WAS MINISTER BUT
A VERY BRIEF PERIOD

Washington. July 1.-The term OF
George Fred Williams as minister to
Greece and Montenegro has been brief
bur has attracted much attention. A
few weeks ago President Wilson, Sec
retaTy Bryan and other officials wei e
amazed by q published report that Mr.
Williams had circularized the powers
offering his services as a mediator in
the Albanian crisis. State depart
ment officials said then the minister
had no authority to do SO, but had
been given permission to visit Epirus
and make report upon conditions
Secretary Bryan called for a report on
the incident and Mr.. Williams replied
he was sending one by mail. While
there is no confirmation more, IL is
believed in official circles that the
minister's resignation is accompany
ing that report.
The concern of administration Of
ficiaIs was increased recently by pub
lication of an attack on the Albanian
situation attributed to the minister.
So far as known the powers have
made no representations to Washing
ton over the ministers activities, but
officials would not have been sur
prised if they had. Yesterday Presi-
dent Wilson personally called the at
tentiOn of the state department to the
gravity of the situation and pointed
ont that no time should be lost in let
ting the powers know Mr.. Williams
was acting without the instruction or
approval of the United States. The
call for his resignation followed.

OCCUPIED CHAIR
OF JOHN HANCOCK
Before Him Was a Table on
Which the Declaration OF
independence Was Signed
and On it Was a Pitcher
Once Used by George
Washington-Touches on
Modern Patriotism.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Philadelphia, July 4-President Will
son attended the Independence Day
celebration here today, speaking at In
dependence square in front of the his
toric independence hall. The presi-
dent occupied a chair used by John
Hancock and before him was table
on which the Declaration of Indepeu-
dence was signed. On the table was
a pitcher used by George Washington
and contained ice water for the speak
er.
Advocating undermining of the De-
claration of Independence by applying
its principles to the business, the pol
lticS and the foreign policies of Am
erica, the president thrilled the huge
crowd.
The president touched on Mexico
the Panama tolls repeal controversy,
his antitrust program, business con-
ditions and his ideas of modern pa
triotism. Pounding his fist on the
table on which the Declarati ton of In
dependence was signed, he declared
Americans today must manage their
affairs in a way tor do honor to the
founders of the nation. There are
men in Washington today, he de-
clared whose patriotism is not shown
but who accomplish great patriotic
things. They are staying in hot Wash
ingtOn, doing their duty, keeping d
quorum in each house of congress to
do business. And | am mighty glad
TO stay Inefe ana SUCK by tnem, he
added.
BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
Touching on business conditions OF
the country, President Wilson said u
great many allegations of facts were
being made, but that a great many of
these facts do not tally with each
other.
Are these men trying to serve their
country or something smaller than
country" the president asked.
IF they love America and there is
anything wrong it is their business to
put their hands to the task and set it
right
Eighty-five per cent of the Mexican
people, the president said in touching
on Mexico, never have had a right to
have a look in" on their government
while the other fifteen per cent were
running it.
Now the American people have
heart that beats for them just as it
beats for other millions" Mr.. Wilson
continued. Il hear great deal about
the property loss in Mexico and l re
gret that with all my heart, but back
of it all is a struggling people. Let
us not forget that struggle in watch
ing what is going on in 'front.'
81 would be ashamed of the flag if
we did anything outside this country
which We would not do in it," the
president declared
KEEP OBLIGATIONS.
Speaking on Panama tolls, the pres
ident said the treaty with E-ngIan nd
might be a mistake, but its meaning
cannot be mistaken. and he believed
in keeping the nations obligations
He believed in keeping the name Of
the United States unquestioned and
unsulied.
