the demand Of peoples everywhere for

The conference was no; specially plan

il came into office.
The conclusion that the time was ripe
came upon Hughes suddenly, with a cul.
minstion Of world events. which threw
the question up to the United States. A
decision 10 call the conference forthwith
was reached and executed swiftly by
Harding and Hughes that same day, July
y.
The Imperial conference Of British Do
minion Premiers was meeting in London
with the heads Of the home government

days Of last July. And while there was
never any public, confidential. direct or

in fact, was looking TO the Dominion
Premiers in London TO save the situation.
The following bit Of significant and
hitherto unpublished information shows
the trend Of the American governments
opinion in the days just proceeding the
calling Of the Washington conference:
The question Of creating main bat.
tleship fleet in the Pacific, by concen-
traiing either all or the most powerful
Of the American battlcships on the west
coast, was up for decision by President
Harding and his Cabinet.
Because Of the delicate diplomatic
situation, this question is understood TO
have been passed upon by Secretary
Hughes. and the Navy Departments
plans are believed to have been moder-
ated, so that only the newest and most
powerful Of the American drcadnaughts,
the oil-burning types, were sent out TO
the Pacific Coast, 10 replace the older
ba,,leships. But, in effect, main bat
tleship fleet was regarded here as having
been created in the Pacific.
During the meeting Of the Imperial
conference in Londdn, Secretary
Hughes is understood 10 have made
plain to Great Britain, through his con-
versaiions here with British Ambassa-
der Ceddes and in similar conversations
which Ambassador Harvey, acting on in
siructions from Washington. had in
London with leaders of the British gov
ernmeni, the feeling Of opposition in this
country 10 the Anglo-Japanese Alliance.
Meanwhile, the British government had
ruled that the Alliance. in accordance

Ambassador Harvey had been private

the Pacific and Far Eastern situation
was being anxiousiy discussed. The two
questions seemed to doye+ail into the

Later, Lord Curzon, the. British Sec
retary for Foreign Affairs, conferred
with Ambassador Harvey, and, recog-
nizing the dilemma of his government, is
understood 10 have declared that Great
Britain was ready to have frank discus

Hughes that Great Britain was ready for

Hughes is understood TO have receiy-

But In all probability Lincoln at
Gettysburg touched his highest with
the written and spoken word. 1t was
great assemblage Of the wisest and
best of the nation. Edward Everett,
statesman, patriot and orator, was
the speaker of the day. He delivered
long, eloquent and notable address.
Then President Lincoln arose and
said just 257 words.
Those 257 words were not appre-
clated at the time. They were drowned
by Everett's flood of eloquence. Today
Everett's Grafton is known only to
students. Today Lincoln's 257 words
have been committed to memory by
the world.
Do not think for one minute that
Lincoln's Gettysburg address was a
happy incident. His letters. his de-
bates, his speeches-all his papers
proclaim his mastery of the written
and spoken word.
Nevertheless, Lincoln's Gettysburg
address is in n sense the sublimation
Of all that he wrote and said. 1t Is
the utterance of great soul aroused
to expression by great occasion. 1t
touches the heart. 1t satisfies the
brain. 1t is Abraham Lincoln him.

Lloyd George, in his tribute to Lin
coin at the unveiling Of the Lincoln
statue last August near Westminster
Abbey, used these words:
~ am not sure that you In America
realize the extent to which he Is also
our possession and our pride.
In his life he was a great American.
He is an American no longer. He is

!; True, but wordy! The same thing
was said better long ago.
There was o great lawyer who de-
splsed Lincoln, who had reviled and
l
ability and his patriotism and took
him into his cabinet as his war secre-
tary. The man entered the cabinet,
expecting and intending to run the
government.
Truly had Lincoln said, with a
task before me greater than that
! which rested upon Washington" That
task was to prevent the Union from
splitting in twain, to bring back the
seeding states by force of arms, and
to reunite divided country half slave
and half free.

of that task we all know. In 1865 Lee

tatives. If Mr.. Monahan's resolution
goes through, the portrait painter Sc
lected to make the portrait may well
feel proud over his selection. But few
real artists will be envious of him.
For Abraham Lincoln was so many
kinds of man that his physical body
produced widely differing Impressions,
even upon those accustomed to his
presence and familiar with the many
sidedness of his character. Moreover,
the whole civilized world has now
come to revere and love the name of
Lincoln and will be satisfied with
nothing less than great achievement
by the painter of this portrait.
This Is the moral of the recent con-
troversy over the statue of Lincoln
erected in London. 1t will be remem-
bered that the British government set
apart n site related to the house of par
lament and Westminster Abbey for
this statue. A controversy arose over
the choice between two statues. The
plain truth is that there was feel
ing that one Of these statues fell far
short of doing Lincoln justice. The
British government asked the United
States department of state to settle
the controversy. The department of
state referred the question to the COM
mission of fine arts. The commission
reported to the British government
that the "man and site call for a
statue representative Of the highest
achievement Of the American sculptor"
and advised Great Britain that "such
Is the statue of Abraham Lincoln exc
cuted by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and
erected in Lincoln park. Chicago" The
British government accepted the re-
port of the commission.
The world does not want a hand
some Lincoln, but 1t does insist upon
an impressive Lincoln and will toler-
ate no suggestion of the grotesque or
the inefficient.
Lincoln well knew the wide varia-
tlon of impressions his appearance
and actions produced. No doubt he
grieved over 1t. But his philosophy
rose superior and his course was set
according to his declaration:
"If l were to try to read, much
less answer, all the attacks made on
me, this shop might as well be closed
to all other business. do the very
best I know hOw-the very best /
can; and 1 mean to keep on doing so
until the end. If the end brings me
out all right. what is said against me
won't amount to anything. If the end
brings me out wrong. ten angels swear
ing l was right would make no diff
ference"
This variance of impression pro-
duced by Lincoln upon even the same
beholder is well illustrated by what
Col. Richard ]. Bright, long an official
of the United States senate, once
said:

no artist has recorded the drama
