WOMEN OPPOSE
CRITICISM Of
AMBASSADOR |
Lillian Scott -Troy's Caustic
Letter on Diplomat Fails to
Please Local SuffragistS

The disapproval with which Lillian
Scott-Troy, formerly of San Fran
cisco views Ambassador Page and his
utterances. as expressed in a cable
gram and letter that she has sent
from London to President Wilson, is
not shared by all the women OF San
Francisco Her characterization of
the American ambassador to Great
Britain as ''sychophant. Benedict
Arnold" traitor" and the 'smudged
page appear to Mrs b. S. wilkins,
regent and leading member of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton. as .unjustifiable,' while Mrs.
Philip Bancroft, officer of th%
Women's Roosevelt league and prom-
inent in suffrage work, finds it "diffi-
cult to take Lillian Scott-Troy's re-
marks seriously enough to give an
opinion on them
SENDS CAUSTIC CABLE
The caustic cablegram and letter
of the same date were sent TO Presl-
dent Wilson by Lillian Scott-Troy on
December 5. the day following the
which Ambassador Page was one or
the principal speakers, The ambassa-
doris remarks evidently irritated the
lady considerably, as is evidenced by
the text of the cablegram:
Ambassador Page, at peace centen-
airy dinner in London last night not
only fagrantly insulted non-English
speaking nations but grossly insulted
the American nation as well. He said:
10 cd he
rience of Englishmen in generous hos
pitality they lacked the fine arts that
Englishmen had in many of the
courtesies of life.' If you do not re-
call this sycophant Immediately, the
American people should recall you
In her letter the writer says of
Page: Like Benedict Arnold, he
rushes into bitter and spiteful COM
ments on his own peopre jim order to
receive the crumbs which fall from
the social tables of Englishmen.
Can it be possible that when
Ambassador Page so glibly told his
snickering audience that "Aneri-
cans lacked the fine arts of English
men in the ordinary courtesies of
life. he had your excellency in mind?
This Page will long be re-
membered as the smudged Page"
CRITICISES PRESIDENT
The letter is a. lengthy one, abound
ing in caustic comment not only on
Ambassador Page, but on the presi-
dent himself.
Mrs. S. b. wilkins, regent and lead
ing member of Daughters of the
American Revolution. says of the let
ter:
II have heard nothing of this, but,
from the text of the letter. ! should
consider Lillian Scott-Troy's remarks
unjustifiable. can hardly believe
that the ambassadors remarks could
have been insulting to Americans \
Either she misunderstood him or therpI

tion. All Americans should uphold

Institution

San Francisco bankers were both
dumbfounded and amused when
shown Washington dispatch this
morning to the effect that Los An
geles and not San Francisco would
be selected as the location of a re-
gional reserve bank under the new
currency act
Absurd" was the spontaneous COM
ment made in each case. but when
they read that Secretary McAdoo
was declared to be strongly inclined
toward Los Angeles and that under
his plan San Francisco would simply
be included like Fresno or Bakers
field in the Los Angeles district they
unanimously decided that it was time
to set McAdoo right as to the facts
in the case.
LOGICAL LOCATION HERE
1t was pointed out with emphasis
that the geographical location and
the financial. commercial and shipping
supremacy of San Francisco made il
pre- eminently the logical location of a
federal reserve bank. J. r. Lynch.
president of the San Francisco Clear
ing House association, who attended
a conference in Washington of clear

Adoo three months ago, said that at
that time it seemed to be generally
understood that a regional bank would
be placed in San Francisco. even when
only four such banks were in contem-
plation

"Of course, we do not know the
plans of Mr. McAdoo here" said Mr..

Asked IL he would call meeting of
the Clearing House association to pre-
sent the claims of San Francisco to
the secretary, Mr.. Lynch intimated
that some such step might be taken.

The High school classes in manual
training have been busy the past few
days making cabinets for mechanical
drawing. Since Christmas the small
room in the Richie building that was
occupied temporarily for drawing has
been too small to accommodate the
classes, and for the second time this
school year the drawing room must
be moved. Next week part of the
former house will be fitted up for this
purpose and it is hoped that it may
be possible to resume drawing soon.
1t is doubtful if this arrangement will
be very satisfactory because of the
peculiar shape Of rooms in the house,
also because of the distance from the
