Ambassador, Governor Elect,
Pershing and Others Speak
at G. of C. Dinner.

Sir Auckland Geddes, the British
Ambassador, and Nathan L. Miller
Governor elect, were the principal
speakers before a notable company of
business men and their guests who
attended the 1921 annual dinner of
the Chamber OF Commerce of the
State of New York at the Waldorf
Astoria last night. Gen. Pershing was
also a guest and, as an extra treat,
the diners heard a few words from
him.
Great Britain's official spokesman in
this country stirred the gathering with
one of his careful, eloquent appeals
for international understanding. The
500 men who listened to him-there
We're several women, too, in the pal
cony boxes-rose to their feet and
cheered vigorously when he ended his
address by saying that the only TWO
courses presented to each nation In
the world were cooperation with It's
fellows in maintaining peace, or
isolation and the resulting drift into
inevitable war, and then adding:
THE world waits for an answer to the
