SPEAKERS REFER TO HOPES.

OF PEACE.

Anti-war speeches and the sing- ing of old army songs, marked the Armistice Day dinner of the Hongkong Ex-Active Service Men's Association, at the Hongkong Hotel last night. Departing from the custom of previous years, the dinner was only an informal one, and the gathering did not include any qficial guests.

The Association's President, Cap tain T. T. Laurenson. présided at the dinner, and he concluded his few remarks with a sincere appeal to these present to support the League of Nations, and other bodies that strove to abolish war.

Touching on matters affecting the Association, Captain Lauren- son expressed his thanks to the" British Legion for its co-opera- tion.in helping those who requir

ed aid during the past year, and also to the honorary solicitors. Messrs. Deacons, and honorary auditors, Messrs. Linstead and Davies, for all they had done in the Association's interests,

"As most of you know." remark- ed Captain Laurenson, "it has been decided to close our club. This maiter was under consideration by the committee for some months. and at the annual general meet- ng on November 6, the motion to wind up the club was carried, but not without some opposition.

"The ex-Aclive Service Men's Association will continue its work of relief as it has done hitherto, or whenever it is required. As time goes on. the number of calla for relief may become less, but our activitica must be maintained a long as some remain

"I appeal to all ex-active seri rice men, to carry on with their support to this Association, in the interests of those who may require our assistance, and were with us in the great struggle of so louz

ago."

The Silent Toast.

Mr. W. J. McKenzie proposen The Silent Toast, while the honour- ing of the Services was made by Mr. H. J. Pearce. He briefly out

hed the lighter parts of his as- sociation with the Services, and declared that whatever branch one was connected with, a great affec- tion that was almost a sneaki regard, was retained for it.

"Situated we are out here," said Mr. Pearce, the Services are always with us, and give us a great familiarity with them; but this familiarity does not breed contemnt. It breeds apprecia- tion. We must admit that the Services are essential, although, we are inclined to lose sight of that farl Although we do not have the experience here, the Inek In the Services in Hankow, and other parts, results in people hay- ing to suffer disgraceful ineon- veniences.

"It is not only from that point of view that we regard the Ser- vices, either. They appeal to us very much from the sporting side. and there is no doubt that without the Services, sport here would suf- fer a great loss."

Mr. S. H. Ross. formally pro- posed the toast of the Visitors.

Proposing the toast of the ex- Service men, Dean Swann spoke at length on the futility of war. and its horrors.

are

"These dinners should not always be a time for looking backward," he declared. "We are proud that

our duty and we have done proud to wear our medals, but what ure are medals "now? It seems to me that their only use is to qualify jene to speak on something other than war. 1 think it qualifies re to speak on peace. (Applause).

"War brings out a lot of good things in a man-courage, bravery, self sacrifice; but it also brings out a lot of things that should be kept down. Occasions such as these should be more for looking forward. We do not want another war: but looking back on all this sacrifice, it seems to me that we want to enlist all those we can for the purpose of peace."

The evening concluded, customary, with impromptu con- tributions, and a very pleasant gathering broké up at a late hour.
