HAS ADMIRATION OF WORLD
Capitol at Washington Recognized A.
the Finest and NobIest Building
on the Earth.

Foundations for the central struc-
ture Of the present capitol In Washing
ton were finished on August "a, 1918.
The old capitol Ind only two wings,
connected by covered wooden bridge,
which was destroyed and the wings
damaged by the British, who set fire to
the building In 1914. Three years Ia
ter congress voted to remove the wings
and build the new central structure,
which with Its dome was completed in
1929.
The two great marble extension
wings in which the senate and house
OF representatives meet were begun In
1851 and completed for occupancy in
1859, The old dome, made of wood
and brick, was torn away In 1855, and
the present dome completed in 1864.
The great statue Of the goddess of
freedom, which rests upon the dome,
was designed by Thomas Crawford,
father Of Marion Crawford, novelist.
Charles Bulfnch Of Boston was the
architect of the original central struc-
ture and Thomas U. Walter designed
the marble extensions and the present
dome. He was Philadelphian.
The total cost of the present capitol
was about S16,OO0.0O0. and 4 has been
pronounced by architectural authori-
ties. both in America and Europe, tU be
the greatest and nOblest building In me

and demand theright to get enough
out Of his business to make it a
success financially. And why,
pray tell us, has not the country
editor the right to lay up a few
shekels above what it costs him
for the everyday necessities of life?
Take the local case of the Clarion.
Numerous have been her editors,
but we believe we know what we
are talking about when we make
the assertion that there never has
been a man at the helm, of the old
sheet that has quit the paper with
any more ahead than what he put
into it, and the majority have
been worse off than when they
tackled the proposition. What
has been the case with the Clarion
has been the case of hundreds and
hundreds of other country papers
all over the United States, that
for years have been but merely
existing; burning the midnight oil
and swapping brain and muscle
for a SKINNED milk living. But
we believe that a brighter day is
dawning-a day when the country
paper will be placed on a par with
any other thriving business. The
day of the hand-to-mouth exist
ence is passing g.-Richland, Iowa,

in fact everything that goes into

ing the raise in postage each July,
we can see no reason why we
should take less for our paper In
fact we doubt very much if there
ever is much of a reduction in the
priceof countrypapers. For years

BernstorH's Wife Sues
u. S. for Seized Million
House Passes Bill TO Permit
Restoration to American
Wives of Germans

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Suit in be-
half of Countess Jeanne Won Bernstorff
wife Of the former German Ambassa-
dor in Washington, to recover approxi-
mately $1,000000 worth Of property
seized by the Alien Property Custodian
during the war was filed here to- day
in tho District Supreme Court.
The complainant alleges that none
of the property involved came to her
from German, Austrian or other enemy
sources, it having been inherited from
her father, the late Edward Luckc-
meyer, of New York City, an American
citizen.
The House to-day passed the Senate
bill amending the trading with the
enemy act to permit American wives
of citizens of Germany and Austria
Hungary to recover property contis-
Gated by the government, provided they
were married and in possession of the
property before the United States en-
tered the war.
House approval also was given the
Nolan bill extending for six months
patent privileges to citizens of foreign
countries that afford Americans similar
rights. This measure now goes to the
Senate.

concerned--i. e., in matters involving
the crushing Of revolts against the So
Wet power in the interior of the coun-
try, the Red army becomes increasing
ly more useless and unreliable.
$40 be sure, the Bolsheviki are now
Iesorting to the old, Czarist method
of pacifying one nationality with the
aid Of troops Of other nationalities,
but this method, too, is now losing it's
efficacy. The Red army, composed in
the overwhelming majority of peas
ants, does not want to fight other peas
ants, and formations sent for this pur-
pose very quickly disappear as a result
Of mass desertions.
"The Bolsheviki, realizing this, have
now quit sending Red army men to
internal fronts and in crushing rebela
lions are utilizing only international
(Magyars, Chinese, Germany formations
and Communist police troops. 1t is
not improbable, however, that should
any serious uprisings on a large scale
occur the latter categOries would prove
entirely inadequate and the Bolsheviki
will be compelled TO use the regularly
mobilized troops.
And this may result. as did the eff
forts to crush the peoples revolts by
the guard regiments in 1917, when these
regiments joined the people in revolt.
The very same unpleasant situation
may easily arise as far as the pres
ent Soviet government of Russia is
concerned" j"

