CALLS LETTER A FORGERY.
Alleged Washington Manuscript De-

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, February 81
@.-W. c. Ford, former chief of the
manuscript division of the Library of
Congress, said today that letter dis
covered at Kansas City purporting to
have been written by George Wash
ington had been forged during Wash
ington's lifetime with 'diabolicaI' in
tent.
81 love my king" said the letter,
which purported to have been written
shortly before the Declaration of indie
pendence.
This and other spurious letters were
first published in London in 1777, Mr..
Ford says, and later one of them was
issued in New York. Washington first
saw it in February, 1873, Ford said,
and wrote to Richard Henry Lee:
Not one word of which 0he letter.
did I ever WRITE
The letters were published several
times afterward, Mr. Ford said, and
Washington made a strong effort to
learn their author.
Denounced by Washington.
ION his last day in the presidency,
March 8, 1871" continued Mr.. Ford,
washington wrote a letter to the
Secretary of State, Timothy Picker
ing, specifying each letter and adding
his solemn declara ton that they are
a base forgery, and that I never saw
or heard Of them until they appeared
in print
Nothing could be clearer on the
question. From the first publication,
to shake the confidence of the people
in Washington, to their reissue in
1895, again for partisan purposes, they
were recognized and stamped as for
geries."
Mr.. Ford cited two men as having
been suspected of writing the letter
He quoted an English review as ac
cusing one Vardill, a young Episcopal
clergyman of New York. though he
says Washington himself suspected
Jack Randolph, the last royal attorney
general of Virginia and a loyalist.
washington admitted that the det
tiers We're prepared with great care,
said Mr. Ford, land the admixture OF
many family circumstances gave an
air of pIausibility; their purpose was
iaboiical. They had been written by
person who had some knowledge or
information of his family, and yet he

GOVERNOR PROCLAIMS
THURSDAY NAVY DAY

A sound policy of naval protection
is necessary to the growth of this
country's foreign trade. Governor
Theodore Christianson said Monday
in proclaiming Navy day, Thursday.
"This day marks the birthday ami
versary of the American navy" the
governor said. October 81, Its, a
resolution was introduced in the Con-
tinental congress authorizing the pur-
chase of merchant vessels to be con.
verified into men-of-war. October 81
also is the anniversary of the birth OF
Theodore Roosevelt, who, as presi-
dent, devoted much of his attention
to establishing a sound naval policy
for the United States. The United
States today is one of the great mari
time nations. Thirty per cent of its
harvest and 10 per cent of it's indus
trial products are sold abroad. The
need and Importance Of a sound pol
icy of naval protection should there
fore be self-evident. I urge general
observance of Navy day throughout
the state, by schools and civic and
other organizations that our citizens
may understand what our navy means
to the nation"

lieves that once the profit is taken
out of war one of the biggest reasons
for war would be destroyed and we
want Universal Draft to help remove
that incentive.
"The second matter of Importance
in respect to service of the Legion TO
the nation is that of preparedness.
The American Legion has been accus-
ed ever since its inception of being a
military organization and that we are
fostering and encouraging war in our
talks Of preparedness. Think of how
foolish it isl said the speaker, "for
those who know war to want more
war. Such a mistake! We have a
right to study and believe things that
we think are right, and preparedness,
we think, is peace. When we say
preparedness we do not mean a mil
itary machine. We believe that an
amount of preparedness sufficient to
protect our homes and the nation we
love from an external force is enough.
Practically every nation in the world
is armed to the teeth and there is no
nation in the world that contains a
greater invitation for war than a ma
ton of wealth. America is more
wealthy than any nation could think
of being. For America to junk it's
ships, to let it's army and aviation
run down is but an extremely invit-
ing chance for another world war,
and therefore the American Legion
has problem of education for those
who believe in total disarmament"
Interesting talks on membership
and service were given by F. B. An
dreen of New Ulm, commander of
the second district; DR.. Nellermoe of
Cottonwood, commander of the sew
enth district; Mrs. Robertson, presi-
dent of the second district Auxiliary,
and T. A. Streissguth of New Ulm.

told the annual gathering Of the

In wide-range discussion Of the
manifold perplexities of life that
wreck marriage, drive juveniles to
delinquency and crime. and disrupt
homes, Andrews prophesied that for

Calling attention to the modifica-
ton of the family's economic situa-
ton and customary activities as a
result Of industrial society, with
its specialization in productive func-
tons, Andrews said:
| "As housework is industrialiZed,
the home is personalized.
Rising standards of living require

The managing housewife usually
contributes as much by her skill
as does her husband by his money,
according to Andrews.
Despite the fact, however, that
managerial activity and intelligent
