BritiSher Declares in An Article That Wilson Has Put Nation at
 Diplomatic Head.
MOST SAGlClOUS MAN
When European War Is Ended All Eyes Will Turn to the West
 for Advice.

LONDON. Nov. 23.-" When Europe emerges from the present struggle the balance of the hemisphere will have been fundamentally changed in favor of the western. ana the United States will have an authority in the affairs of the world, which it never had before. and which. even if it had had, it's historic policy would not have permitted it to exercise.
 This declaration is contained in a feature article in the Daily News, written by Alfred G. Gardiner, edi' tor of the newspaper who, in em- phasizmg the indebtedness of the Entente Allies 10 the United States in the matter of munitions, says:
 We rejoice in the election of the most sagacious statesman American politics has thrown up since Lincoln If we had reason to be thankful that Mr. Wilson was elected in 1912, there is still more reason to be thank ful that Mr. Wilson was reelected m ItlD. lL lo liN biAN iti"tHFN'N't"'N gleam of light in the dark future that lies before the world.
 "It is to do something uobler than the building of a higher tariff wall for the American plutocracy that he comes back to power. It is to es- tablish a society of nations and to change the whole doctrine of force in the world
 He can not eliminate force, but it is in his power and the power of the American nation to make force grind the wheels of peace instead of the wheels of war. This will not be wei comed by the militarists of many coun tries; it will be treated as mere day dream by those who believe war an indestructable characteristic Of human society But it will have the passionate support of the common people of all lands, and 1t is the only hope of democracys winning an enduring victory over despotism."

Two Thousand a Day


 Three hundred thousand male Bel gians above the age of IT are af- fected by the "employment' orders from Berlin. So fer at least 45,OOO of these have been transported from their homes to Germany, that they may be given employment accord ing 10 the German explanation. The transfers are taking place at the rate of two thousand a day.
 Information today received via Holland asserts pleas avail nothing and that in several instances more than unusually forciblc, German conn manders ruthlessly enforced their or ders and in addition imposed further tax burdens as an example 10 those who opposed the military machine. The town of Tournal. i; was declar- ed. had been fined two hundred thousand marks ($5O.OOW. for "arro. gance without precedent, in thus opposing the employment orders.

WAR IS BLAMED FOR
 SHORTAGE OF RAZORS
Importing Houses Unable to Secure IsaZOrs of German Steel and Van
 Dykes May Return.

Not satisfied with denying the men of this country their allotment of imported German beer the present European conflict may cause them to go unshaved. All tonsorial experts prefer to use a razor of the German steel blade, because of the superior tempering of that instrument.
 Yesterday a we'll known barber journeyed to Hartford to replenish his supply of razors at a wholesale house. He was informed that the concern had only American stock and had no prospects of securing any more German stock. Tn former times the English razor was considered the best but with rapid strides, the Ger mans have improved on the article, so that at present all first class barbers use the latter.
 What the outcome may be is not known at present and it is possible the male population may have to return to the days of the Van Dyke and the full beard.
