The people of New Zealand are a live people and judging from "hat they did in the world war it seems that when they have started oft' to do something, nothing is going to stop them. We are leaving with ineffaceable memories of kindness and courtesies in common with the hospitality of their Excellencies, Lord and Lady Jellicoe. Their many kindnesses and courtesies, in common with the hospitality of your Government and people, call for more eloquence than the American Governor of Samoa commands.”
