Washington Is Called
Father of Pan-America

How the inspiration OF George
Nsshing,on's victorious fight for I'D
city had fired the patriotism OF South
and Central American armies IN the
wars which resulted in the formation
of the Latin republics was related by
John Barrett, director general OF the
Pan-American Union, az the celebration
held yesterday afternoon IN the old
Jumel mansion, in 160th Street. Mr..
Parrett said that the republics 70 the
south of the United States regard
Washington as the father Of Pam
America.
The celebration, which was held I'M
der the auspices of the Washington
Headquarters Association. founded by
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, took place in the main reception
room OF the Colonial mansion. The
other speakers were Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske. Reginald Pelham Boil
ton and Cabot Ward, Commissioner OF
Parks.
As general in chief Of the American
army during the Revolution George
Washington was the army, the Con-
gress and the people, because they
were all directed by his mind as a CEN
trail power" said Rear Admiral Fiske;
"He was by character, training and
taste a soldier first, and next a states
man. But craftsmanship rests on MILL
tary power. Let no one blind US TO tho
fact that Washington was first in peace
and first in the hearts Of his country
men because he was first in war"
Mrs. George Wilson Smith, president
OF the Washington Headquarters Asso-
citation, presided. Patriotic songs were
sung.
