MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. September I.
-Repeating his criticism of Woodrow
Wilson, made first at Williamstown.
Mass, Lord Birkenhead, former lord
chancellor of Great Britain, yesterday
added that 1--WE could not tell your
President his credentials were unac-
ceptable when he came to the peace
table, although we knew the American
people would not back his high minded
but idealistic plan, and we found our
judgment sustained when the issue was
placed before the American nation"
lie said, however, that former Presi-
dent Wilson lived far in advance of the
political life of the United States.
Lord Birkenhead spoke before a
luncheon of the Rotary and Kiwanis
clubs on the Versailles treaty and the
league of nations.
without President Wilson many of
the elements of the league of nations
would never have been written into the
treaty and most certainly article num-
ber 10 would never have beer known"
he said.
American men stood and sang "God,
Save the King" for the Earl of Birken-
head, who was the honor guest at the
luncheon.
VIII Cable to King.
The former lord chancellor of Eng
land thanked the Americans, and de-
cldred he would cable the incident to
the king at once.
Il could not but listen with emotion
TO the way you Americans sang the
national anthem of England and paid
the earl declared. II shall, with the
permission of the officers of your
luncheon clubs. cable the king con-
cerning your most gracious act
An outburst of applause greeted the
earl when he termed the address of
Secretary of State Hughes before the
convention Of the American Bar AS
Sociatlon as very memorable speech
and when he praised former President
Wilson.
The earl's reference to President
Wilson was the first public announce
ncnt uttered concerning the former
chief Executive since he was taken
70 task for what he said in Il speech
at Williamstown, Mass. last Friday.
Tribute to Wilson.
without retracting one word that
I said in my Williamstown speech, l
want to say that I have always rem
dered tribute TO the sincerity and
nobility which have determined every
act of President wilson," the earl de-
clared.
He has sought nothing but that
which was for the good of the world,
and I have never said a single word
of dispara cement of that great man or
uttered anything belittling his ideals"
President Wilson, however, was a
man who lived far in advance of any
thing which the political life of the
United States would permit, the Earl
added.
The former chancellor declared he
was not travelling fourteen thousand
miles to make sighting remarks and ad-
ntted he had often been in trouble for
his statements, but no living man in
Great Britain or the United States can
Keep me from saying that which i
actually believe and decide to say"

must get over there.
HE said that any one can swim
if he will only think so," muttered
the young Chuck, and drawing a long
breath he plunged in. My you should
have seen him paddle then! To his
great surprise he found he could
swim. He padded as fast as he could
make his legs go, and presently he was
across. He lay down on the bank and
rested for while and then went for
something to eat That very afternoon
he started digging his new home, and
there he lived the rest of the summer.
