the Albert Hall. to lecture tonight on
how he was made twenty years
younger by Professor Steinach in
Vienna last February by means of
gland grating. died suddenly yes

The doctor who attended the Ice

II have observed that when rats
have been treated by gland trans

then died.
"Mr. Wilson knew this. He called
me in few days ago and said that
his hair was growing again. Now he

NAMED FOR WILSON

CHICAGO. May 13.--Wilson. Ill,
the only town in the u. S. A. named
in honor OF Woodrow Wilson, has
been abandoned. 1t has been taken
of the map.
Wilson until yesterday was sta
ton on the Chicago. Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railroad, Ave miles south
west of waukegan. The trains
stopped there. Now they do not even
hesitate.
The station was once known as
warrenton but IL was rechristened
during the war. Retrenchment on
the part OF the railroad is responsible
for its abandonment.

Canada MAY Be
BIC borrower
Dominion Expected to Secure
A0,000,000 at 7 Per Cent
From N. Y. Bankers.

NEW YORK. May 14.-Informal
discus relative TO Dominion of
Canada financing in this market are
going on in banking circles, and
the opinion has been expressed that
a loan of SAC, 1000 was likely to
be arranged in New York before
July 1 to take care of maturities
and replenish the Dominion's An,eri-
can balances
Early this year negotiations for a
Dominion loan were carried on be-
tween Canadian financial representa-
tives and local bankers with view
to arranging for the $4,000, 900
Dominion note maturity CT April l
and the s15.ooO,000 maturity of
August 1.
The representatives of the Ca
madam government we're told by
the bankers they would have to pay
at least IN per cent for the .unis
needed. so the plan for loan was
aba ndoned and the S25,O00.OO0 April
maturity was met through the ship
ment of approximately $10,00O.O0O In
gold from ottawa and by drawing
against the Dominion's balances
here.
The August / maturity Of $751;
O0O, 900 Is yet to be provided for,
and according to the view OF the
bankers this will likely be taken
care of through refunding opera
ton which will at the same time
provide Canada with funds for build
ing up its balances here. To do so.
a flotation of $4o,00o.000 would be
necessary.
The Dominion of Canada has al
ways enjoyed the best of credit here,
.nd tho belief was EXPRESSED yes
aitions that with money market con-
ditons becoming easier a loan OF the
amount mentioned could be ar
ranged without difficulty on per
cent basis. and perhaps less.
Ordinarily Canada would replenish
It's New York balances through the
regular channels of the exchange
market, but the premium of approx
imately 10 per cent on the American
dollar in Canada makes such ar
operation too costly.

HUNTING ANOTHER MAN.

And now the directors are look
ing for another man to take hold of
the helm-although. for all I know,
the directors may have been entirely
in sympathy, at the time. with the
methods adopted by their president.
The moral?
Unless the president of a large or
ganization, serving the public in an
intimate way. has tact enough and
wisdom enough to avoid mourning
the hatred OF the masses, he is likely
to fnd himself dropped by his direc-
tors sooner or later, even though his
tactics may have resulted in tempo
rarily earning abnormal profits.
Most boards of directors give their
presidents very free rein. Time was
when the only thing they demanded
in return was satisfactory balance
sheet at the end of the year.
But something else Is now expected
Of executives holding important posi-
tons: They are expected to formu-
late and follow a policy which will
not bring the directors into public
dIsfavor and disrepute.
Even where they have been con-
suited and acquiesced in a certain
policy they are not disposed, as .
rule, to show much mercy IL that
policy gets them in wrong with the
people.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. May 10
Failure of the United states Wealth

FEDERAL RESERVE DECISION

THE FULL EXPLANATION.

Sensing that a full explanation was
due the public and that unless II was
forthcoming there would be trouble
in store for the industry in general
and for this executive in particular,
first asked, and later begged him
to lay the full facts before the people.

hide it," implored him. i impressed
upon him that silence merely In

thing to hide or not ! don't know.
The presidents attitude. however. left
doubts in my mind just as 1t left
doubts in the minds of the general
public
Then. one fine day, the bottom
Eel out of the industry. Prices
tumbled headlong. Caught with huge
raw material commitments. the COM
pany refused to accept the cancel
lations which poured in upon II as
upon most other concerns
Again an unfortunate attitude was
adopted, this time toward customers.
Instead Of striving to reach q COM
promise over contracts, the company
started to bring suits right and
left against customers who either
would not or could not accept de-
livery and pay the dizzy contract
prices.
Having first failed to get along
with the public and havng next
followed a course clearly calculated
to incite the ill-will of customers,
the company woke up to the fact
that it had landed itself in a most
unenviable position. Loss of good
will was followed by the loss OF
millions of dollars.

WHEN MELLEN LEFT.

When the late J. p. Morgan died
and his son came into power. one OF
the first things he did was to dis
miss summarily Charles S. Mellen
from the presidency Of the New
Haven Railroad, Notwithstanding
that Mellen had had the support or
the elder Morgan and other influ-
entail directors In the carrying out
of the program which ultimately
wrecked that fine old road.
Is there not a thought in all this
for the guidance of executives and
also for other business men?

This president IL a rather youngtsh
man to be nlling so big q job. The
controlling directors originally had
very high hopes of him.
The company had previously been
thrown into public disfavor and dis
trust because Of questionable prac-
tices,. which were publicly exposed.
The directors felt that their choice
of q younger-generat executive
would lead to the concerns rehabiIita-
ton in public esteem.
Things went well enough until the
Var crises came. Then the staple
product handled by the company, .
product used In every household In
the land. began to soar in prices.
Up and up 1t went-nrst 100 per
cent; then 300 per cent, and then still
more. Public Indignation rose as
rapidly az prices. Charges OF ma
grant proiiteering were daily made.

