Celebration of the ,one-hundredth an
niversary Of the first commencement
exercises at George Washington Uni
versity, then known by another name,
was appropriately ATTENDED In this
city last night by the retiring Ambas-
sador from France. Jules Jusserand
For there was present at that initial
commencement the Marquis de Lafay.
cite, revisiting the United States to
renew the friendships formed when he
served with the Revolutionary army
in aid of the American struggle for
serand spans a century Of marvellous
development. Lafayette, the friend of
Washington, admirer of the American
people. by his presence at the first
commencement attested to his keen
interest in the cause of education in
America. Jules Jusserand has in his
% years OF service at this Capital like
wise shown his concern and admira-
ton for the educational advancement
of this country.
When Lafayette was here in 1924
Washington was a struggling city Of
magnificent promise, but with as yet
small beginning in achievement to at
tain the ideal of his friend and. COM
mander-in-chief in war, George Wash
ington. The first President had con
ceived a truly national university at
the seat of Government for the educa-
ton of American youth and their de-
velopment in citizenship. He had laid
certain foundations which had been
neglected. But the spirit Of his vision
prevailed, and inspired those who
were striving to establish here ma
tional school. 81
In the century that has elapsed be-
tween Lafayette and Jusserand Wash
ington has become a seat of learning,
a center of education, a culture ground
Of patriotism and citizenship The In.
stitution which yesterday completed
its centenary of service is one of nu-
merous institutions located here work
ing to this end. -
1t was appropriate that Ambassador
Jusserand should last night revert to
the visit of Lafayette and to the ideals
of Washington. On a recent occasion
ne mentioned the. fact that in his %
years of service at this Capital the
American population has increased by
25 per cent. He is qualified thus to
speak in retrospect in reference to
beginnings and to present achieve
ments. 49, ---s
Many honors have been. and others
will be, paid to Jules Jusserand before
his departure from this scene of his
long diplomatic service. but no greater
honor could be paid him than thus to
link him and Lafayette upon the occa-
sion of celebrating the. centenary of
this institution of learning named for
George Washington, whom Lafayette
knew and loved, and whom Ambassa-
dor Jusserand respects as one of the
great men in the worlds history.

Gov. Baxter and His Dog.

The strange story Of the Governor
Of Maine and his dog again comes into
public notice, 1t is a matter so un-
usual that It. causes much comment
and it will be written in history. The
weight Of sentiment will be against
the governor. but a great many men,
and some women, too, understand the
feeling which sways him. They will
understand the grief Of thes governor
and. the emotion which caused him to
desire public tribute to his dog, but
they will feel that the governor goes
too far in public show OF his grief.
Garry was an Irish setter and the
bachelor governors friend. It is said
that Garry could always be seen in
the governors Office, generally lying
on an Oriental rug before the fire.
Every Maine legislator knew him, and
many shared the governors admira-
ton for him. A great many men viii
think well of a governors dog though
they may not have a fondness for
other dogs. Garry died about a year
ago, and Gov. Baxter ordered the
statchouse flag flown at half.staff.
Protests came from the posts of sew
eral war veterans associations. That
was natural. Later Gov. Baxter
thought to have monument. to Garry

One of Alaska's legendary heroes.
Jack" McCord. gold miner and oil
prospector, who has made and lost
half dozen fortunes farthest North,
Is giving a farewell dinner in Wash
ington this week to the world flyers
McCord has been in Alaska for 20
years. He is one of the characters
In Rex Beach's famous novel, 1.-THE
Iron Trail, the story of the building
of the Copper River railroad from
Cordova TO the Kennicott copper
mines, the Guggenheim property in
Alaska. McCord has a warm place in
the hearts of our globe girdling avia-
tors because he helped their advance
officer, Capt. Clayton Bissell, to lay
out the supply depots at remote
points along the Alaskan peninsula in
preparation for their hop-off from
North American soil. One of Jack"
McCord's side lines is bear fighting.
He has been known to take on and
hold his own with q brown bruin in
the Kodiak Island country, where
bears measure eighteen feet from tip
to tip and weigh a ton.
Samuel Gompers' passing draws at
tention anew to the continuous promi-
hence of foreign born men in the

parentage. The two vice presidents
of. the Federation, who rank as the
most likely successors of Gompers,
are, like him, European born-Mat-
thew VOL, who first saw the light in
