| HE NAME by which the Society is to
be known is "The National Historical So-
ciety."
The Society is to continue in perpetuity.
The particular business and objects of
the Society will be:
(a) To discover, procure, preserve, and perpetuate
whatever relates to History, the History of the Western
Hemisphere, the History of the United States of America
and their possessions, and the History of Families.
(b) To inculcate and bulwark patriotism, in no par-
tisan, sectional, nor narrowly national sense, but in recog-
nition of man's high obligation toward civic righteousness,
believing that human governments are divinely ordained
to bear the sword and exercise police duty for good against
evil, and not for evil against good, and recognizing, as be-
tween peoples and peoples, that "God has made of "one
blood all nations of men.*'
(c) To provide a national and international patri-
otic clearing-house and historical exchange, promoting by
suitable means helpful forms of communication and co-op-
eration between all historical organizations, patriotic or-
ders, and kindred societies, local, state, national, and inter-
national, that the usefulness of all may be increased and
their benefits extended toward education and patriotism.
(d) To promote the work of preserving historic
land-marks and marking historic sites.
(e) To encourage the use of historical themes and
the expression of patriotism in the Arts.
(/) In the furtherance of the objects and purposes
of the Society, and not as a commercial business, to acquire
The Journal of American History, and to publish the same
as the official organ of the Society, and to publish or pro-
mote the publication of whatever else may seem advisable
in furtherance of the objects of the Society.
(g) To authorize the organization of members of
the Society, resident in given localities, into associated
branch societies, or chapters of the parent Society, and to
promote by all other suitable means the purpose, objects,
and work of the Society.
The Foundership-body of The National Historical
Society consists of —
1 i ) Original Founders, contributing five dollars
each to the Founders' Fund, and thus enrolling as pioneer-
builders of a great National Institution to energize the
patriotism of America, preserve her records, study her
achievements, and hold aloft the torch of her ideals ;
(2) Original State Advisory Board Founders, con-
tributing twenty-five dollars each to the Founders' Fund,
from whom will be elected for five-year terms the Mem-
bers of the State Advisory Boards;
(3) Original Life-Member Founders, contributing
one hundred dollars each to the Founders' Fund, from
whom will be elected the Grand Council of the Vice-Presi-
dents, a number representing each State and each foreign
country, particularly all the American Republics.
The Founders form the Phalanx of Honor around
whom The National Historical Society is working to co-
ordinate the patriotic forces of All- America.

THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
HIS NUMBER of The Journal of American History,
the First Number of the Tenth Volume, is notable in the
history of the Magazine. When the Magazine began
its career in 1907, presenting our history in an entirely
new and fascinating way, in a setting of interesting
and valuable historical illustrations, unaccompanied by
the ordinary magazine pages devoted to commercial advertising, it was
generally feared that such a Magazine could not find sufficient sitp-
[25]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
port to establish itself and live. There was reason for this fear ; but
I do not propose here to go into the story of the struggle of The Journal
of American History "for existence" during the nine years just past.
Along with the needs of the Magazine, to place it upon a basis of
permanency, there was also recognized the great need of a national
historical organization to carry on, more perfectly, the popular, patri-
otic and historical work begun by The Journal of American History.
It was realized that the Magazine would be the ideal official organ of
such a society, through which its activities could be carried on, and
that the support of such a society would in turn insure the continuance
of the Magazine. This situation was placed by me before the sub-
scribers of The Journal of American History, in several circular let-
ters sent out in December, 1914, and the early part of 1915, and, in
numerous responses received, the organization of a national historical
society, to take over The Journal of American History, was enthusias-
tically urged with promises of hearty co-operation.
Acting upon the various suggestions offered, the work of enroll-
ing Founders of such a national organization was begun, and such
progress was made that The National Historical Society was incor-
porated at Washington, D. C., under the laws of the District of Colum-
bia, on April 26, 1915. Elsewhere in this Number are printed the
objects of this society taken from the Articles of Incorporation, one of
its objects being "to acquire The Journal of American History, and to
publish the same as the official organ of the Society, and to publish or
promote the publication of whatever else may seem advisable in furth-
erance of the objects of the Society." By November, 1915, the Foun-
dership body of The National Historical Society had become so con-
siderable that the Executive Committee decided to take over The Jour-
nal of American History, in accordance with the wishes of the So-
ciety's Founders, and this was accordingly done. With the present
Number, therefore, the Founders of The National Historical Society
are receiving the first Issue of their own Magazine.
All those who have joined in the notable patriotic work of found-
ing The National Historical Society will have their names permanently
enrolled upon the Society's books, and recorded in The Journal of
American History, as Original Founders of The National Historical
Society. It is also deemed advisable that the period of enrolling Orig-
inal Founders be extended, throughout the formative period, until The
National Historical Society shall have acquired as its permanent home
suitable national headquarters.
A prospect of ideal national headquarters is held out to us in the
[26]
THE NATIONAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY
George Washington Memorial Building, spacious and beautiful de-
signs for which have been accepted, to occupy a site provided by Act
of Congress in "The Mall," near the National Capitol Building, in
Washington, D. C.
Immediately following is a letter, written while in Washington
last December, when the need for the George Washington Memorial
Building was so painfully apparent in the lack of facilities for the con-
gresses and conventions then meeting in that city. This letter was
published in the Washington Star on January i, 1916, and is here
given for the information which it contains concerning the Building.
A view of this Building, reproduced from the accepted designs, ap-
pears on the front cover of this Number of The Journal of American
History, which also contains other views, including some of the in-
ternal details. The entire Building, designed to carry out desires ex-
pressed in Washington's will, not alone will be a beautiful memorial
to Washington, the father of all our patriotic efforts, but the large
Convention Hall, supplying a need which the City of Washington
now lacks, will be a special Memorial to the Signers of the Declaration
of Independence, who now are without a memorial of any kind in
Washington.
Besides providing conventional facilities for Washington, D. C.,
in its great Convention Hall, seating 7,000 people, and its six or seven
smaller convention halls, seating from 600 to 2,500 people each, the
George Washington Memorial Building, with its hundreds of rooms
and suites, will provide permanent national headquarters for all the
national patriotic, scientific and artistic societies that wish to take
advantage of these facilities. By reference to the Articles of Incor-
poration it will be found that one of the objects of The National His-
torical Society is "to provide a national and international patriotic
clearing-house and historical exchange, promoting by suitable means
helpful forms of communication and co-operation between all histor-
ical organizations, patriotic orders, and kindred societies, local, state,
national, and international, that the usefulness of all may be increased
and their benefits extended toward education and patriotism."
The natural relation of The National Historical Society to the
George Washington Memorial Building is thus apparent. This beau-
tiful Memorial Building will be the material expression in Washington
of that affiliation and co-operation between all patriotic forces of the
country which it is one of the chief objects of The National Historical
Society and The Journal of American History to promote, the Build-
[27]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
ing providing headquarters and facilities for all such activities. Un-
der these circumstances I trust that every Founder of The National
Historical Society will do everything possible to further and hasten
the erection of this Memorial Building.
For the splendid beginning in this diction already made, the
entire Country owes a debt of gratitude to the George Washington
Memorial Association; to its patriotic and devoted President, Mrs.
Henry F. Dimock, who is also one of the Vice-Presidents of The Na-
tional Historical Society, and to whose remarkable efforts the great
success obtained is principally due; and to other officers and mem-
bers of the George Washington Memorial Association, who have been
Mrs. Dimock's devoted helpers in this great enterprise.
The time has arrived for the Nation, as a whole, to rally to the
support of this labor of love of patriotic and far-seeing American
women, and as the beginning of a national movement to this end we
have made this Number of The Journal of American History a special
George Washington Memorial Number. In this Number will be
found a double Roll of Honor. In one list appear the names of the
Founders of The National Historical Society, complete up to the time
of going to press. In the other list will be found the names of Mem-
bers and Contributors of the George Washington Memorial Associa-
tion. Those whose names are enrolled in both causes are to be especially
congratulated; and in future Numbers of The Journal of American
History we shall be glad to add the names of others who join these
Honor Rolls by contributing to The National Historical Society or the
George Washington Memorial Building.

QUARTERS FOR NATIONAL SOCIETIES
To the Editor:
The make-shifts to accommodate the Congresses and Associations
now meeting in Washington impress all with the tremendous need for
convention facilities in Washington. The crisis in Europe has aroused
every Western Nation, the resulting conferences have only just begun,
and Washington must prepare as the intellectual capital and meeting-
place of the Western Hemisphere.
Within a few days question concerning a convention hall has been
raised and a Women's Auxiliary Pan American Building has been
suggested. Should we not remind ourselves, therefore, that a con-
vention building is already planned, architect's drawings accepted, a
site in the Mall provided by Congress, and more than a quarter of a
million of dollars raised, largely by patriotic women? A united effort
by the patriotic forces of the whole country, or of Pan America, is
alone needed to increase the present fund to the million dollars re-
quired by act of Congress before work is begun, and the foundations
may be laid by next Spring.
I refer to the George Washington Memorial Building, which will
at the same time be a Memorial to Washington and carry out the
desires expressed in his will and elsewhere to promote "the diffusion
of knowledge in all lines of human activity that will conduce to the
advancement of the welfare of mankind."'
The architects' accepted plans reveal an exquisite building, un-
surpassed by anything in Washington, the beautiful. The large Audi-
torium will seat 6,000 people on the floor, 1,000 in the gallery, and 350
on the stage, while grouped around this will be 6 or 7 other conven-
tion halls, accommodating from 600 to 2,500 persons, each hall with
two committee or reception rooms.
The other floors will contain a large banquet hall and hundreds

of rooms, or suites, which may become permanent national headquar-
ters for the scientific, historical, educational, patriotic, literary and art
associations of the country.
Many organizations have passed resolutions strongly endorsing
the plan and purpose of the building, while a number have already
perfected arrangements to make it their permanent headquarters. It
has been suggested that each State and American Republic have a spe-
cial room. Just as the building as whole is a memorial to Washington,
the large Auditorium is to be a special memorial to the Signers of
the Declaration of Independence. Might not each State here com-
memorate its great men, and each American Republic its national
heroes ?
Director-General Barrett has just called attention to the remark-
able social intimacy which the whole Western Hemisphere is now rep-
resentatively enjoying in Washington. The George Washington
Memorial Building presents an opportunity for the close linking to-
gether of the co-operative associations of the New World, as intimate
neighbors, gathered beneath the name of Washington under one roof.
Shall not, then, All- America join hands in completing this mucC,
needed memorial building? Then, as the Pan American Puildin^ is
the material expression of co-operation of our Republican Govern-
ments, the George Washington Memorial Building v. i!1 be ihe material
expression of co-operation in all the internal activities of the peoples
of the Western Hemisphere.
Officers of The National Historical Society, of which I am Presi-
dent, regard the completion of this building as so desirable, as so timely
a service to all our American peoples, that we have decided to devote
our energies as largely as possible in its behalf ; and through your col-
umns I respectfully urge the merits of this great patriotic undertaking
upon all the societies and individuals who are now, like myself, en-
joying the hospitality of Washington.

