President's Speech.
The Presidents speech was as fol-
My Fellow Americans:
we have come here to say the
formal words of dedication and con-
secration before monument IN
granite and marble. But we stand
to say those words, in the presence
of another monument. which Is the
true memorial to the events we ceie-
brate. The real monument to the
achievement of Washington's patriot
army in the Trenuon-Princton cam
paign. is not in workings of bronze
or carvings of stone. 1t rears Itself
in the institutions OF liberty and rep
resentative government. now big In
the vision Of all mankind.
In the presence of such monu-
ment we can do no better than con-
secrate ourselves to the cause In
which at this place the soul of genius
and the spirit of sacrifice shone forth
with steadfast radiance. On on other
battle-ground, in presence OF no other
memorial of heroisnl. could we hnd
more assuring illumination for our
hopes. our anticipations, our conn
dence. Here the genius of Gen.
Washington reached the height OF Its
brilliancy in action.

Here his followers wrote their highes,
testimony of valor. Here liberty-seeking
devotion struggled through privation
and unbelievable exeation to gain the

Thither they trudged through storm and
torrent, but from here. in the hour OF

MAY MUZZLE o. S. ENJOYS.
Effects of Senator Watson's Crit
icism of Foreign Diplomats Seen.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

It's an i'll wind that blows no good
and already enough has Happened
to indicate that one of the unex-
pected effects of the speech of Sem
ator James Watson. republican. of In
diana criticizing European diplomats
for speechmaking on tre tariff ques-
ton Will be to muzzle American dip
omats abroad.
For long time the present admin
istration has been embarrassed by
the speechmaking proclivities of
some OF the American ambassadors.
The notable George Harvey at Lon
don has with difficulty suppressed
his desires for expression. Significant.
therefore. is the constant emphas sis
by high officials of the American gov
ernment that In asking the foreign
diplomats to refrain from discussing
the tariff and otter domestic oues-
tions the United States Is merely ask
Ing that other governments observe
the same rules and Instructions as
are In effect on this subject in the
American code for ambassadors and
ministers.
Restriction on Speeches.
Careful examination of the printed
code reveals the fact that all
speeches by American diplomatic Of
ficers are absolutely forbidden, except
and the Inference Is that the Ameri
can diplomats will even then confine
their remarks to comments on the
beauties of nature and the wonderful
opportunity that nations have nova
days to further the brotherhood of
man.
It's difficult to lecture an ambassa-
dor like George Harvey. whose po-
litical influence is multiple and
whose political influence Is multiple
and whose ability to express himself
is attested by a long career as a
journalist and editor-a master of
after-dirne oratory and satire But
it Is important to note that even
Senator Watson used in his speech
an illustration based on the .hy-
pothesis that Col. Harvey might
make sundry remarks on British in
ternal questions. The truth is Ameri-
can diplomats in the past have Of
Tended almost as much as European
diplomats here, and what we are wit
Messing in fact Is return to pre-
war normal in diplomatic etiquette.

Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor

the twenty five municipal Fairgrounds

benefit from this extra appropriation
II we open school yards in those Sec
tions where the children now must
play in the streets. running the risk
of being killed or injured by passing
traffic, said the supervisor.
AS soon as the appropriation bill
becomes a law Mrs. Rhodes will an
nounce the locations of the twenty
five school yards that are to be play

The regular municipal Fairgrounds
that now open at noon each day will
be available for the children at 9

CONFERENCE ENDS
TROUBLE AROUSED
OVER R|CC| SPEECH
Secretary Hughes Gives En-
voy U. S. View of His
Tariff Discussion.
IS NOW FULLY ADVISED
ON DELICATE QUESTION
Regarded Highly Improbable In
cident Will Be Revived by
Future Utterances.

The incident created by the public
discussion of tariff questions by Am
bassador Riccl of Italy, which
brought criticism on the floor of the
Senate, has been definitely closed. so
far as the American government is
concerned. The ambassador saw Sec
retary Hughes late yesterday in re-
lation to the matter and 1t was
learned authoritatively today that the
conference ended the matter.
Now Fully Advised.
There is no doubt the ambassador
is now fully advised as to the views
of the American government upon
the delicate question of participation
by the representatives of other gov
ernments in public debate in this
country on questions of a domestic
nature pending for settlement in
Congress or elsewhere.
The American viewpoint on the
subject is perfectly clear and holds
that foreign governments are in this
country through the persons of their
diplomatic representatives and that
those representatives have no status
as private citizens and can speak only
for their governments.
That being the case, II is obvious
that they cannot debate before Ameri-
can audiences questions that are of do
mestic concern in the United States,
since their government would not con-
slider for moment taking any official
action to participate in such a debate.
Channel of Communication.
The channel of communication for
governmental views on pending legisIa-
ton of any character in this country is
held to the State Department, which
will transmit such views to the proper
legislative body. AS a result of the
criticism expressed in the Senate of
Ambassador Ricci's action and also Of
the conversations between Secretary
Hughes and the ambassador, which
grew out of that criticism, it Is re-
sarded as wholly improbable that any
future remarks of the ambassador
would be of such nature as to revive
the incident now closed with complete
1riendliness on all sides.

Worth Considering.

Three separate reports setting
forth recommendations for action by
Congress with respect to private de-

Muscle Shoals, Ala, were made to
the House today by members of the

making a final decision is admitted in
each of the reports to be the duty of
the full membership of the House at
an early date, but recommendations
to that end, submitted after four
months of continuous consideration
by the committee, differ in important
respects as they are presented in the
documents.
Acting Chairman Mckenzie Of Illi-

port, declares at the outset of that
document that the Ford proposal was
the only one found worthy of seri-
Gus consideration" and asks its ac-
ceptance by the House. provided,
however, that the Gorgas steam plant
is not included among the projects to
