tan Club treated Ambassador Myron
r. Herrick and the French senator.
Henry De Jouvenel, last night to
Thanksgiving dinner as near to the
old-fashioned variety as the French
kitchen can supply. c. Inman Bar
hard, who presided, showed the guests
the medal 'commemorating the hrst
Thanksgiving dinner enjoyed by the
Pilgrims in the seventeenth century.
and remarked that a good many trou-
bles had happened MEANWHILE: yet
there were still many things to be
thankful for.
Americans abroad" said NJ. De Jou-
Nenel, in the course Of his speech,
s'will probably continue to celebrate
Thanksgiving, I hope they will al
ways have good reasons for so doing
but Europe will have less reason so
long as the United States remains out
eide the community Of nations"
The senator assured the diners that
he wasn't going to ask for anything.

he said, since you gave your boys ana
your resources In the common cause.
But at the present time we have come
TO realize that we can no longer count
upon the United States.
Service of League.
"The league of nations Is the best
United States. But since the United
States did not see fit to come in. we
have found that the same league Is
the best medium for US to get along
without them. There is no nation in
Europe big enough. strong enough and

solution Of the great problem In the
future lies in international union"
The senator remarked that Great
Britain, which was the first to risk

pact, but he was sure Great Brttain's
cooperation with Europe in the fu-
rure would be through the league OF

Frnnco-Britlsh Friendship.
Ambassador Herrtck thought ono or
the greatest things the world had to
be thankful for was that France and
Great Britain had avoided drifting
definitely apart THE successful pass
ing of this momentous crisis" he add
ed, "is Of great portent for the fu-
rure. Never again will it be neces-
sary for the great peoples to resort to
arms to settle their differences. Let
the whole world be thankful for that"
Abiding to the charges of imper-
1alism against France, Senator De
Jouvenal said:
Nations are no longer imperial
sstic since the war; they are protec-
rionist-they want security and tran
quillity. They know that armies are
the most expensive way of defending
their firesides, and they are turning to
the idea of an international European
pact Of guarantee. with each nation
taking Its responsibilities, in time."
The senator said he thought the
reparations question would ultimately
be referred to the league of nations,
as its solution depended upon an i'm
mense credit operation, which the
league only could put through.
Bishop c. D. Williams, who is in Eu-
rope to inspect the European diocese
of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
also spoke.
