Wilson Inspires New Hope in Grave
Hour.
[By Frank H. Simonds. ]

ferent is the cessation from
an actual restoration of peace.
Peace, for four and a half des-
perate years, has been a golden
promise-a sufficient goal to en-
list all effort. But it has turned
out that even when the fight is
over, and the victory won, the
goal remains remote. There are
still pain, privations, apprehen-
sions. One immediate peril has
gone, but a dozen which seemed
remote yesterday have today be-
come immediate.
Into this situation President
Wilson has come to give vitality
to the old hopes, aspirations and
expectations; no one can exag-
gerate the danger inherent in
such a position and in such a
role; no living man, no man who
has ever lived, could satisfy the
expectations President Wilson
has aroused. Yet this much is
clear. He has so far done moth
ing to lessen hopes and much to
strengthen them.
When he went away from
England, he left behind him new
hopes, but he shattered none of
those which existed before he
came. Let it be understood at
once that this British visit was
not in any sense another of the
old-fashioned hands across the
sea" and blood is thicker than
water" affairs. 1t was not past
relationship but future co-opera-
ton which was and is in the
minds of British and Americans.
The old efforts, earnest and sim
~cere as they were, failed inn
measurably because they were
backward looking and rested up
on an old association which could
not be restored.
Viewed close to the event and
with all proper qualification nee
essary in the premises, the great
thing, the very greatest thing.
about President Wilson's visit
was that it created the belief that
there could be present and future
cooperation between the United
States and Great Britain, because
there was a solid basis for such
cooperation. Millions of men
and women found in the presence
and in the words of Mr.. Wilson
evidence of a contemporary COM
munity of thought, as of aspira-
tons and of ideals.
/ came to London wholly skep-
teal of the Wilson visit. l found
unanimous testimony to its sue
cess, including that of the Amer.
leans in London who would
naturally be least reserved in
criticism of an American to an
American. Certainly the visit
settled nothing so far as the con.
gress of Versailles is concerned.
The great problems still await
solution. But do not think
exaggerate when | say that il
lifted Anglo-American relations
to a new level of common under
standing and sympathy.
The president did not champion
an Anglo-American alliance as
the solution of the present worle
crisis, but he did promote a bet
ter Anglo-American understand
ing; and he did it, not by empha
sizing the fact a certain percent
age of American people are. Of
British stock, or by stressing thu
fact of common institutions, bu
by demonstrating that in thu
present year of grace Americans
and British are facing the same
perils with the same essentia

not identical, are mutually intel

G. o. P. MEMBERS OF THE
HOUSE TO HOLD CAUCUS
Three Questions to. Be Discussed
at Meeting Called for Tomor-
row Night at 8 O'Clock.


The republican membership of the
House will hold a caucus tomorrow
night at s o'clock. There are three
principal reasons for such a confer
ence. One Of these is to settle the
question as to whether the legisla-
tive steering committee shall be en-
larged by two or four members. The
general opinion seems to be that an
increase of two would be preferable.
The four names most prominently
mentioned are Representatives Ander-
son of Minnesota. Nolan of California,
Reavis of Nebraska and Slemp of
Virginia.
The question of taking periodic re-
cesses will also receive a great deal
of attention, and a definite program
will probably be arranged tomorrow
night.
The third reason for the meeting
is to decide upon legislative pro-
gram of the most important matters
which must receive urgent attention
before any recess is taken, and to
decide also what important proposals
should be the subject of hearings
during any recess that the House
may take.
House Leader Mondell explained to-
day that this caucus is not due to
any unusual condition. but was de-
cided upon long ago. the only ques-
ton being as to when would be a
suitable date. That was decided at
conference of the steering commit
tee with the Speaker this morning.

back or make an outcry because of
the rough appearance of the footpads.
When he was released one of the men
said. Now, give him shot or two"
and imm ediately three shots rang out,
but Mr.. Smith thinks they were fired
in the air.
Mrs. Smith returned to her home
about 1890, accompanied by two SOL

ment employees was passed by the
