The average Englishman does
know far less about America than
the average American knows about
England, Possibly this Is because Of
the vastness of this country as COM
pared to the powerful little island. At
any rate this ignorance Is seen In the
casual way an Englishman will ask
a New Yorker II he has ever met John
Smith who lives In San Francisco. The
erudte Baldwin has said something
that is true all through lfe Those
whom we should know best are often
the ones of whom we know the least;
the places with which we should be
familiar because they are located near
our homes are often the places which
are better known by the people who
live at a great distance. II is quite
possible that people OF other nations
know Americans better than English
men know them, and Americans know
Englishmen less than they know peo-
pie of other nations merely because,
speaking the same languag they and

Baldwin said, in discussing the neces-
sity for peace and economic stability

speaking peoples join hands in the

assertion that Great Britain had not

Great Britain herself stood out today
as one of the noteworthy utterances
of his address at the Pilgrims din
ner last evening.
Colonel Harvey quoted from the
Balfour note of last August, the phase
under the agreement arrived at the
United States insisted, In substance IL
not in form, that though our allies
were to spend the money, II was only
on our security that they were pre-
pared to lend It,"
The ambassador said he did not
doubt but that British government
would with equal formality and no
less expliciteness remove the mlsap-
prehension created by this unfor-
tunate allusion."
exception of Russia, which was un-
able to get American products, ''the
allies owe the United States more than
they owe Great Britain" and asserted
that the United States did not intend
to ruin the credits of another coun-
try by cancelling its debts.
Recalling the conditions under
which the British debt had been in
Cured, Colonel Harvey said that 30
per cent Of the sixty million persons
in the United States who contributed
to the great war loans were of Brit
ish descent. This fact he said, sure

thought they were aiding exclusive

Prove to Be Prohibition Sleuths

Reno, New. March 1.-Reno's

the discovery that Two OF its most
recent additions, who had become
quite prominent among the gayer-set,
were dry enforcement officers whose

One of the agents posed as film

admittance to the select coterie by
convincing attorneys that they sought
divorces from fictitious wives in or.

have introduced one Of the agents to
young women who enjoyed parties
enlivened by beverages not compat-

New York, March ADMITTEDLY
still without evidence sufficient to
warrant charging anyone with the
crime, the Bronx district attorneys
office today was sitting many stories
of the love affairs of Frederick
Schneider that might have been the
cause Of his murder last Monday.
The district attorney delved into
tales OF jealousy of Mrs. Anna Buzzi,
the divorcee with whom Schneider
lived seven years. Stories of alleged
threats have cropped out since
Schneider's confidential secretary. Miss
Dorothy Helm, was brought into the
case.
Other women with whom Schneid-
or associated were being investigated
by detectives. The district attorney
also showed greater interest in re-'
ports that Mrs. Buzzi believed her life
with him to be on the verge OF dis
solution because Schneider, growing
in wealth in influence, had made
known to her that he was handicap
ped commercially and socially by his
mode of life.
