Duke Of Connaught's Tribute
The Duke of Connaught, who was cordially
received, proposed the health Of Mr. Daniels.
He said it was a great pleasure to him, as
president of the Anglo-American Society
and Sulgravc Institution, to find himself
tary Daniels. We all looked upon his visit,
following the splendid services rendered by
the United States Navy, as very happy
one. Mr.. Daniels must already have seen
how warm place the American Navy had
gained in the hearts of the British people.
He hoped that Secretary Daniels had seen
sufficient of the fleet to recognize in it
great asset for good, for the protection of
the world. He did not think there had been
any instance in the history of the navy
when we had not been on the side of what
was right and just. We were, in fact, pro-
lection for civilization and of the world
All present would agree with him when
he said that we hoped that the good feelings
that had been cemented between the two
navies would live forever (cheers) and that
the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes
might be seen working together for the
good and right of the world and for the
progress of civilization.
discount Byrce and the League
Viscount Bryce seconded the toast, and
referred to the feicitous way in which the
Duke Of Connaught had mentioned the two
anniversaries that affected both nations.
Mr.. Daniels represented the place where the
British flag first few in North America.
When our fleet went into battle at Alex
andria the American crews cheered our men.
He ngratulated Mr.. Daniels on the i'm
mense achievement of the carrying through
at the Paris conference of the covenant of
the league of nations. That was an un-
paralleled achievement. 1t was the first
great and serious effort made to lead the
world out of the paths of war into the
paths of peace. Our eyes were now fixed
on the United States to know whether there
this covenant would be accepted. 1t was not
for US to offer advice, but we might be per-
mitted to express our most earnest hope
that the covenant would commend itself to
the people of the United States. The oppor-
tunity might never recur. Without the CO.
operation of the United States the peace
league could not succeed.
Mr.. Daniels, in responding, expressed his
thanks to Sir Robert Hadield with whom
he had had most pleasant associations in
his own country, to the Duke of Connaught,
whose services in America and here had
endeared him to the people of both coun-
tries, and to the former Ambassador to the
United States, than whom one was more
beloved and honored in America. (Cheers)
beloved in America as the grand old young
cdence that they gathered there on
that day which, in America, ranked second
only to the anniversary which we held in
Great Britain Of the victory of Lord Nelson.
1t was just twenty-one years ago that day
that Admiral Dewey sailed into Manila Bay
and won the victory which made the day
memorable in American history. (Cheers)
And in America they loved to remember
that in the fateful days that followed, when
the German admiral sought to embarrass
Dewey, it was great British sailor, Admiral
Chichester, who baked him. (Checrs.) The
German admiral called upon Admiral Chi
chester and asked him: What will you do
if I move my ships over to where Admiral
Dewey's flagship, the Olympian, is an
chored?" ?" The British admiral was diplo-
mat, as were most naval officers, and he re-
piled to the German in two words, ASK
