The Guildhall Banquet to-night, like today's pageant with the Dominion troops, assumed an essentially military aspectu

There was a brilliant gathering of representatives of our Allies, who rare especially toasted.

At the Guildhall Banquet, Lord Kirchener, responding to the boast of the Army, said that the soldiers in the field woukt deeply appreciate the toast. Every officer returning from the front had said that the inen ure doing splendidly. His Lordship referred to the good work of the Lordon Scottish and the Indians and paid a very warm tribute to our gallant Allina, especially expressing his admiration for General Joffre and the Grand Duke Nicholas, Lord Kitchener affirmed that the Empire is now fight- ing for its existence. I want every citizen to understand this cardinal fact, us it is only from a clent conception of the vast issue at stake Abat can come the great national and morni rupulse without which Governments. War Ministers and even Armies and Navies eum to little. We have enormous advantages in our resources of men and material and in our wonderful spirit, which never undertook the meaning of defent. All these are great aspirts, These must be used judiciously and effectively. I have u complaints whatever to make about the response to my appeals for men or to the progress of the military training, but I want more inen still--more men till the enginy is crushed. Our losses in the trenches have been severe, but they will act as air incentive to British manhool.

Lord Kitulener paid a heartfelt mundogs to the British Apng and to Sir John French and his Generals, all of whom had displayed military qualities of the highest order. The some level of counge and efficiency had been maintained throughout all ranks. The enemy must also rekon with the forms of our great Dominions, the vanguard of which we had already welened.in yery fine bodies of ten. Besides these were training in Great Britain over a million and a quarter of inen eagerly awaiting the call to take their place in the field and sustain the endit of the Army, which never stool higher than it does today.

The French Ambassador, responding for the Allies, imphasised that when history sought the responsibility for so much blood-shed, for those".. burnings: those methodical massacres the responsibility would not rest with the Allies. The barbarian had been raised by a dogmin taught by professors, reinforced by science and was new to all times. The Allies believed in eternal justice and awaited those decrees with unshakable confidence.
