He stated that all Britons looked on j
\r.ierica as a friend, atul most espe-,
cially look to Virginia, which, he
said, was recognized as a daughter!
of the England of the Tudors anil '
Stuarts, He declared that Virginia
and Encland were partners in a great
and glorious past and that the pro- ?
pie of Great Britain watch what the
Commonwealth Is doing and how it is
solving the questions before it. I
Referring to the visit of liady j
Nancy Astor. Sir Auckland said that i
there was something historically I
significant that a daughter of Kug
land's old daughter snould come
back and take her place in the na
tion's assembly. "But in the words
"f one Englishman, she Is not an
American, but a Virginian." he added.
Ambassador Geddes gave a graphic
description of the frlghtfulness of
war. dwelling particularly on the
air raids on I-ondott and other cities. I
He reminded his hearers that the
world war was entirely diffei%tt
from the Russo-Japanese War. and
that the next one would see just as
great a development In new weapons, !
which means that the horrors would j
be transferred from the war theater
to the very homes of the people.
Our whole civilization, built i y skill !
and frugality of generations. wl!l
thus be wiped out, he declared.
Would llr Klrwt Slnp.
"I do not believe there Is a pos
sibility or probability of war In the
nfar future, but the future stretches
?Vut indefinitely." Sir Auckland
warned. He said that a union of
the. English-speaking nations would !
not be a guarantee of peace in Itself. I
but that the first step would be to j
secure for now atui the future frank- i
; ness and openness, colored by the I
( friendship and sympathy that now i
, rule between Britain an i America,
j Ambassador Geddes warned
' against those whose purpose seems
j to be to sow the seeds of distrust j
! and suspicion. He said that scarce- ,
! ly a day went by that did not s?e j
some carefully phrased attack on the i
sincerity of the two big Eng'ish- j
speaking nations While, he ud- ,
mitted tho majority of the people ]
would not be fooled, there is always j
an audience for such enemies.
"World peace will continue lndefl-i
nitely." said Sir Auckland, "but it
will be a negative peace in our time, !
but what we want is a peace of all i
time that will bind together great
industrial and scientific nations uid ?
which will enable men to take. their
minds off problems which have
pressed so on the minds of states
men of Europe and other countries.
IMend* for World I'rnre.
Sir Auckland called on every man
and w-if.ian to exert his or her in- j
fltien e to bring about world peace,
and as an example of what public
opinion could do. he c'ted the recent
disarmament conference.
"The whole mind of nations ex-j
pressing Itself .should lead to greater ^
friendship among all peoples,'' he ?
concluded.

1 Amendment of Law ? Toll
Bridge Project Favored.
While tho proposed ordinnnco re
quiring contractors an<l builders to
give bond and secure special permits
! 10 place material In the streets will
I not be recommended by th; special
committee on streets named to in
vestigate the proposition, the exist
ing ordinance regulating the obstruc
tion of streets by material during
construction will l.e amended, so that
but one-third of the street may be
occupied by builders, instead of one
half as at present, arid a fine of $10
for the first violation w ill be im
posed. with a fine of from $25 to ?50
for all other violations The police
w ill be requested to enforce all the
ordinances in reference to tho ob
struction of streets and alleys.
This conclusion was reached at a
meeting of the committee last night.
,ind a unanimous report to that effee".
will lie recommended to the Streets*
(?ornmittee at its regular meeting Mon
day afternoon.
The committee will also report
favorably on the toll bridge project,
although Alderman Kpps will oppose
the placing of the northern abutment
at Byrd Park. The matter was fully
discussed last night. lioth Council
man Moore, chairman of the commit
tee, and Councilman Sullivan, the
other member, while opposed to toll
bridges generally, thought that this
should be an exception, inasmuch as i
the bridge is to be built by private j
enterprise and conducted by the same i
interest, could be taken over at any
time by th?> city and transformed)
into a free bridge.
K. T. I>. Myers. Jr. and Jonlithar
Bryan, the proponents of tho project,
seek to secure i ermission from Coun
cil to erect the bridge from a point
in Chesterfield County about one
m!l? above Forest Hill to a point
near the eastern edge of Byrd Park.
The city is to grant such permission
and at some time In the future may
take over the bridge at cost.

Noticeable Increase tn iNnin
ljer o'* Persons W ho Will
Accommodatc Veterans
There was a noticeable increase
yesterday In : the number of re
sponse* front hospitable Richmond
people wlio arc willing to throw
open their homes June 20 to 22 in
order comfortably to accommodate
one or moro Confederate veterans
who will be here foi their annual
reunion. However. Major It. 13. Mor
K.iii, chairman of the lnforinalit/n
ami Ijuarters' Committee, declurcd I
that the number of responses being
received to the appeal for lodgings
for the olii soldiers had by no means
reached such i>r .portions as to
justify the thought that every
vi>i> ran coining to Klehtnoml would
| be certain of a comfortable bed.
Nevertheless, Major Morgan was
| gratified over the increase in tin*
number of answers to the appeal,
and expressed his conildenee that the
i;enerous?splrited people of this city,
through a motive of rendering a
{patriotic service Instead of pro lit Ing.
w ill coine forward wiiii tl?o tender or
accommodations for one or moro of
the old soldiers.
Others in cha>?<; of plans f'>r the,
reunion hold to the belief that tnr ty
families who ordinarily would not
think of opening their homes to pay
guests, will make an ? xception in
this case and do so. In instances
where veterans cannot pay for their
accomnn". datlons, the cost will be
defrayed by the local committee.
It is Imperative that the. veterans
l>r comfor taT>ly lodged, as most of
11,, m are too old in be made com
fortable on cots In tents or bar
racks. However, unless Itlchmond
ilers open wide their hearts and
homes, these gray-coats will b? com
pelled to rest on uncomfortable cots
in restricted quarters at the Sol
diers' Home or State Fair Grounds.
Major Morgan asks that all who]
can do so communicate with him at
once by filling in. clipping out and
mailing to him. at the address In
dicated. the coupon appearing In The
: Times-Dispatch today.