[HEN the George Washington Memorial Building
stands complete, in Washington, D. C, a Memorial to
George Washington and the Signers of the Declara-
tion of Independence, and a home, the meeting-place,
and national headquarters for the patriotic activities
for the entire Country, this magnificent structure, the
plans for which are said to provide for the most beautiful building so
far designed for Washington, will also be a memorial to the inspired
initiative and untiring zeal of a devoted band of American women,
preeminent among whom is Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, of New York and
Washington.
Some years ago Mrs. Dimock accepted the Presidency of the
George Washington Memorial Association, at a time when the pros-
pect seemed hopeless of achieving the purpose of the Association to
provide some Memorial to George Washington which would carry out
the desires in behalf of the American people expressed in his will. In
Mrs. Dimock's mind the conception of the George Washington Memo-
rial Building took shape and grew until she had a clear vision of a
great and beautiful building which should afford the entire Country
the convention facilities so much needed in Washington, while at the
same time providing permanent national headquarters for the patri-
otic, scientific and artistic organizations of the Land.
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
This conception inspired the Association with renewed zeal and
enthusiasm; an architectural competition to secure the best plans was
inaugurated ; the exquisite designs submitted by Tracy & Swartwout,
New York City, were accepted; the interest and endorsement of the
most distinguished public men were obtained ; an ideal site in the Mall,
at Washington, was secured by special Act of Congress ; and the work
of raising funds was prosecuted with such energy and success that
already more than $260,000 have been provided toward the building's
erection. This is the achievement of women, and the supreme achieve-
ment of Mrs. Dimock.
The fact that Mrs. Dimock's life has been filled with the arduous
burdens and responsibilities of a "society woman" has not kept her
from undertakings which we are not accustomed to associate with
"society" nor to expect from those engrossed by the constant demand
of social functions. Her remarkable success in organizing and di-
recting the energies of the George Washington Memorial Association
have revealed a "business woman," with an astonishing talent for exe-
cutive generalship ; her conception and elaboration of the plan of the
George Washington Memorial Building disclose a woman of inspired
vision and imagination; while the perfect character of her technical
historical work in connection with the South Coventry Town Records,
eliciting.the unqualified admiration of the highest experts and special-
ists, has manifested the rarest aptitude for detailed and painstaking
application in historical research.
Suffering in 1897, so as to be almost an invalid, Mrs. Dimock
spent that and succeeding summers in the house where her husband
was born in South Coventry, Connecticut, which town was also the
birthplace of the famous patriot spy of the American Revolution, Na-
than Hale. Well or ill, it is not in Mrs. Dimock's constitution to be idle,
and she interested herself in the Town Records of South Coventry,
which date from early in the Eighteenth century. The records of
those early times are often extremely difficult to decipher; and, in
order to extract the complete records of births, deaths, and marriages,
to which task Mrs. Dimock set herself, it was necessary to read entire
tomes, from cover to cover, as the vital records are often found in
small paragraphs concealed among the longer documents — the doings
at the town meetings, the numberless cattle-brandings registered by
the owners of herds, etc.
By indefatigable labor Mrs. Dimock transcribed exactly all the
vital records covering a period of 140 years, arranged them alphabeti-
cally, and at her own expense published them in a work of which 250
[32]
ACHIEVEMENT BY A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN WOMAN
copies were printed and donated to public libraries throughout the
country. This valuable volume is now difficult to procure, and upon
its appearance was recognized by the New England Register, organ
of the New England Genealogical Society, as containing historical
work of the highest order of its kind which had anywhere appeared in
print.
Mrs. Dimock's work did not stop here, however ; but, as the com-
piler of the South Coventry vital records, she found herself appealed
to from all parts of the Country by those with genealogical puzzles
who implored her, for $25, $50, $100, any amount, in reason, she
might wish to charge, to render assistance. Imagine a wealthy so-
ciety woman importuned as if a professional genealogist. But appeal
was not made to her in vain. Although the petitioners retained all
their fees, Mrs. Dimock freely devoted her time and expert knowledge
to resolve their difficulties, and straightened the crooked trunks and
wandering branches of a large number of family trees for anxious
descendants in all parts of the Country.
But all this involved new original research. Mrs. Dimock soon
recognized that the required solution of problems could only come, very
largely, from the additional information stored up in old deeds, and
in order to work out suitable Indexes of Grantors and Grantees, she
read, page by page, some 19 volumes of the local records, transcribed
every name appearing in the deeds, with whatever context gave genea-
logical information, and arranged them alphabetically. She then
copied, or had copied, the inscriptions from nine or ten cemeteries ;
employed the Town Clerk of the neighboring Town of Mansfield to
transcribe the births, deaths, and marriages, of that town, and took
transcriptions of the records of the two neighborhood churches ; all of
which she printed for distribution.
She also had the genealogical information from the Mansfield
deeds, covering 150 years, extracted, as she had taken it from the
South Coventry deeds had this indexed alphabetically, and placed on
record in the office of the Town Clerk of Mansfield for easy access to
any applicant; while she also had the cemetery inscriptions copied
throughout the town of Mansfield.
She thus made herself the authority on South Coventry and Mans-
field genealogy ; from which it may be inferred that Mrs. Dimock does
not lightly drop any work which she takes in hand. These character-
istics not merely suggest a peculiar appropriateness in her selection for
the patriotic task of serving the entire Country as President of the
George Washington Memorial Association, but also indicate, we judge,
[33]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
something of that tremendous energy, perseverance, thoroughness,
and talent for organizing the efforts of others which have enabled her
first to plan a great patriotic creation, and then to secure, already,
more than a quarter of a million of dollars to carry it into execution.
Such an effort will assuredly be supported by the patriotism of the
American people as soon as its character and importance are gen-
erally realized.

THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE JOURNAL OF
AMERICAN HISTORY
N THIS NUMBER of The Journal of American His-
tory we present the claims of two great patriotic causes ;
and if you contribute to them your contribution will
be a permanent investment, turning itself over and
over, and yielding constant returns in the support and
encouragement of our highest American ideals.
One of these causes is the George Washington Memorial Build-
ing, for which $2,250,000 is yet required.
The other of these causes is The National Historical Society,
which requires a large permanent endowment in order to grapple with
the great need to place The Journal of American History in a million
homes, to inspire patriotism, and to secure the conservation of the his-
torical and genealogical records of the country now deteriorating and
in danger of total destruction.
Can you do one of the following things?
i. Can you make a considerable contribution to advance Ameri-
can patriotism, one-half to the George Washington Memorial Build-
ing, and the other half to The National Historical Society? If you
make your contribution to the Memorial Building through The Na-
tional Historical Society it will render a double service. We will for-
ward it to the George Washington Memorial Association, which will
acknowledge it, with proper certificate, to you, while The Journal of
American History will also acknowledge it. But, as forwarded
through us, it will also be credited toward providing suitable perma-
nent headquarters for The National Historical Society in the George
Washington Memorial Building.

2. Can you contribute $200, $100 for the George Washington
Memorial, and $100 to make you an Original Life-Member Founder
of The National Historical Society?
3. Can you contribute $100, $50 to the George Washington
Memorial Building, and $50 to make both you and some friend Origi-
nal State Advisory Board Founders of The National Historical
Society ?
4. Can you contribute $50, $25 to the George Washington Memo-
rial Building, and $25 to make you an Original State Advisory Board
Founder of The National Historical Society ?
5. Can you contribute $20, $10 to the George Washington Memo-
rial Building, and $10 to make both you and some friend Original
Founders of The National Historical Society?
6. Can you contribute $10, $5 to the George Washington Memo-
rial Building, and $5 to make you an Original Founder of The Na-
tional Historical Society?
7. If you yourself already have contributed all that you feel
you can toward these two causes, can you, and will you, bring to the
attention of your friends the George Washington Memorial Building
and The National Historical Society, as patriotic causes which deserve
the support of every American ?
William
[ILLIAM H. WAY was the son of Henry D. Way and
Betsy Smith Way. He was born in Ashfield, Massa-
chusetts, October 22, 1861, and died in Meriden, Con-
necticut, May 16, 1915.
His parents settled in Meriden when he was four
years old, he was educated in the schools there, and
nearly all his life was passed there.
At the age of twenty-one he began his career as a printer in the
Holyoke Envelope Company. He remained there for a few years, and
then became Editor of The Echo, a newspaper of Huntington, Massa-
chusetts. In 1891 Mr. Way returned to Meriden, to assume the charge
of the Converse Publishing Company. On the death of Mr. A. J. Con-
verse, the head of this organization, the business was re-established,
under the name of the Curtiss-Way Company in 1899, and Mr. Way
was elected Secretary and Manager. In January, 1913, he became
the President of the Curtiss-Way Company, and held this office until
his retirement from business, April 26, 1915, a few weeks before his
death.
Mr. Way was an officer of the corporation which owned and
published The Journal of American History, prior to May, 1911. He
always retained the most sympathetic interest in The Journal, and
when The National Historical Society was formed to support and ex-
tend the work of The Journal he was one of the first to become an
Original Life-Member Founder of the Society, and he was one of the
first elected to the Grand Council of the Vice-Presidents of The Na-
tional Historical Society, representing the State of Connecticut.
He was survived by his wife, Mrs. Lena Tyler Way, a step-
daughter, Miss Pearl Allen Way, and two sisters, Mrs. Elfie Roys of
South Meriden, Connecticut, and Mrs. Arthur L. Clark of Bridge-
port, Connecticut.
The Board of Directors of The National Historical Society
passed the following Resolution as an expression of their earnest sense
of loss at the death of Mr. Way.
"Whereas the sympathetic interest in the welfare and success of

The Journal of American History, always manifested by William H.
Way, who was at one time part-owner of the magazine, was indirectly
a potent factor in the work of the present Editors, through whose
agency The National Historical Society had its inception ; and
"Whereas the same kindly consideration and spirit of co-opera-
tion was shown by Mr. Way to The National Historical Society, of
which he was an Original Life-Member Founder and Vice-Presi-
dent ; and
"Whereas the Directors of the Society feel that his counsel and
friendship would have been of great service to the Society, had it been
the Will of God that "his life should be prolonged;
"Therefore, be it resolved, that the Directors of the Society ex-
tend earnest sympathy to the family of William H. Way in their grief
at his death.
"And be it further resolved that these present resolutions be re-
corded in the minutes of the Society, and a copy thereof sent to Mrs.
William H. Way."

