RAPS ON WILSON
Halifax, N. S., July 28. Failure
of the United States to assume some
of the responsibilities which its trium
phant entry into the war imposed upor
that country, is largely responsible
? iJ U 1 ...?
ror me continued unsettieaness
throughout the world, Robert Donald
Chairman of the Imperial Press Union
and one of the foremost newspapei
men in Great Britain, declared here today
in an address at a civic luncheon
given the Imperial Press conference
delegates.
"The two branches of the English
speaking people" he said, "Acting tpgether
harmoniously in peace as thej
did in the latter period of the wai
could have reconciled or silenced the
clashing interest of Europe; led the
new democratic states, carved out ol
old tyrannical empires, gently bul
firmly into the ftiths of peace, and established
on a sure and lasting
foundation, the league of nations
Then indeed, the world would have
been safe for democracy. Let us hope
that the lapse is only temporary.
"Two years ago President Wilsor
was the inspiring moral force of Democracy.
He rose to a pinnacle ol
greatness unequaled by the head ol
any state. The hopes of humanitj
were centered upon him. Mr. Wilson's
failure, the reason and cause I will nol
discuss?to live up to his lofty prin
ciples and his noble ideas chilled th<
hearts of millions, who had put theii
faith in him and worshipped him
They look with real sorrow upon th<
pioral lapse of America as one ol
the tragedies of histry."
STREET CAR RUNS WILD
Worcester, Mass., July 28.?Failure
of the air control on a street cai
here to function properly today caused

brought under control by Mrs. Bertha
Viella, who with her three small
children were the only passengers.
The motorman gave chase in ar
automobile jumped from the machint
into the car and brought it to a full
stop.
The car attained the rate of 5C
miles an hour during its mad dash
down the hill and passed several bad
curves. ^

? mis is me nrst home in soutn
' Carolina devoted exclusively to the
f motherless child, and the fact that it
t takes infants only a day old, is a very
strong feature of the management.
