may be systematic and efforts con-
centrated The district nurse idea
was also highly praised and the sue

INJURY
To Mans Thumb May Cause
LOCk-JaW

Tetanus is feared in the case of
Oliver Cline, an employee on the
Stewart Silliman farm, two miles
south of Fredericktown on the Mt.
Vernon road, as the result of an ac-
cident he sustained on Labor Day.
Cline had been up in the hay-mow
of the Silliman barn, when his foot
slipped and he started to slide down
through the opening. The fall was not
great, but Cline attempted to break
the shock by throwing his hands for
ward. The shock was broken, but
Cline's left thumb came in contact
with rusty nail and the force of his
fall drove the nail in the fieshy part
of the thumb about an half inch.
DIR. w. II. Eastman of Frederick
town was called and the wound
dressed. Indications are that lock-
jaw has set in, though this cannot
definitely be determined as yet.

Senator Chamberlain Deliv-
ers TRADE Against
Ambassador
AFTER READING
COMPLETE SPEECH
London Bankers Think Def
milton Of Monroe Doc
trine Clearer

Washington, March l6.-After reading
what purported to be a cabled verbatim
report of Ambassador Pages speech at
the dinner of the Associated Chambers
of Commerce in London Wednesday
night. Senator Chamberlain of Oregon
said he had not modified his views as
to the improperly of the speech. SEN
ator Chamberlain is the author of the
resolution adopted by the Senate last
week, calling on the state department
for copy of the address made by Am
bassador Page.
Some means ought to be found by
the powers that be to seal the lips OF
the ambassador to Great Britain, Sid
Senator Chamberlain, "or he ought to
be recalled as quickly as possible. This
is the second time in less than year
that he has been guilty of an impro-
priety by placing the American people
in false light before the British public.
@The latest reports of the speech do
not differ from the first reports as to
the utteranees against which | COM
planned. Ambassador Page in that
speech reflected the views OF American
people in only one particular, and that
was when he said that we rejoice in the
prosperity of the British empire. He
might have added that we rejoice in the
prosperity of any country, but he offends
against good taste and puts American
people in false light when he under
takes to announce a new Monroe doctrine
and to outline a new policy as to the
Panama canal.
when he says that the construction
of the Panama canal was for the greater
benefit of Great Britain, he misstates
the case. The canal was built in ae-
cordance with an American policy for
the benefit Of tho entire world, it is true,
and in the interest of civilization, but
primarily for American interests.
Il think I may say with absolute
truth that if Congress had believed be-
fore it authorized the canal construction
that the United States would not have
the right to control the canal in any
way it saw fit and to grant free tolls
to eoastwise vessels of this country, if
we regarded it as proper policy, not
a dollar would have been appropriated
for its construction"

have assisted many in need. The future
holds for me an opportunity to bring
some peace and happiness to my aged
mother, who in these eight years has
known none and who has spent her dc.
clining years in untold sorrow.
MY adversary now seeks to place me
in Matteawan--a living hell--to there
spend the rest of my life, to never again
take my place in my mothers home in
her remaining years, and in respectful
confidence / now appeal to the citizens
of New York in the power of their SOW

therefore, ask that all people who believe
that have suffered years of punishment

London Financiers Pleased.

London, March l6-~Financiers here
express appreciation of Mr. Pages eluci-
dation of the policy of the American
government as not being opposed to le-
climate foreign investments in Central
America, although strongly opposed to
anything which carried potential control
of one of these governments. There had
been an impression here that the Wash
ington government desired to stall off
any and every foreign investment in
these regions, with view of favoring
American capital.
OF course, the objection remains that
such intimations hardly come within the
scope of post.prandial speeches by an
ambassador. Indeed it is possible to
say that Mr.. Page himself recognizes
his error
The Pail Mall Gazette thinks that I'M
der the circumstances Mr.. Page will
probably conclude, despite Senator Cham
berlain's resolution, that the courtesy of
humor is still permitted to an ambas-
sador.