ENRY STEPHEN HAWLEY, Vice-President of
The National Historical Society, was in a special sense
a Founder of the Society. When the plans for such an
organization were laid before the friends of The Jour-
nal of American History by the magazine's Editors,
______ his wise counsel and understanding sympathy were a
bulwark of encouragement, whose value will never be forgotten. He
was elected an Original Life-Member Founder and a Vice-President
of the Society, at its first Directors' meeting held for such elections.
By force of character he impressed himself on all with whom he
had intimate relations. The Raihvay Revieiv, in a memorial article,
said: "In the death of Mr. Henry S. Hawley the world loses a man
of a high type, the city of Chicago one of its most valued citizens, and
the railway supply business one of its most respected leaders."
Of Mr. Hawley as an eminent business leader much might be
said, for "the name of Henry Stephen Hawley stood for sparkling
honesty, absolute financial integrity, and unswerving honor ;" but per-
haps the justest estimates of him as a man came from his associates
in his spiritual life. For Henry Stephen Hawley was a strong, de-
voted Christian, who "lived his religion in health and strength." The
Rector of the Episcopalian Church of the Redeemer in Chicago, of
which he was Senior Warden, wrote: "When I think of our noble
friend with the greatest help and comfort, I think of him as I used to
see his fine, strong face in two particular places. One was in church,
as I used to look upon him from chancel or pulpit, when seriousness
and reverence mingled loftily with the keen intelligence that always
characterized his feaures, and the other was in his home, when genial-
ity and cordiality, generosity and kindliness, beamed from every look
and made him a prince of truest cordiality."
He was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, August 12, 1851, and
died at his summer home, in Saunderstown, Rhode Island, July 22,
1915. He was educated in Bridgeport, but in 1874 removed to Chi-
cago, becoming connected with bridge construction work. He was
elected President of the Chicago, Wisconsin, and Minnesota Railroad,
[39]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
and later held high offices in other railroads. In 1906 he reorganized
the Railroad Supply Company and became its President.
Mr. Hawley took an active interest in politics, being a member
of the Republican Party. He belonged to several clubs, but his chief
interest, outside of his business duties, was his church life. "He was
a man of strong convictions, which he backed up courageously."
On November 3, 1880, he married Miss Lillie Leah Ferguson,
who survives him, with two sons, Royal Duncan Hawley of San Fran-
cisco, and Philip Ferguson Hawley of Chicago. Another son, Henry
Stephen, died in infancy.
The following Resolutions were passed by the Directors of The
National Historical Society after Mr. Hawley's death.
"Whereas, The National Historical Society owes a debt of deep
gratitude to Henry Stephen Hawley, an Original Life-Member
Founder and Vice-President of the Society, for his cordial encour-
agement and wise counsel at the inception of the Society, and whereas
the Directors of the Society esteem it a blessing to have had such co-
operation from a man whose kindly virtues and admirable judgment
were enlightened by his strong faith as a devout servant of our Lord
Christ;
"Therefore, be it resolved, that the Directors of The National
Historical Society extend their heartfelt sympathy to the family of
Henry Stephen Hawley in their grief at his death.
"And be it further resolved, that these present resolutions be re-
corded in the minutes of the Society, and a copy thereof sent to Mrs.
Stephen Hawley."

COLONEL HENRY H. HUMPHREYS, U. S. A., RETIRED
Great-Grandson of Joshua Humphreys
SKETCH of the designer and builder .of our Super-
dreadnaughts of the past accompanies photographic
copies of letters over one hundred years of age. One
letter, dated January 6, 1793, enunciates the principles
of their construction which, in spite of the derisive
term applied to them of "fir built frigates," were vic-
torious in combat. Their victories, nevertheless, caused some nations
to cut down their naval ships to conform to ours. To this day our
navy, with slight changes of expression, is constructed upon the prin-
ciples in the letter to be set forth. Their production herewith pre-
sented in this article proves who was the designer of these vessels, will
set at rest for all time the claims of others for their conception.
Daniel, the grandfather of Joshua Humphreys, Welsh by birth,
in religion a Quaker, came to the Province of Pennsylvania in the year
1682, settling near Philadelphia. He married Hannah Wynne, daugh-
ter of Doctor Thomas Wynne, first Speaker of the Provincial Assem-
bly of that Province. The subject of this sketch, Joshua Humphreys,
was also a Quaker, but read out of Meeting, because of giving his
aid in the Revolution of the Colonies against Great Britain. Being
Welsh, he married Mary David of Welsh parentage.
[49]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Among many papers in possession of the family is one yellow with
age, but the writing legible. That paper is dated the 27th day of the
fifth month of the year 1683, and issued from the Quarterly Meeting
of the Society of Friends at Merionethshire, Wales ; is signed by six-
teen persons, all Quakers, who vouch for the orderly walkings of one
Elizabeth Humphreys, widow of Samuel Humphreys, and her four
children, who intend to remove to Pennsylvania in America and join
her son, Daniel. That paper describes the widow in this manner. "As
to herself, the said Elizabeth is a woman worthy of our recommenda-
tion, for an honest faithful woman, that has been serviceable in
her place, and praiseworthy in her conversations among us."
The children, Benjamin, Lydia, Amy and Gobitha, are mentioned
as being educated, and as "children of honest parents and whom we
have known as tender Plants, growing in that work, the knowledge of
which is the truth and grace of God." Her son, Daniel, is mentioned
as "already gone into Penn., about twelve months since."
Daniel had by his wife sons and daughters, one of whom,
Joshua, married Sarah, daughter of Edward and Eleanor Williams
of Blockley, September n, 1742, and had among other children, one
named Joshua, the designer of "Old Ironsides" and her five sister
ships.
Joshua was born June 17, 1751, in the township of Merion, now
Haverford, in the County of Delaware, Pennsylvania. At fourteen
years of age his parents moved to Philadelphia. Joshua was appren-
ticed to a shipbuilder, Mr. James, or Jonathan, Penrose, "a gentleman
of the highest respectability." Mr. Penrose dying before the appren-
ticeship of Joshua expired, Mrs. Penrose gave him his time. A vessel
was then on the stocks. The owner requested the "young apprentice"
to finish her which was done to the satisfaction of the owner.
Before reaching twenty-one years he entered into business with
a cousin, Mr. John Wharton of Philadelphia, building several ships.
Soon afterwards he received an appointment "at the Continental ship-
yard," to build a frigate of certain dimensions, the Randolph (of un-
happy name), but according to his views of what would be correct.
He was also commissioned by "the Committee of Safety of Phila-
delphia" to build a galley, the first armed vessel built in the Revolu-
tion ; and he was employed by the "Marine Committee" to fit out a
fleet of war vessels, which sailed in 1776 under Commodore Ezek
Hopkins. While Congress was debating whether a national navy
should be built or not, a letter, dated January 6, 1793, addressed to
[50]
WHO BUILT THE FIRST UNITED STATES NAVY?
Robert Morris, was written by Joshua Humphreys, then an experienced
shipbuilder, wherein he set forth the provisions which should govern
the construction of a class of vessels not hitherto in existence. It is
needless to say, those views, being sound, were accepted by the Gov-
ernment. Drafts and moulds of the proposed frigates were directed
to be prepared and sent to selected cities for their building. ( See ac-
companying reproduction of this letter, Document A.)

Joshua Humphreys, accepting the foregoing invitation of General
Knox, relates the subjects under discussion. "I attended; the subject
under consideration was the construction of a navy, whereat I set
forth the principles on which I recommended frigates should be built,
as expressed in a letter which I had addressed to Hon. Robert Morris.
The act of March 27th, 1794, was discussed." Resuming, he says:

"Shortly after the passage of this act I received a letter of which the
following is a copy." (See the reproduction herewith, Document C.)
Resuming, he states: "I have mislaid the copy of my letter to
Genl. Knox of the I2th April, 1794, to which the preceding letter from
him to me of same date replies. This must account for its omission
immediately preceding his. It in effect propounds to construct the
frigates on the same principles as set forth in my letter to Hon. Rob-
ert Morris of the 6. of January 1793, & propounds models for the con-
struction of the frigates in conformity thereto, which were adopted;
& the frigates with the exception of the Chesapeake, built thereon.
On the 2ist and 28th of June 1794, I received instructions as follows:"
(See Documents D and E.)
Humphreys' pen states : "The frigate then built<Jby me, the United
States, was frequently visited during the progress of her building by
President Washington, who expressed deep interest in all that related
to her, & the intended navy." (Document F.)
Further instructions were received July 24, 1794. (See Docu-
ment G and Document H.)
As to the title, "Constructor of the Navy of the United States,"
the correspondence does not show it was withdrawn during the contin-
uance in office of Joshua Humphreys as such. From the instructions
contained in the letter of July 24, 1794, Mr. Fox was not independent
of his chief. From him, he received general or special directions to
carry out. Possibly Mr. Fox offered suggestions in the building of the
frigates which, being considered feasible, were accepted by his chief
and carried out, but that Mr. Fox did build the frigates is rejected in
toto. In all business establishments one head is responsible for the suc-
cess or failure of the work, not the subordinate. Blame for this or that
failure can not be shifted from the shoulders of the chief, unless the
subordinate did not carry out the orders received from the head.
Our frigates of forty-four and thirty-six guns in single combat
were always victorious with the exception of one, the Chesapeake.
Why was that ? It is believed her loss is attributable to the following
reasons.
First, there was violation of the Act of Congress of March 27,
1794, which prescribed the number of frigates, four to carry each for-
ty-four guns, and two frigates each to carry thirty-six guns. Conse-
quently there were three of each class. Secondly, there was radical
departure in the Chesapeake' s construction upon a new plan, differing
from the one sent, which failure will be explained further on. Third,

there was the loss of eight guns, quite an important factor in combat.
Why should not Mr. Fox be held responsible for her loss?
Humphreys, resuming, states: "I had also to provide rough
moulds & instructions to Mr. Morgan, who was sent to Georgia to cut
timber for the frigates. After the drafts, moulds & instructions were
completed & forwarded to the different agents as directed in Genl.
Knox's letter, it was found there was not any person at Norfolk sup-
posed to be capable of building a frigate. Mr. Fox was appointed to
build her. Before he arrived at Norfolk, the keel had been spliced &
laid for the 44 gun ship to be built there. The keel was afterwards cut
to that of a 36 gun ship, on a new draft drawn by Mr. Fox, differing
from the one I had forwarded. By what authority the alteration was
made I never could ascertain. The ship so built was the Chesapeake.
The duties of naval constructor were performed by me, & I was in cor-
respondence with several secretaries of the department, from my ap-
pointment in May 1794, throughout the Washington Administration,
the whole period of the elder Mr. Adams' term, & for a short time un-
der that of Mr. Jefferson. On the 29th of January, 1800, I received
an order from the secretary of the navy to examine the ports of New
London, Newport, Boston, Portsmouth, N. H., Portland & Wicas-set
in Casco Bay, for the purpose of selecting the most suitable place for a
dockyard. This I performed, & duly reported upon. I was also directed
to purchase the navy yard at Philadelphia & to lay out one at Wash-
ington. These things were ordered as I understood, because the elder
Mr. Adams, the President of the United States, was aware of Mr. Jef-
ferson's hostility to an efficient navy, & was resolved to secure all these
points before he went out of office. On the I3th of August, 1801, I
received a letter from the secretary of the navy, from which I insert
the following." ( Document I. )
Humphreys, continuing, states: "A short time afterwards
brought me the following letter dated October 24th, 1801." (See Doc-
ument J.)
In the year 1836 a letter addressed by Joshua Humphreys to Josiah
Barker, naval constructor at Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston, Massa-
chusetts, thanks him for a cane made from some timber taken from
the Constitution when first repaired there.
"Harve township, Delaware county, Pa. : Dear Sir — On my son
Samuel's return from Boston, he presented me with a very handsome
walking cane, made out of a part of the frigate Constitution (Old Iron-
sides), which was taken out of her while under your repairs. This cane

