Declares Strength of Nation
Is Not Measured BY
Its Armies

London, November 11.-"Today sig
nalizes the joining OF the past with
the future" declared George Harvey,
United states ambassador to Great
Britain, in an armistice day address
here tonight.
The occasion of hts commemorative
discourse was dinner to him and
Mrs. Harvey given by the English
Speaking union. 1t was presided over
by Capt. Frederick e. Guest. air sec
rotary. and attended by distin-
guished Anglo-Ameriean assemblage.
In his address Ambassador Harvey
alluded to President Harding's proc
lamation making the day national
holiday and pointed out the coinci-
dence Of the days falling on the three
hundred and first anniversary of the
landing of the Mayflower.

first time in history are gathered the
foremost statesmen from the utter
most parts of the earth in common
determination to find for the dis

Ambassador Harvey asked rhctori-
cally If history must be forever main

1.-THE strength of a country is not
measured by armies and navies." he
declared. "A school house at cross
roads is more potent ultimately than
a dreadnaught of the seas One little
church on a hill is worth score of
regiments. Tolerance has supplanted
its antitheBis as an actual force. A
peculiar responsibility devolves upon
our two peoples. not only to maintain
but to enhance the new, better, high
er power among men. Mutual re-
spect. confidence and tolerance-these
are the essentials that genius for CO.
operation which has already won for
our Christian President the hearts of
our own people and is destined I be-
lieve, to fetch the English speaking
race into harmonious relationship
so nearly perfect that all mankind
will realize in the near future that
there is more power and glory in
Lead. Kindly Light than in all the
fighting anthems of the world"
