Alban Oibbs and Sir Henry TCd tnund Kn'.ght.t F. C. Vunduzer. chairman of the Amer ican Society In England, presided. The great hall was unadorned except for au American earj, backed up by monster American and British flags above the seat of the chairman. The scene was particu larly brilliant because of the presence of so many women. The band played American airs and concluded its program with "God Save the King" and "The Star Spangled Banner." Mr. Vanduzer proposed a toast to King Edward. Mr lemleux. In an Eloquent speech, proposed "The President of tho i United States.". j Ho sold: Every true Anericun must feel It an! honor to be goverr.ed by a man whose name and fame, not only iwlong to his own coun- . try, but to humarlty itself and to whom the peace of Purlmouth Is a monument I which oomlng gjaA""ions will resneet and rvi tur JtiMumph of an !

If they ! the American engle flap- ' Ing the evening he hoped , better of the bird on I at the same time under- that account am stand that the Americans present were fully awn re that the British Hon was carrying on business at tho same old stand." After defending the use of the term "America," as applied to the Cnitcd States, quoting from Pitt, Fox, Burke and Daniel Webster, who so ued It, thus absolving the present generation from the charge of undue assumption, Mr. Reld said that the thought uppermost In the minds of Amerl- j cans, who everywhere were celebrating the festival, was pride In America, pride in Its prosperity at home and In Its renown abroad, profound gratitude for the blessings of peace, gratitude that It bad pleased Providence that America should be helpful In bringing peace to others, and above all gratitude that there was now no cloud at the horlxon and that America had not an enemy In the world Mr. Reld paid a tribute to President Roosevelt. He said that the pride of Amer icana In the president waa not the prldo of party, but cf the patriotism In all parties, because the mutations of policies had brought to the front and kept In the '. front such a type of American as was now known to tho world as "Theodore Roose velt." Concluding with a fine peroration, tho am bassador said: It is a goodly land that the Lord, our Ood. has given us. Thus far have we come with the hand of our God upon us. Such were tho pious phrases which on these occasions our fathers were wont to use.

Kiysnnliin I nilrr Freedom. And thus It happened that the Jewish Immigrants who eie driven to our colo nies by reiUtous persecution, and their de scendants, iiave, unucr the kindly influence of toleration and eiiuully, co-operated in nation builulng with tnose of dliferent re ligious fnitns. whose ancestors or they themselves had also Sought amid hard and Inhospitable surroundings freedom to wor snip Uod. Jewisn patriotism, wnlcn had been for centuries submerged and amoUi ered In homeless wanderings and nation less existence. In the more cheerful light and warmth of a safe ab:?!n: place, spiung up and flourished.- It has been said: "If you persecute you mirke slaves; only by dictating equal tUhts for all will you make good cltixeus." The rule that equality In rlgnt is essentia to good citizenship has never been better supported than by the result of according euual rights to the Jews who found a home on the soli of the I nited States. I do not overlook the fact that the full enjoyment by the Jews of .ellglous and Industrial freedom was no! without re straint or limitation at the time of their first arrival. Nor am 1 In the least Inclined to claim that Jewish characteristics or the Jewish religion ure. or ver huve been, absolutely preventive of bad men and bad citizens. It cannot be denied, how ever, that with even the 'limited equality of rights at first accorded to the Jews by the American colonists their loyalty and effective patriotism when needed were not wanting. Impress on America. , We have today only to look about us to discover that In every phase of present American enterurise and effort, the Jews of the United States, with unrestricted tol eration and equality, ate making their im press more and more deep and permanent upon our citizenship. They accumulate wealth without exhibiting or encouraging harmful extravagance and business reck lessness. They esecially care for their poor, but they do It sensibly and In a way that avoids pauper-making. Cm every side are seen monuments of their- charitable work and evidences of their determination to furnish their children and youth equip ment for usefulness and self-support. It is not among them that dangerous discon tent and violent demonstrations against peaco and order are hatched and fostered. There may be something of separateness in their social life among us; but this should be naturally expected among those who are not altogether flee from the disposition born of persecution li nd the loss of nation ality, to seek In a vninon devotion o their peculiar religious creed the strongest bond of their social fellowships. And yet. with It all, they are by no means laggard In the civic duty and the work In behalf of tho general welfare of the state which are the badges of good citizenship. It Is time for the unreserved acknowl edgement that the toleration and equal op portunity accorded to the Jews of the I'nitrd States have been abundantly repaid to us. And In making up the accounts, let us not omit to put to their credit the occa sion presented to us through our concession to them of toleration and equality of strengthening by wholesome exercise the spirit of broad-minded Justice and consid eration, which, as long as we are true to ourselves, we must Inflexibly pronounce as the distinguishing and saving trait of our nationality. No Place for Prejudice. I know that human prejudice especially that growing out of race or re.igion is cruelly inveterate arid lasting. But wher ever in the world prejudice against the Jews still exists, there can be no place for It among the people of the I'nited States, unless they are heedless of good faith, rec reant to the underlying principles of their free government and insensible to every pledge Involved In our boasted equality or citizenship. Roger Williams, the pioneer of religious liberty In America expressed the fear, long before the I'nile $tates became a nation, that England ant the other nations had a score to pay to the Jews, and he added these words: "1 desire not the liberty to myself which I would not freely and Im partially weigh out to all the consciences of the world beside." Our nation will have no score to pay to the Jews. As a people we shall never suffer the humiliation of appealing to them for favors with the shamefaced ness of intolerance unforgotten and unfurgiven. The Jews of the' United States have become our fellow-c'Msens and. like us, have at heart c-ie ptsperity and safety of our common country, forasmuch as we have desired not that llbery to our selves which we would not freely and Im partially weigh out to all the consciences of the world lieslde. After all. it comes to this. We celebrate an event in the history of our country fraught with important results deeplv con cerning us all as citizens of the t'nited States. In the spirit of true Americanism let us all rejoice in the good which the set tlement we commemorate has brought to tho nation in which we all find safely and protection: and, uninterrupted by differ ences In religious talth, let is. under the guidance of the Genius of Toleration and Equality, here consecrate ourselves more fully than ever to united and devoted lubor In the field of our common ration's ad vancement and exaltation.

