Special Correspondence EUeninD Ledger
LONDON, March 1.
FOLLOWING is an extract from a
= letter. written January 20, which has
just reached me from Philadelphia:
you have no idea of the impression
made here by Wilson'S Address to the SEN
ate. You see how I put In in capitals, like
Washlngtons Farewell Address. We think
it's the biggest thing since Lincoln, and you
can guess that we were disappointed at
the reception IL got We expected that as
soon as IL got to Europe all the big guys
like III. q. Wells and Lloyd George and the
rest would hurry UP and shake the Pres-
dents hand by long distance, II certainly
was come-down when only Hall Game an
swered for all Of the British Empire"
Since that letter was written the break
with Germany has put new face on
American matters over here, and espe-
cially the dramatic reminder of the diff
ficulties of the Far East and Mexico have
made Britons think a little more about
the position of the United States But
there are certain points raised In that let
ter which show up the whole British atti-
tude toward the United states The an
swer would be something like this:
My dear H.-You have no idea how good
II was to get President Wilson's address
TO the Senate over here, II justified all
the pleasant things which and very few
other Americans have been saying of the
President and 1t knocked silly the over
vocal Britons (there are a number of them)
who have insisted that the United States
has never heard about Poland and Hun
gary and the Jugo-Slavs Believe me, we
were proud But we said nothing ana ,
waited for Britain to speak and. sure
enough, out came the Pail Mall Gazette, |
which features Marie Coreli as well as
Hall Cane. with a reply to the latter. You
should have heard the contempt expressed
by intelligent Londoners on that score. |
Then came Bonar Law with the cut direct:
What President Wilson is longing for we
are fighting for" That cheered the Brit |
ons immensely-chiefly because they be- !

JURORS EXCUSED
ACCOUNT OF WAR
Newark Judge Lets Farm
ers Out Of Service

Newark, April 17-War has found a
new excuse from jury service.
When Judge T. B. Fulton convened
court yesterday, he found that a num-
ber of the jurors were farmers and
anxious to be excused from service
because of the pressing need for their
services at home in looking after the
crops and the preparing of the soil.
Judge Fulton acquiesced immediate
ly, stating that he had no desire to
impose any hardship upon any of the
farmers, particularly in view of the
necessity of the present time.
Hence, the Judge ordered the clerk
to summon a special venire of seven
jurors and the following were Sc
lected from the wheel and called into
court to serve in the places of those
excused:
A. l.. CARRIER, II. ID. Doane, John F.
Swisher, j. G. Kreig, G. b. Smucker
