val, be sent Immediately to a con-
ference. Upon the adoption of the res

DISCORDANT NOTE INTO PRO-
GRAM OF EVACUATION DAY
EXERCISES.
Publishers Press1

Morristown, Pa. June 19.-Rev.
DR.. Steele, of Philadelphia. rector of
the fashionable parish of St. Luke's,
in that city, threw a discordant note
into the evacuation day exercises at
Valley Forge today when he criticised
the first president of the United
States, George Washington. He was
the principal speaker at the exercises
and among those present were Bishop
Whitaker and many members of the
Episcopal church. Steele declared
that in his opinion, while President
Washington was an ideal country gen
tleman, 1t was folly for churchmen to
hold him up as an example. why"
he declared, "he would rather fol-
low the hounds on Sunday than sit
in church. He was not an ideal sol
dier either, as though commander-in-
chief of the American army battle
was never won by his direct COM
mand and his craftsmanship was not
beyond question:
When Steele concluded his har.
angue his auditors looked at one an
other in amazement and the next
number on the program was hurriedly
ordered.
