second bride this afternoon, Lady

reigning sovereign of Britain. The

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3.—Neither
tidal wave nor currents of seismic
origin, but some other strange force
was responsible for the recent wreck
jr of the United States destroyers and
the crash a few days later of the su
per dreadnaught Texas, and the steel
freighter Steel Seafarer, in the waters
off Port Arguello, north of Santa Bar
bara, according to Capt. Alfred Davis
a mariner of the old school who sailec
his clipper ship around the horn a de
cade ago.
The west entrance to Santa Barban
channel, between Point Concepcio!
and San Miguel islands, always ha;
been in ill repute among sea farin?
men, said Capt. Davis. It is said tha
no other point on the Pacific hav<
so many ships met disaster, and al
ways the cause remained a mystery
Capt. Davis said that he recalls £
great many wrecks along the coast,
near Point Arguello, dating back t(
the time of the mystery disaster o
the Golden Horn. Always, said th<
old captain, those who escaped aliv<
have had the same story to tell, of £
sudden fog, then without warning
crashing on the rocks. Invariably, h<
said, the navigators thought them
selves in midchannel their instru
ments showing them to be on a saf<
course when in reality they were man’
Smiles from their course.

:iVILIZATION DOES NOT COME
FROM KINGS AND PRINCES,
BUT FROM ON HIGH
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—Lloyd George
In a speech here last night made a
masterful plea for America’s aid in
restoring peace in Europe. He said,
“There have been times in the history
of the world where you have had two
or three nations that for a time have
been trustees for civilization. One
after another they have failed in their
commission of trusteeship, for civili
zation does not come from kings and
princes, senates, parliaments nor
from councils; it comes from on high.
When it comes, it does not come from
choice of people; it comes from the
will of God. That commission is yours
and ours today. You responded to an
invisible message in 1917, and we had
already done so; but our commission
is not fulfilled, the work is only half
done. If it is not fully discharged,
civilization is doomed within this gen
eration to a catastrophe such as the
world has never seen.”
