Mindanao In Macao
Macao, May 20. Commanded by Lieut. Commander J. P. Clay, U.S.S, Mindanao arrived in this port yesterday morning.
The Commander and officers of the American warship were the guests of Mr. F. J. Gellion, British Vice- Consul for Macno, and Mrs. Gellion at dinner yesterday evening and were entertained by H.E. the Gover nor of Macao, Dr. A. Tamagnini Bar- bosa, to an official luncheon at Government House to-day.
The Commander of the Mindanao reciprocated the courtesies by holding buffet supper and cinema on board this evening.

In the melancholy discussions referred to above I have taken into refe consideration every implication of the result of a new World War and it is appalling to a degree.

The penalty of defeat for Great Britain is the destruction of the British Eme pire as such, the disappearance of the Royal Navy upon which our very life depends, and our reduction for all time to the position of third or fourth class Power.