is of double value to me on account of its having been taken from one
of the frigates I constructed in the year 1794, forty- two years ago, un-
der the administration of the ever memorable Washington, and General
Knox, his then Secretary of War. The five frigates, the United
States, the President and Constitution, forty-fours; the Constitution
and Congress, thirty-sixes, were all built by the drafts and molds
sent on by me to the different posts where they were to be built.
"The molds and drafts for the Chesapeake were also sent on by me
to Mr. Pennock, navy agent at Norfolk, for a forty-four, the same size
as the large frigates, and the keel laid. But as there was no person
there who understood the drafts and molds, a Josiah Fox, an English-
man, who was in the mold loft with me, who copied some of the drafts
that were sent out from here to these different builders, was sent to
build her, but instead of conforming to the drafts and instructions
from me, he curtailed the dimensions of that ship from a forty-four to
a thirty-six; but by whose authority the alterations were made I was
never able to find out. This ship always spoke for herself as well as
the others did. Old fellows like myself like to tell what they did in
their younger days, and I will say to you that I built the first frigate
(Randolph), and fitted out the first fleet under Commodore Hopkins,
that sailed under the United States, in the year 1776. The great mark
of attention you have shown men in sending me so beautiful a present
has made me proud, although in my eighty-sixth year of age, a time of
life when I ought to be more humble. The cane I shall leave as a talis-
man to my grandson and namesake, son of my son Samuel, that, should
he ever come into action he will recollect the bravery of the officers of
Old Ironsides. Should you ever come this way I should be most glad
to see you, and spend some time with us. I live in Haverford town-
ship, Delaware county, Pa., seven miles west of Schuylkill bridge. I
am with very great respect, yours, etc., sd. Joshua Humphreys. Ad-
dressed Josiah Barker, Naval Constructor, Charlestown, Mass."
These ships, commanded by gallant captains, manned by good
crews, their fine sailing qualities, magnificent fighting, the universal
successes which attended them in all their encounters with England
and France, caused the United States to be respected abroad. Their
peculiar lines and build created a revolution in all naval vessels which
were subsequently built by foreign nations. Whether this Government
has in its possession a model of the ships is a matter of which the
writer has no positive knowledge, but the family had at its country
place, Pont Reading, Pennsylvania, a model of some size of a ship in

wood, fashioned by the hands of Joshua Humphreys. This model hung
in the mould-loft of the navy yard in Philadelphia, before its abandon-
ment. It was sent to the family by the then chief naval constructor
of the United States, Mr. John Lenthall. The model was subsequently
presented to Independence Hall at Philadelphia, where it is displayed.
On the back of the board to which the model is attached will be found
this: "J. H. fecit 1777."
The construction of the frigate United States, built by Joshua
Humphreys, is typical of her five sister ships with the exception of the
Chesapeake.
The drafts and moulds for the six frigates were closely modeled
after the best French practice of that time and resembled a razeed 74
gun-ship of the line, following closely that curious feature called the
"tumble home," an inward curving of the sides above the water line,
which secured the much desired load line beam without corresponding
bulk above board. Below their water line, their lines were sharp, clean
and clear, cutting the water like a rapier, which in the hands of skillful
fencer glides without effort into the body of the opponent.
Of the six frigates but two remain: the Constitution at the Bos-
ton Navy Yard, and the Constellation at Newport News, Rhode Island,
used as a receiving ship. The President, under command of John
Rodgers, had the honor of firing the first shot in the war with Eng-
land. When under Decatur, in the spring of 1814, near New York
City, she encountered four English frigates which attacked her. After
a terrific contest she was captured and taken to London, England,
where she is to this day exhibited as a trophy. The United States won
renown in action, being classed with the Constitution and Constella-
tion. Long ago she was condemned and broken up. The Congress,
bearing an honorable part in the war of 1812, was blown up in Hamp-
ton Roads, Virginia, in the engagement with the Confederate ram Mer-
rimac, March, 1862. The Chesapeake under Lawrence in the encoun-
ter with the Shannon was captured.
The following points should be noted in the construction of the
frigates. Of the Constitution. — "Her model & armament were copied
by England, & before the naval ward of 1812 had closed, as it was im-
perative to build something that could overtake her." (See pages 2 and
3, chap, i, "The frigate Constitution.") It was important in construct-
ing the frigates to have their decks as far as practicable from eight
to nine feet above the water line with a steady platform, and in that
respect our frigates were superior to the English, ship for ship. Our
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
sailors were handy in all kinds of work; quick to repair any damage
to the ship; apt in gunnery, and improvising sights for guns. The
frigates were heavily sparred. The hardness of the timber and weight,
with the planking, was an advantage. The frigates could go into ac-
tion in weather which rolled the gun ports of the ordinary frigate and
line of battleship under water. It is said that Nelson remarked
on Commodore Dale's squadron, then in the Mediterranean, "There is
in the handling of those trans-atlantic ships a nucleus of trouble for the
Navy of Great Britain." (See page 23, chapter I, "The Constitu-
tion.")
Can the advocates for other claimants to the building of the first
American Navy produce a letter with this address, "Constructor of the
Navy of the United States?" Can they produce any letter showing the
plans of their clients for the construction of our navy were approved
and ordered built by the authorities then in power in preference to
those of Joshua Humphreys? Can they show, if their clients had
plans, why those of Joshua Humphreys were accepted, and not theirs ?
Can they show that'the duties as related in this article were not per-
formed by Joshua Humphreys, but by them ? Why were the plans of
Joshua Humphreys accepted and no notice made of other plans ? If
their clients designed, moulded, built the first navy of the United
States, why do not writers on that subject mention their names? Ex-
cepting the name of Joshua Humphreys, as the designer and builder of
the navy, no other names are mentioned. Such could not have come
from design.
The advocate for one claimant states : "he introduced into the ser-
vice the improved mode of drafting the ships of war & likewise the
manner of making the moulds & taking bevellings of the timber, & he
has reason to believe he was the first person who ever directed putting
togeather a stern frame from moulds of war before it was raised in the
United States." The party states he arrived at Dumfries, Virginia,
October 9, 1793.
In connection with the above claim re-read the letter of January
6th, 1793, wherein is stated : "The greatest care should be taken in the
construction of such ships and particularly all her timbers should be
framed and boulted togeather before they raised." The views just
called to the reader's attention antedate the arrival of that claimant
in this country over nine months.
Attention is invited to two letters from Mr. Timothy Pickering,
Secretary of War, to Mr. Fox, dated May 12, 1795 ; also to one from

Ben Stoddard, likewise Secretary of that department, of August i,
1798, which letters are printed on page 106, of The Journal of Amer-
ican History, First Quarter of the year 1908; also to photographic
copies of letters from Humphreys' correspondence, dated August 2oth,
1827; also to the letter of Humphreys to Secretary Pickering, on learn-
ing from Mr. Fox of that letter. ( Documents K and L. )
Attention is directed to the same Number of The Journal of Amer-
ican History, where, on page 108, third paragraph from the top, it is
said that the "State Department applied to Fox by permission of the
Secretary of war to draft and direct the building of a frigate to carry
36 guns for the Dey of Algiers."
In connection with the above, there are herewith submitted photo-
graphic copies of letters dated July 19, August n, September i, 2 and
25 ; and November 6 and 10, of the year 1797. These letters pertain to
the drafts, building, and equipment of a frigate, brig, and schooner for
the Dey of Algiers. (See accompanying reproductions, Documents M,
N, O. P,Q, R, S,T, andU.)
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Honorable Franklin D. Roose-
velt, before a meeting of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine
Engineers, held in New York, December 10 and n, 1914, addressed
that body on "Our First Frigates: Some Unpublished Facts about
Their Construction." Accompanying the printed address are draw-
ings, illustrating, first, the body plan of the frigates Constitution,
United States, Constellation and Congress; elevation and one-half
breadth of the Constellation; ditto for the Constitution and United
States. These copied drawing are taken from the originals of Joshua
Humphreys on file in the Navy Department of the United States.
This article treats of the Act of Congress, dated March 27, 1794,
which created a navy for the United States of America and none other.
It does not treat of the navy of the United Colonies, or its captains
commanding their vessels of war.

JOSHUA HUMPHREYS TO THOMAS TRUXTON

WHO BUILT THE FIRST UNITED STATES NAVY?
year 1890, chapter 2, page 33; Battles of the British Navy from the
Year 1000 to the Year 1840, by Joseph Allen, Esq., of Greenwich Hos-
pital, London, England, pages 369, 370, 371.
From the last authority cited is taken the following : "The Amer-
ican Navy insignificant, yet as a whole was composed of large & heavy
frigates. Describes a 44 gun frigate ; for many years their actual force
remained a mystery & would probably have never been accurately de-
termined but for praiseworthy patriotic research & inquisitiveness of
the late Mr. James. The added four feet to the extreme breadth of the
President (one of the six frigates built upon the plan of Joshua Hum-
phreys), makes her a larger ship than the generality of British 743,
her yards are square, her masts as stout as theirs. Some idea may be
formed of the size & formidable appearance of the American 44 gun
frigate. In scantlings also, that which the American acknowledge to
be the Slightest built of the frigates (the President) is at least equal
to a British 74 of the largest class." Mr. James proceeds to prove his
case and is successful, winding up with this conclusion. "In fact the
American gun frigates were as they were aptly named by British Offi-
cers, line of battle ships in disguise."
Mr. Upham, the biographer of Timothy Pickering, late Secretary
of War, in Volume 3, page 154, quotes a letter from that Secretary,
dated March 14, 1795, which is addressed to President Washington,
and here condensed. The letter states, the carved work for the frigates
should be relative to their names; but a single carver here competent
(probably W. Rush, marine sculptor), for the work of the frigates
building at Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk ; the captains with Mr.
Humphreys (Joshua), represent the necessity for an early designation
of the names of the frigates; submits to Washington twenty-one se-
lected names in which those of the United States, Constitution, Con-
stellation, President and Congress appear. In reports of the Secretary
of War in January and June, 1797, the names of the first three frigates
mentioned above are applied to them. (See American State Papers,
Naval Affairs, Volume i, pages 25 and 31.) In the Journals of the
United States Senate and House of Representatives for those years
those names are used in proceedings relative to the Navy. From the
above-mentioned letter, it is assumed President Washington approved
the names of the first three frigates, and probably those for the other
two.
Authority for the above is a letter in possession of the writer of
the present article, received from the Congressional Library, Washing-
ton, D. C., dated February 23, 1915.

The Society is to continue in perpetuity.
The particular business and objects of
the Society will be:
(a) To discover, procure, preserve, and perpetuate
whatever relates to History, the History of the Western
Hemisphere, the History of the United States of America
and their possessions, and the History of Families.
(&) To inculcate and bulwark patriotism, in no par-
tisan, sectional, nor narrowly national sense, but in recog-
nition of man's high obligation toward civic righteousness,
believing that human governments are divinely ordained
to bear the sword and exercise police duty for good against
evil, and not for evil against good, and recognizing, as be-
tween peoples and peoples, that "God has made of one
blood all nations of men."
(c) To provide a national and international patri-
otic clearing-house and historical exchange, promoting by
suitable means helpful forms of communication and co-op-
eration between all historical organizations, patriotic or-
ders, and kindred societies, local, state, national, and inter-
national, that the usefulness of all may be increased and
their benefits extended toward education and patriotism.

