Perkins Issued a statement today In which he. declares President Wilson's note of yesterday breathes hypocrisy snd Secretary Lansing'a statement Vreathes Incompetence. Perkins' ststement follows: "Any schoolboy ought to have enough Intelligence and patriotism to blush with ahame at their actions." the statement said. "In the first place, the president's letter ' waa weak and pointless and offered a gratuitous Insult to the allies when he said 'each aide dealrea to make the riffhta and privileges of weak peoples and smaller states secure.' The letter bears every Indication of having been written for the sole pur pose of 'butting Into' the situation. No wonder l-ondon prevented ' the publication of the note on Its receipt. "When I read the statement Lan sing Issued at noon yesterday, I could scarcely believe' my eyes. It ibears all earmarks of 'a man who la rattled and Incompetent Within six or eight 'hours he practically took back hla first statement by Issuing a second one. Imagine our secretary of stats saying to the entire civilised world that he did not realise the meaning of the words he had used to an Important pronunclamento un til the meaning wat pointed out to htm iby others. "Mr. Wilson' note hreathea hy pocrisy. Mr. Lansing's statements breath Incompetency. Imagine the U. 8. standing Wore the world at thla great hour of peril and crisis, represented toy two such men. Sure ly our cup of humiliation Is full to overflowing." "Skirl" f the Bagpipes. It Is claimed for the Scottish bagpipe that It la louder than any other va ilety of Instrument. This Is probably because It wss originally designed to cheer the clauameu When they were fighting.

Out at Land'a End, where the storm beat the sea Into a fury, Joseph Antone, a Cuban, crawled Into a chill cave to die. A night above tbe howling of the wind and the thunder of the sea upon tbe rocks he could hear the Joyous shouts of Chrlatmaa rollick- ers on their ; wsy to the beaca re sorts. He crouched In his cave, like some atorm-drlven animal to await the coming of death. Joseph has learned that the world does not want film, and he has learn ed to do without the world. There Is an ugly, cancerous scor on his face. It is not pleasant to look upon. Joseph Antone has become accus tomed to people avoiding him, and hutting their eyes as though he were a leper. The 'Wind of Portland was chill. 8ome one told him that If he went to the south, it would be warmer and there would Ibe less pain. He might even be made well some day. He walked. For days he walked. some times food less, sometimes with only a crust. Three day a ago he passed Land's End. To Antone It seemed to be the only place in all nature more lonely than he. 8o he crawled Into the cave to die. But Antone was not to die. Mounted Policeman Dolan heard that a man waa living In the cave. eH arrested Antone who, for three days, bad not eaten and who wanted to die. Today he vai taken Into court Judge Fltxpatrlck heard the story and ordered Antone sent to the county hospital. XI::'. Antone Is not an American oltlxen, o he waa de nied fdmlsslon to the hospital. Then Judge Fit spat rick went Into his purse.' So did others. ; "I will eat now and gain strength," said Joseph Antone, with childlike simplicity. "Then I will walk to Los Angeles, where they say the air la warm." Antone hid his face from the eyes of the crowd and walked out Into the storm again. Hoaulam. Wash,.
