Declaration Hidden
In Old Mill When
British Sacked City

In the dusty archives Of the Depart
ment of State there was traced today,
for the first time in generations, the
story of how the original copy OF the
Declaration Of Independence. the sign
ing OF which in l776 is celebrated today,
was taken from Washington and hidden
in an old mill when the Capital was
sacked by the British in 1914.
The story of the saving of this docu-
ment from destruction was unknown to
even the oldest of State Department
employees. In volumes of correspond
ence, however, It was rediscovered. 1t
Is given In the words of Gen. stephen
Pleasanton, assistane to the chief clerk
Of the department.
According to his account, on the ap-
proach Of the British to washington.
he concealed the Declaration, and other
state papers in coarse linen bags. These
he concealed in an old mill near Chain
Bridge, on the Potomac, Just above
the city. Fearing the mill might be
burned, he later removed them to Lees
burg, Va. There they were left for
months, until the British had left. The
Declaration now rests in Theoretically
sealed case in a steel safe in the library
of the State Department.

Following the election of officers a
poem was recited by Col. John A.

duction and was written as satire
on the Army Settler" The next num-
Der on the program was very impress

CAUSES ENGLAND
TO PREPARE NAVY
Ships Held in Readiness.
Cabinet Holds Special
Meeting.

LONDON, July 4.-The cabinet held a
special meeting today again to consider
Great Britajn's attitude on Germany s
unexpected action in sending war
ship TO Agadir. Morocco.
The government is not processing the
slightest anxiety regarding Germany
action, which has again intensified the
Moroccan situation to degree that I'M
doubtedly is causing some uneasiness
to the other powers who have not yet
forgotten the Algeciras incident, which
came so near to causing war between
France and Germany.
1t is learned upon the best author
ity, however, that the admiralty is
taking precautionary steps to have
the navy ready for any eventualities.
Englands decision regarding her own
attitude in view of her close alliance
largely upon whether France is in shape
lforcibly to resist Germany's aggression,
if that country violates any French
rights.
Premier Asquith today postponed un-
I'll Thursday his promised statement
to the house of commons giving the
governments attitude on the new phase
of the Moroccan situation.
Addressing the house of commons, he
said, said the matter was engaging the
governments most serious attention and
that diplomatic negotiations were pre-
ioeding W. ich he hoped would have pro-
crossed so far that ne could outline
the governments attitude and views by
Thursday. The premier's words are
generally interpreted that England Is
endeavoring to arrange naval COM
bination with France.

Frances Answer
Due, the Kaiser
DELAYS Cruise

BERLIN, July 4.-The Kaiser's de
parture from kiel for his North Sea
cruise was deferred last evening until
today. The official reason is bad wealth
er, but general opinion is that II is ow-
ing to the fact that Frances answer to
'Germany's communication regarding
the Agadir incident is expected today.
The Morocco incident, although il
depressed the bourse, causes no serious
.apprehensions in political circles. 1t is
believed that the solution will be found
in a new international conference de-
timing a new status Of the powers in
Morocco.
Although hitherto German official
circles have denied that this was the
object of their action, which was neces-
.Sitated merely by German firms re-
quest for protection, the report has been
circulated that two more German war;
ships will be sent to Morocco. This
rumor so far has not been confirmed,
but for q week several gunboats and
small cruisers, such as the Eber, the
lGeier, and the Pferber, have been cruis-
ing for an unusually long time on the
West African coast or in the Mediter-
ranean, thus being present in case Of
emergency.
This fact may explain the rumors
which are consistent with the calmness
of public feeling.
France thus far has confined her COM
ment to an expression of "disagreeable
surprise" over the dispatch of the Pan
ither.
