TWO CRANKS SEEK WILSON
Two Attempts Made to Attack Presi-
dent, in Day-Executive Lights
Statue of Liberty.

New York, Dec. 5.-Two men were
arrested on Saturday for trying to see
President Wilson. The avowed object
of one was murder. The second man
taken said he wanted to hand the
president letter.
The second arrest was made in the
Waldorf Astoria, where the president
was the guest of honor at banquet
in connection with the celebration of
the Statue of Liberty illumination.
The man said he was an Austrian by
birth, but had lived in America Is
years. The man was seized as he was
about to enter the banquet hall. When
an explanation was demanded of him
he would only say:
II have a letter to deliver to the
president"
The first arrest was made in the
Reading terminal in Philadelphia. The
prisoner gave his name as Jonathan
Kraus, no home. The man leaped
upon man leaving the station and
shouted;
You're the president! / shall kill
you'll"
President Wilson, speaking at the
banquet which was the elimination of
the celebration to mark the permanent
illumination of the Statue of Liberty
in New York harbor, declared that he
had thought for the last two years that
peace is going to come to the world
only with liberty"

NO WORSE THAN OLD PLAQUES
Doubt Whether lnfantile Paralysis
Causes More Deaths Than Do
DiarrheaI Diseases.

The epidemic of infantile paralysis
In New York shows sign of abating.
Meanwhile, Chicago is almost free
from it, and there is nothing to show
that the few cases in Illinois have any
connection with the epidemic raging in
the East.
Many things combine to make this
the most awe-inspiring vista ton that
the metropolis has had in years. The
persistent mystery of it, the high per-
centage of mortality, and the fact that
a large proportion of those who recov-
er must suffer from partial paralysis
the rest of their lives-these things
may well disturb the sleep of parents.
And yet, the probabilities are that
diarrheal diseases are killing far more
babies in New York even now than is
infantile paralysis, and if the intestinal
complaints leave no muscular Grip
pling behind, in a considerable proper
ton of cases they do leave damaged
constitutions. The old plaques are the
most dangerous ones, after all.-Chi-
cago Journal.

BIG LOAN is CANCELLED
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARDS
STAND HALTS ALLIES DEAL.
Morgan g. Co. Withdraw Proposed
Sale of $5o,0oo,oo0 Treas
ury Bills.

New York, Dec. 4-The firm of ]. p
Morgan & Co. has withdrawn the pro-
posed sale of $5O,O0O,OOO of British and
French treasury bills, according to in
stfuctions received from abroad.
| The announcement was contained in
the following statement:
''We have been instructed by the
| British and French governments to
withdraw their treasury bills from sale.
| We have accordingly expressed to
those institutions and investors which
had already placed orders with US for
| these securities to wish to be released
| from the obligations to deliver and
they have been good enough to accede.
| This action is because, as explained
! by the British chancellor of the ex-
chequer and by the French minister of
| finance, these governments desire to
! show every regard to the federal re-
serve board, a governmental body of
which the secretary of the treasury
and the comptroller of currency are
ex-officio members.
1--WE may add that the sale in linz
| tied amount of these treasury bills pay
| able in dollars in New York has never
been an essential part of the allied
governments financial plans, but have
| for some time been under considera-
| ton with view TO furnishing a credit
medium that would accommodate the
American banking demands for an in
strument of short maturity and of such
| limited volume that the government
could always undertake to day down
| gold in New York sufficient to meet the
matured bills.
1T was believed further that these
| bills would have furnished at the end
of the was an excellent measure of pro-
lection to the American financial situa-
ton inasmuch as these steadily matur-
ing obligations of the foreign govern
ments would have tended to prevent
heavy drafts of gold from this mar
ket."
| An informal statement was made by
a member of the Morgan house that no
other financial plarv have been formu-
lated in place of the ones abandoned

Impor+an1 TO Mothers
One Great Truth of Life.

The one great truth to which we all
need to come is that a successful life
lies not in doing this, or going there,
or possessing something else: it lies
in the quality of the daily life. 1t is
just as surely success to be just and
courteous to servants or companions
or the chance conner, as it is to make
a noted speech before an audience, or
write book, or make million dol
lars 1t is achievement on the spirit
ual side of things; it is the extension
of our life hereinto the spiritual world,
that is, alone, of value. This extension
is achieved, this growth toward high
er things is attained, by our habitual
attitude of mind 1t develops by truth
and love and goodness; it is stunted
by every envious thought, every I'M
just or unkind act.-Lilian Whiting.
