WILSON'S PEACE
 PROGRAM RAPED BY BRITISH. PEER

London, May 31.-Lord Cromer, dis .cussing President Wilson's peace speech in a letter to the Times, de- c1ares that peace can only be made on the terms Of the allies His letter says in part:
 Tn the first place, President Wilson cannot too clearly understand that all though the people of this country are desirous of bringing the war to 9 close they would altogether reject tfe idea of concluding peace save on terms wholly acceptable to themselves and their allies. In the second place, President Wilson should realize that the meaningless and misleading phrase freedom of the seas is generally re- garded here as a mere euphemism for the destruetion of the naval suprem- acy of Great Britain
 Tn the third place, while we all rec ognize President Wilson's good inten- tions and lofty aims, it is more than doubtful, despite the friendly feelings entertained towards America, whether the people of this country would well come under any circumstances the idea that President Wilson should as- surne the role of mediator. As not has succeeded note and speech followed speech, the conviction has been stead. fly growing that Rresident Wilson has allied to grasp the view entertained by the Englishnen on the cause for which the entente allies are fighting"

Rain Soaks Fireworks
 And Spells Exhibition

Rain so damaged the fireworks dis play which the American Annusernen ent Co. had arranged for Newffeld park last night that it was impossible to give the complete exhibition. The mechanical effects in the Charlie Chaplin display pieces were so badly soaked by the showers of the night before and the rainfall of last night that they could not be operated. The same was true of many of the other pieces. In consequence several hun dred spectators who had assembled were disappointed. The disappoint- ment of the American Amusement Go. officials is much greater, however, as the concern loses $500.
