Historical Significance of the Year 1920

INTERNATIONAL celebration of the
1 tercentenary Of the Pilgrims. owing
TO delays caused by the great war. will
be largely celebrated in 1921 instead
of 1920. There are, however, many
local celebrations scheduled for the
year In this connection, an address
to the American people of the Sui
grave Institution, in association with
long list of American organiza tions
and individuals of prominence, was
read into the Congressional Record by
Fess of Ohio. This address says, among
other things:
1t so happens that the year 1920 is
donbly significant historically. In that
300 years ago beginning ON the Both
of July there was being held in
jamestown, Virginia colony. the first
