VERIT OF PRESIDENT POINCARE.
London, Nov. 11
Prevident and Mme. Poincare aud m. cịtuðu arrived at Victoris eu'à state visit this afternoon. They were welcomed by Their Majesties, with was they drove to Bucsingham Place through dense crowus dammiting great enUINSLEKİNİ.

Everywhere the Empire performed prodigies

Coating, be paid unmeasured praise to the great work of His Majesty's deet and reminded His Majesty that he had an opportunity when last in Paris of ascertaining what a frank and strong friendship France entertained for mil the peoples of the Brush Empire. No longer could they do without each other. He hoped Britain would never have to redeem her solemn promise of military assistance in the event of a fresh attack on France's north-eastern frontiers, and that the League of Nations would receive authority and the power necessary for the accomplishment of its pacife mission. He expressed the opinion that even within the League. the fraternal collaboration of Britain and France would retain its value and usefulness. Their union could do much for the tranquility of their future and the happiness of humanity.
Concluding, M. Poincare`said that both nations were especially interested in seeing that Germany faithfully fulfed the Treaty, over the execution of which they must together watch for long lature years. They would have to retaove from the new Europe the evil temptations, the tasks of adventure. The task was not unworthy of England and France or their Allis, "Let us have the will to accomplish it Lrt set ourselves to make war henceforth impossible." Specking at a fanchren at the Guildhall, President Poincare said, England had always been guided by principles of the fair-. play. Formerly when Eritain and France were adversaries they altacked with chivalrous courtesy and thus learned to re- spect each othe... "Can you conceive a more audacious challenge to civilisation and the sparit of the twentieth century than to wage war by night in open towns and bury innocent people in the ruins of their, dwellings. It is necessary that the peace we have just sizard si ould spare to posterity the resumption of the horrors we have known. Our two great proples have powerfully contributed to save righteousness from ruja wherewith it was threatened. It remains for them to give it a new life and assure its reign upon earth. (Cheers).

Tens of thousands congregated in White- Hall around the cenotaph making me of the unit remarkable crowds ever gathered in the world. It included hundreds of bereaved mothers and widews from the lowlist to the highest in the hand. At the signal of the first maroon, men and women near the cenetaph heedless of those around thema were on their knees with lands clasped and remained thus without a sign of well-consciousness. The Premier's wreaths. were inscribed in his own handwriting "A bimble token of gratitude to those who died that we may 1st more abundant ly. As the period of silence ran out tears fell from the eyes unchecked. Womenfolk fought hard to subdue their emotion and it cuded with a sigh.

Mr. Bonar Law gave it as his opinion that nothing im mediate was contemplated. The House could be assured that no steps would be taken until it was consulted.
Sir 3. J. G. Hoare asked if the Government departed from Mr. Churchill's policy (cabled on Nov. 5). Mr. Bonar Law reiterated that his view of the speech was that it was. iserely an expression of hope of getting peace in Russia.