MABEL THACHER ROSEMARY WASHBURN
:HERE IS NO AMERICAN, with the possible excep-
tion of Lincoln, whose name today means so much
to his countrymen as does that of Washington. The
energies of his enemies during his lifetime were un-
able to weaken the bond which existed between the
_ supreme leader of our struggle for independence and
the people who were freed thereby ; and even the impossible tradition
which has, to a certain extent, displaced the real Washington in our
[241]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
minds has but placed a mist of exaltation about him as a halo. Wash-
ington, the man, we know but vaguely. Washington, the patriot, the
soldier, the hero, lives forever in the visions of the people whose dream
of liberty he made come true.
Yet, curiously, few Americans have any knowledge of the historic
past of the race that produced George Washington. Most of us know
that it was his family Coat-of-Arms which gave the motif for the
American Flag. Even those of us who are uninterested in heraldry,
perhaps considering the subject itself as outside the scope of interest
for citizens of a Republic, can hardly avoid the conclusion that "the
Father of his Country" possessed a right to Arms, that he exercised
that right, and that the founders of the Nation bestowed upon the Ar-
morial Achievements of her First Citizen the supreme honor in their
gift.
During Washington's life, the matter of his English ancestry was
of sufficient interest to evoke enquiries from Sir Isaac Heard, Garter
King-of-Arms, who, in 1791, wrote to the President for datd on his lin-
eage. He learned of the American ancestry of the family, which began
with two brothers, John and Lawrence Washington, who came to Vir-
ginia in 1657.
.The Garter King-of-Arms, however, was satisfied with merely cir-
cumstantial evidence — or, at any rate, he apparently did not pursue his
research after finding in the Heralds' Visitation of Northamptonshire,
1618, a John and Lawrence Washington, sons of Lawrence Washing-
ton of Sulgrave. These two brothers could not possibly have been the
Virginia colonists, for, according to the Visitation, they would have
been men of over sixty years of age in 1657, the year when the Vir-
ginians came over ; and the latter, it is known, were young men on their
arrival.
The error in identification continued to be repeated and believed
until 1863, when an article calling attention to the inconsistencies in
the theory was written for The New England Historical and Genealog-
ical Register by Jsaac J. Greenwood, Junior. Three years later, Colonel
Joseph L. Chester contributed a paper to The Herald and Genealogist,
a London publication, which was later reprinted in two American mag-
azines, this article also referring to the erroneous supposition first haz-
arded by Sir Isaac Heard. Colonel Chester proved conclusively that
the John Washington, son of Lawrence of Sulgrave, far from being the
John Washington of Virginia, was Sir John Washington of Thrapston ;
that both of his wives died in England, the second surviving her hus-
[242]
WASHINGTON S OLD WORLD ANCESTRY
band. It is known that John Washington of Virginia was twice mar-
ried, but that his first wife died in Virginia, and that his second wife,
Ann Pope, who was co-executor of his will, was living in Virginia at
his death and after. Sir John of Thrapston had children, Mordaunt,
John, and Philip. John of Virginia had John, Lawrence, and John. In
addition to this array of facts, Colonel Chester made it clear that Law-
rence Washington, the brother of Sir John of Thrapston, was a clergy-
man of the Established Church of England, and Lawrence Washing-
ton, the Virginia colonist, brother of John of Virginia, was not a
clergyman.
But these demolishers of the false theory failed to offer any evi-
dence in support of a true theory. In 1889 Henry F. Waters published
a paper in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register,
setting forth the results of researches made by him in England on the
Washington ancestry. He found, first of all, that when Lawrence
Washington died in Virginia, although his will was proved there, let-
ters of administration on his property were granted in England, May,
1677, to Edmund Jones, and in the document it was stated that Law-
rence Washington, deceased "in partibus transmarinis," was formerly
of Luton, Bedfordshire, England.
The next discovery was of a bond of John Dagnall, of Grove, in
the Parish of Tring, Hertfordshire, and William Roades of Middle
Claydon, Buckinghamshire, dated 29 January, 1649-50, for adminis-
tration of the property of Andrew Knowling of Tring, deceased, the
administration to continue during the minority of Lawrence Washing-
ton, "the younger," who was stated to be at that time fourteen years
old; the bond being also for their guardianship of this same Lawrence.
Tring is about twelve miles from Luton, where it had been shown
Lawrence Washington of Virginia had lived. The will of Andrew
Knowling was then examined. It. was made 13 January, 1649-50. In
it is the following: "Item I will, give and bequeath unto Lawrance
Washington the younger (my godsonne) All my freehould Landes and
Tenemtes whatsoeu1" lying and being within the pish of Tring aforesaid
or else where within the Realm of England. To haue and to hould the
same to him and his heires for euer. Item I give and bequeath unto
Amphilis Washington my daughter in lawe (& mother of the said Law-
rance, the some of Threescore poundes of Curr1 mony of England to be
paid her within six months after my decease."
Further on in the will, he says: "Item I give and bequeath unto
John Washington, William Washington, Elizabeth Washington, Mar-
[243]
Tin; JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
garett Washington & Martha Washington (children of the said Am-
philis Washington my daughter in Lawe) The some of Eight and
Twenty poundes a peece of Curr1 mony to be paid to them att theire
seu'all & respective Ages of One and Twenty years," etc. He makes
his Godson, Lawrence Washington, the younger, his Executor, with
John Dagnall, John Lake, William Roades, and Elizabeth Fitzherbert
as Administrators.
Amphilis Washington, whom Andrew Knowling calls his daugh-
ter-in-law, could hardly have been to him in the relationship we should
understand by the term — wife of his son — or her name would have
been Knowling and not Washington. She was evidently his step-
daughter. In his will he speaks of Elizabeth Fitzherbert also as his
daughter-in-law, of William Roades as his son-in-law, and leaves a be-
quest to the two daughters of Susan Billing, his deceased daughter-in-
law, whose husband was John Billing, also deceased at the time of An-
drew Knowlton's will. He gives fifty shillings to Susan Emmerton of
Tring, but does not mention her relationship, if any existed, to him.
It seems evident that Andrew Knowling had married a widow,
whose former married name was Roades, and that her children (and,
consequently, his step-children) were William Roades, Amphilis Wash-
ington, Elizabeth Fitzherbert, and Susanna Billing.
But who was the husband of Amphilis Washington, and the father
of Lawrence and John Washington of Virginia? From Lawrence be-
ing called "the younger" it seemed probable that his father had borne
the same name. The Parish Registers at Tring were searched. The
register of 1634 was entitled: "A Regester Booke conteaning all the
names hereafter Named either Baptized, Married or Buried. Bought
by Maister Andreu Knolinge, Richard Hunton," and others who are
named as Churchwardens. Under the baptismal records appeared the
following:
"Crisames sene our Ladie daye Anno Dom 1635 Layarance sonn
of Layarance Washington June the xxiiid':
"Baptized sene our Ladie daye Anno dom 1636 Elizabeth da of
Mr. Larrance Washington Aug xvii "
"Baptized sene Mickellmas daye Anno dom 1641 William sonn of
Mr Larrance Washenton baptized the xiiijth daij"
We have seen that Lawrence Washington was fourteen years old
in January, 1649-50, when John Dagnall and William Roades were
bonded as his guardians and as Andrew Knowling's administrators.
This would make his birth about 1635, and his baptism evidently oc-
curred soon after his birth.
[244]
WASHINGTON S OLD WORLD ANCESTRY
The baptisms of John, Margaret, and Martha Washington, the
other children of Lawrence and Amphilis Washington, named in An-
drew Knowling's will, were not found. John was probably the eldest
son, for in February, 1655-56, there were issued to him Letters of Ad-
ministration on the estate of his mother, Amphilis Washington, whose
burial on 19 January, 1654-55, was recorded in the Registers of Tring.
From the baptismal records quoted above we have seen that Lawrence
was born in 1635, Elizabeth in 1636, and William in 1641. John could
hardly have been under twenty-one when in 1656 he became his
mother's administrator, which would make his birth at least as early as
1634, since his brother, Lawrence, was born in 1635. He was, there-
fore, at least twenty-three years old when he sailed for Virginia, and
Lawrence was then twenty-two.
From the fact that her son, rather than her husband, administered
Amphilis Washington's estate, it is apparent that she was a widow at
the time of her death. The identity of her husband, father of the first
Virginian Washingtons, was established as follows. As noted above,
Andrew Knowling, the step-father of Amphilis Washington, in his will
bequeathed a legacy to the daughters of another step-daughter, Susan,
wife of John Billing. A document was found, wherein John Dagnall,
brother-in-law to the deceased Susan Billing, was bonded as guardian
to Susan Billing's daughters — the daughters who were legatees in An-
drew Knowling's will. With this bond was discovered a little memo-
randum, written in Latin on 'a small piece of paper. It was signed
"Laurentio Washington in Art: ma-gro Surro-g: Offilis" The little
document showed that Lawrence Washington, Master of Arts, was
at its date, 29 January, 1649-50, acting as Surrogate in the Archdea-
con's Court at Whethampsted, and that he was almost certainly a
clergyman, since the office of Surrogate in this Court, — an ecclesiasti-
cal one, — was scarcely ever held at that time by a layman. He appeared
at the Whethampsted Court in connection with the bonding of John
Dagnall as guardian to Susan Billing's daughters, — Susan Billing be-
ing Andrew Knowling's step-daughter, and the sister of Amphilis
Washington. It seems clear that this Lawrence Washington was the
husband of Amphilis Washington, the father of Lawrence "the
younger," and consequently the brother-in-law of Susan Billing regard-
ing whose daughters' guardianship he appeared at the Archdeacon's
Court.
The only Lawrence Washington of whom any record was found,
who was of suitable age to have been in 1649-50 the father of a boy
[245]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
some fourteen years old, as was Lawrence, "the younger," at this time,
and who held the Degree of Master of Arts, and was a clergyman, was
the Lawrence Washington, son of Lawrence Washington of Sulgrave.
This was the man who had appeared in the Northamptonshire Heralds'
Visitation of 1618, and whom Sir Isaac Heard, Garter King-of-Arms,
and later genealogist, assumed to be the Virginia colonist, who came
over with his brother, John, in 1657. We have seen already that the
John Washington, son of Lawrence of Sulgrave, was not the Virginia
colonist, but was Sir John Washington of Thrapston, who lived and
died in England.
Here, then, largely as a result of Mr. Waters' indefatigable and
scientific -researches, was a chain of excellent circumstantial evidence
which seemed to establish as all but absolutely proven the fact that
John and Lawrence Washington of Virginia (the former the great-
grandfather of George Washington) were sons of Reverend Lawrence
Washington, son of Lawrence of Sulgrave, and whose ancestry for
several generations back was recorded in the Heralds' Visitation of
Northamptonshire of 1618. Yet, convincing as were the reasoning and
array of evidence, there lacked the touch of finality which should for-
ever put the subject of Washington's English ancestry beyond ques-
tion.
But in 1892 Mr. Worthington Ford made a wonderful discovery.
In the archives of the State Department at Washington was the will of
Mrs. Martha Hayward of Stafford County, Virginia, which was
proved December, 1697. In it she mentions her "two cousins John &
Augustine the sons of my cozn Lawrence Washington of Westmore-
land County," her "cozen Lawrence Washington son of Mr John
Washington of Westmoreland County," "cozn Nathaniel Washington
son of the said John Washington," "Cozn" Hen: Washington, son of
the said John Washington," and "kinsman Mr John Washington of
Stafford County," She also says : "Item it is my will and desire that my
Exectrs with all Conven1 speed send to England to my Eldest sister Mrs
Elizabeth Rumbold a Tunne of good weight of Tobacco, & the same I
give to her and her heirs forever." She bequeaths a like legacy to "my
other sister Mrs Marg4 Talbut."
The "Cozens" referred to in her will were really nephews and
grand-nephews, for Martha Hayward was before her marriage Mar-
tha Washington, and she was the sister of John and Lawrence Wash-
ington, the Virginia immigrants.
In his will, made "21st of 7ber 1675" and proved "Ye nth Jana:
[246]
WASHINGTON S OLD WORLD ANCESTRY
1677,'' John Washington, the Virginia colonist, says: "Item I doe
giue unto my sister Marthaw Washington ten pounds out of ye mony
I haue in England wl soeuer else she shall be oweing to me for trans-
porteing herselfe into this Country — & a year's accommodation after
her Comeing in & four thousand pounds of tobb00 and Caske."
It will be recalled that in the will of Andrew Knowling Elizabeth
Washington was the first-named daughter of Amphilis Washington,
and Martha the last-named of the daughters.
Lawrence Washington of Sulgrave, father of Reverend Lawrence
Washington, had among other children a daughter, Margaret, who
married, first, Samuel Thornton, and, second — Sandys. Samuel
Thornton's will, made and proved in 1666, had for two of its witnesses,
"Eliza: Mewce," and "Margaret Talbott." It was proved by "Dame
Margaret Sandis als Thornton his Relict & executrix named in the
will." In 1673 Dame Margaret Sandys made her will, which was
proved in 1675, and in it she makes a bequest to "my dear sister
Mewce," while "Elizabeth Mewce" appears as a witness. In 1676
"Elizabeth Mewce in the Co. of Middlesex, widow," made her will
which was proved the same year. She refers to her sister, "the Lady
Washington," her uncle, Robert Washington, her sister, "Mrs. Alice
Sandys," her sister, "Mrs. Frances Gargrave," several other relatives,
and bequeaths five pounds to "Mrs. Elizabeth Rumball, my niece.''
As we have just seen, Martha (Washington) Hay ward, sister of
John and Lawrence Washington of Virginia, calls Mrs. Elizabeth
Rumbold her eldest sister. Elizabeth Mewce was, therefore, aunt to
the Virginia immigrants, as were Dame Margaret Sandys, Mrs. Alice
Sandys, Mrs. Frances Gargrave, and Mrs. Margaret Talbott. As
noted above, Margaret Talbott was, with Elizabeth Mewce, a witness
to the will of Samuel Thornton, the first husband of Dame Margaret
Sandys, who was born Margaret Washington; and Mrs. Martha
(Washington) Hay ward in her will refers to her sister, Mrs. Margaret
"Talbut."
There remains, therefore, but to prove that Mrs. Elizabeth Mewce,
Dame Margaret Sandys, Mrs. Alice Sandys, and Mrs. Frances Gar-
grave, — whose niece, Mrs. Elizabeth Rumbold, was the eldest sister of
Martha (Washington) Hay ward and her brothers, John and Lawrence
Washington of Virginia, — were the daughters of Lawrence Washing-
ton of Sulgrave, whose lineage is traced back in the Northampton-
shire Visitation of 1618.
In this Visitation, Lawrence Washington of Sulgrave and his
[247]
THE JOtRXAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
wife, Margaret Butler, are recorded as having the following children:
William, John, Richard, Lawrence, Thomas, George, "Elizabeth, ux.
Francis Mewce of Holdenby," "Joane, ux. Francis Pill of Maidf ord, co.
Xorhampton," Margaret, Alice, Frances. Here then we have Law-
rence (the Reverend Lawrence Washington, M. A., father of the Vir-
ginia immigrants) ; Mrs. Elizabeth Mewce (whose niece, Mrs. Eliza-
beth Rumbold, was sister to the immigrants) ; Margaret (Dame Mar-
garet Sandys, as is evidenced by the fact that Mrs. Elizabeth Mewce
was her sister) ; Alice (Mrs. Alice Sandys, as showrn by the will of her
sister, Mrs. Mewce) ', Frances (Mrs. Frances Gargrave, as in this same
will).
In the Visitation it is shown also that Lawrence Washington of
Sulgrave, grandfather of the immigrants, had one sister, Elizabeth,
and one brother, Robert Washington. This was the "Uncle Robert
Washington," mentioned in the will of Mrs. Elizabeth Mewce. Dame
Margaret Sandys, in her will, also speaks of her uncle, Robert Wash-
ington.
The ancestry of George Washington, down to the first of his line
in America, is traced to the Visitation of Northamptonshire, made by
the Heralds in 1618, for seven generations. It begins with John Wash-
ington of Tuwhitfield, Lancashire, w:ho lived probably in the middle
part of the Fifteenth Century. His son, Robert, lived at Warton, Lan-
cashire. He married — Westfield, and had issue, John Washington.
The latter was also of Warton. His wife was Margaret, daughter of
Robert Kitson. Her brother was a Knight, Sir Thomas Kitson of
London.
Lawrence Washington, son of John and Margaret (Kitson)
Washington, removed to Northamptonshire. He was evidently en-
gaged in the profession of trie law, as the Visitation records him as of
Gray's Inn, one of the Inns-of -Court of London. He became Mayor of
Northampton. In 1538 or 1.539 he received a grant of the Manor of
Sulgrave in Northamptonshire. This land had belonged to the' Priory
of Saint Andrew, which had been seized by Henry the Eighth. Law-
rence Washington received at the same time other land which had been
the Priory's — in Sulgrave Woodford, Stotesbury, and Colton. He had
also other land in Sulgrave which belonged to the Priories of Canons
Ashby and Catesby. His second wife was Amy, the daughter of Rob-
ert Pargiter of Gretworth, Gentleman. She died 6 October, 1564. Her
husband made his will 18 October, 1581, and it was proved n Feb-
ruary, 1584-85.

