SPAULDING GIRLS
END WITH VICTORY
Defeated Mortified High on Basketball
Floor by Score of
10 to 8.

Spauding high school girls wound NJ
their basketball season Saturday even
ing, when they won over the Mortified
high school girls quintet of basket
shooters by score of 10 to 3, in game
devoid of interest because OF its listless-
ness.
The visiting team had wonderful eye
for the basket, but guards on the home
quintet were covering so closely that it
was impossible for many open shots to
be made. The Spaulding girls kept the
ball in their possession a greater part OF
the time, but inability to cage the
sphere kept the score low The best
passing was accomplished by the Spauld-
ing five, as they worked together in
better form than did their opponents.
and picked out the holes to pass through,
while Mortified passed recklessly at
times and usually tossed the ball into
an opponents hands. Whenever the ball
was rushed to Spaulding's end of the
hall, Misses Waistrom and Gee were very
effective in blocking the free shots and
usually got possession of the ball so that
they could pass to one another until
it was within shooting distance OF the
Mortified basket, but Spaulding's hard
luck in caging the ball usually lost it
on the shot and the ball would be passed
to the visiting forwards.
For the winners, Miss Averill at right
forward was easily the star of the even
ing's matinee, as she made all ten points
for Spaulding, besides putting up good
article of passing. While nearly all OF
hef points were made from difficult
shots, she bad hard luck in caging the
ball, as shot after shot would rim the
basket only to roll off The entire team
played better than they did against
Montpelier high school a few weeks ago,
their one great weakness being inability
OF cagng baskets. For Mortified, Miss
Boynton at center played the best game,
as she showed excellent form in jump
ing on the toss up and it was mainly
through her agility in dribbling the ball
up the hall that Mortified carried the
sphere into their own territory at all.
Northfeld started the point getting,
when Miss Livingston made hasty shot
in front of Miss Gee, after two minutes
of play. The score remained in North
fields favor until the last minute of play
in this period, Miss Averill eaging two
hard ones from the side of the floor with
guard covering close. The second pc
Rod started with little pep and not until
the period was half over did either team
tally a point. Miss Boynton the North |
field center broke the ice in this period
by shooting one in from the foul line, !
bringing the score up to to 3, after
Miss Averill made two more good from
the floor, the period ending to g. In

Colonel William w. Harris, U. S. A..
officer in charge Of public buildings
and grounds in Washington, with
supervision over its memorial ercc-
tons. said In a recent interview con-
corning the Grant monument:
An Expensive And Elaborate
Memorial.
THE location of the Grant mem
orial is one of the most conspicuous
in the city of Washington, being the
connecting link between the Capitol
grounds and the great Mall vista lying
between the Capitol and the Washing
ton Monument. Its surroundings will
be open, affording an excellent view
from all sides, and the park-like space
surrounding it will take its place very
naturally and very appropriately in
the development of the Mall plan
which extends from the Capitol to the
Lincoln Memorial.

the most expensive and elaborate
mem orials in Washington, being ex-
ceeded only by those to Washington
and Lincoln. The central figure Of

same time an artistic conception which
made an entirely harmonious COM
position.
Sculptor And Monument.
This sculptor is Mr.. Henry Merwin
Shrady, of Elmsford. New York. a
young man whose work before this
was comparatively little known. His
conception and carrying out Of this
heroic monument, which is his great
est work, proclaims him no less than
genius. His entire time for the past
fourteen years has been spent in
creating a national memorial to Cen
eral Grant, which will be one Of the
worlds masterpieces in heroic statu-
airy.
The Grant monument occupies a
position in q square southwest OF the
Capitol building, now occupied by the
Botanic Garden, which will undoubt-
eddy in time be removed. In the
development of the plans for the city
Of Washington this plat will be known
as Union Square, and will be further
adorned with monuments to two Of
Grants subordinate officers. One of
these will be General Meade: the other
is as yet undesignated.
The Grant memorial is comprised
in a central equestrian figure of the
Union leader in HIS uniform of, Gen
eral Commanding the Army, mounted
on handsome battle charger, the two
subordinate groups, one on either side,

When the Mall is completed accord

England refused to recognize the right

Philadelphia. Jay was denounced as
a traitor and burned in eff1gy. Hamil-
ton was stoned when he attempted to
defend the treaty and the country
from Maine to Georgia was in an
uproar. Washington remained firm
throughout the tempest and after a
stormy session of Congress the Jay

youth Of twenty-eigh named Ed

party and was not disappointed for he
was met at Charleston with open arms.
On arriving at Philadelphia he found
an obstacle in the attitude of Presi-

without enthusiasm and while assur-
ing him Of the friendly feeling of the
United States for France gave him no
hope Of assistance in the war with
England. Genet, however, took his

To Be Completed This Year.
1.-THE delay which has taken place
in the completion of this memorial
has been largely due to the great num-
Der of animals in each of the groups
their being thirteen in all, each of
which must be studied separately and
in conjunction with the others. 1t Is
very probable that the main figure will
be set in place during the present year
and the work completed.
when it is completed the Grant
Memorial will rank as one Of the
finest compositions of its kind in the
world. 1t has been greatly praised
by sculptors, who are we'll qualified
to understand the details Of its excel
lence. The horses are probably the
finest animal groupings of their kind
ever made"

