"MONARCH OF QUITTERS."
MB. WILSON CRITICISED. SEEKING A THIRD TERM. (Received 3.10 p.m.) WASHINGTON, September IC. Senator Sherman, in the Senate de■bate, said that President Wilson had crowned himself monarch of quitters, unrivalled in the Western Hemisphere. "His silence and speed when escaping from his imperishable principles of yesterday are as abyssmal and swift as primal chaos," he added. A question before the United States was whether it would exhaust itself making the world safe for some nations or making the United States safe for the American people. President Wilson's hegira from Washington obviously indicated his intention of asking for a third term. No sacrifice evidently was too great to secure the League of Nations, not even the sacrifice of his pledged word. AH must pass under his epithets who will not respond to his flight into the dim world of Wilsonian dreams," concluded Mr. Sherman.— (A. and N.Z.)
