again in 1776. and finally In the Con-
stitution of 1887. That the forefa-
Tiers, with Washington and Jefferson
and Lee in the lead In the construc-
tive period Of the Revolution, proved
TO be practical men, rs well as ideal
lists believing in certain great princi-
plies that lie at the base of human
freedom, and established human liber-
ty under conditions that protected
each from the other, obliterating class
distinctions, is not the least thing to
their credit.
AS pulpit and platform draw the
lessons from what the past affords in
the way of men and principles as ex-
emplars for all time, 1t wifi be the part
Of wisdom if the simple, undisputed
facts as to what this great experiment
did set out TO do and has accom-
plished be brought home TO all. For
after all, it is the overwhelming ac-
qualities of a free government main
thined by a free people that gives the
luster to the name of Washington as
the father and founder and justifes
all that the most e%Xtravagant eulogy
may pronounce as to his claims to
an affectionate immortality.

UNREST GROWS IN ERIN

Dublin-Nine policemen were killed

Dublin castle also announced that
another ambuscade took place near

shot to death and one was seriously
wounded. The other man escaped.
Unrest Appears Growing.
Since announcement by General Sir
Edward Strickland, a fortnight ago,
Of a decree of martial law, the Irish

monition an Irish republican army
leader gave his men recently in the
Irish Bulletin, scoring at alleged peace
negotiations. The republican army
appears to be making determined
efforts to carry out that order.
Dublin is now a storm center for
Rmbuscades. Attacks on the military

The object Of the Sim Fein activi-
ties is said to be to force General
Macready, the military commander in
ireland, for political effect, to extend
martial law to Dublin.
Observers here point out that at
tacks are being made on crown forces

Some of them predict a dire event

rumor is in circulation that a "big

is reported that a drastic curfew law

claimed: Long five George Washington.

Washington Shaft
Country's Tribute
to Her Great Son

The two great monuments in the
United States, Of the many hundreds
that have been erected In. all parts OF
our country, are the Bunker Hill mon
ument, In Boston, dedicated In 1S43,
a shaft to commemorate the beginning
of our fight for independence, and the
Washington monument, at Washing
ton, erected to the memory Of him
who had been most instrumental In
bringing about the result.
For 80 years after Washington's
death the project was, every now and
then, suggested, but nothing definite
happened until September, 1888, when
the Washington National Monument
society was formed, with Chief JUS
tice John Marshall, then 70 years old,
as president. 1t was not until three
years later that advertisements were
inserted inviting designs from Ameri-
can artists. "
An effort was made to secure the
funds by popular subscription and by
1847 $4,000 vas In hand and prepare
ton for construction was begun. Con-
gress. by resolution, granted a site
where the monument now stands and
the cornerstone was laid on the Fourth
of July, 1S4S, In the presence of the
executive, legislative and judicial
branches of the government, foreign
minister's and officers and a vast con
course Of citizens from all parts Of the
Union.
The work of erection progressed
steadily until 1854, when the shaft had
reached a height Of 156 feet and had

Fleet Will Test Anti-Aircraft
Guns ON kag Men in Cliders

ners on warships after delivering an
attack.
Practically every ship in the Atlantic
Fleet will take part in the attack OF
the gliders.
An elaborate program Of aerial target
shooting and maneuvers is being pre-
pared for use when the Atlantic Fleet
goes to Guantanamo the coming winter.
Most Of the feet will assemble off the
Virginia Capes within the next few
weeks for preliminary target practice
which will include experiments with
gliders and box kites. The latter style
Of targets has been used in pervious
aerial target shooting and resulted in
excellent records for navy gunners
using small arms. Box kites are made
last TO ships with ropes and permitted
to soar at heights varying from 800 to
200 feet
The gliders will be larger than those
used in land maneuvers by the army
and navy. Each glider. it is said, could
ally cary two live men with utmost
safety. The eliders will be manufac-
tureo a. Norfolk and New York, and
will be shipped TO Cuba on supply

NORFOLK, Va. Oct. 1l--Eag men
will be used to man a feet of glders
that Will be under fire of ant.-aircraft
guns on ships OF the Atlantic feet in
forthcoming msneuvers Off the Viz
ginia Capes and Cuba the latter part
OF the winter. 1t is planned TO launch
the gliders from navy dirigibles at n
height of from 5000 to 5000 feet. The
rag men will be fastened in the glders
to prevent the machines from turning
over in the downward fight they will
take after they are released. The
presence Of the rag men in the gliders
Will also give American gunners using
small arms chance to prove their
craftsmanship in picking off crews OF
an aerial enemy craft.
1t is proposed to release the gliders
in groups of five. Naval experts say
the gliders. in their fight downward,
will maintain an average speed Of about
forty-tive miles an hour, about half the
speed an aviator in full flight would
average in an attempt to escape gun