- HE policy OF our government
vi since we became an independent
power has been one Of peace
and amity towards other nations
and whenever there has been trouble,
we have generally gone far out Of our
way to preserve civil relations. This
policy was not based upon fear or
upon an inadequate conception OF the
dignity OF a great power, but rather
upon desire to allow other people
to work out their troubles in their
own way and when those troubles ran
counter to some of our rights, to try
in every way possible to solve them
through the calm and considerate
course OF diplomacy.
The break with Germany Is not the
first serious difficulty we have had
with a foreign nation for during the
administration both Of Washington
and Adams we came perilouslyl near
being drawn fnto a war with France
when that country was at war with
England. The French revolution made
strong impression on the American
public. Washington's cabinet was
divided, Hamilton being strongly pro-
British, while Jefferson favored the
French.
The Inpudence OF Genet.
In 1893 the French Republic sent
its first minister to the United States,
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-04-03

and Monroe was recalled. The French !
haved with more dignity over the !
treaty than did Monroe in Paris, but !
he did NEEDLE in American politics.
How Adams Prevented War.
Scarcely had John Adams been in
augurated when France began to
harass the United States Government
again by demanding the return Of
Monroe and the retirement of his sue
cessor, Pinkney. This angered Presi-
dent Adams and he decided to send a
special mission to France to adjust the
differences. In the meantime Congress
prepared for war by telling the militia
to be ready and by completing the
three frigates. the United States, the
Constitution and the Constellation.
The peace mission failed and every
thing seemed to indicate war with
France. Then President Adams with
one stroke appointed another minister
to France and the incident was closed
In peace instead of war-a peace that
has not been broken in a century.
Nine years afterward Adams was
asked what he considered the great
est act of his administration, and he
is said to have replied that he desired
no other inscription on his gravestone
| than this, Here lies John Adams, who
took upon himself the responsibility
Of peace with France"
"Fifty-Four Forty Or Fight
/ Again during the administration Of
John Tyler we had an unpleasantness
with England over the State of Oregon
and only cool heads prevented a clash
with Great Britain. Spain also claimed
Oregon on the ground of discovery.
but by the Treaty of 1919 quit claimed
her title to land north Of the forty
second parallel to the United States.
This left the United States and Great
Britain the only disputants. Great
Britain offered to accept the forty
second parallel as far as the Columbia
River and from thence onward the
Columbia River the boundary. The
government of the United States de-
/ clined to accept this as we'll as a
proposition to submit to arbitration
The American public was indignant
over arbitrating anything with Great
Britain and the political watchword
for the presidential campaign became
"Fifty-four forty or fight" James X.
Polk was elected chief executive on a
platform which asserted the rightful
claim Of the whole of Oregon to the
United States. The dispute was final
ly amicably settled by a treaty in
July, 1916, and again war was averted
by diplomacy.
The Rights OF American Citizens.
Franklin Pierce too had his Difficult
ties with foreign nations. One of
these occurred in 1853. which shows
that even in the early days the Amer
lean citizen was protected abroad as
we'll as at home.

to the new monarchy and it fell, caus-
ing the death of Macmillan, the new
Emperor. Lincoln always declared
that by ploughing around a delicate
situation it could be cleared up with
out an unpleasant break and in this
particular case he succeeded admir-
ably.
The boundary lines between Vene-
zuela and Guiana caused an unpleas-
antness between the United States and
Great Britain during the administra-
ton of Grover Cleveland and had 1t
not been for the good offices of our
chief executive. Venezuela would prob
ably have been gobbled up by Great
Britain. The little country broke off
relations with England when she felt
that she was being cheated out of her
land and resorted to public opinion.
President Cleveland had pronounced
ideas on the Monroe doctrine and
made an Illusion to arbitration In his
message to Congress. This body al
once passed q resolution recommend
ing arbitration and Secretary Olney
sent a note to- Great Britain to that
effect. The answer came back that
Great Britain had nothing to arbi-
trate." President Cleveland at once
sent special message. sharp in its
| tone to Congress in reference to the
matter-a vigorous protest against the
violation of the Monroe doctrine. Con-
fgress at once appropriated fund OF
100000 for commission to investi-
/ gate "the true divisional line between
Venezuela and British Guiana Be-
| fore that commission had time to re-
port Great Britain notified the United
States that she was ready to arbitrate
the matter and another unpleasant in
cident closed.
The dignity of the United States has
not suffered by reason Of these adjust
ments of international situations
through the acts of diplomacy. Our
government is perhaps the most re-
spected in tho world for It's spirit OF
fairness and its contention that other
lands and other peoples have rights
which the rest of the world is bound
to respect. and in according that priv
ilege to others, we have not forgotten
we have rights which must be con
! sidered and that we stand ready 10
defend those rights to the limit when
all peaceful means have failed to SCI
cure them
