AMERICAN U. GETS 861 J00INGIFTS Will of Miss Mary Graydon Bequeaths $545,000—Had Given $316,000 During Life. American University will receive from the late Miss Mary Graydon of Ridgewood, N. J., a total of $861,000, including bequests of $545,000, it was announced last night by Chancellor Luclus C. Clark at a banquet of the Women's Guild of the university, at the Women's Residence Hall on the campus. Gifts from Miss Graydon, which had been coming to the institution over a period of years, but were diselosed to the public for the first time last night, have helped substantially in sending the campaign for funds well over the $1,000,000 mark toward the goal of $6,000,000, Dr. Clark sald. Pledges of $450,000 had been received during the past year, he said, and yesterday there arrived from campaign workers in ¥Florida an additional group of pledges totaling $18,000 more from one week’s activity. - Dr. Showalter Speaks. Dr. W. J. Showalter, assistant edi- tor of the National Geographic Maga- zine, who spoke at the banquet on cience and Religion,” denounced agnosticism as one of the greatest dangers of the day. Declaring that “never was a greater mistake made by the human mind than to claim that ‘science denies God,'” Dr. Sho- walter said: “The first thing ev educational institution ought to do is to guide children that they will not be agnostics. Children should have truth and faith so tied together that the, one will be the bulwark to the other.’ Reviewing the progress of science in the history of man, as it met increas- ing needs for the support and com- fort of the race, Dr. Showalter de- clared, “God has had an answer for every nee “Science,” he said, “is nothing more or less than the agency through ‘which the Creator still sends manna to a hungry race, still raises up ser- pents in the wilderness, that the peo- ple might have health, still gives us clouds by day and pillars of fire by night to lead Israel into the promised land of a decent existence.” Dr. Clark, explaining the gifts from the late Miss Graydon, said she be- came by them the chief benefactor of the institution. She had given prior to her death, he sald, several different sums, including $300,000 in cash and $2,000 annually for eight years. When her will, made within the year prior to her death at the age of 83, last July, became known recently, Dr. Clark said it was disclosed she had created a trust fund of $145,000 for four per- sons, at whose death the fund will come to American University, and had made the university residuary legatee. Officials of the Fifth ave- nue Bank of New York City had as- sured him, Dr. Clark said, that when the estate is settled, which probably will be next Fall, American University will receive about $400,000, probably more. The estate now Is principaily in stocks and bonds, it was explained. Saw University Once. Miss Graydon had seen American University but once, Dr. Clark said when she was in Washington about 30 years ago, long before the institu- tion had developed the array of build- ings which now house the new college of liberal arts. During the vast two years, the chancellor told the women'’s g:“fl there had been expended in fldlnm on the campus a total of 0,000. onulnln' the progress made in es- tablishing the university since its be- ginning more than 30 years ago, Dr. Clark praised the heads of the three schools: Dean’ Edward T. Devine of the graduate school; Dr. Albert Put- mey, director of the School of Political Sclences, and Dr. George B. Woods, dean of the college of liberal arts. The campaign for funds would be pressed further, Dr. Clark said, as it had been found that people in all of the country were giving to the institution. Laying down a policy which he declared would surely ‘“carry forward” American University, the chanceller said the goal was to make the institution the ‘“outstanding standardized institution of learning in this part of the country.” Miss Mary Louise Brown, dean of women at the college, was toast- mistress; Mrs. Harriet Harding Guthrie entertained with vocal solos, and Bishop John W. Hamilton pro- nounced the invocation. SPECIAL NOTICES. THE EVENING RISE OF A NEW CHINA Russia Seen as Playing for Big Stakes in Aiding Chinese Sirife, But Reign of Reds Is Held Unlikely. b ARTICLE V. BY UPTON CLOSE. ] Russia may appear to us as a great monster spawning eggs of d faction, but to the Asian world has