SOME RACY STORIES BY LORD FISHER.

H'S FIRST SPEECH AFTER THREE YEARS OF SILENCE.

BACKED BY KING EDWARD;

stone, who has act spoken in public for three years, was one of the

Admiral Lord Fisher of Nilver-

speakers at a luncheon recently at the Savoy Hotel, when Mr. Josephus Daniels was the guest of the Ameri can Luncheon Club.

cn-

Lord Fisher, who had an thusiastic reception, said they could not expect him to parallel the two orators, who had preceded him, the American Ambassador, Mr. Davies, and Mr. Josephus. Daniels, the Secretary of the Navy. An American. citizen learned to address his country- men as soon as he was weaned. (Laughter.) Therefore, they were out of it altogether. But there was 2 marvellous Scripture: "Out of the abundance sentence in Holy

of the heart, the mouth speaketh."

of the Admiralty over there"- Claughter) proceeded Lord Fisher, talked to you a great deal about the League of Nations. I think that it would be pleasant to you if I were j to tell you all about America. I was) there one week. He has been over here one week. (Laughter and cheers). I went over there for one week because my only son married the only daughter of a great Phila- f.delphian. I think on account of that union of hearts you ought to have selected me as Ambassador to Washington, but I am too young -Caughter and the interesting thing is only the young can get to Heaven. (Laughter) To get to Heaven you must be as a little child, and therefore the simple sailor has no chance."

A STORY OF KING EDWARD.

you

King Edward, who was a very kind friend to me-in fact, he was my only friend at one time-(cheers) said, "Do you know you are the best hated man in the British Empire?" I said, "Yes, perhaps I am" He said, "Do you know that I am the only friend' Bare got?" I said, "Perhaps yuuz Majesty 15 right, bu you have backed a winner." (Cheers.) When afterwards I came out on top-1 said to him, "Do you remember 1 said you had backed a winner. Well, you did and the betting was a thousand to one." (Laughter.)

ENTERTAINING AN ADMIRAL.

His lordship greatly amused the company by recounting an experience of his when travelling in America. | On arriving at his hotel he found his bag in his room addressed "Mr. Lord Fisher."

"I was Once," said Lord Fisher, "entertained by the American Admiral. A very fine fellow he was. I proposed prosperity to the United States, and I turned on as much bot air as I could, but the beggar never| said a word. (Laughter.)

'Presently one of his officers went up and whispered something. I sent the port round, and they Admiral then got up and made the best speech I ever heard. He said: It was a damned fine old her that was hatched the American Eagle." (Laughter.)

Mr. Daniels, acknowledging the toast of his health, said that two of; the fastest American cruisers built in the war were named the Kalk and the Ingram, after two youthful heroes, whose spirit would confer lasting distinction on the American navy. One was a graduate of the Naval Academy of Annapolis and the

other "a graduate of the university known as the "lower deck." When the Jacob Jones was torpedoed, two officers and 64 men lost their lives.

. GAME TO THE LAST, "He was game to the last, was the report made by the men of the spirit of Lieutenant S. F. Kaik, one of the class of 1916. During the early part of the evening, though in a weakened condition, this gallant young officer, through the chilly waters, swam from one raft to an Other in his efforts to distribute the weight and make safe the men who were awaiting rescue.

The deed of Osmond R. Ingram, of the Cassin, ranked with those that gave splendour to our humanity.. Seeing a torpedo coming towards the stern of the ship, where Eis gun was located, he ran aft and threw the depth charges into the sea before the missile struck. The ship was hit, and Ingram was the only man who did not answer the roll-call. GERMAN FLEET'S RIGHT PLACE, Referring to his visit to Scapa. Mr. Daniels described the German feet; as lying there quietly, unobtrusively, and helplessly. A coloured man who came over with him was asked by Sir Roger Keyes what he thought of the German fleet.

"Well, Sir Roger," said the man. "it appears to me there, are some mighty good ships in the fleet, and they are exactly where they ought to be." (Laughter and cheers.)

A score of years hence, when the

League of Nations had given us a warless world, what, sald Mr. Daniels, would be, the unavailing regret of any..man privileged to give it his support, who put himself on record against this vitalising document of manifest destiny 7
