tice. be declared, adding that th«
"puny persons" now standing In the
way would find presently that "theii
weakness is no mateh for the strength
at a moving Providence."
The former PVeaident spoke stand
ing on his portico of his 8. street
residence and without manuscript 01
notes. His remarks consumed about
five minutes. They were the first
he had made on public question sines
ha was stricken on his league of na
tions tour of the west three yean
ago. This was his third publie ap
pearance since he left the White
House on March 4, (Ml.
The appearance of Mr. Wilson, who
• was assisted to the portico by a
negro servant, was the signal for
prolonged cheen from the crowd that
packed the street and overflowed on
aearby lawns and a vacant field. The
war time President responded with a
smile and a raising of hia conven
tional ailk hat. Mn. Wilson did not
accoripany him, but as she appeared
to assist him back indoon at the
conclusion of his address, she, too,
received an ovation.
Mr. Wilson's address was in res
ponse to one delivered to 'him by
Henry Morgan than, former ambassa
dor to Turkey, who declared that
_ the principles enunciated by Mr.
Wilson during the war would prevail
and that on last Tuesday it had been
demonstrated that "the people of
America are escaping from material
Mai and selfishness and are prepar
ing again to recognize their solsaui
tod Inexorable daty toward thals
fellow nations In Europe."
This reference to the elections
brought a smile and a low cry of
"boar! hear!" from the former chief
executive.
In his remarks Mr. Wilson spoke
dearly and distinctly and with much
of his old time rapidity. Necessarily,
however, there was lacking the ones
characteristic vigor of delivery and
Ida voice carried only sllghty beyond
the inner edges of the crowd. Th«
text of Ms remarks follows:
The text of Mr. Wilson's addreei
which was in reply to one delivered
en behalf of the delegation by Henry
Morgenthaa, former ambassador to
Turkey, follows:
"T am very mnch move** by thil

"It is a very serious reflection thai

"I think then we may renew today

celebrating the past The future is
in our hands and tf we are not equal i
to it-the shame will he ours and none
| others. I thank you from a very full
heart, my friends, for this demon
stration of kindness by you and bid
you and the nation Godspeed."
The singing of southern melodies'
by a chorus opened the program and;
Mr. Wilson then appeared. He was'
presented with baskets of flowers I
from Virginia, his native state; New 1
1 Jersey, his home state, and the Dis-!
I trict of Columbia. The former Preei- j
dent shook hands with each of the
1 little flower girls and thanked them.'
The baskets from Virginia was,
presented by Miss Helen Trinkle,
daughter of the governor of that'
state, and contained a meaaage from
the governor stating that time would
j vindicate Mr. Wilson's memory snd
that his "fame, like truth, will be
eternal."
Miss Edith Edward*, daughter of
' the governor of New Jersey, pre
sented the flowers from that state.
With them was a message from Gov
nrnor Edwards, who said his state
joined in voicing "the sentiment of(
' our nation In devout thanks to the
Almighty for your restoration to
health and ability to receive in per
son our earnest felicitations on this
anniversary of armistice day."
After the program of exercises had
{ been concluded there appeared to be
no disposition on the part of the
. crowd to break up. Soon Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson appeared at an upetain |
window and were cheered time and
again. There was a final cheer for
the league of nations.
The former President, as he looked
I down into the faces before him oc
casionally recognised ekwe friends in
[the thraag. Mm waved to Pi Seidell I!
j Edwin A. Alderman of the University
of Virginia, and E. T. Meredith, for- {
mer secretary of agriculture, and one
or two others.
Before the visitors dispersed, Mr.'
Wilson departed for his accustomed
afternoon automobile ride and for j
several blocks his ear was able to;
| pass at only a very slow pace ;
through the crowds pressing on each;
side of the street.

Clemenceau's statement was given

MANY EXPOSED TO

Forty Potmm To Toko Pw

Is RospooaibW
Goldsboro, Nov. 10.—Forty people
near GrctnlMf tun been axpoaed to
rmblM by drinking milk or hairing
contact with a cow owned by W. P.
flinnant, it wsa stated yeaterday, by
Dr. J. A. Ellington, health officer and
an to take treatment. Among theae
la Dr. T. A. Monk, who went to at
tend the cow. He thought at first,
it was stated, that the cow waa chok
ed, and ran hit hand down her throat.
Hia hand waa bruiaed and lacerated
In the operation. Dr. Monk finally
decided that the cow waa developing
hydrophobia, and ordered her killed.
Along with the other forty people
he will take the Paateur treatment.
Dr. Ellington said. An extra supply
of the terum haa been ordered to treat
thoae exposed.
"While it la a generally accepted
fact that rabiea cannot be transmit
ted to normal animals through food
containing the virta of the diseaae
unless lesions are preaent in the ali
mentary canal," says a government
health bulletin, "the conclusion that
there is no danger to the consumer
from the meat or milk of animals
that are rabid is not tenable, since
abrasions of the lips, mouth, pharynx
are all to frequent to permit of such
risks. The products must be con
sidered as. therefore, dangerous to
health. One case is on record where
a baby in Cuba devejpped rabies
from nursing Ha mother while the
latter waa In the early atagea of
hydrophobia. In this case, however,1
the virus in the milk may have en

