called a meeting Of the cabinet. He
had prepared a number Of questions In
reference to the position of the United
States government toward the war
There was a stormy session. and
when it was over Washington gave out
his neutrality proclamation. 1t aroused
storm OF protest and was st1gmatized
as a royal edict and an open mani
festation Of the President of partiality
toward England Washington, how
ever, stuck to his guns, and the wis
dom OF his proclamation was soon vim
dicated. Genet in the meantime was
getting at the people instead of the
executive. He set about organizing
heet 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 he
came to America became one of these
privateers and arrived in Philadelphia
with a British vessel as a prize. While
this act was unwarrantable according
to international law, the people sup
ported Genet and gave him an ova-
tion.
The crisis came when the Grange. an
American ship. was captured in Amer
lean waters. The cabinet decided that
the vessel must be restored and that
the privateering business must stop.
This reused the ire Of Citizen Genet
and he wrote an impudent letter to the
Secretary of State protesting vehe-
mently against what he termed inter-
ference with the privateers at sea, most
VI Wnlcn were manned by Americans
he had hired in the states, and besides.
while Washington was at Mount Ver-
non attending to private affairs, Genet
began to mt out a captured British ves-
sci as privateer.

orders to Gov. Miff1in to stop Genet.
stormy scene occurred during which
the governor ordered the militia to
take charge of the vessel. Genet
stormed and abused Washington and
the government. while Jefferson tried
In vain to quiet the Frenchman, but
before the privateer attempted to sail
Washington returned to Philadelphia
and took up the matter. Genet had now
become SO insolent that the whole af-
fair was reviewed in the cabinet meet
ing and 1t was determined to ask
France to recall the minister.
During this meeting Washington,
wearied by the dissension In his cab
met and sensitive over stories which
had appeared in the press. became
angry and made a speech to the cabi-
net In which he defied any man on
earth to produce one single act OF his

Although she was a doting grand
mother, Martha Washington was none
the less severe on lovely Nellie. of

The celebration of Washington's
birthday as a day of national rejoicing
was observed as early as 1884, and the
general expressed sincere appreciation
of the honor. The town of Alexandra,
Va, had the distinction of instituting
the -birthnight ball." which was later
generally given in the larger cities
throughout the country on the night
of washington's birthday anniversary
The President and Mrs. Washing
ton made it a point of etiquette to at
tend these balls when in a city. the
President walking through the stately
minuet or taking the more sprightly
figures of the lively contradance with
notable grace. On the last birthday
celebrated in his life he received the
usual invitation to attend the birth
night ball given in the City Hotel in
Alexandria. but he declined the favor.

III " pean conflict the United States
III III government has tried to main
- tain strict neutrality. There
have been only few occasions in our
history where our Presidents have been
confronted with such delicate situa-
tions. Washington. our first President,
was not free from embarrassment on
this subject, particularly perplexing to
him because of the lack of concord
in his cabinet. II was with sincere re-
iuctance that Washington accepted the
office of chief executive for a second
term. His nephew. who had been at
tending 10 the Mount Vernon estate,
died and Washington WAS anxious TO
retire to the estate and give il his at
tention However, he felt II his duty
TO serve the people for another term
Early in April. 1893, he learned that
France had declared war against Eng
land and Holland, and il was feared
that this meant a general European
war Almost simultaneously with this
came the news that King Louis had
been beheaded by order of the national
convention of France Washington
watched the effect of the news OF the
workings of the French on the people
with no little anxiety. and when IL be-
came known TO the public that France
and England were at war hundreds of
Americans declared that il was the
duty of the new country to come out as
an ally Of France, and all sorts of cell
ebrations were held in honor of that
country.
In Boston there was a barbecue. An

with hags and then drawn through the
streets on car pulled by sixteen
horses The flags of France and the
United States were fastened to the
horns of the animals Hogsheads of
bread and barrels of punch followed
in carts. AT the same time there was
banquet at Faneuil Hall. and children
paraded the streets wearing caps bear
ing the words Liberty and Equality"
The news of the execution Of the king
was cheersd by the republican party,
and the jingoes made speeches begging
the people to insist upon taking up
arms with France against England.
While all this was going on Edmund

republic Citizen Genet" arrived

ard. while he had none of the insoience o.
his predecessor, in his subtle way ne kept
up the sympathy for France ana the
hatred for Great Britain.
Mr. Jay had been sent to Great Britain
with a treaty by which Washington hoped
to avert war The opposition press st
washington's policies were ridiculed In
inflammatory editorials. but still the
President persevered in what he deemed
to be right and fair to all Cartoons be-
as the price paid for English gold. Pub
lie meetings were held and the treaty de-
nounced. At one place the British flag
was trailed in the dust and then burned
at the door Of the British consulate.
The President was. of course. not un-
mindful of these popular outbursts. yet
he never turned from his conception or
met meetings displayed rare Judgment
and counseled impartiality: "Our neu-
trality will be preserved" he said. Jef.

to give up and made long speeches
against Great Britain, and. to use the
expression of Vice President Adams.
"the treaty was mauied and abused.
However, war had been averted and
Washington's neutrality plans had car
ried.
There is little wonder after such an
experience that in his farewell address
he bade his fellow countrymen be

Throughout his entire second admin

him to lay them before Congress-. but
Jefferson answered him in a spirited letter
in which he made 1t plain that no further
