Washington seems to have had little faith in the leaders of the French Revolution and still less in Genet, and when he heard of the activities of the new diplomat he at once called a meeting of the cabinet. He had prepared a number of questions in reference to the position of the United Government toward the war. There was a stormy session, and when it was over Washington gave out his neutrality proclamation. 1t aroused a storm of protest and was stigma tized as royal edict and an open manifestation of the President of par tiality toward England. Washington, however, stuck to his guns, and the wisdom of his proclamation was soon was getting at the people instead of the executive. He set about organ izinS a fleet of privateers. fitting them out at Charleston. where he landed, and then made himself the court to decide upon the plunder. The ship upon which The came to America be- came one of these privateers and ars rived in Philadelphia with a British vessel as prize. While this act was unwarra ntable according to interna- tional law. the people supported Genet and gave him an ovation.
 American Ship Seized. ....-.
 The crisis came when the Grange" an American ship. was captured in American waters. The cabinet de- -ided that tho vessel must be restored

ter. It was also agreed that com pensation had to be made to the own CTS of the British vessels captured by the French privateers fitted out in the United States previous to the notice given to Genet.
 England Gives Trouble.
 Great Britain, too, gave Washing ton no little trouble, for that Gov crnment paid no attention to the rights of r1eutrals on the high seas. and began to capture French goods sent by American ships, and from time to time seized foodstuffs with a determination to starvc out the French Revolutionists-the same tactics they are using today in trying 10 starve out Germany. Still q more serious ground for complaint was the fact that whenever 8 Dii-.sh born sea- man was found upon the captured vessel he was taken Hif and many of

and when 1t became known to the public that France and England were at war hundreds of Americans de- clared that 1t was the duty of the new country to come out as an ally of France and all sorts of celebrations were held in honor of that country. In Boston there was barbecue. An OK was roasted whole, then decorated with flags and then drawn through the streets on 8 car pulled by sixteen horses. The flags of France and the United States were fastened to the horns of the animal. Hogshead of bread and barrels of punch followed in carts. At the same time there was a banquet at Faneuil Hall and chill dren paraded the streets wearing caps bearing the words Liberty and Equality" The news of the execu- ton of the king was cheered by the Republican party and the jingoes made speeches begging the people to insist upon taking up arms with France against England.
 Activities of Genet.
 While all this was going on Ed mund Charles Genet, known to the French Republic as "Citizen Genet" sent to supersede M. Ternant, who represented the French nmonarchy. This, suave, -- cultivated man spoke English fuently and he soon started campaign to influence public opin- ion which was nothing less than open intrigue against tn. adinillietr. on.

 The gas range requires so much less attention than the old coal range that some folks forget it requires any atteition at all. Like any implement it will work better and last longer if it is kept clean. The principal enemy of the gas stove is rust. When lusting of the sheet metal parts is prevented, the life of the stove is practically unlimited. Rust is due to moisture. The moisture may be roticed when a burner, especially the oven burner, is lighted.
 When the oven lining is cold, mois- ture will condense and gradually the sheet metal will assume a rusty Sol2r, which will increase as the use Of the oven continues, if nothing is cone to prevent it. Such rustlng can be prevented by cbeying these rules: Leave the door of the oven slightly tor few moments after the burn CTS are first lighted. This permits the escape of the greater portion Of the moisture produced by combus- 'lon and prevents too rapid condensa' tion.
 Oven Innings are lest protected from rust by the application of oil or grease free from salt, Whlca hastens any tendency to rust. This should be done as often as is found necessary. and is done best when the oven is hot. Too much of the oil or grease will cause the oven to smoke when it is next heated. 4 greasy cloth used frequently is sui flcient.
 When the range is i'll constant use, the burners and all the cast iron parts are best protected by wipins eff with the dish cloth after washing the dishes in the same manner as one would wash the frying or broilins pan.
 Stove backing should not be used tc brighten up'' the burners, as the small burner parts easily become clogged;swhich prevents good combus- ton S.Ayhen >ythe burners do be- come obstructedA ffrom4,ss any; cause theys should sbelbc ifeds in1 strong soda waNr, s6ayefully& 77tslsed, %swiped dry and piled to Spreveht.

our shipS were crippled at sea by the loss of men. As ii was difficult to distinguish an EngliShman from an American the latter were frequently dragged from the ships and sent to English prisons. This behavior on the part of England only added sym pathy to the French cause and despite the insults offered to our President by Genet the people still clamored for war against England in the cause of France. Finally Jefferson became dis guStCd with the behavior of Genet, and by letters and speeches brought the people back to right thinking.
 The Won rapcn letters and the Boy Ed activities were child's play as com- pared with the uttcranccs and beha- Vior of Genet, who made open fun of Washington and used the press of the land to assist him. Jeffcrson's last official act was a rebulte to Genet. IhlS occurred when the Fronchman had tho impudenco to send Jefferson a translation of the Orders of the Executive Council of France. asking him to lay them before Congress, but Jefferson answered him in spirit ed letter in which he made it plain that no further Interference would be tol- erated All this time England was harrasSing our ships on the high seas and despite Washingion's fight for neutrality his proclamation was vio- lated again and again and it seemed that war with Great Britain was in- eVtable. Tri-color cockadcs were now seen everywhere and great ex- citcmcnt prevailed. Fauchot, who had succeeded Genet, was a keen dip lomat, and while he had none of the insolence of his predecessor in his subtle way he kept up the sympathy for France and the hatred for Great Britain.
 MT. Jay had been sent to Great Britain with a treaty by which Wash iugton hoped to avert war. The op- position press at once began a crusade against it and Washington's policies were ridiculed in il.lammatory edi- torials, but still the President perse-

 E Government has tried to main &% tain a strict neutrality. There have been only few occasions in our history where our Presidents have peen confronted with such delicate situations. F Washington. our first President, was not free from embar tassment on this subject, particularly perplexing to him because of the lack of concord in his cabinet.
 Early in April, 1793, he learned that France, had declared war against Eng and and Holland, and it was feared !hat this meant general European var.

and that the privateerng business
 must stop. This reused the ire of Citizen Genet and he wrote an inn pu dent letter to the Secretary of State protesting vehemcntly against what
 he termed interference with the pri-
 vateers at sea, most of which were
 manned by Americans he had hired in the States and besides while Wash ingtCn was at Mt. Vernon attending to
 private affairs Genet began to fit out 1 a captured British vessel as a priva : | teer. Hamilton, upon learning this,
 gave orders to Governor Mi1in to stop Genet. A stormy scene occurred dur ing which the Governor ordered the
 militia to take, charge of the vessel. Genet stormed and abused Washing
 ton and the Government, while Jef- ferson tried in vain to quiet the Frenchman, but before the priva teer attempted to sail Washing
 ton returned to Philadelphia and took
 up the matter. Genet had now be-
 come so insolent that the whole affair was reviewed in the cabinet meeting
 and it was determined to ask France to recall their minister.

of styles, as coats for grown-ups. All

1t is a fad of the season to have a

of the same material as the coat.

of the shorthaired and least costly
