Washington as a fine place to live is pointed to in an editerial pub- lished in the Cleveland News-Ledder, which says also that everycitlzen should at least visit the National Capital, as it is conducive to better eitizenship. The editorlal follows: “Reports that 'Mrs. Warren' O. Hardng has leased an apartment in ‘Washington and will make her home there, though paying ocoadional visits to Marion, Ohio, as she is doing at present, and perhaps spending win- ters tn Florida, cannot have surprised | many Americans, Mrs. Harding has many devoted friends in the city where she lately lived as the graclous hostess of the White House. She may well choose to spend most of % time among the scemes where ner lumented husband rendered his country auch distinguished service. Agrerable Place to Live. *But a fact, perhaps more explan- atory, is that Washington s a most | agreeable place to live. People who} have tried it are likely to stay there, if they can. The country has long been familiar with the tendency of | semators, representatives and other officcholders to take up their resi-| dence in Washington after retiring from office, Widows of Army and Navy officers, as of various govern- ment officials, choose it as their home city. “Many persons of wealth like to ltve in Washington, though they never had any connection with the federal government and though they | might live anywhere else. The Cap- ital's popularity as a place of resi- dence is not entirely due, either, to #ny advantage residents enjoy in the matter of taxes. “Washington s as lovely as one would expect a city to be when built, ned and developed through a without regard for expense, ESTATE. . modern brick dwelling, G.

PHILADELPHIA, October 27.—The Earl of Birkenhead, former lord high chancellor of England, in an address last night before the Philadelphia Forum said the exchange of mes- sages botween Secretary Hughes and Lord Curzon on the German repara- tions question offered a prospect of great helpfulness. “The morale of this may be im- he said. “The aid of the was sold to er Investment n people may enable the peo- ple of Europe to fix upon the definite sum which Germany shall be com- pelled to pay. If American assist- ance brings this to pass your country and your great and ingenious people will have achieved a feat comparable to_that in concluding the war.” Replying to questions from the au- dience regarding British recognition of Russia, Lord Birkenhead gaid: “Europe faces the possibl'ity of a red revolution in the collusion of Germany and Russia. Besides that factor I can see no national amelior- ation In prospect. ‘There is no prac tical value in recognition and many moral objections.” The speaker characterizéed the Bok peace award plan as “a dream.” 'CAFRITZ REPORTS | $350,000IN )Propufiu Transferred Range .
