president as the center of the
storm.
HE has been the one sane and
serene spirit which will redeem
this age; and when the election
comes, it will be found that the
people of America, whatever their
sympathies in the European
struggle, realize that the one in
dispensable exponent of the
mind, the friendliness and the
ideals of America in the re-
marking of the old order in the
old world, is the finest type pro-
duced in this age by the new Or
der in the new world-Woodrow
Wilson"
The republicans, Baker said,
are hopelessly divided.
The party is again sub-divided
into those who think the foreign
policy has been too peace-loving,"
he continued. "And then there
is lucid group" he added, lied
by the great detractor, who, shift
ing from position to position, Sc
lects at each time apparently
whatever vantage point seems to
offer an opportunity for making
difficult the position of the presi-
dent and congress.
Motives Are Selfish.
"The motive of this group
seems to be critical rather than
constructive, and guided by self
ish ambition, it ignores consist
ency and duty alike, agitating
that we should stay out when the
tension of events seems likely to
draw us in, and that we should go
i'm when such recognitions of our
rights have been secured as en-
able us with dignity and honor
to stay out"
Baker gave the democrats a
clean bill of health in the pre-
paredness matter.
Reviewing the Mexican situa-
ton, he said:
II cannot tell what the future
may bring forth In this situation.
but for~my part l shall be most
happy IL the necessary security
of our people can be obtained
without the killing of another
Mexican man, woman or child by
American arms"

COLUMBUS, O., June Sec
rotary of War Baker, in what was
regarded as an indication of the
trend of the democratic national
platform, this afternoon gave the
democratic party a clean bill of
health in past, present and pros
pective legislation and policies, in
his keynote speech at the Ohio
state convention.
A united democratic party,
backed by four years of accom-
plishment eliminating in the sue
cessful submarine negotiations
and faced by a foe divided into
three sections-the tariff men,
the forces of "The Great De-
tractor" and peace at any price

He mentioned Ford as the
chosen temporary leader of the
peace men. He didn't mention
any other politicians by name;
and he saved his praise for the

In October, 1914, Sir Ernest started on the great
est of all Polar adventures daring dash across the
length of the South Polar continent.
He and his party were due at the Pole last Christ
mas day. They should have reached civilization IN
March 1916 but nothing had been heard from the
explorer until the cable came today from the Fak-
land Islands.
No explorer could have a drawer wife than Lady
Shackleton. Tall and slight with fine face framed

shine with unshed tears they look toward the map
of the Antarctic that hangs on the wall of her home,
she presents picture of patA5it courage.
