HAM|LT TON HOLT
LECTURES At ST.
JOHNS COLLEGE
Editor New York Independent
Delivers Brilliant Address On
Certain Aspects Of The Inter
national Outlook And The
League Of Nations"
HIGH EULOGIES FOR
PRESIDENT WILSON

Hamilton Holt the editor of the In
dependent. delivered brilliant lee
ture al Mcdowell Hall last night on
the subject of THE international Out
look and the League of Nations
Speaking of the unfortunate condi-
ton prevailing in Europe at the pres
ent time. due largely to the unsatis-
fed ambitions of the various par
ticipants in the late war, the lecturer
said this was caused in a great meas
ure by the United States having been
so divided by its political parties that
it had refused to take any decisive
sep. even to the extent of not having
as yet signed the peace treaty with
Germany.
Referring TO President Harding's
campaign, he said it was so worded
that the administration could adopt
any Of three courses; il could sup
port the League of Nations if it wigh-
ed. or it could develop an Association
of Nations, or if it preferred it could
adopt Hiram Johnsons policy, and
isolate itself from the rest of the
world.
Mr.. Holt graphically described the
session of the peace conference. Civ
ing an interesting outline of the char-
scteristics of the big four Wilson.
Lloyd-George. Clemenccau and Or
!ando.
He also commented on the fact that
though the sessions of the conference
were presumably held openly there
was no end TO the amount OF red tape
to be gone through before even get
ting a look at the sacred doors behind
which the conference sat.
After sketching the main features
of the Covenant of the League of Na-
tions. Mr., Holt said that, though him.
self Republican by party. he must
state that so much general misinfor-
nation about the League had been
conveyed to the people for campaign
purposes that he considered the marty
had used quite as much poison gas as
any belligerents on the battlefield.
The lecturer concluded his address
with a splendid eulogy of Mr. Wilson
and what he had accomplished at Yer
sailles. and said that a British leader
had said that Wilson's statement OF
the aims of democracy and the object
of the war had largely influenced pee
pie in the contending countries, and
prevented revolutions that would IN
evitably have followed on the war III
both FL gland and France.

The easterly gale yesterday caused
great deal OF damage 10 waterfront
property along the bay and discomfort
to travellers on the Washington. Bal

Short Line.
The tide was higher than it has
been in years and parts of Prince
George, Shipwright and other streets

rains of the past week combined with
the high tide have washed the banks

to the incidents of the day The s
a. m. car from Annapolis met a de-
rallied incoming one at Igleharts

the rain was deluge: at the high
bridge near the District Line the rails
were 50 flooded that il was impossible
for the car to continue The passeng-

make tlfeir way as best they could

Gallant Southern gentlemen carried
the ladies over the worst OF il and
evcry one took the adventure in good
part. But when they got into the new
car they found their troubles were by
no means over. for it leaked like
sieve. So they made the journey back
through the torrent that continued to
fall from heaven. huddled under
whatever umbrellas the crowd could
raise and arrived in Annapolis at 8

firmly resolved to stay al home here
