friend, calling the exporter aside, whis- pered:
 How can you bear to talk with Inigger?'
 The exporter explained his long friendship with the Indian and the inn portance of their business relations. Then he turned to introduce the two men. The Bombay merchant had has tily put on his right glove and shook hands with his hand covered.
 "Why the glover the exporter asked when they were alone.
 How else could return the insult |of his first glance without embarrass- ing you good friend? The fact that he did not aplpr;;iate the insult makes my enjoyment the keener."
 Until we get over the snug insular- ism which makes possible such an atti- tude toward people of other nations, we have much to learn from orientals.
 The fact that we regard everyone not from the United States as foreigner" (with the connotation of "heathen," |''nigger" and 'crook") is the greatest handicap we have in developing our in |ternational commerce. Superiority to judgments based upon the color of the skin is the lesson we must learn from the orient before we are fitted for world trade.

mass of suffering humanity.
 Thousands of men and still more wom- en and children are dying every day from actual starvation and one of the great est difficulties relief workers have ex- perenced is getting enough workmen, who are themselves sufficiently fed, to bury those who die of starvation.
 Steps are already being taken to bring quick relief to the sick and dying. The signing of the armistice has enabled the United States government to sell to the American committee for relief in the near east for nominal sum 15 complete hos pitals of 100 beds each, including com plete equipment and 200 motor trucks. The buildings for the hospitals are already completed in Turkey, Armenia and Syria. The equipment purchased from the gov ernment will be immediately moved from France, including a large amount of medical supplies and the motor trucks will be used for the returning of the refugees and for distributing food throughout the starving district.

VISITS CARLISLE TO-DAY

Carlisle, England, December 2S.-ThiR bustling railway center where in olden times Briton and Scot often battled for supremacy, was busy today preparing to welcome President Wilson when he comes tomorrow to visit the girlhood home here of his mother. Here and there the Stars and Stripes hang azily in the smoke : laden atmosphere and an occasional mer- chant is decorating his shop window with tri-color ribbons
 Decoration. however, is not general for official word has gone out that the President desires his visit to be purely informal. The people, however, are mak ing their own preparations and the po- lice force has been augmented in eX- pectation of large crowd tomorrow. The President on arriving will be escort ed past the old Roman wall to the Crown and Mitre hotel, a famous old coaching hotel, where he will be presented with the freedom of the city, and will sign the city roll. which contains many famous names A silver casket containing thu engrossed address of welcome will be sent later to Washington.

He also will visit the house iL Cavendish place, which his father built and will be shown the room which his mother occupied. The house has been unoccupied for sometime.
 After viewing the records of his family at the Crown and Mitre, the President will receive call from Thomas Watson, an aged house painter, who attended the school kept by the Rev Woodrow, the Presidents grandfather.
 TO ATTEND SERVICE
 The Rev Edward Booth, pastor of the Lowther Street Congregational church, received a message from London this afternoon stating that the President would attend service Sunday. As the physicians attending the Rev. Mr Booth say he will be able to preach tomorrow, he will conduct the service.
 The Cavendish house is two stories high. It is now owned by Edgar Saver. Ia banker, who lives there with his fam fly. It consists of three rooms on the first floor, five on the second and two in the attic.
 The terms of the ground lease specified that the walls of the house must be IA inches thick if of brick, and IS inches if of stone while all the timber should be seasoned oak. These provisions seem to have been strictly carried out, and the house appears to be in fine condi- tion
 MT. Saver who has just moved in. bought the house because it was the only one ohtainable in the city. He had no idea, he said, today it was of his toric interest The room where Presi- dent Wilson's grandfather conducted school is now used as dining room. It extends the depth of the house, With big windows at each end one opening on the garden, which was once the school playground. MT. Saver is unable to identify the room which the Pres- dents mother occupied.

BUSINESS NOT DONE

But there was something more in 1t, the consciousness that the business IS not yet done, the consciousness that it now rests upon others to see that those lives were not lost in vain.
 T have not yet been to the actual bat tlefields, but I have been with many of the men who have fought the battles, and the other day I had the pleasure of being present at a session of the French academy when they admitted Marshal Joffre to their membership. That sturdy, serene soldier stooG and uttered not the words of triumph but the simple words Of affection for his soldiers and the con viction which he summed up in a sen tence which I will not try accurately to quote, but reproduce in it's spirit. It was that France must always remember that the valiant and weak could never live free in the world unless the strong and always great put their power and their strength to the service of right
 ''rhat is the after thought-the thought that something must be- done now, not only to make the just settlement-that of course-but to see that the settlements remained and were observed, and that honor and justice prevails in the world. And as 1 have conversed with the sol diers, l have been more and more aware that they fought for something that not only all of them had defined, but which all of them recognized the moment you stated it to them. They fought to de. away with an old order, and to estab- fish a new one, and the center and char acterstic of the old order was that un- stable thing which we used to call the balance of power, thing in which the balance was determined by the sword which was thrown to the one side or the other, a balance which was determined by the unstable jealous watchfulness and an antagonism of interests which, though it was generally latent, was always deep seated

WARMLY WELCOMED

The British prime minister warmly wei comed the American newspaper men to England. He expressed qualification that he had been able to meet them and spoke unrestrainedly of the important role newspaper men had played in the pro- motion of the ends that all had at heart in furthering the intimate friendship be- tween the United States and Great Bri- tain.
 The premier said that owing to the elections, it had not been possible as yet to organize the British delegation to the peace congress, but he would proceed immediately, now that the result was known, to take up the matter with his colleagues.
 At the present time, he added, it could be stated that only two members ofSthe delegation had been selected definitely meaning himself and Foreign Secretary Balfour.
 Touching the report coming from the United States that Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, would be one of the delegates, the premier pointed out that it was impossible, as the chancellor was the government leader in the House of Commons and his pres ence would be needed at home.