Family Wants Washington
Burial Plot Closed to Public
Descendant of First Presidents Brothers Also De-
mands That Names of Conrads Be Removed
From Mount Vernon Monument

NAZARETH, Pa, Feb. 21.-The
Washington family want the family
burial plot in Mount Vernon closed to
the public. They want the names of
the Cenrads, who are descended from
some of the Washingtons, removed
from the monument in the Enclosure,
maintaining that some of the deceased
members of the Conrad family whose
names appear are not even buried
there.
These declarations were made here
tonight by George Steptoe Washing
ton, whose father and mother were de-
scended from two brothers of the ma
tons first President, He spoke before
the Colonial Association of Nazareth
Hall, school here.
Not Included in Sale
Recalling that the family burial plot
was not included in the sale of Mount
Vernon to the association which now
owns it, Mr.. Washington said:
THE family reserves the right to
close off this space at any time, and
the right to inter the two bodies of
George Washington and his wife-snd
once inferred, they will not be on view.
The association and the public have no
rights on this half acre. The associa-
tion, without any right, allowed the
Conrads to put the names of some de-
ceased members on the monument in
this reserved space. These names will
have to be removed"
Dealing with the Washingtons in the

the World War, Mr.. Washington first
pointed out that they had become n
large family.
Zone of my cousns," he said, "has
nine sons, and all enlisted in the late
war. Two went to Russia and four to
France and Italy.
"There are few Washingtons in pub
lie life. ! suppose that they feel that
the example set is too great to live up
to. There is one who is an admiral.
TIL Washingtons, you know, hold a
unique place in our history. 1t is said
that no Congress will vote to do any
thing for Washington for fear of
starting a precedent from which much
m: ut be asked. When our country en-
ter: the world war some papers asked
what part the Washingtons would
take; some even wrote to members of
the family, asking them. | will say
none replied. None asked for any
favors. Many enlisted as privates.
Greatest Act of Life
"Going back to George Washington,
did you ever stop to think what was
the greatest act of his life? Think it
over. ] believe the accepted thought
Of his family is that his greatest act
was to refuse to be made king of these
United States. Think what it would
mean to US all. What a difference it
would have made to this grand free
c,untry Of ours.
"Wc Usually think of George az
fighter and public-spirited man, but
bhore is another side and a mi ghty
good one, He was found of the ladies',
and had several very desperate love
affairs. He was a hard fighter, hard
worker. hard lover, and like most of
the Washingtons, was fond of his
,amily, devoted to his mother"

Player Who Long Was De

Charles S. Gilpin, negro actor, yes
terday received wire urging him to
attend a dinner of the Drama League
and letter asking him to be honor
guest at dinner announced by the
Civic League Cor the same date.
In addition, formal invitation
from the Drama League is on the way,
informing Gilpin he is among the ten
persons selected as the leading con-
tributors to the art of the theater last
year.
Just prior to going on the stage in
The Emperor Jones" at the Princess
The@ser, where he received an unusual
ovation, Gilpin said he had not decided
what to do about the dinners, but
might perhaps attend each of them for
few minutes.
Knows What League Means
"You see, ! don't know all of these
people very WELL" Gilpin said. 81 have
always been backwoods actor, be-
cause they wouldn't let me play in New
York. Of course, / know what the
Drama League stands for, but I had
begun to change my mind ABOUT that.
"The thing is don't care about
knowing people socially. I want to be
known through my art. I don't want
to stand out otherwise. And, anyhow,
what is there to know about Gilpin?
just the same, if these people show
that they really would like to have
me come to their dinner, and are not
afraid that would not know how to
act, why it would please me to meet
them"
Besides inviting him to dinner. the
Civic Club, of which George W. Kirch-
wey is president. asked Gilpin to ad-
dress 1t. It's letter was stoned
by Hershel K. Jones. and read in part
as follows:
