Maude Wood Park, nntimuil rn'ilrmni

Cyrus H. K. Curti presided nt the
dinner, He Is president of tho New
England Society of IVmimjIwiiiIu. The
hotel ballroom was (decorated with
evorgreens, Hlgnlficunr of ('luixtinnNiinii
recalling the fragrance of the pine
woods of Maine.
The ItritUli and the American peo
ples. Sir Auckland Oi-dde cald, must
work together in nympatli. and close
underntiuidlng to mivc the lowering
structure of civilization from collapse.
"That civilization," ho declared, "Is
menaced, even today, from within nnd
without. I bee of you hold fust, hold
firm, hold together. If you of old l!iitf
llfih stock were to falter, the ruin thnt
has overtaken ItiiBsia would be jours
and ours as well."
In tho present emergency, he contin
ued, France Is the only other nation
that could have helped.
I "But Franco Is spent nnd weary,"
tin nmbaKxador added, his voicn Hoft-
onil.g, "and u generation of her men
have died to piotect her, it is hue. but
ulno the civilization of our two
natlotit."
Throughout hit add rein the ninlitiKin
dor dwelt whimsically on his own
Scotch ancestry and fiom that humor
ously assumed innlngi1 point spoke In
detached fashion of both the English
ami the American people-".
For tile ptllpose o the moment he
coined a new word to decline the peo
ple of Fngllsh stock, vthethci Ameri
can or Hritish whose niicctrnl loots
were nourished b. Britons, Uomuns and
NoiRemen. The "Jfritronoids" was the
word ho coined.
One ot the deplorable traits of the
"Brltronords," he said, was that they
frequently allowed ntlur peoples to boss
them, IntelleitunlK. urtlHtiwillv and
politically. This trait, lie assumed, was
perhaps due to Inlii'ii nt niolt'ht, but
more probably to lnmcs.
"Only six short jeurs ngo," he wild,
"you allowed (ionium science and art
to Influence your schools and jour na
tional life J would lecomiiiMld to J our
earnest xfltnlmitlon the question : 'Is
any ono bossing jou now'' "
General Pershing, the next speaker,
told a humorous story which gained
heortv nnd general lnughter. Mrs.
Park's topic was "Woman's New
Venture," (mil she discussed the part
women are to piny in politics.
Airs. Uinchart's address was u hu
morous outline of several ulleged
Hpeeches she had piep'ired for the oc
casion. Hoars of laughter greeted her
remuiks.
