BRITISH LEGION.

LONDON’, June 4. Farl Ilaig presided at the conference of the British Legion of Ex-servicemen. Representatives of French and Belgian combatants-’ unions attended to convey fraternal greetings and were enthusiastically received. The French representatives, speaking with emotion, said that the brotherhood of France and England was sealed in blood on the battlefield. The French people would not forget the magnificent effort of the British troops to save France. They would never forget the hours of suffering and glory they had lived together. If the living should now break their countries asunder, the dead would rise up and curse them. The respective governments must rise above exaggerations of certain sections of the press, and stop strife between the two countries.
