the number of cattle on farms has fallen

After serving more than twenty-five
years as rector of Emmanuel Episcopal
Church in Anacostia, Rev. Willard G.
Davenport yesterday announced to the
members of the congregation that owing
to his advanced years and weak con-
dition he felt he would be compelled to
give up the active work of the parish as
soon as the vestry could obtain another
minister. The vestry and members of the
congregation desire Rev. Mr.. Davenport
to remain as rector emeritus of the par
ish, and this he intends doing
Obtained Many improvements.
Mr.. Davenport came to the parish be-
fore the present stone church was erect
ed. During that time, besides the erection
of the church, Rev. Davenport has been
instrumental in obtaining many improve
ments for the local congregation, notably
the large pipe organ in the church, the
parish hall adjoining the church and the
rectory in Maple View place. Until now
the value of the entire property is esti-
mated at about $4,000. He also has
taken an interest in the foundation of
the Episcopal Home for Children in An
acostia, of which his wife. Mrs. Mary G.
Davenport, is the president and founder.

early. The sun had scarcely warmed the

nitude of an armys marching tread, and
then was seen parade of color which

Undoubtedly the display was finer this
year than ever before, for the simple
reason that gowns a la mode call for
striking contrasts.

was no hesitancy about having picture

Henry White, former ambassador to

in the diplomatic service, in an inter-
view, expresses his agreement with the
Presidents views, and sympathiZes with
his difficulty in filling the higher posts.

such a statement, emanating from the

last, draw the attention of our country
men to a condition which is, and has
been for some time past, little short of
scandalous.

PRESIDENT LAMENTS

Says Service Is Hampered by
Fact That Only Rich
Can Serve.

The declnation of Chairman McCombs
Of the democratic national committee to
be ambassador 20 France has been re-
luctantly acquiesced in by President Will
son. who recognizes that the sacrifices
which Mr.. McCombs would be required to
make are greater than he can justly inn
pose upon him.
That the diplomatic service Of the
United States is necessarily hampered by
the fact that only men who have time
and means to leave their business md
themselves able to serve the government
abroad is greatly regretted by the Presi-
dent. In a statement expressing his high
regard for Mr.. McCombs the President
discusses the diplomatic service. His
statement reads:
Matter of Personal Regret.
Il am sorry. indeed, that Mr.. McCombs
cannot accept the appointment to France.
was particularly anxious that he should.
Ny admiration for his abilities, my
knowledge of his singular capacity for
grasp:ng complex situations. my con-
fidence in his tact and resourcefulness, as
we'll as my affection for him. and the init
mate relations that of course exist be-
tween us. combine TO make my disap-
pointment very great. indeed. But |. OF
course, appreciate the force of the reasons
he gives. He would have accepted at an
unreasonable sacrifice, and l could not
further press the offer upon him.
1T is a great pity that the country has
to ask such sacrifices of those who are
invited to serve it abroad-a service which
every year becomes more exacting and
more important. The sacrifice of time,
of means and of opportunity at home is
very serious for any but men of. large
means and leisure and the diplomatic
service is unnecessarily hampered."
