London. England. May 1s.-(By Tho
Associated Press)-The American am
bassador. George Harvey, in his speech
at tho Pilgrims dinner this evening
announced he had just received IN
structions designating him to represent
the president on the supreme council
with regard TO Siesia.
Ambassador Harvey, who WAS max
ing his first speech since presenting
his credentials declared American SOL
dicrs came to Europe in the war TO
save the United States and NOT to save
European states opposed to Germany
as some had contended.
Mr. Harvey paid tribute to the F1I-
rrims as the most distinctive link III
the chain OF blood relationship between
the British and American peoples and
ono Of tho most potent agencies OF
civilization.
President Harding was portrayed az
n typical, modern American. proud of
his own country. but jealous or no
other mans resolute in maintaining his
own nations rights. but not less
scrupulous in recognizing tho rights
OF others, fair, Just modest man,
humble. but uuafraid.
Tho outstanding attributes of Pres
tdent Harding Mr.. Harvey said arc
breadth ot vision, greatness of heart
fidelity to his race no less than 10
his clan, and no more to his family
parts OF the United Kingdom" He de-
ciarcd these were sufficient reasons
why Mr. Harding felt that friendli-
ness and good will should exist always
between tho great English-speaking s
nations and why he now pledges un-
falterinE cooperation in achievins
that aspiration.
Il shall fail miserably to the gricv-
Gus disappointment of my chief" he
said. iii do not so greatly strengthen
those bonds of friendship and mutua
helpfulness that hereafter our govern
mcnts will not only prefer durable en-
Eagemcnts to tentative compromises
between ourselves, but will instinctive-
" approach all world problems from
the Same angle.
Nothing could 10 more futile. more

 Miss Rosebush had no idea how Robin could repay her, and she did not think she had done anything for which he should, so she hugged the wall closer and went to sleep for tho winter
 When she awoke in the spring she was very much surprised to find Robin already back from the south. around her roots with his bill in a vdry busy manner.
 You see, am keeping my promise" he chfrped q am quite sure know why you have never grown as tall as you should; there are too many worms around this wall but this year you will not be held !, back by. them, I promise you" c. Every morhlng and evening Robin came and worked to repay Miss Rose sbush's kindness of the fall day when he was caught in the snowstofnl,9 and when June. came all the flowers in the garden looked with surprise upon Miss Rosebush's beauty, for she far outgrew them all.
 Up to the top of the stone wall she grew, ana then above it, and her beautiful pink roses were so large that everybody passing that way stopped to-admire them.
 'Now, what do you suppose hap penedT' said big red rosebush who had always been the pride of the garden. "No one ever noticed Miss Rosebush before this summer"
 No one could tell, but if they had asked Robin he could have told them that 1t was kind deeds that made her so beautiful but though it is said that little birds tell great deal, Robin did not tell what he knew about Miss Rosebush, and so no one in the garden found out why she grew so tall and beautiful that summer