WASHINGTON S OLD WORLD ANCESTRY
Lawrence Washington, and his wife were buried in Saint James'
Church at Sulgrave, and were commemorated by a stone with brass
plates, on one of which were the Washington Arms. There were also
effigies of Lawrence and Amy Washington, and of their eleven chil-
dren, and an inscription relating the deaths of the husband and wife.
A son of the foregoing was Robert Washington of Sulgrave. He
sold Sulgrave Manor to, his nephew, Lawrence Makepeace, in 1610.
The latter's son, Abel, sold the Manor to Edward Plant. He disposed
of it to the Reverend Moses Hodges, to whose descendants it passed
down, and by them is owned at the present time. Sulgrave was listed in
Domesday Book, and in 1330 was recorded as belonging to the Prior
of St. Andrew.
Robert Washington's first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Rob-
ert Light of Radway, Warwickshire. He made his will 7 February,
1619-20, and it was proved the following January. His eldest son was
Lawrence Washington. After the sale of Sulgrave Manor by his
father he removed to Brington, a few miles from Northampton. It
was through the marriage of Lawrence Washington to Margaret But-
ler that royal ancestry belonged to the man who, above all others, made
successful America's revolt against the King of England. The outline
of Washington's Butler descent, and his lineage in the other notable
families brought into his ancestry through the marriage of Lawrence
Washington to Margaret Butler, will appear below.
The marriage took place in Saint Leonard's Church, Aston-le-
Walls, Northamptonshire, 3 August, 1588. One of their children was
Thomas Washington, who was a page of Prince Charles, later King
Charles I, and died in Madrid in 1623, while attending the Prince on
the latter's romantic visit to Spain to see and woo for himself the Span-
ish Infanta.
Lawrence Washington died 13 December, 1616, and was buried
in the Church of the Blessed Virgin at Brington, where a memorial
stone tablet may still be seen, recording his death, and emblazoning the
Washington Coat-Armor with the Arms of his wife, Margaret Butler,
impaled. In the church is also a tablet recording the deaths of Robert
Washington, the brother of Lawrence, and Robert's wife, Elizabeth.
Fac-similies of these two stones were in 1860 presented to Charles
Sumner by Earl Spencer. The Spencer estate of Althorp is near Bring-
ton, and the family's parish-church is at Brington, many Spencer me-
morials being therein. Mr. Sumner gave the stones to the State of
Massachusetts, and they are now in the State House at Boston.
[2491
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Lawrence Washington, son of Lawrence and Margaret (Butler)
Washington, the father of the Virginia colonist, was matriculated at
Brasenose College, Oxford, 2 November, 1621, according to the Col-
lege Registers, but it is said he entered Brasenose about two years be-
fore. In 1623 he received the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, and later
became a Fellow of Brasenose. He served as Lector of the College
from 1627 to 1632, and was appointed a Proctor of the University 20
August, 1631. In March, 1632-33, he became Rector of Purleigh, in
Essex. Sometime after this he married Amphilis Roades.
When the Civil War between the King's Party and the Parlia-
mentarians broke out the Washingtons seem to have been without
exception ardently loyal to the King. Lawrence Washington suffered
for his convictions as to patriotism, for in November, 1643, he was
ejected from his rectorship by order of the Parliament. Partisan feel-
ing in those days, as in every age, excited men's prejudices to fever
heat. In the eyes of the extremists among the Cavaliers the Parliamen-
tarians,— practically all Puritans, — were disloyal citizens both as to
Church and State. Their peculiar religious views and customs were re-
garded as hypocritic cant. On the other hand, the Puritans in many
cases believed all King's Men to be dissolute in morals and conscience-
less as to religion. Their fidelity to the Throne was called time-serv-
ing sycophancy; their conformity to the State Church was but a blind
following of forms and ceremonies. Both sides were bitter and un-
charitable, and it was but natural that they should be so.
So it is with understanding of this factional spirit of the times
that we must read the following accusation of Lawrence Washington,
the charge against him being utterly denied by other contemporary ac-
counts. In 1643, tne Year °f his expulsion from Purleigh Church, a
violent diatribe was published by one John White and printed by order
of the Parliament. It was entitled "The First Century of Scandalous,
Malignant Priests Made and Admitted into Benefices by the Prelates
in Whose Hands the Ordination of Ministers and Government of
the Church hath been." In this book was the following:
"The Benefice of Lawrence Washington, Rector of Purleigh in
the County of Essex, is sequested, for that he is a common f requenter
of Ale-houses, not onlley himselfe sitting dayly tippling there, but also
incouraging others in that beastly vice, and hath been often drunk, and
hath said, That the Parliament have more Papists belonging to them in
their Annies than the King had about him or in his Army, and that the
Parliaments Armie did more hurt than the Cavaliers and that they did
[250]
WASHINGTON S OLD WORLD ANCESTRY
none at all; and hath published them to be Traitors, that lend to or as-
sist the Parliament."
As an offset to the foregoing is this, from the contemporary "Suf-
ferings of the Clergy," by John Walker, published in London, 1714.
"Purleigh, R., one of the Livings in these Parts :
"To which he had been Admitted in March, 1632, and was Se-
questered from in the Year 1643, which was not thought Punishment
enough for him, and therefore he was also put into the Century, to be
transmitted to Posterity, as far as that Infamous Pamphlet could con-
tribute to it, for a Scandalous, as well as a Malignant Minister, upon
these weighty Considerations. That he had said 'the Parliament have
more Papists belonging to them in their Armies, than the King had
about him, or in his Army, and that the Parliament's Army did more
Hurt than the Cavaliers, and that They did none at all, and had Pub-
lished them to be Traytors, that lent to, or assisted the Parliament.'
"It is not to be supposed, that such Malignant could be less than
a Drunkard, and accordingly he is charged with frequent Commissions
of that Sin, and not only so, but with Encouraging others in that Beast-
ly Vice. Altho' a Gentleman (a Justice of the Peace in this County)
who Personally knew him, assures me, that he took him to be a Worthy,
Pious Man, that as often as he was in his Company, he always appeared
a very Modest, Sober Person, and that he was Recommended as such,
by several Gentlemen, who were acquainted with him before he himself
was. Adding withal that he was a Loyal Person, and had one of the
best Benefices in these Parts, and this zvas the ONLY Cause of his Ex-
pulsion, as I verily believe. After which, he subjoyns, that another
Ancient Gentleman of his Neighborhood, agrees with him in this Ac-
count. Mr. Washington was afterwards permitted to Have, and Con-
tinue upon a Living in these Parts, but it was such a Poor and Miser-
able one, that it was always with Difficulity that anyone was pur-
suaded to Accept of it.*'
A letter, preserved in the Bodleian Library and written by Henry
Ayloffe, says of the Rector of Purleigh: "I doe not remember that
ever I knew or heard of Mr. Washington after he had been sequestered,
but there was then one Mr. Roberts a neighbor of mine who was owner
and patron of a parish so small that nobody would accept of his church
(but with difficulty) and Mr. Roberts entertained Mr. Washington,
where he was suffered quietly to preach. I have heard him and took
him to be a very worthy pious man. I have been in his company there,
and he appeared a very modest sober person, and I heard him recom-
[251]
THE JOURXAI. OF AMKKICAX HISTORY
mended as such- by several gentlemen who knew him before I did. He
was a loyal person, and had one of the best benefices in these parts,
and this was the only cause of this expulsion as I verily believe."
It was this letter which was evidently the basis for the statements
in the "Sufferings of the Clergy," quoted above. Mr. Waters, who
found the letter, was able to make out the name of Braxted in the last
paragraph, which was only partly decipherable, and this makes it very
probable that Braxted Parva, in Essex, was the parish to which Law-
rence Washington retired after leaving Purleigh. Thomas Roberts
owned this living, which was a very small and unimportant one. But
in the Parish Registers of All Saints' Church at Maiden, in Essex, is
recorded the death in 1652 of "Mr. Lawrence Washington," who is
believed to have been the Reverend Lawrence Washington, former
Rector of Purleigh.
The above-quoted letter was written by Henry Ayloffe. He was
undoubtedly of the family of Sir Benjamin Ayloffe of Braxted, whose
wife was Martha Tyrell. Her mother was Martha Washington, the
daughter of Sir Lawrence Washington. He was the son of Lawrence
Washington, whose father, Lawrence, was the great-grandfather of
the Rector of Purleigh. The latter was, therefore, in the relation to
Martha Tyrell, wife of Sir Benjamin Ayloffe, of second cousin once
removed.
As has been seen, the Reverend Lawrence Washington married
Amphilis Roades. She died in January, 1654-55. Their children
were: John and Lawrence, the Virginia immigrants; Elizabeth, who
married — Rumball or Rumbold; William; Margaret, who married—
Talbott ; and Martha, who followed her two brothers to America, mar-
ried Nicholas ( ?) Hayward, and died in 1697.
Before tracing the line of George Washington's ancestry in
America, it will be of interest to follow back his lineage from Mar-
garet Butler, the grandmother of John Washington, the first of the
line here, for she brought to the Washingtons, to be transmitted down
to the greatest of American patriots, the strain of blood royal.
The Plantagenet dynasty descended from the Counts of Anjou in
France, whose ancestry begins with Ingelgerius. He was father of
Fulk the Red, who was Count or Viscount of Anjou. He was succeeded
by his son, Fulk the Good, who reigned from 941 or 942 to about 960.
The latter's son, Geoffrey "Greytunic," was the next Count, reigning
till 987. He enlarged by conquest the borders of Anjou, and his valor-
ous deeds were sung in the ballads of the time. His wife was Adela
of Vermandois.
[252]
WASHINGTON S OLD WORLD ANCESTRY
"Greytunic's" son, Fulk the Black, succeeded his father in 987. He
began the conquest of Touraine for Anjou, and built a great line of
castles for defence. He was a man of violent passions, but with a
noble capacity for penitence. In order to give token of his sorrow for
a great crime he went three times on pilgrimages to the Holy Land,
and an old legend tells that he caused his servants to scourge him all
the way with branches of the Broom plant, the "Plantagenista," from
whence the name of Plantagenet is said to have come to his race. He
founded the Abbeys of Beaulieu, near Loches, of Saint Nicholas at
Angers, and of Ronceray at Angers, and built other religious houses.
He died at Metz, on his way home from his third pilgrimage, in 1040.
His first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Bouchard the Venerable,
Count of Vendome. He married, second, Hildegarde of Lorraine.
Geoffrey "Martel," — "The Hammer,"— was the son of Fulk the
Black and Hildegarde of Lorraine. He was born in 1006, and on his
father's death became Count of Anjou, the only issue of Fulk's first
marriage being a daughter. He was a wild, turbulent figure of a dark
and lawless period, wherein only the golden-lambent torch of the Chris-
tian Faith made bright places in the gloom. Geoffrey married Agnes,
the widow of William the Great, Duke of Aquitaine, but died without
issue in 1060.
The next Count of Anjou was Geoffrey's nephew, Geoffrey III,
"The'Bearded," who was the son of Ermengarde, the daughter of Fulk
the Black and Hildegarde of Lorraine. Ermengarde married Geof-
frey, Count of Gatinais. The right of Geoffrey the Bearded was dis-
puted by his younger brother, Fulk le Rechin, "The Cross-Looking."
He imprisoned Geoffrey, for which deed of violence and usurpation
he was called to account by the Pope and was compelled to release his
brother. He was, however, finally successful in his efforts and was
recognized as Count of Anjou. His successor was Fulk V, "The
Young," his son by Bertrade de Montfort.
It was during his reign that war broke out between England and
Anjou. The English King, Henry I, was also Duke of Normandy,
and both Normandy and Anjou claimed Maine. The struggle was
brought to an end, for the time, at least, by a series of diplomatically
arranged marriages between the two claimant families. Henry's eld-
est son, William the Aetheling, married Fulk's daughter, Matild'a. The
Count's second daughter, Sybil, became the wife of William Clito, the
son of Robert "Curthose," whose father was William the Conqueror.
Fulk gave his daughter Maine for a wedding dowry. In 1127 the
[253]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
daughter of Henry I, Matilda, married Fulk's son, Geoffrey the Fair,
— Geoffrey Plantagenet.
Count Fulk visited the Holy Land in 1120, and in 1129 he married
Melisinda, the daughter of Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem, receiving
the right of succession to the throne. He became King of Jerusalem
in 1131. He died in 1133 after a wise and prosperous reign. Two of
his sons, Baldwin III and Amalric, followed him on the throne of the
Holy Land.
Geoffrey the Fair, son of Fulk, was the next Count of Anjou. As
stated above, he married Matilda, daughter of Henry I of England.
He was an able, energetic ruler, and did much for Anjou. He sup-
pressed revolts of the great nobles who were his feudal vassals, and
left the Countship to his son, Henry, in a strong, prosperous condi-
tion. It was Geoffrey's soubriquet of "Plantagenet" which gave its
name to the great dynastic house of England. He is said to have worn
frequently the Broom flower as an ornament in his cap.
Henry in 1 1 54 succeeded, through right of his mother, to the
English crown as Henry II. He married Eleanor of Aquitaine and
thus was ruler, not only of England, but of a large territory in France
—Normandy, Anjou, and Aquitaine. His history as England's king
is well known. His abilities no one can question. He put down with
a strong hand the Barons who had waxed daringly bold in their inde-
pendence during the turbulent times of Stephen and Matilda. It was
in his reign that Ireland came under the rule of England. Henry
seems to have been a typical Plantagenet, — or, perhaps, one should say
a typical Angevin, for the characteristics we associate with many of
the Plantagenets seem to have been derived from their Angevin an-
cestors. They loved wildly, hated ruthlessly, sinned terribly, and—-
some of them — repented with deep and noble contrition. Henry's long
struggle against Saint Thomas a Becket, his instigation to the Arch-
bishop's murder, were followed by acknowledgment of his guilt, and
humble penance at the Saint's shrine at Canterbury.
The next in the line of Washington's royal ancestry was John,
who ascended the throne in 1 199. His memory has been a hateful one
to the English people, although in some respects he does not appear to
have been much worse than many other monarchs of his time, — which
is, however, perhaps but "faint praise." Certainly he played against
all parties and kept faith with none, except when he was forced to do so.
He was married three times, to Alice of Morlaix, to Isabel of Glouces-
ter, and to Isabel of Angouleme. Isabel of Angouleme was the mother
of Henry III.
[254]
WASHINGTON S OLD WORLD ANCESTRY
Henry succeeded his father in 1216, — the year after Magna Char-
ta. He seems to have been a man of good character personally, but was
not a popular monarch. He was largely concerned with the governance
of his lands over-seas in France, and was quite as much of a French-
man as an Englishman, which might be said of all the early Norman
rulers of England.
Edward I, the eldest son of Henry III and Eleanor of Provence,
was named after Saint Edward the Confessor, the last of the Saxon
kings of England, for whom Henry had earnest devotion. His was one
of the great reigns of English monarchs. The conquest of Wales and
the victorious war with Scotland are the chief activities which most of
us associate with Edward. He was a wise ruler and has always held
his place as a noble figure in English history. His first wife was
Eleanor, daughter of Saint Ferdinand, King of Castile. She, as will
appear below, was also an ancestress of George Washington, but it is
with his descent from King Edward's second wife that we are now con-
cerned.
She was Margaret, daughter of Philip III of France, and grand-
daughter of Saint Louis. Through her, Washington descended from
Hugh Capet, founder of one of the greatest dynasties of France, which
ruled the kingdom for six centuries.
Edmund, the son of Edward and Margaret, was known as Ed-
mund of Woodstock, from his birth there on 5 August, 1301. In 1321
his half-brother, King Edward II, made him Earl of Kent, and
throughout the King's life he displayed the greatest favor and brotherly
affection for Edmund. He was a member of the Council at the acces-
sion of Edward III, but soon after became involved in a conspiracy to
restore Edward II, who, through the enmity of Queen Isabel and
Roger Mortimer, the Queen's lover, Edmund was tricked into believing
was alive. He was accused of treason to the reigning king, and was be-
headed on 19 March, 1330.
The Earl's wife was Margaret, daughter of John, Lord Wake. Of
their children, the eldest son, Edmund, was recognized as Earl of Kent,
but died in childhood. He was succeeded by the second son, John, who
died without issue. The next holder of the Earldom was a woman,
Joan, the daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, son of Edward I. "The
Fair Maid of Kent," as she was called, was thrice married. Her first
husband was Sir Thomas de Holland, who attended Parliament as Earl
of Kent. He died in Normandy in 1360. Joan married, second, Mon-
tague, Earl of Salisbury, and after his decease she became the wife of
[255]
TI:;-; JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Edward, "the Black Prince," and was the mother of King Richard II.
Thomas de Holland, son of Joan and Sir Thomas de Holland, suc-
ceeded his father in the Earldom of Kent. He was born in 1350 and
died in 1397. He was always held in high esteem and favor by his half-
brother, Richard II, and was Marshal of England from 1380 to 1385.
He married Alice, the daughter of Richard, Earl of Arundel, one of
the noblest of England's great families. There is an old Sussex rhyme :
"Since William rose and Harold fell
There have been Earls of Arundel."
Washington's ancestry in this interesting line may be briefly sum-
med up as follows :
John, Lord of Arundel, Clun, and Oswaldestre, was prominent in
the reign of Henry III, and died in 1267. His son, John, Lord of
Arundel, had issue, Richard Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel. He fought gal-
lantly in the wars of Edward I in France and Scotland, and died in
1302. His son, Edmund, married Alice, the sister of John, Earl de
Warenne. Their son, Richard, served under Edward III in his wars
in the Low Countries, and was at many of the famous sieges and battles
of the period. He inherited the estate and title of his uncle, the Earl
de Warenne, and in 1361, became Earl of Warenne or of Surrey.
The Earldom of Surrey belonged to the family of de Warenne
since the time of William de \Varenne, a Norman companion of the
Conqueror, on whom the latter bestowed this English rank and pos-
session. The titles of Earl of Surrey and Earl de Warenne seem to
have been used interchangeably. Through the de Warenne ancestry
Washington had another royal lineage, — but one "of the left hand."
An illegitimate half-brother of Henry II, Hamelin Plantagenet, mar-
ried Isabel de Warenne, and assumed her name.
It was this Richard, Earl of Arundel and of Surrey, whose
daughter, Alice, married Thomas de Holland, Earl of Kent. Eleanor,
the daughter of the latter, — the Earl of Kent and his wife, — died in
1405. She married Edward Charlton, Baron of Powys, who died in
1421.
Through this marriage George Washington was descended from
the ancient Welsh princes. The Barony of Powys was created for
John de Charlton, who married Hawys. She was born in 1291, and
was the daughter of Owen de la Pole and Joanna, daughter of Robert
Corbet of Morton. Owen de la Pole was the great-great-grandson of
Gryffith, Lord of Powys. Gryffith was the son of Meredith, Prince
of Powys, who died in 1 129, and was called "Meredith ap Blethyn," —

