DUTY DETERMINES DESTINY President McKinley's Significant Remarks at Peace Jubilee Banquet, He Responds to the Toast “Our Coun- try” at the Chicago Auditor- lum Last Night. President McKinley attended a banquet at the Auditorium in Chicago last night, responding to the toast “Our Country.” The banquet was part of the program for the ceremonies attending the peace jubilee in that city. e dispatch describing the banquet says: Mr. McKinley was seated at the right hand of Toastmaster MacVeagh, the others at the presidential table being Secretary Gage.

Accepting war for humanity's sake,we must accept all obligations which the war in duty and honor imposed upon us.
