Princeton, N. J.. June 0. The brll
Miner of General Washington's genius
ta action and the devotion of his fel
towers of the Centlnentnl Army under
ntit privation were extolled by Prcsl
Sent Harding today In an address at
jje dedication of the battle monument
at Princeton.
The memorial was fitting te the he
dm and hereUm of that day, he de
Sired, addlna that "we brlnr and lay
' t lt feet tne laurel' wreaths which
iratltude and patriotic sentiment will
Slwaya dedicate te these who have
lerne the heat and burden of the con
flict." .The President, In his address, said :
"My fellow Americana:
'"We have come here te say the for fer

of brenie or carvings of stone. It rears
Steelf in the Institutions of liberty and

' Consecrate Ourselves te Cause
' "In the presence of such n monu
ment we can de no better than conse
crate ourselves te the cause in which
t this place the soul of genius and the
spirit of sacrifice shone forth with
Itetdfast radiance. On no ether battle

"Here the genius of General Wash Wash
Jijgten reached the height of Its bril
liancy In action. Here hia follower
wrote their highest testimony of valor.
Here liberty-seeking devotion struggled
through privation and unbelievable ex ex
(rilen, te gain the heights. The crim
soned prints of numbed and bleeding
feet marked the route n pathway te
eternal glory. Thither they trudged
through storm and Trifrent; but from
here, In the purchase of victory, went
out winged messengers te tell all men
that liberty was safe in the keeping of
her sons.
"Point me the field of strife, te

domitable purpose, the will te win!
Take down the tomes, thumb all the
blackest, all the fairest pnges, and tell
vine where you read of nobler, finer
taye, or mere fruitful sacrifices of men
for their fellows'!
Lew Ebb of Continental Fortunes
"Here, among you te whom the .tra
ditions of these events are a sacred
trust, is no place for recounting the
discouragement of the patriot cause,
the low ebb of Continental fortunes,
the seeming that final disaster could
set long be stayed. The army was
crumbling. The enemy delayed te fin
ish his task, only because he was se
certain of his quarry that haste would
Ve unseemly.
"And then the flash of Washington's
defiance ! The crossing of the Delaware
in storm and ice flees; the march and
the delays which made It Impossible
te effect a night attack and a com
plete surprise ; Washington's stern and
fateful decision te press en and stake
ererythlng en the Issue; finally, the
attack, and the victory !
Indomitable Spirit Wen
S 'Drllllant as was the accomplishment
Washington, en the Jersey side, was
faced by the superior .strength of the
new consolidated British forces. At
bit his rival was sure of "The Old
Tex." Then came the strategic with
drawal by Washington, at night, In se
cret, from his line en the Assunplnk
Creek, the flunking march te Princeton,
tad the second surprise and defeat of
the enemy.
i, "In the narrative of these magnifi
cent winter days of marching and fight
ing, surprises and victories, one finds
the truest presentation of the Indomit
able spirit which sustained and at last
jren.the Revolution.
"The destruction of Washington's
army would almost' have snuffed out
the Revolution. It would have given n
demonstration of the overwhelming pre
ponderance of tUrltlsh power, which
even the most stout-hearted patriot
would have found difficult te deny. On

Harding Speaks at
Princeton Battlefield
Continued from Pe Ose
1701, many of the foremost charac
ters In the history of the country have
been guests at Merven. At rn ttr. of
the battleefITlneetaIpnllTl!l,
eral Washington had his headquarters
in the house.
President James Madisen became In
timate with the Stockton family while
he was a student at Princeton, and after
he became President was often a guest
at Merven. Presidents' Jehn Qulncy
Adams, Martin Van Uuren and Andrew
Jacksen were entertained there, and
Daniel Webster, who was an intimate
friend of Commedore H. F. Stockton,
did much of his writing in the library
of Merven.
Visited by Woodrew Wllaen
Other Presidents who were guests at
Merven were Fillmore, Buchanan, Har
rison nnd Cleveland. The last of the
prominent public figures connected with
the house is Woodrew Wilsen, who was
a frequent visitor during the period
when he waa president of Princeton
University, and inter when he was
President of the United States.
After luncheon, President Harding
will be driven te Nassau Hall te re
ceive his degree. On the historic steps
where eleven ether Presidents of the
United States have been similarly hon
ored 'he will be made a doctor of laws
at the hands of President Hlbben. Dean
Andrew F. West will present hlra for
the degree.
His predecessors In the White Heuse
te be accorded a like distinction were
Madisen, Menree, Jeffersen, Jehn
Qulncy Adams, Buchanan, Lincoln,
Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, Cleveland,
Taft and Wilsen.
Following the conferring of the de
gree, the President and his escort will
proceed te the home of Dr. Hlbben,
who will give a reception In Mr. Hard
ing's honor. It will be attended by
these participating In the ceremonies,
together with invited friends -and the
military escort.
The President and his party will leave
for Washington Immediately after the
dinner and will meter te Princeton
Junction te make a connection for Tren Tren
eon. A rear end platform speech at
Trenten will close the President'!- day.
The Princeton Battle monument has
becn under construction for ten years,
and carries a long and Interesting his
tory of its own.
When the Continental Congress was
about te dissolve In 1783 and turn Nas
sau Hall back te what was then the
College of New Jersey, It moved that
an equestrian statue of Washington be
erected In order te commemorate his
great accomplishments. The monument
that was dedicated today is the In
direct result of thut resolution passed
almost one hundred and fifty years age,
UBt after the commander had Issued
the proclamation disbanding the Ameri
can Armies. The proclamation Itself
was issued from Princeton, and Wash
ingten's headquarters were located In
Nassau Hall.
Monument Waited a Century
In spite of the resolution moved by
the Continental Congress, no efforts te
carry out the previsions were made for
ever a century. But in 1803 a Battle
Monument Committee was appointed,
and active work begun te promote the
project. At the start It was thought
that the cost of the monument would
net exceed $40,000, but the huge statue
that will be unveiled Friday approaches
$300,000, nearly eight times the orig
inal estimate. Of this, $30,000 has
been appropriated by the United States
Government, a like amount by the Gov
ernment of the State of New Jersey,
and the rest by Individuals. Tbe mov

