William Fauntleroy of Virginia says /:

George Washington was the John
d. Rockefeller of his day-so far as
wealth goes. John d. enoe said he
would rather lose a thousand dollars
than be cheated out of a nickel. Well,
George evidently felt the same way !;
at least his letters so indicate. Yet
ne accepted no pay as q soldier, and
spent $4,000 Cat least) of his own
money. He was generous as he was
keen to get what was his. He de-
lighted In a good bargain. AS for eff
cheney, it WIS his middle name. There
never WAS a better farmer and bust
ness man, and Mount Vernon was a
model plantation.
George Washington proved himself
a regular fellow In these ways, among
others:
He played cards. and ordered a
dozen packs at a time one of his ac-
counts contains the item: Lost at
cards, 8 shillings"
He drank wine, beer. rum and
brandy-aiways in moderation.
He loved horses, and imported dne
stock
He was fond of fox hunting; his
pack OF fox hounds was famous; he
wore the latest and best in hunting
clothes.
He loved to fish. to shoot ducks and
to hunt deer
He wore good clothes, and insisted
upon having them to his liking In
every detail.
In short, the real George Washing
toni was not the mythical Washington
who has been foisted on the American
school boy of past generations. The
marvel is that SO human an American
WIS ever so mummified in land like
America. They couldn't do It to
George when he was alive. And 1t win
never happen again.

Man Is a careless creature by na-

his life when he should be most care
ful. Perhaps his carelessDess is only
visible In Its most aSgravating form
10 his women folk.
The imputatioD that II is con-

a man, while he may grow more
careful as he grows older In matters
affecting his work his health. possibly
his appearance, fails TO observe. self
centered creature as he Is. that a
careless attitude has arisen and be-
come n habit in his married life.
Before marriage mans every eff
fort is to please the woman: after
ward, to please himself, writes Lady

comes n time-some people call II the
danger year-when cigars, clubs and
company are first consideration with
a man. He makes appointments and
then tells his wife. where once he con-
suited his wife. and then made APP
poiptments.
Carelessness, that is all. But his
wife. whose thoughts are at times Wv
Idly retrospective. Is wounded on each
and every occasion.
The blatant cnrelessness of the
breakfast newspaper once started de-

A husband becomes careless In his

Implies that she is not worth the price

HARDING GETS ASSURANCE THAT
FRANCE WAR DEBT NOT
CONSIDERED.
STATEMENT IS UNTRUE
LAMONT OF MORGAN BANKING
FIRM SAYS NO CANCELLATION
WAS AGREED TO.
Western Newspaper Union New. serlc,,,

st. Augustine. Fla, Feb. 16-Presi-
dent-elect Harding yesterday finally
reviewed his cabinet decisions with
his campaign manager and prospective
postmaster general, VIII III. Hays and
received from member of President
Wilson's peace delegation assurances
that no agreement for cancellation of
the allied war debt was made at YER
sailles.
Details of what happened at YER
sailles as TO cancellations of the ten
billion-dollar war debt were given Mr..
Harding by Thomas W. Lamont, mem
Der of the Morgan banking firm and n
fiscal attache of the peace commission.
In a statement later he denied re-
cent stories of mysterious agreement
to wipe the war debt off the books,
and said he had assured the President
elect his administration would be las
free and untrammeled as air" in deal
ing with the question.
Mr.. Lamont's statement attracted at
tention, because of his intimate knowl.
edge of the Versailles negotiations and
because his firm is the principal fiscal
agent in this country for the debtor
powers.
Mr.. Harding is understood to have
discussed with him his own proposal
for converting the debts into negotia-
Bile paper. Mr.. Lamont said he found
the views of the President-elcct sane
and reassuring."

came ut Mr.. Hardlng's invitation. fol
lows
II found that Presldent-elect Hard
Ing wished TO ask me about certain
phases of the international financial
| situation which had come under my
observation during my attendance Mt
the peace conference at Paris in 1919.
i found, too, that Senator Harding has
been giving serious thought to the sit
uatIon and / may say that his view
| Is both sane and reassuring. He be
gan by disclaiming any ability as fl
nancier, but | must say that many OF
his suggestions were very practical
and showed the result of careful, coo
and friendly analysis
II was able to assure the President
elect that there is no truth In th'
statement being repeated that at the
peace conference there was some Sc
cret understanding between President
Wilson and his advisers and tbs
French and British representative!
that the allied indebtedness to thu
United States should In whole or ir
part, be cancelled.
at is only fair to say that from
start to finish President Wilson ant
his advisers opposed vigorously ant
finally any such suggestion of cancel
lation. To repeat, there was no com
mittment expressed or implied, neal
or remote, moral or otherwise, as t'
the handling of the allies indebted
ness to the United States"

money with which to procure the
same. Accompanying this official doc

note which began: MY Dear Thomas. :"
In 1t Washington suggested that JEFF

him. 1.-The men are deserving by hun

the character of the Father of His
Country"
And 1t is better understanding.
For the earlier literature and history
relative to him threw about our mill
tary hero of the Revolution and our
first President such an atmosphere of
saintliness and perfection that he
hardly seemed human being. There
was gasp of establishment when
giimpses of the real George Washing
ton began to appear. Nobody's feel
ings were hurt. The American likes
his national heroes red-blooded. The
public was soon asking for more Of
the same. thank you. Ii got more.
And when at last it became evident
that George Washington had the max
ings of "a regular fellow" If all the
truth were known, the American peo-
pie were simply tickled to death and
the hero of the cherry-tree fable forth
with took his rightful place in the
great American heart
Now we know lot about the real
George Washington, and every now
and then something new sees daylight.
There is now no danger that the awe
some mantle of superhuman perfec-
ton will ever again be thrown over
him. The Americans of the future
can know the real man.
And this is the added JOY of revela-
ton. The disclosure of the mans
real nature but adds to his greatness
With each disclosure the marvel of
tire greatness Of the man grows. That
he could be so human and so great
adds to his country's pride In him.
There is an old saying that no man
is hero to his valet. 1t is one of
those seif-evident truths that we nc
cept instinctively. Yet II is safe
wager that the written words of To
bias Lear are true. After Washing
toms service as President and his re-
turn to Mount Vernon, his CORE
spondence became so burdensome that
he employed Tobias Lear. native of
New Hampshire and graduate of
Harvard as his secretary.
George Washington is, believe"
Lear wrote after two years at Mount
Vernon, almost the only man of ex-
allied character who does not lose some
of his responsibility by an Intimate
ii
single thing that could lessen my re-
, spect for him. A complete knowledge
of his honesty, uprightness and can
dor In all his private transactions has
sometimes led me to think him more
than a man."
Uncounted Americans have Rugged
themselves for sheer joy upon reading
that General Washington got so ex-
cited over the disgraceful retreat of
Gen. Charles Lee at the beginning of
the battle of Monmouth G77S) that
he cursed Lee to his face till 1.-THE
leaves curled upon the trees" and then
rode his beloved white horse to death
In averting disaster. George was the

day That George Washington could
see red and swear so completely that
the army was satisfied is pretty good
stuff In most parts OF the u. S. A
The truth Is that George was con-
siderable of a fighter, and It's n good
guess that he wasn't exactly unhappy
during the scrap. He got his prelim-
inary education fighting Indians-and
