NAVAL HELP FROM AMERICA SIR E CARSON AND SEA CHIVALRY

Sir Edward Carson was the chief speaker at a luncheon given at Prince's Restaurant on May 17th by the Navy Longue to the chairman and committee of the Navy League of the United States. The gathering was representative of the British Parliament, and Navy and soveral American naval officers were among the guests.

How far reaching the step which the American nation through their Presid ent and Congress, has taken may be it will be impossible to foresee, but what is being done now I believe will be a link that will weld together for all future time in love and arity the United States and the great British Empire (Cheers.))