I make an exception In this case be cause the lamentable and terrible sufferings to which so many of the Jewish people In other lands have been subjected makes me feel It my duty as the head of the Amer ican people not only to express my deep sympathy for them, as I now do. but "it the same time to point out what flne quali ties of citizenship have been displayed bv the men of Jewish faith and race, who. having come to this country, enjoy th" lieneflts of free institutions and equal treatment before the law. I feel very strongly that If any people are oppressed anywhere the wrong Inevitably reacts In tho end on those who oppress them: for It Is. an Immutable law In the spiritual world that no one can wrong others and yet In t lie end himself escape unhurt. The reparation of the L'.Vith anniversary of the settlement of the Jews In the 1'ntted States properly emphasizes a series of his- i tnrical facts of more than merely national slirnlncanre. Even In our colonial period the Jews participated In the unbuilding of this countrv, acquired Citizenship and took an active nart In the development of for eign and domestic commerce. During the ! revolutionary period they aided the cause of liberty by serving In 'he continental army and bv substantial contributions to the empty treasury of the republic. During the civil war thousands served In the srmles and mingled their blood with the soil for which they, foueht. I am glad to he able to any, In addressing you on this occasion, that while the Jews of the l'nlt"d States who number more than l.ano.oio, have remained loyal to their faith and their race traditions: they have become lndis snlubly incorporated In the great army of American citizenship, prepared to make all sacrifice for the country, either In war or peace, and striving for the perpetuation of good government and for the maintenance or the principles embodied in our constitu tion. Thev are hnnnrablv dlstlneulshed bv their Industry, their obdlence to law and their devotion to the national welfare. They are engaged In generous rivalry with their fellow citizens of other denominations In advancing the Interests of our common countrv. This Is true not only of the de scendants of tho early settlers and those of American birth, but of a great and con stantly. Increasing proportion of those who have come to our shores within the last twentvMive veara as refugees reduced to , tha .Ureal a'tralts nf rvennrv and misery. ' All, Americans may well lie proud of the extraordinary Illustration of the wisdom and streneth of our governmental system thus afforded. In a few years, men and women, hitherto utterlv unaccustomed to anv of the privileges of citizenship, have moved mightllv unward toward the stand ard of loyal self-respecting American citi zenship: of that clt'renslilp -vhlch rtot nierelv Insists upon Its rights, but also eaeriv recognizes Its duty to do Its full share in the mnteiial. social and moral ad vancement of the nation. With all good wishes, believe me, sin cerely yours. TJIEOnoR,. Hon,PvF.,.T. Jacob H. Pehlff. Eq..

The event Is orie which we may all take pleasure In observing with appropriate cer-einoni-s, for the Jewish people have con- Minuted -and are contributing mur iuii measure to our national growth and strength. They are enamored of our In stitutions and are a part of that . loyal. Intelligent, conservative citizenship which constitutes tho Htay .and support of the great republic. " Our hearts are filled-with gratitude In, thla- hour -of national thanks giving that Jew and Gentile enjoy abso. lute political equality and dwell together In aniltv and good fellowship throughout the limits of tho United States.

I entertain the confident hope that the Jews in America may continue to enjoy the fullest possible measure of prosperity and happiness and that free dom In our common country mav forever contlne to bless Imth Jew and Oentlle. Mayor Modellan'a Address. Mayor McClellan. Governor Hlgglns, Mr. Sulzberger and Dr. Mcndes each spoke words of congratulation and told of various phases of the Jews' progress In America. Mayor -McClellan said In the course of his nddress thnt he did not Bharo the fear of those who foe that If the enormous Immi gration of non-Englli-h speaking peoples Is continued It will menace the Institutions of this country. The United Btates, he declared, needs a vastly greater population and can easily support half a billion people properly dis tributed. . . "There" are' two duties," the mayor said, "which we owe the incoming Immigrants. One is a' duty which cannot be performed by a government without socialism, and that has no place In American Institutions. It is the duty of trying to prevent conges tion in the Juhnr market or trying to dis tribute the Incoming immlgrints where they are needed, and not permitting them to remain where the labor market N glutted. This Is a duty which should be undertaken by every citizen of tills country, for It ap peals to every one of us. "The other duty is one which the govern ment mu( undertake, it is the duty of education. Something can be done with the older Immigrants by education; every thing can be done with the young genera tion, with the children." ! Keller Ksad Growlua.
