¥ 5 GEORGE WASHINGTON. BY. DR. FRANK, CRANE. George Washington will always be one of the great white lights of his- tory. ; We have the feeling concerning him that always the man was bigger than anything he did or said. He was one of those rare pictures in the gallery of heroes whose char- acter shines through his face. whose very nature was large and kingly. who could not have been undistin- B illions of outh in America who every vear open their histories to learn what is the quality of their people are favored. bevond those of - other land. in finding, as the first great_name in their nation's story, the name of George Washington.

POST TO PLACE WREATH ON WASHINGTON’S TOMB Delegation of Pioneer Legion Or- ganization Visiting Mount Ver- non This Afternoon. A delegation from George Washing- ton Post, No. 1, the pioneer post of the American Legion, is on the way to Mount Vernon this afternoon to place a wreath on the tomb of Wash- ington, in honor of the man for whom ‘ the post is named. The journey to Mount Vernon is being made on .the U. 8. S. Slyph, the assistant secre- tary of the Navy’s yacht, as the guests of the naval and former naval offi- cers of the bureau of supplies and accounts who served on the staff of Admiral Samuel McGowan, paymas- ter general of the Navy during the world war. The start was made from the wharf at the navy yard at 1 o'clock, and luncheon will be served through the hospitality of the officers of the Sylph. The delegation from George Washington Post was composed of Fisk. commander of the Lew S. Mohler, Julian . Ham- . William F. Mahony and George Adams Howard. Other members Jjourneyed by electric cars and joined the boat party on arrival. The large wreath bore the colors of the legion. the gold lettering “George Washing- ton Post, the American Legion,” on a blue ribbon. being the colors of the orgarization. The other members in the boat party also paid homage at the tomb of Washington. The Sylph will dock agai navy yard at 5 o'clock, and the naval officers will repair to the Raleigh Hotel, where the third general mus- ter of the flagship Pu held. with a varied program unti widnight. The mess call sounded at 6 o'clock. This will be followed by speechmaking by both | regular and reserve officers, inter- iningled with singing and dancing by V. ashingtgn talent. Skipper John M. Hancock will be the presiding officer. — — Washington’s Royal Ancestry. To the Editor of The Star: That Washington was “first in war” and “first in peace,” as well as “first in the hearts or his countrymen.” needs no expert verification, but it has remained for a fellow of the British Royal Historical Society to prove that Washington belonged to the “first” families of France and England. This antiquarian, Rev. Frederick W. Ragg, who has for years been work- IDg (0 restore the tower of the old enurch containing the memorials of the Washington tamily, has been the | nrst one to impart tne mlormalion| that George Washington traced his | descent directly back to Edward 1 of England and” his wife Margaret, daughter of Philip 111, King of France. It has been said: “Let no man fancy he knows sport unless he has family- treed an’ ancestor of George Wash- ington.” and this sport has been wide. 1y indulged in by expert genealogists, but, strange to say, these “sportsmen’™ have invariably contented themselves With studying the records of the mas. culine side of Washington's ancestry. In the old church at Great Brington is the famous stone which shows the arms of Laurence Washington, dis- playing the stars and stripes of which or hington was very proud, and which 15 generally believed to have given us the origin of our star spangled banner. Beneath this stone is the inscription: “here Lieth the | body of Laurence Washington sonne & h of Robert Washington i ! Soulgrave * * * who married r- garet, the Eldest daughter of William Butler of Tees in the countie of Sussexe.” The arms of Margaret Butler are impaled with those of her husband, and it occurred to the English anti- quarian to study the records of Mar- garet Butler's family, which he di covered led straight back to a royal ancestry. Margaret, who married Laurence Washington, in 1588, was the eleventh generation in descent rom Edward 1, famous as one of ngland's greatest warriors and most werful kings. And our George ‘ashington was the fifth generation rom Laurence. who married Mar- . making the “father of his coun- sixteenth in descent from Ed- ard I. called “Longshanks.” a desig- nation which also suited our first President. The record of Washington's descent from both the kings of France and gland has been verified to the satis- faction of our best genealogists, but it has not been widely “father of his country” will be no Gearer to his countrymen for his de- scent from royalty. but how much ¢earer to our hearts should be our allies.
