NEW YORK. Oct. 8.-Three
bankers and two diplomats who
arrived from Europe yesterday on
the French liner Normandie eX-

a war in Europe.
Winthrop w. Aldrich, chairman

''You may quote me as saying
that the war in Ethiopia will not
spread to Europe. 1t will be
localized in Africa. 1 found
France progressing and England
continuing on her road to recOv-

George Davidson, president of
the Central Hanover Bank, return
ing from a vacation visit to
rance and England, said:
There is not likely to be an
other war in Europe. According
to opinions expressed by prOmi-
nent persons that l met in
Paris and London, France does
not desire war and is not going
off the gold standard. England
is making good progress toward
recovery"

Prince, said:
II do not believe there will be
any general war in Europe

Italy and u grave warning agains

Archbishop of Canterbury as h
opened the Anglican church con
ference here. He said:
1--WE meet in the most critical
time in the history of the
world. We meet in a mood of
mingled distress and indigna-
ton.
"Distress-when before our
eyes the spectre of war which
has long haunted us-once
again becomes q hideouS reality.
"Indignation-when we see a
great European power which
has signed the covenant and the
Pact of Paris treating these OBJ
legations with cynical contempt
and launchins an attack upon a
fellow memb.r of the League.
cat the outset we must recog-
nize that peace itself is not an
ideal. The foremost ideals are
the rule of reason, justice and
law within and among nations,
for an assured peace among
states can only be assured by
the vindicatiOn and establish
ment of justice.
"This may sometimes involve
both in national and interna-
tiOnal life the use of force. In
the present dispute it is the firm
desire of the League that this
force may be confined to the
restraint of economic pressure.
"If no attempt is made b. the
state to restraint need be by
fOrce-thOSe who defy the rule
of law, anarchy would follow"

Ample Proof of Reality
OF Elizabeth KeckIey
10 the Editor OF The Star:

10 the EDITOR OF Inc Star.
In the issue of The Evening Star for
Monday. November II, 1885, there ap-
peared an article entitled, Bizarre Lin
coin Story is Traced" etc, by the Asso-
ciated Press.
In this article Behind the Scenes, 4"
by Elizabeth Keckley, is discussed by
David Rankin Barbee, who states that
his researches had convinced him that
there was mo such person at all" as
Elizabeth Keckley.
I beg to inform him that for over 30
years. too, have been a close student of
Lincoln and also of the period pertaining
to his death; and besides have in my
possession some of the rareSt items per-
tanning to the assassination period.
AS have made an extensive study of
Mrs. Keckley and her book, I beg to
state to Mr.. Barbee and Mr.. v. VIOLA
Arma, curator of the rare book room of
the Library of Congress, that Mrs.
Keckley was very intelligent and cul-
tured woman of her day. Her contacts
with customers had made her a splendid
example of manners and grace, and her
personality had won for her the closest
friendship of Mrs. Lincoln.
Mrs. Keckley ran very large sewing
business in Washington and trained
many of her race as seamstresses. Some
of these women are still alive. as are
scores of persons whom can name who
we're familiar with her and her book.
Due to her own anxiety to obtain funds
to help Mrs. Lincoln, she yielded to
agents of the Carlton Co, publishers
of New York, and told about the most
int to inc of "a Uypita uN1Ico
1t may be possible that George Alfred
Townsend probably knew of the plots to
obtain the inside story and possibly that
Mrs. SwisShelm was the agent who per-
suaded Mrs Keckley to write the manu-
script and probably was the one to re-
arrange the matter in good form and
English for the publishers.
AS Behind the Scenes" was recalled
from the market and all available copies
bought up by Mr.. Lincolns friends, and
as many persons were anxious to read
the facts, can readily see how Mrs.
Swisshelm saw an opportunity to put
the same facts before the public in her
book, Half Century" and how not only
the facts, but the very language and
style would be identical.
Mrs. Keckley lived to be very old and
died, am told, In the Old Folks and
Children's Home at Eighth and Euclid
streets northwest, some time before the
World War began.
It seems to be the trend of present-day
writer's, years after the death of people,
to doubt their very existence. During
Mrs. Keckley's lifetime no one came
forward to challenge the authorship of
the book that she wrote, and in 1868-69,
when the criticisms were strongest
against her. she never denied her author
ship of Behind the Scenes" but took
full responsibility for its exposures,
claiming that her reason was to obtain
funds to assist Mrs. Lincoln to repay
her for her many acts of kindness while
Mr.. Lincoln was alive and she prosperous.
