TWO LEADERS.
HONORED BY LONDONERS. LORD JELLICOE AND LORD FRENCH. By Telegraph.—Press; Assn.—Copyright, Received May 18, 9.45 p.m. London, May 17. There was a crowded gathering at tlu 1 . Guildhall, when Admiral Lord Jellieoe and Field-Marshal Lord French were granted the Freedom of the City, anil presented with swords of honor. Many distinguished personages were present. Lord French, replying to the address, said the great lesson of the war was that indecision and vacillation was always disastrous. He considered Germany's cardinal mistake was her failure to seize the Channel ports. Speaking at the Mansion House luncheon after the ceremony, Lord Jellieoe said he anticipated live happy years in New Zealand, whose people he and his wife had already learned to love. Emphasising the dependence of sea communications on the British Navy and the navies of the Dominions, Lord Jellieoe' uttered a warming against allowing the strength of the Empire Navy to fade away until it became certain that the anti-war measures now being proposed would be effective.—Aus.-N.Z, Cable Assn.
