St. Paul's Chapel
"a "a "a pa "a ma m sa IA Ra "a "a ma

Colonial atmosphere has been scarce
in lower Broadway for many years,
but st. Paurs chapel, the oldest ex-
listing church edifice in the island,
has brought back some Of the grace
and simplicity Of the days Of the Rev
olution. The famous place Of worship
has been redecorated and renovated
to conform with the fashions prevail
ing in 1886, when st. Pauls was
built by Mclean.
When the British evacuated the city
after the surrender at Yorktown
nearly all of the decorations that indi-
Gated an English utilization were torn
out Of the chapel.
Every royal emblem, every reminder
of the connection with Great Britain,
was removed with the exception OF
the three-feathered badge Of the heir
apparent of the English throne sur.
mounting the pulpit. The heir appnr-
ent then became George Nv In 1911.
Through some neglect his emblem was
left in It's original place and for years
1t was the subject Of curious questions.
This heFaNie badge Of the prince Of
Wales survived many periods Of deco
ration when other ancient embell.sh
msnts were removed.
Now many Of these decorations have
been returned to their former posi-
tions. But the British .atmospheEe"
has not been brought back. Only the
Colonial fixtures used when George
Washington was President Of the
United States have kept their places
in the old church. 1t was there that
he worshiDed for many years. His
four-sided pew, always interesting to
patriotic pilgrims, Is on the vesey
street aisle. 1t is marked by large
sized painting Of the shield of the
United States Of America. Opposite,
on the Fulton street aisle, similar
pew, used by De Witt Clinton when
he was governor of New York. is iden-
titled with painting of the New York
shield.

The old organ which played on that

While President Washington was

times, Wall street was the extreme

town and Fulton street was out in

During the years while New York
has been steadily, rapidly moving up

Mexico Denied
Permit To Ship
War Airplanes

WASHINGTON, Dec. % (AP)-
The state department disclosed
today that it had recently denied
an application from the Mexican
government for license to export
ten airplanes purchased by it in
the United States. The ships were
bought from the Douglas Airplane
Manufacturing company. located
near Los Angeles, California.
"a request for the issuance of an
export license was received from
the Mexican ambassador, such lie
ense being necessary owing to the
embargo imposed by the United
States on the shipment of arms and
war materials to Mexico. The de-
niai of the application was made
it was said, about ten days ago
and no reason for that action was
given at the state department.
Certain classes of commodities
which fall within the prohibition
on expectation to Mexico of war
materials have been licensed for
export where it was demonstrated
that they were intended for COM
mercial and not military purposes.
So far as could be learned at the
state department, however, there
has been no license granted for ex-
portation of military stores or
equipment to Mexico since the en-
barge went into effect, except in
the case of rifles, machine guns,
ammunition and military airplanes
sold by the United States govern
ment itself to the Mexico city gov
ernment at the time the De La HUI
erta revolution was at it's height.
The. explanation then made was
that the United States desired to
assist the Mexican government in
restoring order and maintaining
stable conditions in Mexico
Officials would not say whether
the planes purchased by the Mexi-
can government in California were
specifically classed as military air
craft in the application for license.