assumed the role of liberator and champion. Her agents spread sym pathy for the Chinese cause wherever her influence reaches. Russian influence is gether the apparently most incon- gruous elements. Thus British unions embarkation of Brit- “hing E brought to sympathize with Chinese aspirations, protest the embarkation | of troops and call for assembling of Parliament to question the cabinet's actions. Russian agents are bringing together the Ameer of Afghanistan and the triumvirate of the Chinese Na- tionalist party in a common cause of hatred against the British. They bring within the vision of the Pan- Indian Congress the value of putting native India on record in moral sup- port of the program of a people who for centuries have been beyond the ken of most Indians. Reached Long Arm to England. Russia is helping China couraging the revolt throughout Asia in many wa but the most ef- fective 1 shall illustrate by an ex ample. I arrived in China on the day when a British vessel had sunk a Chinese sampan at Wanhsien on the upper Yangtze, and Chins soldiers had retaliated by seizing three British merchant ships. While reports from the scene of the incident were still too meager even in Shanghai for one to place the blame, British labor au- thorities in far-away England passed a resolution warning their govern- ment that they would oppose any drastic reprisals. Thus Great Brit- ain’s hands are tied. I asked Michael Borodin, in whom all Russian influence in China centers, what Russla_expects to get in return for voluntarily renouncing her special privileges and concessions in China; spending some millions of rubles on propaganda; running the risk of war with Japan and Great Britain, as well as with Marshal Chang Tso-lin in the north; donating some shiploads of Siberian furs for sale in the Canton market, and virtually placing what is left of the Russian volunteer flect in the service of the Canton regime—all in order to protect the movement in its weaker ddys. Definite Aims of Russians. The Soviet agent who professes to consider himself more a servant of China than of Moscow smiled in his engaging way. “We are dmmmom g the cause of humanit hy id. “That is reward enough. Later in the talk he mentioned that the imperialism of America and Eu- rope would be beaten down by an awakened Asia, thus “liberating not only the rest of the world, but the enslaved pro]emflat of the capitalist powers themselves.” I gathered that Russia has two very definite aims in its Chinese activities, both connected with nractical foreign policies. The first is through a strong China, to checkmate Japan, who has menaced Siberia. The sec- ond, the prosecution of the centuries- old feud with Great Britain, which will never cease until one power or the other is deprived of empire. Three decades ago Great Britain built up Japan, giving money, skill and alli- ance, for the purpose of striking at Russia. Russia enjoys the thrill of revenge in doing just the same thing for China, for the purpose of ending the British Empire in Asia. “The only thing we shall ask from China in return for our help,” said Borodin, “is her friendship and a common cause for the liberation of humanity.” Dream of Anti-American Alliance. Among the more idealistic Russians there is a definite vision of uniting Russia, China and Japan—which it is thought will not dare to stay out— into an alliance of Pacific Asia for counterbalancing the power of the most impregnable capitalist nation of all, the United States of America. Russia, ostracized from Europe and the West, is endeavoring to exploft her marvelous opportunities for lead- ership of a group of modernized Asi- atic nations. But this is a ticklish game. I remarked to Borodin—and he shrugged his shoulders—“that Rus- sia would discover in the end that she had done a very considerable piece of pure philanthrophy so far as any return is concerned.” The Chinese leaders, on their part, are frank and practical about it. “It is not up to us,” said Finance Minis- ter Soong, “to ask what are Russia’s motives. Suffice it to say that she was the first nation voluntarily to give up advantages incompatible with bringing to- s | our sovereignty and imposed upon us n of ong shar witsin so ‘daye afier mn.'onua” ob‘;“h:h:n wbow&’!“"" -ael c‘ ington Post ne n::i"n-'"img fi'fl‘i‘&w !rOAD OP ’UBNX- RN g..: m& fi“‘n_‘r‘ ANSFERIoLIS or Bald 7 wno)( n' )IAY CONCERN: L.
