As we strolled into the large, airy
dining room of the Lee-Grant Hotel
Sunday afternoon we found a large
audience with faces expressing more
than ordinary There was solemn
nifty and hush that spoke, more ell.

beautifully decorated with pines and
flags while surrounding the pulpit
were tall bushes of the Yucca hang
ing full of its bell-shaped flowers so
pure in their creamy wilderness shad-

flowers were only partly OPEN Huge

lightful. Comrade Mccormick es-
corted the writer to a seat of honor
among the speakers. and veterans
which gave us sense of comradeship
very comforting. AS we walked up
the aisle the organ under the deft
fingers of Miss Halloran tenderly
walled "Who will care for mother
now and memory flashed back to
scenes of the early sixties. AS we gazed
into the countenances of the old

To Address Cadets To-day

WASHINGTON, Nov. TO-. Brigadier
General Slayden, commandant OF the
Military Academy at West Point, has
been directed by Secretary Weeks to
recall an invitation given to the Hon.
John William Fortcscue, president of
tho Royal Historical Society, to ad-
dress tho cadets on Armistice Day.
A formal statement issued to-day by
the War Secretary said the reason for
his action was found in statements
contained in recent book written by
Fortescue, entitled British Statesmen
Of the Great War; The Secretary
quoted this passage:
Americans esteem good bargain,
even if gained by dishonorabie means,
to mark the highest form of ability
The United States cannot engage in
any form of competition with us, from
athletics to diplomacy, without using
foul play. They must win, il not by
fair skill, then by prearranged trickery
or violence; if not by open negotia-
tions, then by garbled maps and forged
docum There is the fact. 1t may
be unpleasant, but it cannot be de.
nied.'
"An author entertaining these senti,
ments," Mr.. Weeks said, sis not con.
sidered proper person to address the
students of a government academy"
Mr.. Fortescue is understood to be ir

of lectures.
