RAPs MISCHIEF MAKERS

Loud rang the cheers at the Wal
dorf last night, cheers like the firing
Of broadsides. when Admiral Lord
Beatty, guest of the Pilgrims.
strummed the golden harp Of British
American harmony There were In
deed such detonations of enthusiasm
as ratified the sllttering pendants Of
the chandeliers.
The Earl OF the North Sea and of
Brooksby, speaking with vivacity, yet
with certain solemnity as he faced
a thousand intent men on the floor Of
the grand ballroom and half as many
women in the boxes Of the balconies,

been expected from the bluff and breezy
Beatty. who goes about the Seven Seas
and some lands with his cap tilted over
his left eve and his shoulders squared
like the yardarms OF the old ships Of the
line. II made a tremendous impression.
That was not all about Lord Beatty's
talk that pleased the Pilgrims and their
guests. for he modestly gave the credit
for the achievements OF the Grand Fleet

the American squadron that fought with
him. Admiral Hugh Rodman in COM

pccted a foreign visitor to say about the
conference forthcoming, which was that
nobody had more hope than the British
Empire that the burden OF maintaining
such arn,aments could be lifted from
