The Associated Press acounts of the Fourth of July in Paris were among the despatches thus deflected and de- layed. Secretary Baker said last night that the present arrangement is témporary and will be meintained only so long as is necessary to perfect d-satisfac- tory working plan to handle ter without imperilling thg American citizens.

London, July 6.—Speaking last night at the bagquet of the American society, the culminating event of the celebration in London of America’s Independence Day, Arthur J. Balfour, foreign affairs minister, said: “The whole world has, for the one hundred and forty-one years which have elapsed since the declaration of independence, watched with admira- tion and witnessed the greatest ex- pansion in population, wealth, power and material and spiritual resources in the history of any nation. We of the British nation regard this ex- pansion with pride born of the fact that the thirteen colonies were British and that it was the British wars with Spain, Holland and France which gave the thirteen colonies the oppor- tlnity to develop into a great coun- try without Europea interference. “We cannot look back on the sep- aration of England and the United States as one of our political suc- cesses. No doubt something could be said for those on our side who fought for unity—this is the cause to which Americans themselves sacrified rivers of blood. “The mistake we made was in sup- posing unity possible without com- mon freedom. All I can say in ex- cuse of my forefathers is that, utterly defective as our colonial policy was, it was far ahead of that of any other country. ‘“We have just been celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Canadian union. It took us a long time to learn that if you want to make an empire of the great Saxon race you must found it on terms of absolutely equality. “It is impossible to dwell upon how many lives would have been saved in 1776 if those who preceded us could have seen the true course of political wisdom and the people of a hundred millions and infinite gain if there could be no sting and no soreness of defeat or victory between us. But if I rightly read the signs of the times ctive:g.now being rec- oognized. ¥ do not grudge the glories of ‘Washington and his soldiers. I have no tears for British defeats which ended in the triumph of the Ameri- can republic. My only regret is that memory had carried any trace of bit- terness. Surely there is non on our lside. In true perspective the past should not interfere with the con- tinuity of history and the considera- tions binding us together, which cen- tury by century, must bind us closer. We are. united in a great struggle against power which seeks to destrov the root wherefrom we derive all our strength. Are we not bound thus for- ever and shall not our descendants say that the greatest result of the world war was bringing together in a common purpose and understand- ing the sundered branch of English speaking race? General Sir William Robertsor, chief of the imperial staff, in the course of a brief address, sald: This is a war of nations. Every sec- tion of the nation has a part to play. 1t is essential that England and Amer- jea work in full co-operation and without friction. I doubt whether the British nation has done its whole duty in this respect. The essential things are: First, the nation must give clear orders what to do and suf- ficient information to enable it tn carry out the orders; second, the or- ders must be obeved whether con- genial or not; third, there must be mutual confidence between the classes and the industrial population, as in the army and the navy. “America’s entry brings us fresh hope. fresh reserves of strength and power. Germany savs that America will not count. and T shall be greatly surprised 1€ America fails.

FAGTORY John Kiennell, Aged 15, May Not Recover From Shock. Believed to have attempted to ad- just belting upon a rapidly revolving | shafting in response to a request from a workman, as yet unidentified, John Kiennell, aged between 15 and 16 vears, of 12 Cottage Place, received probably fatal injuries this forenoon at the North & Judd Mfg. Co.’s plant. His clothing becoming entangled. caused him to be hurled to the ceiling with such force as to practically tear both arms from their sockets. Rushed to New B_ritain General hospital with both arms hanging by shreds of flesh, he was hurried to the operating table, surgeons finding it necessary to am- putate the left arm midway between the elbow and the shoulder while the right arm was found completely gone, amputation being necessary at the shoulder. Shock of accident, amputa- tion and internal injuries, it is be- lieved, will prove fatal. Beyond a statement that factory officials are conducting an investigation, the usual manufacturing secrecy is maintained by officials at the plant where the ac- cident happened. Dr. John Purney and the police am- bulance in charge of Chauffeur George T. Crowley and Policeman Axel Carl- son arrived at the scene about the same time. Giving first aid treatment, Dr. Purney ordered a rush trip to the hospital, telephone warning being sent ahead as to the urgency of the case.
