further tribute to their British COM

on the wreaths placed on an Ameri-
can grave in the cemetery at Alder
shot, where a detachment of guards
paraded and sounded the last post"
Premier Lloyd George in his mes
sage read at the Cathedral ceremony
regretted his Inability to be present,
but sent word that lin common with
all of King Georges subjects today. I
am glad to know that Washington's
name and features are now enshrined
forever amongst our great dead in the
crypt of st. Paurs''
General Pershing's message said it
was fitting that "the ties of friend
ship already existing between the
two English speaking nations should
in measure be confirmed by gifts
appropriate to the dignity of the two
countries"
Former Ambassador Davis in his
message pointed out how fit it was
that Washington should stand 'in
monumental form on the fruitful soil
from which his lineage sprang."
Sir Charles Wakefield, announced
as an ex-lord mayor of London, pro-
posed the donation of busts of Chat
ham and Burke to America on be-
half of the Anglo American Society
to be placed where the Sulgrave alk
thorities should determine. Dean
Inge in his address, said the assem-
blage honored the gallant Americans
who had come to fight for the lib

from the long struggle, continued
Dean Inge. looked for justice. under

reserved for America a preponderng
part in human affairs in future.
There can be no splendid isolation
for nation with such power and
such high responsibilities. The cause
of freedom and international peace
must be increasingly bound up with
the attitude of the American people
and their government. Another great
war in this century would mean the
suicide of our common civilization.
We can not doubt but that the Amer
lean people will throw their influence
into any really workable scheme to
end war and the fears of war among
the ciyjlizad pafiopc,
Ambassador Harvey, before the
unwilling of the bust characterized
Washington as brave as your great
Nelson, as daring as our great ad-
miral," with a nod to Admiral Sims.
The ambassador declared America
was not ashamed of being called a
melting pot. "As melting pot we
have never lost our perspective" he
added. remarking that only two
presidents of the United States were
not of English descent
Washington, said the ambassador
was a prudent, far-seeing, thought
full and kindly man, and President
Harding, he added. has many of
Washington's attributes.

Have You Piles ?

Thousands who have piles have not
learned that quick and permanent re-
lief can only be accomplished with in
ternal medicine. Neither cutting nor
any amount of treatment with ONT

ton is HEM-ROID. tablet medicine,

druggists generally. DR.. Leonhardt
tried it in 1000 cases with the marvel
Gus record of success in SO per cent.

Speaking of the action Of the Pts
cataquis Oil Co. in voting to make a
contract with a Pennsylvania driller
to sink a well on the company's prop
erty. the Dexter Gazette remarks:
Most of us have grave doubts about
there being any oil underlying this or
any part of Maine, but if there is.
the only way to demonstrate it is to
drill for it, and we are glad to know
there are men with money who have
the enterprise to take a chance on
finding it. Well all be pleased if oil
can be added to the many natural re-
sources of the State.

Someone in Maine may have a
similar plant, but Mrs. William H.
White of 80 Bedford street, Bath,
thinks she probably has the only
coffee plant in the State. 1t is now
in bloom. Mrs. White was given a
seed seven years ago at the New
York botanical gardens and out of
curiosity planted it. 1t stands four
feet tall, has beautiful deep green
leaves. which shine as though
vanished and the blossom is white
and very pretty. 1t now appears as
if it will bear a coffee bean.
