for the benefit and peace of the world
 No Stranger to England

NO stranger 70 Eh9iano
 "Mr. Harvey is no stranger to Eng land" he added. His knowledge of England and his knowledge of Europe will be of the greatest help to him.
 You will alf agree that we would all wish America and the British Elm pire should walk hand in hand through the many difficulties that be- 's set us for the benefit of the peace of the world. The king has warm feel ings of friendship and regard for the United States and he, more than any body else, would welcome an exten- sion on the friendly feeling which really never ceased to exist"
 Premier Lloyd George. in seconding' the Duke of Connaught, said:
 'The United States has honored us greatly by sending us succession of distinguished men as ambassadors. The fame of our guest has travelled long ago to this country, His cham rionship of the cause of the allies was well known.
 War Taught Many Lessons
 ~The war has taught us many les sons. One of these lessons is that the immense population of the Unit ed States is not of Anglo-Saxon. nor even of Anglo-Celtic origin. In the United States there are men of every race. Nevertheless, it is source of pride that in the great events of America the directing minds have been Anglo Celtic The great litera- ture of America is ours; the great lit erature of Britain is theirs. We speak the same tongue; we worship the same great men. That produces a sympathy and community that noth- ing can break
 We welcome the new ambassador for many years. He is a brilliant pub lieist. I read the other day testi- meny to his gifts by the president, who said he was one who had more to do in the awakening of the soul of America than anyone outside of public life, who writes with the most trenchant and convincing pen of any man, in this country
 We never can regard citizens of the United States as foreigners. there fore, in the new ambassador we well come ajbrilliant kinsman. The future well being of the world depends more on She good will, the good understand ing and cooperation between these two great Englisl-speaking peoples than on any other fact. It is the surest guarantee of world peace.
 Glad Of U. S. Choice
 T am glad then that the ambassa- dor's appointment coincides with the decision of the United States to be represented in the councils of the na- tions. I am glad that the new am bsssador has been chosen as the rep resentative of the United States and that he will be present at the coming meeting. It is essential for the peace of the world that America should be in.
 European diplomacy works always in the dense thicket of ancient feuds. rooted, entangled and entwined. It is difficult to see the path; it is not always possible to see the light of day. I did not realize it all until the peace conference
 ''Tn central Europe there are blood feuds all thought had been dead and buried for centuries. which have been resurrected. Repression and repose for centuries have given them new strength. It is difficult to walk wise iy and well amidst all these ancient eonfiiets-the memories are so great, so continuous, so intense. the mo-

CALLED NATIONS MODEL CITY
High Distinction That, by General Con.
sent, Seems to Have Been Won
by Marysville, Mich.

Thirty miles north of Detroit lies
what is known as the "model city of
America says a Detroit telegram to
the st. Louis Post-Dlspatch 1t IS
Marysville, owned entirely by devel-
opment company. The model city Is
marked by clean private homes, we'll
paved streets, little wealth and a con
tented community, where strikes are
unknown.
Marysville was a struggling COM
munity of some few hundred souls
when the Marysville Land Develop
ment company was formed. The COM
pany proceeded to buy up the entire
town. Factory sites were then sold to
other concerns and homes were sold to
the workers at "a reasonable price"
TO those who did not care to buy, suit
able hotel and boarding house accom-
modatlons We're provided.
There is no politics in this little city
Of 10000 population. The principal
property holders each year hire a city
manager to run the place on the com
mission form of government. The cltys
school system is not surpassed by any
In America. Educators We're brought
from some of the largest cities in the
country and told to provide the best.
Dance halls, movie theaters and steam
boat companies were granted conces-
sions under the city government.
Taxes are low, as the upkeep of the
town is practically paid for largely by
the manufacturers.
