Bishop Blake contended the annual military expenditures of his native country exceed those of France, Italy, Germany, Turkey and Russia. “Is it any wonder that the other people of the world scoff at Anglo- Saxon pretensions to peace?” he asked. “That they derisively sneer when Americans and British speak of disarmament?”’ "B.

The position taken by Mr. Botts was that the employment of non-union labor was injurious to the standards of union workmen. The fact that the ‘Wardman bid on this particular project, it was pointed out, was in accordance with the regular union scale was no guarantee that other projects would be on the same plan, he said. The plans for the British embassy, drawn by Sir Edwin Lutyens, Briti government architect, with the co- operation of Frederick Brooke, Wash- ington architect, have now been ap- proved and the appropriation of about 140,000 pounds, approximately $700,- 000, made for the project. While it was intended last Winter that the building should be started about June of this yvear, revision of the plans de- layed the project until the present time. Wardman Bought Present Site. Mr. Wardman, who is a native ol | England, purchased the property of the present British embassy, on Con- necticut avenue at N street, and he was the owner of the property on Massachusetts avenue which was se- lected for the new embassy home. The new embassy will be an elabo- rate building of the Queen Anne style of architecture, two stories high and having a high-pitched Dutch type of roof. It is to contain spacious quar- ters for the Ambassador and his staff and adequate chancery quarters. Plans for the building won high praise from the Fine Arts Commission here.

Down- ing, acting coroner, has issued a cer- tificate of accidental death in the case, of Lyle A. Rice, 43 years old, a branch circulation manager for the Washing- ton Times, whose body was found yes- terday afternoon at his home on Prince Edward street here. Justice Downing decided that Rice came to his death by inhaling gas from a stove. Frances, 10-year-old daughter of Rice, discovered her father as she returned home from the Edmonston School and, unable to arouse him, called William Page, a neighbor. A physician, who was called, said Rice apparently had been dead about two hours. Justice Downing believes the man had tried to light the stove and the prossure was so strong that gas blew back into his face, wvercoming him. Nearness of the gas plant makes the pressure strong, he said. Rice w: in a run-down physical condition, mal ing his resistance low, according to Justice Downing. Rice’s wife, Mrs. Girlie C. Rice, is in Homoeopathic Hospital, Washing. | ton, where she gave birth to a daugi ter a week ago Monday. She h: been notified of her husband’s death. | Besides Frances and the baby, two | other children survive. They are Al | bert, 5 years old, and Patricia, 3. ESTATE SET AT $90,000. |§ Dr. J. W.
