youth. He hated and despisei

= result of which might be summed u
- in the military report "The right win
of the enemy inflicted severe damag
on our rear" 1t was because CT mu
tual animosities that hereditary nor
archs like the Hohenzollern had bee
- able to entrench themselves in ns
~ tions and to inflict grievous calamitie
on the world. For all that the Gel
ie man autocracy stood he had hatred tf
- day, but for the peaceful Germans h
had not. And the further he ha
travelled in different parts of Europ
&c Asia, and America, the less "chesty
he became and the more he believe
in the brotherhood of man.
~ Although the American was IL
most fraternal of men and the be
mixers this spirit of superiority ov'
v. others obsessed him. While Ameri'
