cotton wharves the President crossed ;he
bridge to get nearer and gave his I'M
divided attention. The present Lord
Mayor John Mckee explained that
there were two score OF towns nearer
the Manchester district devoted TO the
cotton industry. where the American
product was being turned into fabric.
The President was intensely interested
The Lord Mayor added that the Man
chester district took nearly four million
bales annually of American raw cotton.

tended explanation of the methods Of
balipg cotton, illustrating points as he
went along by eXtravagant gestures.
Meantime our craft WAS passing half
dozen ships in the process OF being
unloaded.
Manchester is really very near the
pocket of the American South" he COM
mented.
Much of the cotton coming to Man
chester by the ship canal upon ships of
ten thousand tonnage has TO be reloaded
into smaller craft for transportation to
smaller towns and lesser canals. The
process was in operation as We passed

did also the mystery ship and the Ger

He referred TO Mrs. Wilson as his
partner in his speech. which follows:
You have again made me feel the
cordially OF your friendship, and l want
to tell you how much l appreciate it,
not only on my own behalf but on be-
half of my partner.
1T is very interesting that the Lord
Mayor should have referred in his ad-
dress TO very vital circumstance in
our friendship. He referred to the fact
that our men and your men have fought
side by side in the great battles. But
the first time. upon such a scale at
any rate. they have fought under a
common commander.
That is an advance which we have
made upon the previous days. and what

But now that there Is no common

The President, the Lord Mayor went
