WILSON IS REBUKED
FOR LATEST SPEECH
On Dangerous Ground, London
Times Asserts,

London, May 31.-President Will
sons latest speech cannot be said t.
have made highly favorable impress
sion on Britain. Many of the princi-
pal newspapers refrain for the mo-
ment from discussing it.
"Some of Mr.. Wilson's phrases" re-
marks the Times, "are bringing him
on dangerous ground" The Daily
News and Leader approves the speech
on the whole, though suggesting that
the passage relating to the freedom
of the seas requires Qualification. No:
body likes the sentence, with the
wars causes and objects we are not
concerned" 1t is generally remark
ed that this expression does violence
to what is believed here to be the best
judgment and conscience of America
Every newspaper that comments on
the speech emphasizes the disinclina-
ton of the allies to permit any inter,
ference from outsiders to dictate
peace. All commentators underline
the point that there must be no inter
national action that hampers sea pow
er and leaves military power free.

Helen and Warren Series;
Story of Their Married Life

Anna, be sure to use that largest
platter for the roast, and don't
Helen stopped short, as her glance
fell on an awkwardly tall girl, i'll
struggling plumed hat, standing by
the kitchen window. With cold nod
she acknowledged the girls sheepish
smile.
Now, Anna, you'll have to hurry" "
sharper note in her voice. You
haven't even set the table. Have you
filled the salt cellars
I'm Just goin' to do that, ma lam,
nervously conscious of Helen's dis
approval.
With heightened color and com
pressed lips, Helen swung back
through the pantry door. This was
the third time within a week that she
had found Annals sister in the
kitchen. Even tonight when they
were having guests-she must be up,
set and irritated by this girl!
AS she dressed, she grew more pro
voked. She would not put up with it!
She was much too lenient; that was
why she was imposed upon She had
given Anna vacation and paid her
half wages the whole month they
were IN Sdndud, duu III" lAOS vi =
having to feed this sister.
Thoroughly incensed. Helen started
back to the kitchen. She would have
1t out with Anna right now. She
would tell her pointblank that she
could not have her sister when she
was preparing a company dinner.
But, as though to forestall any OBJ
jections, the girl, with her hat off,
was now grating the hard-boiled egg
for the anchovy relish.
Thwarted, Helen turned back. The
fact that she could say nothing only
added to her irritation. She did not
want this girl in the kitchen She
only confused Anna, and distracted
her from her work
When the front door banged, Helen
ran out into the hall.
Anything wrong" was Warren s
brisk greeting, as he peeled off his
coat.
Her sisters in the kitchen again
it makes me Wild" following him as
he hurried into his room to dress,
She's pretending to help-so | can't
say anything"
well, for heavens sake, don't get
fused up now. You've always got
some row on when we have people to
dinner Get me out a shirt, will
you?"
The next half hour only added to
Helen's irritation. Every time she
went into the kitchen she was so ex-
asperated by the presence of Annals
sister that she could hardly give her
orders. Once she caught their muir
