It was Friday, under the sign of Leo. The US president was Woodrow Wilson (Democratic). Famous people born on this day include P Roger Peyrefitte(French writer ) and Safa Khulusi(Writer).
Arthur Conan Doyle said "Russia became a cesspool. Germany was unrepentant of her terrible materialism which had been the prime cause of the war. Spain and Italy were sunk in alternate atheism and superstition. France had no religious ideal. Britain was confused and distracted, full of wooden sects which had nothing of life in them.
America had abused her glorious opportunities and, instead of being the loving younger brother to a stricken Europe, she held up all economic reconstruction by her money claims; she dishonoured the signature of her own president, and she refused to join that League of Peace which was the one hope of the future. All have sinned, but some more than others, and their punishment will be in exact proportion."