This is the first time that Dr. El-,
lington has been called upon to rule
whether or not there was any danger.
of people contracting the disease
from milk. Re advised all of the
forty to play safe and take the treat
ment.
Dr. ElHngtam isWa Ifcatluii to the
faet that this cow waa bit by a stray
cur dog, and that most of the numer
ous eases of hydrophobia in these
parts, recently, are developed by
atray dogs biting people or cattle;
and that rabies are not ordinarily
developed by home pets. He advises
the vaccination of all pet dogs or
valuable dogs. "If a dog is valu
able enough to be worth having," de
clared Dr. Ellington, "he is valuable
enough to be worth vaccinating for
the sake of the dog. to say nothing
about the number of people and child
ren it will protect. Treatment of a
dog to render him Immune win cost
as a maximum only about $10." He
thinks that all dogs ahosld be licens
ed and vaccinated, or at least, rsus
rled if permitted to ran on the street.
Pnetoffite Opened 880 Milee

Ottawa. Out., Not. 8.—Al the re

most northerly postoffice in the
world,—Craig Harbor on Ellsmere
Island, only 860 miles from the Pole.;
Another new postoffice In the north-1
land is at Ponds Inlet, on Baffin Is

Canadian explorer, Captain Bemier,
during the latest tour of his schoon
er the Arctic.
An inspector and six men of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police are
at Craig Harbor, where they have
established a post, while four repre

STRICKEN DUMB BY
SWEEPING VICTORY
Republican Administration la
Shocked By Tko Democratic
Landslide; Opinion.
Waahington. Nov. 11. -Administra
tion leaden in Waahinrton ara fairly
staggered by the magnitude of the
Democrat u- victory in tha nation.
There waa no inclination on tha part
of any of thoee dose to tha white
hooaa to discuss tha sweeping Demo
cratic victory, and tha reaaona there
for, but tha (loom which hung over
the adminiatratian coterie apoke
Volumes. Privately, many "alibis"
are being advanced, the moat popu
lar among the Republic ana being the
interpretation that tha Democratic
victory ia merely a return to govern
ment along normal party linea, and
a disappearance of tha abnormal Re
publican majoritiea in congreas
brought about by tha Republican
landslide of two years ago.
However, thia ia not sufficient to
explain the election of a Democratic
senator from Michigan for tha first
time since the civil war, a sweeping
Democratic victory in New Hamp
shire, and the result in OhJb, where
the Harding administration raaortod
to heroic remedies to aava the patient
as well as the abnormal Democratic
vote in other Republican atrongholda.
The fact that Senator Lodge man
aged to squeeze thru in Masaachu
setta for another term is accounted
for by the fact that hia opponent.
Colonel Gaston, has not bean promi
nently identified with the political
life of the state until recently, and
the impressive vote that the Demo
cratic candidate received waa mora
by reaaon of Lodge'a unpopularity
than the political strength of his
competitor.
The re-election of Lodge is en
couraging rather than otherwise, in
the opinion of Democratic leaders,
viewing the question from a partisan
angle. It insures his retention as
Republican leader in tha senate, if
the Republicans organise that body,
ministration could aak mora. As
long as Lodge remains the majority
leadership. Democrats feel that the
hand of death ia on tha Republican
organisation in congreas. Lacking
imagination, and wrth no comprehen
sion of the country as s whole,
Lodge'a narrowneaa on big issues has
become a Democratic asset. There
are many far-seeing Republican sena
tors who would like to sea Lodge
side-tracked, and a more progressive
Republican elevated to that post, but
being one of the few Republican
senators to survive the Democratic
tidal wave. Lodge Is not likely to be
come reconciled to giving up the
floor leadership.
From an aannmsirmtion viewpoint,
the most serious and immediate *•»
■u)t of the rebuff at the hands of the
voters is likely to b« complication of
its legislative program for ths extra
sespion. The ship subsidy legislation
was widely heralded by the propa
ganda machinery of the administra
tion as a burning issue of the cam
paign, and the election result cannot
now be claimed as a mandate for its
enactment, as had been anticipated,
but rather the reverse. There will
be a vigorous effort to posh this
legislation thru the extra session, or,
failing there, to secure its paasage
at the short session beginning in
December, as it is recognised that
there will not be enough votes to
pass it after March 4.
The defeat of administration stal
warts like Frelinghayaoa, dePont,
Calder, Townsend and Kellogg has
severely shaken the confidence of Re
publican leaders in their ability to
put thra any legislation involving a
hard contest in the new congrsea, as
there is always the likelihood of the
Borah and LaFotlette elements, now
reinforced by Brookhart from Iowa,
charged with the enforcement of
prohibition. This was the direct re
mit of making all tbeae places mors
political spoils. The Volstead act
kept them oat of the competitive
civil service, and they became the
mere plunder of eongreaamen.
"Many of theee congressmen re
commended men urged upon thorn
by bootlegger constituents, and thus
the service has becoase permeated
from tap to hottaas in spits of any
■od intentions oa the pint of Coan

The question ia being asked. if the

it controls so overwhelmingly as In
the sixty-seventh conn ess, what may
be expected when the margin of

vanishing point ia the sixty-eighth

I Almost every organisation in
Washington with,a political ax to
grind today iaaued a statement ex
plaining what brought about the Re
publican catastrophe. The National
Civil Service Reform League, thru
its' vice-president, William Dudley
Foulke, an old-time Republican, laid
the blame on the rape of the civil
service which haa been taking place
under the Harding administration,
especially in the prohibition bureau,
where ex-bartenders with political
support have been appointed to en
forcement jobs.
"The only thing that contributed
most effectively to the Republican
defeat, especially in the east," said
I Foulke. "was the universal disgust of
everybody with the abominable cor
ruption an inefficiency of those "dry"
