Blumenfeld declared that the war
had measurably increased the good
feeling in Great Britain towards The
United States.
| No single factor contributed more
to that result than the splendid con.

to the stupidity of London police

New York, May 'S.--A quick peace,

world loan enabling those countries
bankrupted by the war to rehabilitate
hemselves-these-. are the immedi
ate needs of the world today, in the
opinion of Ralph u. Blumenfeld, edi-
tor of the London Daily Express.
Blumenfeld, who is one of the most
influential British publishers, was
born in this country but has lived in
England for 27 years, during which
time he has been identified with the
direction of large journalistic enter.

The question of a quick peace is
more Important than the question of
the terms of that peace. Blumenfeld
believes.
Delay, no matter for what cause
is dangerous" he declared in an inter
view with the United Press s'In
fact, had the peace settlement been
made last November-as it should
have been made-the world would
have been better off today. The un.

The accident occurred on Sunday ev-

flesh of her nose. In the operation,
which will be attempted on Thursday,
Miss Smith arm will be placed across
her nose 50 that the living skin of the
former will grow onto the wounded
parts Of the latter and SO replace the
flesh torn away by the teeth of the
horse. Thereafter the arm will be cut
away and the new skin nodded into

The operation has been successfully
performed again and again in the hos

effective In Miss Smith s case.
