"The Last Man and the Last Dollar."
The American Ambassador 'gifilled a number of engagements
Edinburgh on November 2. Fly in the day Mr. Page visited De Calton Cemetery, and placed
laurel wreath at the base of the statue of Lincoln, which com. suemorates not only the hero of the American Civil War, bat Sestamen who fell in that straggle. The Ambassador took occasion to recall Linoɔla's words on the battlefield of Gettysbarg ag Laving a very direct hearing on the still greater struggle for world freedom in which this country, with America and the other Allies, ie engaged. There after, ut a great gathering of oitizens in the Uaber Hall, Mr. Page was admitted to the freedom of the city, and later the honorary degree of LLD." of Edinburgh University conferred upon him in the McEwan Hall.
To the speech in which he acknowledged the presentation of the freedom, the Ambassador re called the circumstances that had led to America's entry into the war, reviewed what his country had already done, and declared that they were willing to stake their last man and their last dollar. About the issue of this bloody basiness there was not, and could not be, the slightest doubt, (Load cheers.) We had paid too "mach to accept any settlement but a fical settlement, and it wAB necessary that we should not permit ita horror to overcoms us until the right settlement wAS made, And then, what after that? This unparalleled calamity must never be reposted, else all the slow and tedious way that the human race had come from original barbatism would have been travelled in vain. Civilies- tion would almost have been lost. The destruction of life and the pro gressive degradation of standards. Already wrought by this war Moggested the posibilties, il s thing brosme recurrent, of the

There must be no recurrence of this mad rasb towards extermisation, (Cheera.) How was it to be prevented There must be a conscious and leagned effort to forestall any other world-war, We could depend for such sation on all the Powers and peoples who were now fighting with us against our enemies. We were slready faced with this great fict—and we had se well frankly recognise it-apon the English-speaking peoples depended hereafter the safety of: the world. (Cheers.) That was the largest political fact that bad ever risen upon the horizon of the race. (Cheers),
