WILSON SPEAKS
At GUILD HALL
TO STATESMEN

LONDON.-Speaking in the his
toric Guildhall today before a cere-
monious gathering of England's
most distinguished statesmen, Presi-
dent Wilson reaffirmed the principle
that there must no longer be what
has been termed the balance of
power, which might uLsettle the
peace of the world, but that the fu-
ture must produce concert of
power which will be powerful enough
to prevent future disturbances.
The Mail says that President Will
son and Premier Lloyd George held
an extremely successful and salts
factory conference yesterday and de-
clared that the British premier was
rarely so enthusiastic over the re-
suits of any conference ever held
before as at this one.
The address delivered by Presi-
dent Wilson at the Guildhall today
met with a spontaneous and hearty
reception, and his remarks were list
ened to with rapt attention by the
large and distinguished assemblage
gathered there.
President Wilson declared that the
soldiers fought to abolish the old
order of things and for the estab-
lishment of new order.
The old order, he declared, had
for its center the unstable thing
called balance of power, which was
determined by competitive interests,
jealous watchfulness and antagonism
of interests.
He said that the men who fought
in the war were men from free
nations who were determined that
the old order of things shall forever
end, and that from every quarter
and from every sort of mind the
suggestion for a concert of power to
replace the old balance of power is
now made This concert of power,
he said, must be a single, over
whelming and powerful group of
nations which shall be trustee of the
worlds peace.
President Wilson said he was
happy because the ground had been
cleared and the foundation laid for
lasting peace. He said: eve have
already accepted the basic principles
which were clearly and definitely
enough stated as to make their ap-
plication a matter which should af-
ford no fundamental difficulty. The
people of the world want peace, not
by conquest of arms, but by agree
ment of the mind"
In concluding, the President said
that the British leaders are thinking
along the same lines as indicated
by him.

at about 3:45 yesterday afternoon
on the Fairbanks-Nenana branch of
the railroad grade, resulting in the
death of Ivory St. Clair, con-
tractor, who with five partners, was
engaged in grading work on the
railroad Y near camp 415, situated
at the foot of the bluff across the
Tanana river from town.
The body of the unfortunate con-
tractor was brought to own imme-
diately after the accident and now
lies at the Commission hospital,
pending the action of the authori-
ties and the wishes of his relatives,
who have been duly notified of the
sad occurrence.
The death of St. Clair was the
result of the lossening of huge slab
of frozen sandy loan which crushed
him under its weight, death being
instantaneous. This is the first
fatal accident of its kind to occur
in the actual construction operations
on the railroad since active con-
struction was begun on the Fair
banks division of the railroad; the
only other fatal accident occurred
when the late Axel Running was
fatally injured while at work load
ing heavy package onto a car re-
Gently, who died a few days after
wards.
The scene of the accident was on
the grade at point about 1000 feet
from Camp AIS where the con-
tractors were engaged in borrowing
material for the fill on the portion
Of the Y they had contracted to con-
struct. The material was being
taken from the cut in the bank
about Is feet in height and was
being conveyed to the beginning of
the dump, approximately 800 feet
away.
The upper part of the bank for
depth of about four or five feet
was frozen solid, necessitating blast
ing, and about an hour before the
accident occurred, Max Altman, one
l of the partners to the contract, had
blasted two holes. As there was
quite an overhang after the shots
were set off, Altman carefully ex-
amined the mass to see if there were
any cracks around it, and finding
no signs that would indicate any
danger, proceeded to drill hole for
another charge which he expected
would bring the mass down.
| He procured a ladder and at a
distance of about seven or eight
feet from the grade level drilled
hole and just got through loading
it preparatory to shooting, when the
mass began to move, and shouting
a warning to St. Clair, who at the
time was standing by a dump car
near the bank, Altman jumped from
the ladder, clearing the track.
Altman thipks that St. Clair, who
was hard of hearing, did not hear
his warning cry, and when he
realized the peril did not have time
to get away.
The loosened mass of earth, COM
ing down with great suddenness
broke into two pieces; one of which
rolled down the bank, while the
other, which is said to have weighed
approximately two tons or more
rolled in the direction of the dump
car, catching st. Clair as he ran and
|pinning him between it and the
Overturned car.

Ito the contract, who happened to b.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

Undor the arrangement rIIdde
by the Secretary of the Treasury
and approved by the president,
these allied governments commun-
icate their requirements for ma
terials and supplies to a United
States commission through their
own designated purchasing a.
gents in this country and the COM
mission then renders its best eff
forts to obtain advantageous
terms which are submitted to the
purchasing agents.
By these means competitive
bidding against the United States
is avoided and the same terms
and the same treatment our own
government receives is accorded
to our allies.
1t is expressed stipulated t'nat
no obligation or liability upoy.l the
United States shall be c',eated
by this arrangement. Our govern
ment is simply lending it's assis-
lance to our allies in spending
here of the money we loaned
them. The protection thus grant
ed them is deserved for they are

do not do. must. be done by
America at the expense of
