Uarl Grey, In outlining the scheme, said he could not forget that he was speaking at a moment when difficulties had arisen in respect to the Interpretation of an Anglo-American treaty, but his experience In America had taught hlii "to know Americans too well not to have Implicit confidence in their sense of national honor and fairness, and In their desire to fettle each question as it arises with the same regard for the rights of others that we claim to accord ourselves," He pointed out that the proposal to erect monuments in England, America and the British colonies to commemorate the centenary had met with the approval of the British committee, and ho thought that the other three proposals mentioned were worty of adoption. Emtio Braun, burgomaster of Ghent, announced that the municipality of that city Intended to assist In the celebration by restoring the room in which the Anglo American treaty was signed to its origi nal stato, and by holding a banquet in tho same room in which the peace dele gates had dined, which as far as possible would be a repetition of that held 100 years ago.