Continued from Paae One
figure about whom It might center. It
lias no Roosevelt and it may win con
cessions such as I have Indicated, but
there is no prospect at present of IIn
gaining the ascendency.
Jehnsen and Berah are its leading
figures In Washington. But Jehnsen
has tee many enemies and ia tee much
distrusted te be made tbe here of 11)24.
Berah has been tee long before the pub
lic te become at this late day a na
tional leader. The dolmans have a
proverb, "What wilt become vinegar
sours quickly." Se It is with great
popular following. They de net come
slowly.
Of the new figures, Beverldge la most
talked of among progressives as the
coming man. But the Indiana Senater
has te come te Washington and prove
that he can catch the Imagination of the
country. The new Governer of Penn
sylvania Is mera widely known. But a
governorship no longer affords the beet
stage for a career which will Impress
the country.
The advantage politically all Ilea
with President narding. lie is pur

He means te permit no dramatic Issue
te arise within the party by offering a

reports setting forth recommendations
for action by Congress with respect te
private development of the Govern
ment's $100,000,000 ewer nnd nitrate
projects et Muscle Sheals, Alabama,
were made te the Heuse today by mem
bers of the Military Committee. The
task of making a final decision la ad

duty of the full membership 'of the
Heuse at nn early date, but recommen recemmen recommen
dntlena te that end, submitted after
four months of continuous consideration
by the committee, differ In Important
respects as ther are preseniea in mt
documents. ....
Acting Chairman McKenaie, or. Illi
nois, who drafted the majority report,
declares at th outset of that document
that the Forjprenosal Is the only one
found "worthy of serious considera
tion" nnd asks its acceptance by the
He-use, provided, however, that the
Gerges steam plnnt Is net included
among the prejecta te be disposed of at
Muscle Sheals. ,
Concurrence In the majority report,
except for the references made with re
spect te the Gergas plant, Is voiced m
one of the minority opinions presented
by Representative Wright, of Georgia,
nnd supported by Representative James,
Michigan, and the remaining Demo
cratic members. They ask full compli
ance by the Heuse with all previsions of
the Ferd proposal, Including the Gergas
property, and point out the belief that
If Congress eliminates the Gergas unit
it would defent the Ferd offer.
In the third report, submitted by Rep
resentative Parker, of New Jersey, and
signed by Representative Frethlngham,
of Massachusetts, tbe opinion Is adverse
te the. acceptance of Mr. reru s ener
unless It Is modified In ether sections
thnn thnt dealing with Gergas. In the
event Mr. Ferd declines te agree te the
modifications proposed, the signers
would have the Secretary of War lease
the dams and nitrate plants "en such
terms as will secure the completion of
the dams," nnd would authorize blm
"te settle the fair value of the Gergas
plant and convey the same te the Ala

Without hesitation she replied :
"I love Jack."(
Hoogland said no mere, but took his
ten-year-old son, Alexander, leaving
Eleaner, two and a half, with her
mother. He went te his mother.' s home
In Wycoff.
Then Repentance Cemes
Mrs. Hoagland and Rescoe left the
cottage together. Last Saturday they
returned te the cottage in weotweoo,
and packed all the woman's clothing.
Women et the neighborhood came ami
reproached Mrs. Hoagland, urging her
net te desert her home.
Although under a great nervous
strain, Mrs. Hoagland replied that her
mind was made up. The couple, with
Mrs. Hoagland carrying her baby, then
entered Rescoe's sedan and drove away.
Labt Monday they returned te vt est est
weed. Repentance had come as swiftly
as the decision te give up the tranquil
life of Westwood for what she thought
was greater happiness. What she bad
believed 'was romance proved te be
disillusion.
Together the returning elopers bought
the Rev. Ellswerth Ward Decker, pas
tor of the church "where they still
held membership. They wanted recon
ciliation with these they deserted.
Wife Forgives Strayers
Dr. Decker summoned Mrs. Rnsree
te the parsonage. Abashed and hum
bled, Rescoe begged his wife's forgive
ness. Without hesitation she embraced
him and then, turning, embraced the
woman who had taken her busband'b
love.
"Yeu and your baby will net want,"
aald Mrs. Rescoe softly. "Yeu have
sinned, but I forgive you both. If your
husband will net take you back, you
can make your home in Pearl River."
Dr. Decker then sent for ilouglend,
but the outraged husband refused te
come. Mrs. Hoagland Wept when the
pastor told her her husband was ob
durate and would net take her back.
Mrs. Heniland's intuition warned
her te reject the offer made by Mrs.
Itoscee. Hhe lifted her baby again, nnd
clutching it te her breast, started down
the read with the grim realization that
tbe woman always pays.
Since then Chief of Police Bird, of
Westwood, has searched for the erring

parently Is some clothes, n little money,
her baby and bitter memories.

Hoagland went te the Westwood par par

asked him te forgive and forget, but

At Westwood today men talked of
punishing Rescoe if he ever appears In
that little borough again. Rescoe, at

tragic episode will lead te the courts.
Rescoe was asked ever the' telephone

"1 refuse te discuss It," was his only
reply.