In one case the directors action
has been actuated solely by tho uttef
failure of the chief executive to fore
see year ago what was coming. with
the consequence that the company
found itself in dire financial trouble
which came within a hairs breath of
precipitating the enterprise into
bankruptcy.
This executive had already earned
reputation In the trade for over
reaching. for putting too much money
into bricks and mortar and ma
chinery.

The Roman Catholics throughout the

So the hand Of the Maker has shown
itself in due time to protect ar oppressed

likely to have occurred in the form OF a
revolution, when we have to consider
that this organization had no less than

TELEGRAMS.
ST. CROIX STATION.

New York, Oct 28th. New York sur
rendered to Marshal Foch today without
striking a blow. Not since Armistice
Day has there been a demonstration on
Broadway to compare in spontaneity or
numbers with the reception accorded this
afternoon to the cOnQuerOr OF the German
armies. From the battery, where he
was greeted by Governor Miller of New
York State, TO the City Hall, where he
was welcomed by Mayor Hylan, the
great little man in Horizon blue moved
in a triumphant procession of many
thousands. BY his side rode General
Pershing who. as leader of the United
States forces in Europe, acted under
Marshal Fochs' supreme command. To
General Pershing fell the honour of first
welcoming the French Marshal to the
shores of the United States. Receiving
the freedom OF the city from the Mayor,
Marshal Foch continued his "triumphal
entry" motoring along Fifth Avenue to
the Pennsylvania station. All along the
route and at the station, multitudes
had assembled to cheer the visitor.
Cheers were still resounding when. the
special train, taking the Marshal to
Washington on the first leg OF his jour
ney to Kansas City for the American
Legion convention, pulled out OF the
terminal. The welcome to Marshal Foch
began 100 miles out at sea. Thele the
liner Paris" on which he was a passen-
ger, was Joined by II destroyers and
a squadron of seaplanes. The steam
ship George Washington" on which
General Pershing was returning from
Europe, raced into port passing the
"Paris," in order thai the United States
General might be the first to welcome
his former Commanderln chief.

it made most rapid success so far as out
RACES against Negroes are concerned.
In the North they have been operat-
ing against Jews and Catholics. but their
success in the use of tar and feathers,
lynching and burning at the stake did
not prove to their advantage as when
applied to Negroes.
Happily, human beings of color, whe-
ther light or dark, are classified in this
country under the term Negro, A condi.
ton which has brought about in many
quarters a filial love of race by those who
are light enough to get by as whites.
So, it happened that a Negro of very
light complexion, got by, and was init
ated in the order.
He was elected to a high office, got
hold of all their official documents, and
exposed the whole mess to the public
through the New York World.
simultaneously, a Major Andersen
Wright (white) also a high official in the
order turned turtle, and gave out the
whole proceedings to the New York
American.

rerstitions, and threatening to overthrow
the civilized government of the United
States. %
In the South, night parades were made
at certain times in public streets to scare
Negroes against their political rights.
At a recent parade held by them at
Jacks )nville Florida, a coIored woman
was heard to remark -"PshaW" if our
boys were not scared o'dem big German
guns, you know you all ain done nuttin".
If a similar demonstration took place
in the Virgin islands, one would not be
surprised to learn that a we'll directed
c~onchshell would have driven the wicked
upstairs to cover.
Now the Imperial Wizar and Emperor
is called to the stand, and has thus far
staged a similar act to that OF Christ
when he was crucified.
Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do, he said, and down to the
floor he sank, 50 real, that 1t was neces-
sary for the investigating mob to stop
the torture, and postpone the crucltlxlon
until some other day.
But the Imperial Wizard is likely to
recover, and when the most serious
charges are preferred, this religious
hypocrite may look upon his cross Of lre
and utter Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani.

Khan do not believe the Negro a human

were witnessed last night at a meeting
of the British Empire Union, held at
Central Hall, Westminster The Earl of
Derby was announced as the principal
speaker, but he was hoWled do Yn and r.
nally the meeting had to be abandoned.
Sir Ernest Wild K. c.. presided and dur
ing his remarks there were continual in
terruptions from a number Of eX-serVlce
men and unemployed seated in the gal
lery. He warned them that if they did
not behave they would be turned out,
adding, you will find plenty Of broth
err "Bolsh2viki outside" A number Of
occupants of the gallery then began
singing John Browns Body" followed
by the Red Flag" and some stink
bombs were thrown into the Hall. When
a steward requested one of the inter
rupters to leave, the man launched
out with his fist. A scene of pande
monium ensued. There was blowing OF
whistles, sounding of pig squeakers and
r~attles, and thehe air became thick
with missiles which shoWered on the
platform. Hard to hand fighting took
place in several parts OF the building and
an attempt was made to storm the plat
form. A strong body of police was
called in to eject the disturbels, but be-
fore the officers had time to act. the op
position gained the platform and seized
a large Union Jack, which had been
draping the front of the organ and
trampled on it. There was a desperate
struggle for possession of the flag, which
ended by the police closing with the
demonstrators and ejecting them. The
flag was recovered and restored to its
place. A few hundred members OF the
British union, who remained gathered
) around the platform, were briefly adj
= dressed by Sir Ernest Wild, who declared
the union was OUT to fight Bolshevism.
Sir Ernest Wild told a reporter that
the disturbance was obviously an orga-
nized affair. Among the men and wo-
men in the hall, were known Communists
and we're identified.
