MR ROOSEVELT'S ACKNOWLEDGNENT.
MENT. SYDNEY, August 24. President Roosevelt replied to the above message in the following terms :—: — I desire to express to the GovernorGeneral and Government, and. through them to the entire people of the mighty Commonwealth of Australia^ the appreciation which the American people fee! for their generous hospitality to the American fleet- The people of this Republic hold in peculiar esteem an/1 admiration the people of Australia, arid it was a very real pleasure for me, on behalf of the nation, to accept ths generous hospitality proffered by Australia to the fleet on its voyage of peace. The American navy is a menace to no Power, but, on the contrary, it is, as we believe, an asset of h%h importance in securing peace and jiietice throughout the world.
