...generations? Why, it has been the dream of the friends of humanity through all the ages. ..." Although the intentions of Mr. Wilson regarding the League were and are as sterling in quality as they were integral in composition, it remains in fact that Mr. Wilson is probably the most misunderstood man in the world. His speeches, as set forth in Mr. Foley's book, were delivered to the Foreign Relations Committee of the U. S. Senate and in 37 addresses to the people of the U.

He further made it plain that when he asked the operators to stop checking off rent and supplies, from the miners' wages he did not mean...
...Winter Comes. A fairly skillfull adaptation of A. S. M. Hutchinson's famous novel, distinguished by the acting of Cyril Maude. The marital tragedy of a kindly, humorous and thoroughly ineffectual man, whose motives are constantly misunderstood by a shrewish wife. The best part of" the book is left out because of the alleged superior dramatic effectiveness of melodramatic incident, and the episodes featuring the comic servants High Jinks and Low Jinks are underplayed, but a sustained interest and suspense is maintained nevertheless. A competent caste helps to revive enthusiasm for the dramatic version of last year's literary sensation...
