The statement deals. in part. with
the controversy between the two for

pfogram, which was advocated by
lehman, and then takes UP the delay
in construction work on the Hog Is

asserts, was due to the failure of Gen.

Il wish to thank you, sir. from the
bottom of my heart for distinction
which has in singular way crowned
my academic career"
Vice Rector's Sentiment.
In presenting to President Wilson
the insignia and diploma of doctor in
the name of the University of Paris,
Vice Rector Lucien Poincare said:
History will recount how, taking
inspiration from the American people
and Your own thoughts, you reached
one glorious day the decision which is
one of the greatest events recorded in
the war and, in your own words,
placed the blood and all the power of
America at the service of the prin-
ciples which have given her life. History
will also tell how you have sought to
realize the imperishable supremacy of
right by means of an association of
peoples which should liberate the
world"
Pays Honor to Professors.
NJ. Poincare paid honor to American
university professors for the unfail-
ing sympathy they have shown for
France, and also to the American stu
dents who in such great numbers
came to fight beside their French stu
dent comrades.
Many, alas" NJ. Poincare continued,
will not return to their beloved coun-
try, for they have fallen in France.
where. we trust. they felt they were
not on foreign soil, and where they
have left to the youth of the two re-
publics an immortal example of fra
ternal union. Glory to these Ameri-
can students! Glory to the eminent
professors Of their universities! And
glory to you, Mr.. President. the first
American among them all"

tude. He knows how great is the need
for understanding intimacy among
these nations that are still unaffected
by the bacillus of militarist tyranny
on the one hand or by the bacillus or
murderous. piunderous anarchy on the
other. Just now great stretch of
the world is full of danger. Russia is
seething with God knows what, but
with something the western democ-
racies cannot abide, and Russia is
than live under any other flag except
that of Britain and that of China
At any time these millions of litter
ates. without knowledge of anything
beyond their local horizon, might start
to move across Europe, as did the
Goths and Huns in the fourth and
fifth centuries. Moreover. no certain
ty yet appears as to what will be the
future of Germany. The so-called
democrats there talk much. but one
detects no sign nationally of con-
trite heart. Germans generally adj
nit no wrong in making war. Their
words indicate that they are sorry for
nobody except themselves They
would attack again If they had the
power.
England-U. S. Unity Important.
So with anarchy in Russia and abso-
lutte uncertainty in Germany, not to
danger. Britons feel first of all that
this country and the United States,
with their educated and order-loving
people and their huge resources.
should put all they have together to
save from destruction what remains
of civilization. There seems to be no
doubt that France. Italy, Japan and
the sane elements in Russia and
everywhere else gladly would cast in
their lot with Britain and America
in fearless effort by these great
land and sea powers to avert an in
ternational calamity.
Any one who chatters of petty
jealousies in the presence of existing
world conditions stamps himself as
fippant, ignorant and dangerous. Any
correspondent who represents the
American policy as minatory in char
acter, as some are now doing, renders
poor service to his own or any other
country. London and the British peo-
pie will welcome Mr.. Wilson, not as
one who comes rudely to force his
own ideas into acceptance, but as one
who comes to counsel considerably
with other high-minded men touching
a situation of almost infinite delicacy
and difficulty.
