We note with very great pleasure that the honour and

recognition he deserves in so high a - degree were paid to Sir Auckland Geddes, the British Ambassador at Washington, at a dinner of that excellent institution the English-Speaking Union, held on Wednesday. We wish we could summarize the Lord Chancellor's able and eloquent appreciation of the Ambassador's services. His panegyric is one which we endorse in the most wholehearted way. Other guests and warm supporters of the good understanding between the two halves of the English-speaking race were Mr. Otto Kahn, the dis- tinguished banker, and Mr. Cyrus Curtis, one of the greatest and most responsible American newspaper proprietors and publicists.
