NATURAL AND OTHERWISE

THE nj MANSION

The Robert Morris house, more re-
Gently called the Jumel Mansion, To-
Gated near One Hundred and Sixtieth
street and Amsterdam avenue, in the
city of New York, is one of the most
famous of all the historic buildings in
that greatest of all American cities.
Well preserved, it Is q splendid speci-
men of Georgian architecture.
AS history goes, Colonel Robert
Morris of the Forty-seventh British
regiment and a comrade-in-arms of
General George Washington, pur-
chased the property and erected this
mansion which he subsequently pre-
sented to his bride, in 1893.
General Washington occupied the
place in 1776, while 5000 volunteer
soldiers camped in the n~eighborhood.
During a battle which resulted in the
capture of Fort Washington, this house
was the center of operations. In 1777
1t served as the headquarters of the
British army. In 1878 it was occupied
by General Baron Won Kuypausen and
his German following as Hessian
headquarters.
Following the close of the Revolu-
tionary war, this building was familiar
1y known as Calumet Inn. Stage
coaches operating between New York
city and Albany changed horses at this
point. President Washington and his
cabinet dined here In 1890.
In 1910 Stephen Jumel, a French
wine merchant of fame and fortune,
purchased this mansion, restored it TO
its condition in the time of Washing
ton. Jumel died in 1882. The following
year Nine. Jumel married the illustri-
GUS Aaron Burr who, in 1901, was
vice president of the United
States, and who shot and killed the
celebrated Alexander Hamilton in a
duel which was the outgrowth of a
political feud, at Weehawken. New
Jersey, in 1904. Subsequently. Attor-
.ey Chase, who studied law in Burr's
office n who married a niece of Nine.
Jumel, occupied this house for 80
years.
In 1903 the property was purchased
~ the city and In 1907 the Society Of
he Daughters of the American Revolu-
Ion acquired the use of the house for
museum Of historical relics and fur
lishlngs of the Revolutionary period.
In the council chamber, a large octag-
room at the rear of the broad
all, General Washington, 1t is said, re-
elved visits from the sachems of the
lroquois tribes who came to offer
heir allegiance to the cause of liberty.

All that was saved in the block fac
ing Main street was the First Nation

the Farmers Lumber Yard on the
other.
We understand very little insur-
ance was carried by any of those

fronts on the west side of Main street
opposite the fire, were damaged.

this possible.

large volume and effective production. Costs
are down bur quality is at its peak. Stock

A six per cent increase is noted in
the acreage sown to barley, the esti-
mated acreage being $4,000 for 1923.
The acreage was 1900 last year. The
1923 crop of barley for the state is
estimated at 2,083,000 bushels. The
increase in the. acreage of barley is
mostly in the western half of the
state, where corn growing is less ex-
tensive. The croD is grown mostly for
feed purposes. Most of the crop has
beer seeded late but the prospects are
good.

BRITAIN DID NOT SIGN
NOTES TO ALLIES
Harvey Demands English Retract
Balfour Charge That U. S. Ask
ed Empires Guarantee.

LonGon.-Ambassad Harvey's as
sert' IN that Great Britain had not
been asked to guarantee and never
did guarantee "the payment of sin
gle dollar loaned by the United States
for the use of any country other than
Great Britain herself" stands out as
one of the noteworthy utterances OF
his address at the Pilgrims dinner.
Colonel Harvey quoted from the
Balfour note of last August the
phrase: Under the agreement ar
rived at, the United States insisted,
in substance, IL not In form, that,
though our allies were to spend the
money, 1t was only on our security
that they were prepared to lend It,"
The ambassador said he did not
doubt but that the British govern
ment would, with equal formality
and no less explicitness, remove. the
Misrepresentation created by this I'M
fortunate allusion."
He went on to say that, with the
exception of Russia. which was un-
able to get American products, the
allies owe the United States more
than they owe Great Britain" and
asserted that the United States did
not intend to ruin the credit of any
country by cancelling its debts.
The ambassador declared the loan
to Great Britain forced the United
States to borrow $4,000, 100000. In
addition, he said, America borrowed
and loaned to the other allies $6,00O,-
900 900 on which no interest had been
received, although the United States's
own interest charges amounted to
more than one-quarter of billion an
nually.

GERMANS find
POILUS GENTLE
Trip to Ruhr Shows Occupation
by French Troops Sits Light
" on inhabitants.

Observation-Disclosures a stream OF
stories regarding the brutality" OF
the occupation, stories emitted unin-
terruptedly by German propaganda
bureaus which invariably are found
to be exaggerated, trip to the Ruhr
towns quickly demonstrated that the
occupation has so far weighed very
lightly on the population, as occupa-
tions CO.
One Of the remarkable features Of
this French venture is the carefulness
Of the troops with respect to the
rights and liberties of the inhabitants,
with which, as far as possible, they
avoid interfering.
In general, the attitude Of troops
toward inhabitants and vice versa is
one of studied naughty indifference,
each ostentatiously ignoring the other.
A column of French troops march
through the heart of Essen at noon,
time, when the streets were crowded.
The soldiers marched with business
like mien, looking straight ahead. pay
ing not the slightest attention to the
people on the sidewalks. On their
part, the Germans carefully ignored
the presence of the marching column,
or stared idly as they continued on
their way.
Scores OF Germans turned away and
looked fixedly in the other direction.
Children, however, swarmed about the
heels of the troops as though the col
umn were a circus parade. At each
halt a laughing group would play
tag" in and out among the resting
poilus and scramble unafraid over the
machinegun carts.
The troops have fiat orders to make
the occupation as agreeable as pos
sible to the people. Aside from rea-
sons of humanity, there are other rea-
sons for this forbearance.
First, one of the main objects OF
the French and Belgians is to win the
good will of the inhabitants in the
hope they will cooperate and work
the mines and factories. Success of
the occupation largely depends upon
this factor.
