New York, April 15.-The largest wax candle ever modelled will be burned on feast days in the Vati- can at Rome to the memory of J. Pierpont Morgan, if the hopes of Father E. T.

 Guard Bank of England.

St. Leonard, England, April l5.- SulIragettes early today burned the handsome and costly seaside resi- dence of Arthur Du Cros. member of Parliament.
 Militant literature scattered about the grounds gave the police posi- tive assurance that the women, or their agents, were responsible.
 The house was destroyed. So far as could be learned the place was unoccupied.
 Loss at Least S50,009.
 Arthur Phillip Du Cros is the Unionist member from Hastings, an lrishman by birth, and has been a member of Commons since 1908.
 The house was the most preten- tious in a neighborhood of summer colonists and the loss is estimated at S50,0O0, for the furnishings were costly, and Du CrOs was known to keep art works there.
 Several explosions were heard while the house was burning, but the names had made such progress before they were discovered that the way in which the fire started was not learned. The house has been unoccupied for a month.
 One Fireman Injured.
 The women adopted a method often used by Burglars for entering houses. They first spread papers covered with jam over the windows so as to deaden the sound and then smashed the large panes of glass with hammers, the jam preventing the broken glass from falling.
 The firemen had barely begun the work when a series of explo- sions occurred. One of the fire men was struck on the head by a piece of metal and seriously in jured.

Things Political Should Be as When Nation Began, Said the President-"Stay on Peoples
 Side" Advises Bryan.

Washington, April l5-Delegates to the Continental Congress of the Daughters of the American ReVo- lution, which began it's twenty second annual session here yester- day, were welcomed hy President Wilson in his first public address since his inauguration.

 The president and Secretary Bry- an told the daughters it was their duty to apply the principles of their revolutionary ancestors to modern problems. The afternoon session was given over to addresses of vel come followed by stormy busi- ness meeting which resulted in an incomplete victory for the forces of Mrs. William Cummings Story of New York, one of the candidates for president-general of the society
 Mrs. Story's partisans obtained authorization for the appointment of collateral committee of repre- SentatiVes of each of the candidates for president-general to pass upon the seating of contested delegations.
 "On the Peoples Side"
 Among the notable women who occupied boxes at the afternoon meetings were Mrs. Woodrow Will son, Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, Mrs. AItss \ Mrs Franklin Lane, Mme. Chnda, wife of the Japanese ambassador, and Mrs. John Hays Hammond
 Secretary Bryan told the daugh- ters that they must throw their in fluence on the side of the people in their struggle for liberty.
 Then, and then only" he declar- ed, twill you be true daughters of the American Revolution"
 Factfunal differences were put aside to hear the addresses of the president and others. President Wilson commended the society for the splendid work it was doing in commemorating the attainment of American liberty.
 
 he said, "as part of the nations love of memory. They remind us of the things that have gone by and of the standards to which we must con- form if we would be true and loyal Americans.
 "T would not undertake, at any rate in a single imprOvised address, lo eof mn tho nonnnc Of A ,,opinou ism. Americanism is now of so many varieties among the women that I am not sure of my standards on that side of the house, and there fore I tread very gingerly when I try to set up standards there.
 One Canon of Americanism.
 But this I know: That so far as our recollections are concerned, so far as those things are concerned which we hold sacred in the past, so far as those things go that we intend to live up to and be worthy of there is only one canon of Americanism. And the real, con- stant difficulty of American poli- tics is to bring it back so that it will square with the standard set up at the first when the revolution was fought out and an independent nation was established in America.
 The dignity of your organization is measured by the dignity of tra- ditions which you are organized to maintain. Therefore the American revolution is worth remembering, because it is one of the few strug- gles in the history of the world which was entirely devoted to the establishment of liberty"
