M. Jules Cambon

Among the speakers at the Annual Commencement dinner of the Alumni Association of Harvard College, June 28, were M. Jules Cambon, ambassador from France to the United States, and Major-General Wood, military governor of the Province of Santiago.

M. Cambon spoke in part as follows:—
