Editor stead of London. Pays High
Tribute to Revolutionary Leader.

London.-W I. Stead, editor and
author, in a speech before a meeting
at Browning Hall for the veterans of
the civil war, said that to no man did
the British empire owe a greater debt
than to George Washington, 1.-The
greatest Englishman of the eighteenth
century"
Washington, he said, had indirect
ly taught Great Britain how to main
tain and extend the British empire
For these and other reasons" added
Mr. stead, 81 hope the signing of the
Anglo-American arbitration treaty
will be the signal for raising a sub
scription throughout the British en-
pire for the occasion of noble statue
to George Washington, the unveiling
of which. in Westminster, would be
the most dramatic method of cele-
brating the completion of a hundred
years peace between the British and
American peoples"
