WASHINGTON rHRIFToeRAPHs

The 1S7th anniversary of George Washington's birthday is being cele- brated today. Washington, the sue cessful builder of nation, gave voice to rules for personal and na- tional success which are as applica- ble in this 1919 year of necessary thrift as in his day. Here are some of his words on the use of money and resources that might have been written for the present situation in America:
 am no more disposed to squander than to stint
 Economy makes happy homes and sound nations Instill it deep. It is not the lowest priced goods that are always the cheapest cannot enjoin too strongly on you a due observance of economy and frugality.
 Keep an account book and enter therein every farthing of your re- ceipts and expenditures. Promote frugality and industry by the example, encourage manufactur- CTS and avoid dissipation. Reason, too late. perhaps. may con vince you of the folly of misspendins | time.
 There is no proverb in the whole catalog of them more true than a penny saved is penny got. Nothing but harmony honesty, in dustry and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy nation. These statements made by George Washington as to wise personal econ omy might be paraphrased today in the injunction of the national thrift campaign-spend wisely, save intel
 ligently, avoid waste, and invest safe Fly; buy war savings stamps and thrift

Cotton will again go down to its old levels And it should, for the south will not back to the condition of economic slavery that has existed for generations.

KAISER AUTHOR OF WAR,
STATES MONACO PRINCE
Absolutely Wished It, and Con.
Quoted 1t Himself in All
Its Barbarity.

"There is no doubt that the former
German emperor was the first and re-
spOnsible author of the war. He alb
sOlutely wished for it and conducted it
himself in all it's ruthlessness and
barbarity."
This is statement attributed to the
prince of Monaco by the London Nails
Paris correspondent, who interviewed
the prince there. The correspondent
recalls that the prince of Monaco was
formerly personal friend of Emperor
William, but that friendship was sew
cred by the prince in telegram sent
TO the former emperor in September,
I 1914.
Until a few years before the war;"
the prince is quoted as saying, 1.-THE
German emperor seemed to sincerely
wish peace and a renewal of inter-
course with France. I know this be-
cause l was intrusted with a mission
to try to bring it about. But at the
same time terrible megalOmania was
growing in him. He was anxious to
see Germany over all, and from the
day when he felt it impossible to at
tain this end by peace, war became an
obsession with him.
Il shall never forget the fury in his
face and hatred in his voice when, in
July, 1914, he told me if they oblige
me to make war the world will see
what it never dreamed Of These
words were hypocritical, because the
emperor could not pretend the war
into which he declared himself driven
was not at that very time being pre-
pared for in every detail"

HAMMOND IDEA IS OK.
CreWIess Ship Proves to Be a

Army and Navy Experts Report That
Wireless Control Is
Possible.

perts have reported the device of John

OF surface craft to be sent laden with
explosives against enemy ships a sue

submerged craft showing above water
only wireless antennae.
Results of tests were made public
In connection with the new fortifica-
tons appropriation bill, which carries
$475,O00 for construction of an exper-
mental submerged boat:
Secretary Baker wrote the house
appropriations committee, which is
considering the bill, that the joint
army and navy board was convinced
of the practicability of the control" of
the surface craft, and added that there
had also been demonstrations of the
possibility Of the control of a craft
completely submerged except for an
air intake pipe.
Before finally deciding on the pur-
chase of the patents for $750,000 the
board desires further experiment with
the submerged craft.
Construction of the submerged
craft, which will be about so feet
long by feet in diameter, will take
two years, according to Mr.. Hammond,
who told the committee he has spent
ten years and 100000 on his inven-
ton.
