found in an official county document
which gives definite information re-
garding the details of that dwelling
and affords a true basis for deter
mining the manner and style in which
his family lived during that period OF
his life.
This record, which is an inventory
of his fathers estate. shows that in
1743 the house, which was the resi-
dence of George Washington from
1889 until 1854, consisted of six rooms
and a hallway which were adequately
furnished and had silk and cotton
curtains, silver f1atware, glass and
chinaware. Twenty slaves were in
service at the dwelling and on the
plantation on which it stood.
Overlooked, or ignored, by many
historians of George Washington. this
document, part of an original volume
of county records, has been in the
court house of King George County,
Va, since 1743. There it has laid. less
than 20 miles from the property on
which that Washington home stood,

County at two farms, one designated
as the Home House, where the fam

tract of 400 acres on the Rarpahan-

PEACE EFFORTS REPORTED.
Selassie's Purported Proposal Meets
Rome CoOlnesS.


tCopyright, 1885 by Associated PressJ
ROME, February 22.-Fresh Italian
reports arose today that Emperor
Halle SelasSie was suing for peace, just
as Fascists said their Blackshirt
legions were menacing their next
major Ethiopian objective - Amba
Alaji.
Informed sources reported the Ethi-
oplan King of Kings was advancing
peace proposals directly to the League
OF Nations, with an offer understood
to contemplate League protectorate
over his empire.
Whether he would cede any terri.
tory. however, or yield the broad Sec
tions of Ethiopia already occupied by
the advancing Italian forces, was not
specified.
Fascists Cool to Plan.
FascistS, fortified by their recent
victories, insisted. nevertheless, that
they looked with little favor on Halle
Selassie's purported plans to save his
empire from conquest by mandatinz
it to Geneva.
Premier Mussolini has declared
openly that no Italian subject would
settle in Ethiopia without the protec-
tion OF the tri-color, and informed
sources said Italy was less disposed
than ever now to accept compromise.
The latest reports from the northern
front places the Italian advance
guard less than Is miles from An1ba
Alaji, which ranks second only to
Aduwa, already taken, in the list of
sentimental Fascist objectives.
Its capture was regarded here as
Only matter of hours.
Bombing Activity Increases.
Increased bombing activities on the
southern front also inspired Fascist
confidence that the long-awaited ad-
vance on Harar SECOND city of
Ethiopia, by Gen. Rodolfo Graziani's
army, was impending
Reports circulated that the Italian
government was planning to disband
100000 soldiers, due to an improve
ment in international relations, but
responsible sources said they did not
look for any such development.
They pointed out that even If the
situation warranted this, demobil-
ization of such a large number would
be impossible.
