HUNDRED YEARS OF PEACE.
ENGLAND AND AMERICA. OBJECT LESSON TO WORLD. NEW YORK. December 14. Mr. James Bryce, British Ambassador fo the United States, was entertained at a banquet in connection with the proposed celebration of the centenary of peace between Great Britain and the United States. He said it would be better to celebrate the wisdom whereby wars were ended than the want of skill and wisdom whereby wars were made possible. Mr. Bryce said he had nothing whatever to do with Canadian reciprocity except as a mere intermediary. The questions involved were entirely for the United States and the Canadian Governments to settle. Canada's refusal to enter into an agreement was not a mark of unfriendliness, but merely showed that she considered the bargain not sufficiently good. All the nations, said Mr. Bryce. ought to be involved in the proposed celebration in order that it might be an object lesson to the world.
