credit to the best hotel on the con-
tinent and Just such a feast as the
Davies oarrprovide whenever it sets

in pleasant- socfability while all the
after-dinner speeches breathed pa-N
triotism. loy;s`lty.and unbounded op-
timism witlir the quiet characteristf-I
cally Scottish determination to stick!
to it at whatever cost till British and_
allied arms are .crowned with suc-
cess. ,
