CHARGE WILSON
New York, I)cc.23 George W.
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. In tbe hand of a skilled per
former tbe strains of a Highland bag
pipe carry about atx miles, and uudor

NO XMAS CHEER
FOR JOE ANTONE
San Francisco, (Dec. 23. 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,. Deo 23 Two
thousand logger came Into town to
day and drew $300,000 In wage
from ' sevoral lumber companies,
closed for the holiday. Many of
them will spend their money here,
