Today on the steps of the United
States sub treasury building, the ex-
act spot where Washington stood
when he took the oath of office
stands his bronze statue, whose legs
have been worn shiny by the urch-
ms of Wall street who have tried
to climb up to touch the bronze
hand of the Father of the Country.
The point today is called the mon
etary nerve center of the country.
The trees which shaded the narrow
thoroughfare in Washington day
have all gone, and all about are
buildings, whose stony monOtony
towers several hundred feet above
the scene. The land where Wash
ngton stood sold at S2.75 a square
foot at that time; today it is val
uel at $500 a square foot. and Is
one of the most valuable tracts in
the world. The buildings about 1t
are said to represent a real value
Of $500, 100000 and in their vaults
there ordinarily reposes about a
sixth of all the money in the United
States.
\ stones throw away, st. Paul's
church stands with its back to
Broadway, preserved just as it was
when Washington knelt there for
MS first prayers as president OF the
United States.

with a salvo of artillery and prac
tically all of the 10000 inhabitants
of New York and many visitors from
other cities thronged the streets.
The church bells were rung and a.
noon a troop of horse, two COM
panies of grenadiers and Highland
ers in kits, escorted the president
elect in coach of state to the scene
of the ceremonies. Livingston,
of New York state, ad-
the oath of office. Wash
ington's fervent response was met
with cheers: Long live George
president of the United
States" from thousands OF throats.
From Federal Hall, Washington went
to the neighboring st. Pauls church

Iery roared and bells rang through
out the afternoon and evening. At
dusk bonfires and fireworks lighted
up the streets and gala balls were
held. which continued into the fol-

pany phoned into the city this morn
ing that fine showing of oil had
been encountered in the company's s
well which is being drilled just south
of town in section 26 south, east
This company lost its first well at
400 feet, and the rig was skidded a
few feet from the old location, and
the new well started the first of the
week.
When the report reached Ardmore,
a number of officers of the Ardmore
Citizens Company, whose holdings lie
up against the Safe WELL within a
few hundred feet, engaged an auto
and went down to the WELL being
accompanied by representative of
the Ardmoreite.
They found that the oil from tn
well had run down the slush rim
for many hundred feet, and the OIL
seemed to be of about the same grade
as that found at Healdton. Right be-
low the oil the drill passed into u
strong flow Of soft water, but the
water and mud brought up by the
bailer still showed the presence Of
the oil.
The officers of the Safe Company
are much elated over the prospects of
the well-as are also the officers Of
the Ardmore Citizens Oil Company,
which owns large acreage between
Ardmore and the Safe well and the
rig for whose test well is Just being

BRYAN MAKES
 PEACE PRESENTS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. - "They shall beat their swords into plough shares"
 Secretary of State William J. Bryan had that prophecy of Isaiah inscribed on paper.weights made from the steel of United States cavalry saber blades in the shape of ploughshares. These paperweights he has presented to the 2S Ambassadors and Ministers of tho countries which have signed peace treaties with the United States.
 The sabers were condemned ones that Mir. Bryan obtained from the War Department. There was much labor in beating the wrought steel in- to its new form. The hilts of the sabres were presented to the mem. bers of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
 All the sabers were more than fifty years old. Most of them were used in the Civil War.

He had been promoting various Alaska enterprises, which have never borne fruit, in Seattle and the East.

LONDON TIMES SAYS
 BRITISH JUST STARTING

LONDON, Oct. 17.-The Times mill tary correspondent, replying to the FrGnkfurter Zeitung's statement that Great Britain was unable to raise more than 6OO,OOO troops, says:
 We have at the present moment, exactly double that number, namely, 200, ,OOO. and the number grows al- most faster than we can cope with. It is our way, as well as that of Amer ica, to begin to raise our army after war breaks out, and to go on raising them until our ultimate ends are achieved.
 With 100000 men at home, the army in the field and the hundreds of thousands forming in Idia, Canada, Auctralia, and elsewhere, are merely the nucleus upon which other armies will eventually be built.
 It is only a question of time. It stands to reason that an empire of have sent money etaoinshrdlucmfwy 400 100000 can never lack men. This war for us has hardly begun. We have sent merely an advance guard into France. In the Spring the remainder of the advance guard will follow, and somewhere near the end of 1915 the main body will begin to come within view.
 "We are sorry for the Allies that we are even slower than Russia in mak- ing our weight felt, but year or so hence, when the Allies need a rest, We shall be in condition to make good war.
 Nothing can arrest the steadily ascending figures of our army. Their cost is of little account since Ger many will ultimately have to pay in territory as we'll as money.
 Imagine things at their worst. I'm. agine the last Cossack on the Urals and the last French doorkeeper eyicted from Bordeaux. Then we would be- gin a maritime war against Germany and still be no worse off than when we began war against Napoleon"
