A note to this effect will be sent to the allies. It is stated in official ciréles here that the Jugo-Siav troops have not ad- vaneed beyond the legitimate boundar- fes of Serbia. The council of ambas- sadors recently sent a note to the Jugo-Slay government, demanding tm- mediate withdrawal of its troops from the territory within the limits previ- ously defined by the counctl. The newspapers are unanimous in declaring the councl!'s decision unjust and urge strong opposition to a fur- ther meeting cr consultation on the subject, Thirty-thousand troops are believed to be advancing toward the Serbian border.

Washington Structure Is Dedicated as| “Gathering Place for Americans” in Address of President Harding WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Speaking today at the laying of the cczuerstone for the new Harding Uedicated the structu: Victory Memorial, President re as “a gathering lace for Americans; where American minds begin the fulfillment of one of the ‘striking provisiqns Washington, which set asi an institution to disseminate learn- ing, culture and a preper understand- ing of right principles of govern- ment.”” The president's address was given largely to an anlysis of the less well- known attributes of the first prest- dent which, he sald, made Washing- ton ‘on his private and personal side ‘& very mode! of good citizenship.” “Tt ts an impressive fact,” Mr. Harding said, “worthy of our especial thought, that in the century and a hafi'since Washington became the leader, the heart and soul, of its strug- gle for independence and unity this nation has so many times found occa- sions to record devotion to the pre- cepts which ho laid down for its guid- ance.

NEGRO EMPLOYE OF POSTOFFICE STABBED IN FIGHT EARLY TODAY, Ington was the great personal force |; that wretiched apert the two chief branches .of the English-speaking | - race, he was on the other the greatest personal factor in saving this conti- nent to Anglo-Saxon domination; and in doing that he contributed very ‘greatly to making possible the wide- flung family of English-speaking na- tions. If as leader of the revolting celonies in '76, this time aided by France; he tore them from the grasp of England, it fs equally true that two decades earlier he had saved them from the possible domination of France. “But among the documents which attest his wisdom there is one to which little study hag been given. I mean his last will amd testament. “Washington was not only a great soldier and a great” statesman; he was also a man of great business af- fairs, and an eminent humanitarian. Provident and always methodical he amassed a fortune which has been rated by many as the greatest of his time in all the country. But plainly it was not his belief that: society is best served by the transmission from generation to generation of, such im- posing aggregates of wealth. There- fore his will, after devising minor and largely sentimental bequests to many relatives and friends, directed that the residuary estate should be divided into 23 equal shares to be dis- tributed among the heirs whom he named. “Washington as a model citizen shines forth with a peculiar radiance from his last testament. The first provision is that his debts shall be paid promptly. All the world needs the example of kept obligations. The second item makes generous provi- sion for. his wife; and then comes the direction at her ‘death that all his slaves shall be given freedom. “Next follow devices of, funds to. ald education of poor. or orphaned children, and for the endowment of a ‘university in a central part of United States.’, Another specific Bequest ges to Liberty Hall academy, now Washington and Lee university, at Lexington, Virginia. ‘A list of debt- ors are forgiven their debt8.

His wife was present but did not sit with him. Gavin McNab, chief of Arbuckle’s six attorn asked what disposition should be made of the grand jury indictment against Arbuckle. This is also a manslaughter charge similar to the police court charge on which Ar- buckle is being tried. “We are not trying the case on the indictment,” the court replied. The indictment probably will be continued from day to day. Previous to the questioning of talesmen in the box, District Attor- ney Brady outlined the case briefly. Milton T. U'Ren, assistant district attorney, started the questioning of the prospective jurors. He sought to draw out-the knowledge possessed by those in the box, of the importance of circumstantial evidence. The first prospecti juror was asked if Arbuckle was a motion pic- ture favorite of his and he answered “not particularly.” One juror had been passed tempor- arlly at the noon recess of the trial.