London. December 2S.-Premier Lloyd George, in receiving American newspaper at his residence tonight, said the conferences with the President had brought about an agreement on gen eral principles. The premier said he felt assured that matters which had been agreed upon between America and Eng land would prove of the greatest assist arce in the work of the peace congress.
 An understanding virtually had been reached already between the entente powers regarding the admission of the various nations to the peace conference Itself. said the premier Tn his confer ences in Paris with the premiers of France and Italy, President Wilson had become fully acquainted with their views and he had now also acquired knowl- edge of the British standpoint.
 And" continued the premier, T feel assured that all these powers are in accord on the base principles of the peace which win come before the con- ference. At any rate it will be certain that America and England will be founG working in complete harmony in the conference.
 At the close of his address. answering question as to when he expected the British delegation to go to Paris, the premier replied that owing to the neces- sity of clearing up the general election and other pressing business. it could not be before the end of the first week Of the new year.
 The newspaper men were received after a long conference between the pre-. mier, Secretary Balfour and President Wilson, and which will be continued at the premier's dinner tonight to the Pres ident at his official residence in Downing street.

ONE POWERFUL GROUP

The men who have fought in this war have been the men from the free nations who are determined that that sort of thing should end now and forever. It is very interesting to me to observe how from every quarter, from every sort of mind, from every concert of counsel there comes the suggestion that there must now not be a balance of power, not one powerful group of nations set up against another but single overwhelm- ingly powerful group of nations who shall be the trustees of the peace of the world.
 ''It has been delightful in my confer ences with the leaders of your govern ment. to find how our minds moved along exactly the same line and how our thought was always that the key to the peace was the guarantee of the peace, not the items of it: that the Items. would be worthless unless there stood back of them permanent concert of power for their maintenance That is the most reassuring thing that has ever happened in the world.
 When this war began the thought of X league of nations was indulgently con. sidered as the interesting thought of closeted students. It was thought of as one of those things we have the right to characterize by name. which as a university man, I have always resented.
 
 itself were a condemnation-somet that men could think about but never get Now we find the practical leading minds of the world determined to get it.
 No such sudden and potent union of purpose has ever been witnessed in the world before. Do you wonder, therefore, gentlemen that in common with those who represent you, l am eager to get at the business and write the sentences down? And that I am particularly happy that the ground is cleared, and the foundations laid-for We have already ac- complished the same embodiment of principles. Those principles are clearly and definitely enough stated to make their application matter which should afford no fundamental difficulty.
 WANT PEACE NOW
 And back of us is that imperative yearnng of the world to have all dis turbing questions queted, to have all threats against peace silenced; to have just men everywhere come together for a common object. The peoples of this world want peace and they want it now, not merely by conquest of arms, but by agreement of mind.
 "It was this incon1parably great object that brought me overseas. It has never before been deemed excusable for Pres ident of the United States to leave the territory of the United States, but I know that have the support of the judg- ment of my colleagues in the government of the United States in saying that it was my paramount duty to turn away even from the imperative tasks at home to lend such counsel and aid as I could lend to this great-may I not say final enterprise of humanity?'

of the clouds that at one time seemed to have settled upon the world in a way that could not be dispersed, the suffering of your own people. the suf- fering of the people of France and the infinite suffering of the people of Bel gium. The whisper of grief that has been blown all through the world is now silent and the sun of hope seems to spread its rays and to change the earth with a new prospect of happi- ness. So. our joy is all the more ele- vated because we know that our spirits are now lifted out of that valley"
 GUILDHALL SPEECH
 The text of President Wilson's speech at the Guildhal this afternoon IS as follows;
 ''Mr Lord Mayor We have come upon times when ceremonies like this have a new significance. which most impresses me as stand here. The address which 1 have just heard Is most generously and gracously conceived, and the delightful accent of sincerity in it seems like part of that voice of counsel which is now everywhere to be heard. l feel that a distinguished honor has been conferred upon me by this reception, and beg to, assure you, sir, and your associates of my very profound appreciation, but know that I am only part of what may call a great body of circumstances.
 q do not believe that it was fancy on my part that I heard in the voice of vel come uttered in the streets of this great city, and in the streets of Paris some thing more than personal welcome. It seemed to me that I heard the voice of one people speaking to another people and it was a voice in which one could distinguish a singular combination of emotions. There was surely there the deep gratefulness that the fighting was over. There was the pride that the fight ing had had such a elimination. There was that sort of gratitude that the na- tions engaged had produced such men as the soldiers of Great Britain and of the United States and of France and of Italy men whose prowess and achievements they had witnessed with rising admira< ton as they moved from elimination to

Garfield says that there is likely to

The shortage is due to two causes
lack of coal cars and lack of labor

In Albany, New York, recently. a
conference was held by Governor Wit
man and representatives of the State
Grange, the Farm Bureau, the State
Colleges of Forestry and the Conser-
walton Commissioner to discuss ways
and means of saving more than mil

wood. In this cnnection an expert
