NEW. AMBASSADOR TO U. S, SPEAKS AT THE AMERICAN CLUB

MRS. ASTOR HELPS JACKIES WASH DISHES t AT OPENING OF ARMY AND NAVY CLUBHOUSE

(By Associated Press) i LONDON, March 12. Sir Auckland Geddes, the newly appointed ambassador to the United States, made his 'first speech today since his appointment was announced, addressing a large gathering In his honor at the American Luncheon club. The American ambassador, John W. Davis, presided at the luncheon and introduced 'the British ambassador, who was warmly received. While avoiding political topics, Sir Auckland spoke of the characteristics of the American and English people,

and ' the essentials binding them together. Referring to the phrases, '"Our American Cousins," and "blood

is thicker than water," the ambassa

dor said he felt at first that he was

'dealing with a great civilization which eemed different from all he had met, until "the crust was broken and I 'lound myself among people I under

stand." He continued: j Recognize a Cure

1 "The cure for such ills as exist, Is,

VI am sure, frankly to recognize that

fine common language is at once a

fbond and a barrier, and to work to Strengthen its binding power and weaken its separating Influence. It Ncan be done, but it is not the work of la day or a year. I "The Englishman who saw his best jgirl off with an American soldier or wsallor is going to continue braying that he dislikes Americans, which is tEot what he really moans at all. What 'fb& really means is: I dislike seeing any girl tako any notice of another male'. j "One result of the war has been to multiply the possibilities of such individual misunderstandings. What

,Ve all want more consciously to real

ize is that nations cannot be judged

by a few chance specimens of their citizens. They must be judged by the expression of their collective will, made manifest in hours of crisis. Judge Britain by her action as a na

tion during the war, during, if you will, i

one month of the war April, 191S and I think no Briton or friend of

Britain need be ashamed of his citiLzenship or Ills friendship."

Mrs. Aator and the jackies at woefc. The Victory Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. Club was opened recently in New York, taking the place of the battery Park Victory Hut. Mrs. Vincent Astor presented the club to the service boys on behalf of the Y. M. C A. and after supper gave the boya a hand with the dishes. Judging by her smile she enjoyed the dishwashing as much as the sailors did.
