At a banquet at the French Embassy in the evening, the political societies organised a great public demonstration in honour of the Entente. The most cordial toasts were exchanged.

Briand addressed the gathering in the Grand HoteD Their enemies' greatest strength, he said, had lain in their remarkable system of transportation, which permitted a rapid concentration of huge forces at any point on any front.
