studies of Washington have been too
much from those public sides from
which we view him as the military
chief, the inspired leader of the colon
les, the statesman and guide of consti-
tuition making times, the welding force
which hammered fragments of COM
munities into great nation; as the
first president; as the author of that
body of domestic and foreign policies
which he bequeathed in his farewell
address. I think it may be said that
if on the one side Washington was the
great personal force that wrenched
apart the two. chief branches of the
English speaking race, he was on the
other the greatest personal factor in
saving this continent to AngIo-Saxon
domination; and in doing that he con-
tributed very greatly to making pos
sible the wide-flung family of Eng
lish speaking nations"

NOTED ARTIST
DEAD IN EAST

known Here, Dies at
Home in East.
WON GREAT RENOWN

Word was received in Kenosha this
morning of the death of George H.

Sheldon Smillie, now of Pittsburg,
married Miss Alice Adamson, former
graduate of the Kenosha High school
and of the Chicago Art Institute The
deceased had often visited his rela-
tives here and his work as an artist
had been watched with interest by
many of the older residents Of Keno
sha. Mr. Smillie was known in art
circles as one of the best known Of
American landscape artists. His pic
lures had been accorded unusual men
tion and were in great demand in the
art marts of the east.
Won Prize in 1885.
George H. Smillie was born in New
York in 1910, the son of James D.
Smile, noted steel engraver. and d
brother of the late James Smile, the

envy and of the American Water Color
society. In 1885 he came into national
renown by winning first prize at the
showings of the American Art asso-
citation.

Merrimac River" was purchased by

AS MODEL CITIZEN
President Harding Praises ''Father of
His Country in Notable Ad-
dress Today.

Washington, D. C. Speaking to-
day at the exercises attending the lay
ing of the cornerstone for the new
Victory Memorial, President Harding
dedicated the structure as ga gather
ing place for Americans; where Am
erican minds begin the fulfillment of
one of the striking provisions of the
last will and testament of George
Washington which set aside bequest
for the founding of "an institution to
disseminate learning, culture and a
proper understanding Of right prin-
ciples in government"
The presidents address was given
largely to an analysis of the less we'll
known attributes of the first president
which he said, made Washington "on
his private and personal side, very
model of good citizenship"
"It is an impressive fact" Mr.. Hard
ing said, worthy of our especial
thought, that in the century and a
half since Washington became the
leader, the heart and soul of its strug-
gle for independence and unity, this
nation has so many times found oc-
casions to record devotion to the pre-
cepts which he laid down for its guild
ance. So today, after more than a
century's delay, we are. come to pay
tribute to the foresign which first
encouraged and endowed the institu-
ton here established = an institution
which is to be a monument to those
who sacrificed in noble cause, and a
beacon to be shed afar the light of
useful knowledge and grateful under
standing among men.

Circuit court opened this morning
for the brisk session ordered by Judge
Belden and promised by attorneys for
state and defense, and as the calendar
was called, William Keefes presented
himself and entered plea of guilty TO
the charge against him, of possession,
traffic and sale of intoxicating LIQUOR
on four counts.
Women Jurors Excused.
The case of the State VS.. Jack Kuz-
mich was the first one called, following
the calendar as arranged between at
torneys last Thursday. There are two
indictments against the defendant, one
other that of keeping d house of prosti-
charging the sale Of liquor and the
tuition. 1t was the latter Indictment
which was called for trial.
AS the jurors were called into the
jury box for the purpose of selecting
a jury for the case, six women were
drawn. When the nature of the indict-
ment had been told the jury, Judge
Belden gave the women an opportunity
to withdraw without further parley.'
is there anyone here who would
rather not sit as juror on account
OF the nature of the case? If so, please
stand"
The six jurors rose promptly and
Judge Belden excused them without
further ado, and later the remainder
OF the regular petit jury for the Octo-
Der term were dismissed after jury
OF twelve men had been secured for
the trial.
Men Are to Be Trusted.
The attitude Of the women Jurors
was considered interesting, as it indi-
Gated what position might be expected
on all similar cases from at least the
women Of this jury list, though it may
not be representative of the women at
large. Whether the women jurors were
of the opinion that they could trust
with safety the cause of mankind in
general and of womanhood in particu-
lar on so important question to the
masculine representation on the Jury.
or whether they merely succumbed to
natural shrinking from the sordid
testimony that would be heard, has not
been recorded.
All Attorneys Ready.
AS the calendar was called, as finallv
amended, all of the attorneys an
nounced themselves ready. In the ca
SEES where two defendants were named
on one indictment, Attorney Drury en-
tered an objection as the calendar was
read. Such cases are those of Horna-
eek and Filko, Joe and Ben Loef, and
the two Hrupkas. Drury said that he
insisted on knowing whether the in
dictmehts charged joint liability in the
offense named. If not, he said that the

Washington.-Great Britain's ac-
ceptance Gin principle of the
American proposals for limitation
of naval armament as it will be
laid before the conference tomOr-
row will be based on what are de-
scribed as certain definite modifi-
cations"
Considered most important among
the British is a modification in the
program of replacement. Instead
of fiat ten-year holiday during
which no new ships shall be built,
the British have in mind that the
replacement program be carried on
from year to year and thus keep
the shipyards from going to rot or
allow each country a one-ship
building plant.
The figure of 10000 tons of sub
marines fixed by the American
proposals, Great Britain's naval ex-
perts consider too high, as the
British navy never possessed that
tonnage of submersibles. =.
1t is said that Great Britain may
even propose the abolition of sub
marines and if she does not go
that far, will work for Limitation
of their size and armament.
The British experts feel that the
limitations for airpIane carriers
give the United States some ad-
vantage because the British al
ready have a number which will
become obsolete while the United
States will build new ones of a
superior character,
The British argument is that if
fiat holiday of ten years goes
into effect, the organizations for
ship building will have to be MAIN
tanned none the less at tremendous
expense to take up the replacement
program at the end of the ten-year
holiday. Then, they argue, would
follow another holiday and then
another burst of building.
The British viewpoint is that
while ornaments themselves are
being reduced there should also be
a strict reducing in armament
plants but that facilities for car
rying on a small replacement pro-
gram should remain in a state of
reasonable efficiency.
The British would like to see the
replacement program made more
elastic and spread over a term of
years.