"son of Blethyn." This Blethyn descended from Mervin, Prince of
Powys, whose line stretches far back to Cadwan, 635, King of the
Britons who fled to the wild Welsh mountains after the final establish-
ment of the Saxon power in Britain.
The Charlton ancestry begins with John de Charleton or Charlton,
who died in 1353. His son and heir, John, married Maud, daughter of
Roger de Mortimer, Earl of March. They had issue, John, who mar-
ried Joan, daughter of Ralph, Lord Stafford. Edward de Charlton,
son of John and Joan de Charlton, married Eleanor, daughter of the
Earl of Kent, as stated above.
The lineage of Joan de Stafford, wife of John de Charlton, goes
back to Robert de Stafford and his wife, Avice de Clare, their son,
Nicholas de Stafford, being Sheriff of Staffordshire in the reign of
Henry I.
Through the Staffords Washington inherited a second strain of
royal ancestry. Ralph Stafford (father of Joan, who married John
Charlton), married Margaret Audley. She was the daughter of Hugh
Audley, who became Earl of Gloucester, and Margaret de Clare, whose
first husband was Piers Gaveston, the favorite of Edward II. Mar-
garet de Clare's father was Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Hertford and
Gloucester, whose wife was the Princess Jane, daughter of King Ed-
ward I and his first wife, Eleanor of Castile.
Eleanor brings into the brilliant background of Washington's an-
cestral past, already so vivid with heroic and romantic figures — Kings
and Queens and Knights, reckless, half-pagan nobles and devoted Saint
—the flashing glory of Spain in her days of splendid adventure against
the Moorish invaders of her Christian land.
It would need a supreme intelligence to seek out and discover the
character-results through blood-inheritance of a man like George
Washington — or of any human being. . The hereditary influences
which have come down through the myriad streams of generating force
act and re-act upon each other, and upon that mysterious Energy which
is distinctive and separate in each individual, in a way too subtle to be
accurately estimated in a finite balance. But even if we cannot analyze
the occult processes of life-transmission through successive ages, yet
we can trace some of the external channels through which the multitud-
inous streams of life have flowed down and together into one per-
sonality.
Eleanor was the daughter of St. Ferdinand, the King of Spain,
whose lineage begins with Sancho III, of Navarre, who married Nuga
[265]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Elvira, Heiress of Castile. He began to reign, with the title of Em-
peror of Spain, about the year 1000.
The Mortimer family, which comes into Washington's pedigree
through the marriage of another John de Charlton with Maud de Mort-
imer, as mentioned in the above summary of the Charlton line, was one
of the greatest in England and Wales. They descended from Hugh,
a Norman, who in early life was married to a niece of Herfast the
Dane. Later he entered the Church and became Bishop of Contances
in the latter part of the Tenth Century. One, and perhaps two, of his
grandsons fought at Hastings with the Conqueror.
Roger de Mortimer, the first Earl of March, whose daughter,
Maud, married John de Charlton, was the great-grandson of Ralph de
Mortimer, who married Gladuse (Gladys) Dhu, a daughter of Prince
Llewellyn of Wales. Llewellyn's wife was Joan, daughter of King
John of England, which brings another strain of royal ancestry into
the Washington blood. Prince Llewellyn was descended from the
Kings of Wales, tracing back to the same King Cadwan, from whom
it has been seen Hawys, who married John de Charlton, was also de-
scended.
Returning to the lineage through the Charlton family of Wash-
ington's English ancestry, we find that Edward de Charlton and his
wife, Eleanor, daughter of the Earl of Kent, had a daughter, Joyce
Charlton, born in 1403. She became the wife of Sir John Tiptoft.
The Tiptoft name seems originally to have been Tibetot, or Tybe-
tot, and the line goes back to Henry de Tibetot, living in the reign of
King Henry III. His son, Robert, was Governor of several great cas-
tles, among them Nottingham, and, as the King's Lieutenant in Wales,
won important victories against the Welsh. He married Eve, the
daughter of Pain de Chaworth, and their son, Sir Pain de Tybetot, also
called Tiptoft, was a Knight, and was summoned to Parliament as a
Baron. His wife was Agnes, daughter of William, Baron de Ros of
Hemlake. The line goes down thence through Sir John, Knight and
Baron, then Sir Pain de Tybetot, and another Sir John, who held sev-
eral high offices, among them those of Treasurer of the Royal House-
hold, Seneschal of Aquitaine, and Treasurer of Normandy. His sec-
ond wife was Joyce Charlton.
Their daughter, Joyce Tiptoft, married Edmund de Sutton. As-
ton-le-Walls, in whose church Lawrence Washington and Margaret
Butler, grandparents of George Washington's first American ancestor,
were married, came down to the Butlers through their Sutton inheri-

