...thanks or flattery, nor try to add to what he has already said. With a graceful gesture he turns over the complete proceeds of his lectures to a fund which is being raised "for sending American boys to France, and bringing our students here". A gift ends his tour of America-a gift which strikes a note of sincerity characteristic of the man, and which adds more to his plea for closer relations between the two countries than a hundred lectures could have done.
