set up doctrine Of careful selfishness,
thought out to the last detail"
Of George Washington's warning
of entangling alliances, President
Wilson said that "the thing that he
longed for was just what we are now
about to supply: an arrangement
which will disentangle all the alli-
ances in the world"
The president said criticisms of the
league "do not make any impression
on me-" because 1.-The sentiment of the
country is proof against such narrow
ness and such selfishness as that"
Confident of Future
In closing, the president said Amer
dence to the future, for he had heard
cheering news since he came to this
side of the water about the progress
that is being made in Paris towards
the discussion and Qualification of
great many difficult matters and he
believed settlements will begin to be
made rather rapidly from this time
on at those conferences.
The day will come when men in
America will look back with swelling
hearts and rising pride that they
should have been privileged to make
the sacrifice when it was necessary
to make in order to combine their
might and their moral power with the
cause of justice for men Of every kind
everywhere"
Great Crowd Present
Long before the president reached
the opera house, great crowds had col
lected along Broadway and Seventh
avenue, while hundreds of policemen,
the strongest guard ever provided in
this city was stationed around the
building.
An hour before the doors were
thrown open to the few thousands
who had been able to obtain tickets,
inspectors fror, police headquarters
searched the opera house from cellar
to uppermost gallery, showing evil
dence Of precaalt ;ons taken to protect
Americas CHIEF executive. Roofs of
buildings nearby were also searched.
Police lines were drawn two blocks
from all sides Of the opera horse.
Seat holders arriving in automobiles
were forced to descend one block from
the building and walk to the main
entrance. At least fifteen uniformed
policemen vised each ticket before s
seat holder could reach the main en-
trance Of the building and almost as
many more men scanned the tickets
before a person reached his seat.

A new trial for Gerhardt Andersen
and George Durham was denied by
Judge DAILY this morning. These de-
PENDANTS were found guilty by jury of
assaulting George Zapfel at his store
in Woodbridge on June 26. The third
man who was tried the same time. by
the name of Robinson, was acquitted
of the crime at the direction of the
court as it was proven he was not
present at the time of the assault.
The application for a new trial was
made by Franklin NJ. Richie on the
strength of two affidavits by a brother
and sister Of Durham, who claimed
he was outside the building at the
time the assault took place. In the
mind of the court no difference in the
verdict of the jury could have been
reached had this testimony been given
as Durham by remaining at the store
was a party and accessory to the
crime. Probation officer MacWilllam's
report showed that both men had been
In difficulties before on account of

formatory on atrocious assault and
battery charges. Both men were SEN

of the story describes his farm as being
situated a little below the top of a
hill so that he can see for a consider

very often watches the string of cars
and trucks running between Atlantic
