WASH|NCTON'S RECIPE
FOR HOMEMADE BEER
Interesting Extract From a Re
Gently Discovered Notebook
Kept by Him.
New York sun.

New York SUN.
The New York Public. Library in its
bulletin, announces n most interesting
manuscript discovery. Somebody sent to
the library an old notebook which appear
ed to contain a roster of the regiments
raised in Virginia in 1857 for the last
of the wars between the English and the
French of Canada. An examination oi
the relic by Mr. Victor Hugo Paitslts,
keeper of manuscripts In the library
proved not only that the roster was gen
nine but that IL was written by George
Washington. The writing has been com
pared with some of Washington's early
letters in the Library of Congress and ITS
authenticity has been confirmed devisu by
the foremost of Washington specialists,
MIR. Worthington c. Ford.
Colonel Washipgton's notes, made
in that period of his life which lay between
his defeat at Fort Necessity and his
victory at Fort Duquesne, relate prin-
cipally to military affairs. But as An ex
ample of Washington's spelling, punctua-
ton and capitalization it is best TO offer
the longest item in the book. II happens
not to relate directly to preparation ior
war:
'cTo make Small Beer

Nothing is said about the wisdom OF
using patent shoppers or crown caps.
Men of those stern days managed with
something else.
To many persons who burn Me mid
night oil in the cellar the item we have
quoted will be further proof of Washing
toms manysided greatess. Now that the
library has published its find there Us
scarcely subject of present day interest

writings of the father of His Country do
not shed some light and comfort.

Eminent Americans Who Haze
Advocated q LEAGUE of Peace

Q. Would IL not be desirable TO
promote better relations among the
nations through the development OF
international law than through tho
cOmpulsiOn OF lcagne?
A Undoubtedly. 1t is the hope Of
all those who believe in the League
that in the course of time nations
may find 1t just as normal TO submit
their disputes to international courts
of law as individuals now go TO
court.
q. What docs the covenant pro-
vide In this respect?
A. Article XIV of the covenant es-
tablishes a Permanent Court of In
ternational Justice which shall be
competent TO hear any dispute of an
international character which the
parties thereto submit 10 It"
q. What has been one of the main
difficulties in connection with inter
national tribunals before this?
A. The question of how the judges
shall be selected. The great powers
were unwilling 10 give equal repre-
sentation TO all the nations. The little
nations resented this discrimination.
Q. How are the judges OF the In
tcrnationaI Court OF Justice 10 be
nominated?
A. According 10 the plan worked
out by Elihu Root and his associates
the Hague Tribunal Will submit a
long list OF names from which the
League and Assembly Will select
nine.
Q. What eminent republicans have
been I'm favor OF "A league for the
promotion OF peace?
a. Theodore Roosevelt said:
1T would be a master stroke II
these great powers bent on peace
would form A league OF peace, not
only 10 keep the peace among them
selves. but 10 prevent. by force II
necessary, its being broken by
others. "-Theodor Roosevelt.
CD Elihu Root has said;
The allied nations in their coun-
Gil must determine the lines OF re-
construction. Their determinations
must be enforced. They may make
mistakes. Doubtless they will: but
there must be decision. and decision
must be enforced. Under these con-
ditions the United States cannot

People are prone to treat the
League as an academic question, as
If II were for college professors and
philanthropists. 1 agree that at one
time II was confined TO these people.

Cd Herbert Hoover has said:
las the covenant stands today
there is place at which redress can
be found and through which the
good will of the world can be en-
forced. The very machinery by
which the treaty is TO be executed
and scores of points yet TO be solved,
which have been referred 10 the
League OF Nations as a method OF
securing more mature judgment in a
less heated atmosphere, justify the
creation Of the League. To abandon
, the covenant now means that the
treaty itself will collapse.

and with a determination to free
ourselves and the rest OF the world
from the dangers that surround US.

two men ordered the proprietor and
two customers to throw UP their
hands. Meyer Friedman, 500 6.
Scott St, and Harold Teium, 1907 S.
Taylor ST, were a trifle slow to obey
They were promptly slugged over
the head with a pair Of revoIvers

the cab drawer of S45 and frisked
Teium for $3.50, all he had in his
pockets at the time. They then
dashed out to the waiting speedster
and departed.

At Muszik's store on w. Wash
ington av.. the bandits employed
the same tactics. They entered the
store and called hands up" pune
tuating their remarks with profan-
ity. Thomas Jackson was in the
store at the time, and was too
frightened TO put his hands over
his head. He stared at the bandits
one of whom sent a bullet into his
right leg, just below the knee. The
other man started for the cash
drawer but a signal from the wo-
man at the wheel OF the Hudson
stopped the proceedings and the
bandits fled. having failed in their
attempted robbery.

police ambulance and brought t.
Elliot's saloon wheree a doctor
dressed his wounds.