tance, and, still further back, through the marriage of Rowland dc
Sutton, to Alice, daughter and co-heiress of Richard de Lexinton.
Richard de Lexinton of Tuxford, Nottinghamshire, lived in
the reign of King John and was the son of Robert de Lexinton. Row-
land de Sutton, son of Hervey de Sutton of Sutton-on-Trent, Notting-
hamshire, who married Alice de Lexinton, as noted above, was de-
scended from one Hervey or Hervius, a tenant of the Earl of Richmond
in the Conqueror's time. He was known, it is said, as Hervius of South
Town, then of Sudtown, the name finally becoming Sutton.
William de Sutton, son of Rowland de Sutton and Alice de Lex-
inton, became the possessor of the estates of Warsop in Nottingham-
shire and Aston-le- Walls, Northamptonshire, the first coming to him
through his Sutton inheritance, and Aston-le-Walls through his mother.
One of Washington's ancestors in this family, Sir John de Sut-
ton, who lived in the reigns of Edward II and Edward III, married
Margery, daughter of Roger de Somery, Baron of Dudley. She was
the co-heiress of her brother, John de Somery, and thus the title of
Baron Sutton de Dudley came to her husband and their descendants.
It was one of the latter, John de Sutton, the sixth Baron Sutton de
Dudley, who in 1456 presented Aston-le-Walls to his son, Edmund,
who married Joyce Tiptoft.
Edmund Sutton pre-deceased his father, and Edmund's son, Ed-
ward, became the owner of Aston-le-Walls. He entered into an agree-
ment in 1530 with his brother, John, that the latter should hold this
Manor during his lifetime, but that it should afterwards pass to John's
daughter, Margaret. Margaret Sutton married John Butler, son of
Ralph Butler of Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, and thus Aston-le-
Walls came into the Butler family's possession.
John Butler died in 1563 and his wife, Margaret Sutton, in the
same year, the burials of both being recorded on 17 April. Their third
son, William Butler of Tighes, Sussex, was the next ancestor in Wash-
ington's pedigree. He had three sons and two daughters, and one of
the latter was Margaret Butler, who, on 3 August, 1558, in the Church
of Saint Leonard at Aston-le-Walls, became the wife of Lawrence
Washington of Sulgrave.
Aston-le-Walls passed down to a great-grandson of John Butler
and Margaret Sutton, Alban Butler, who died leaving a daughter,
Elizabeth, as sole heir. She married Francis Plowden of Plowden,
Shropshire, and so the Manor became a part of the Plowden estates
which it is at the present time. The owner in 1909 was William Fran-
[268]
WASHINGTON S OLD WORLD ANCESTRY
cis Plowden, Esq. The Plowdens were one of the families of the Eng-
lish gentry who remained Catholic at the time of the Protestant Refor-
mation and some of the Butlers also of this branch were Catholics.
One of these was the Reverend Alban Butler, the famous biographer
of the Saints, born in Northampton in 1710.
So here has been briefly told an outline story of the English ances-
tors of George Washington, — the men and women who helped to give
to America the greatest of her sons. It will be asked doubtless by
many, what interest have Americans in this winding thread of gene-
alogical lore. But if Pope was right, that "the noblest study of man-
kind is man," then it is surely of a vital interest to all true patriots to
learn all that can be learned as to the forces which were united in
Washington. Only the merest condensation of his ancestral record has
been possible to give here; yet even that may well furnish subject for
reflection upon the fact that he was what he was to a great extent be-
cause of what his ancestors were before him. It is true that each soul
possesses a Something, indefinable and separate, which is the result of
a special creative act, so far as we can judge ; and it is also true that en-
vironment and education do much towards the development of a char-
acter. But, in addition to the character-results of individual type and
of environment, it is manifest, not only to biologists and physiologists,
but to any observing mind, that tendencies, habits, tastes, instincts — all
that go to make up personality — are more than anything else the out-
come of heredity.
An inheritor of the blood which flowed and still flows in most of
the royal dynasties of Europe, heir through his ancestry to the forceful
men who, for good or evil, were the conquerors, the monarchs, the auto-
crats, of the Old World, it remained for George Washington to use all
this accumulated capacity for dominance and for conquest for the sole
and glorious purpose of freeing his country from the rule of tyrants
and establishing her, the Queen of Liberty, among the great nations
of the earth.

THE HONORABLE ELIHU B. ROOT
R. CHAIRMAN, Ladies, and Gentlemen: I shall not
at this hour detain you by any extended remarks, and
I should apologize for having no prepared address.
The subject is one which is very interesting to me, and
must be very interesting, I think, to everyone who
thinks about international affairs or who thinks about
the possibilities of the future of his country. Should international
law be codified; and, if so, should it be done through governmental
agencies or by private scientific societies?
If that means, should we undertake to put the law of nations
into a single body which shall be the rule and guide for international
relations, I think we must answer, no ; that it is impossible at the pres-
ent time. Mr. Field made a valiant attempt, Bluntschli a great effort,
but the formation of international law, still in its infancy, is a process
only just begun, and it has not reached a point where the rules can be
embodied in a code. <*-
On the other hand, codification, considered not as a result, but as
a process, seems to me plainly should be attempted and pressed for-
ward and urged with all possible force. It is curious that codification
should be especially necessary in a system of law which is based upon
custom more exclusively even than municipal law, but that is necessa-
[273]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
rily so in the case of the law of nations, because there are no legisla-
tures to make the law and there are no judicial decisions to establish by
precedent what the law is.
One great weakness of international law has been that, to ascer-
tain what it was, you have to go to text writers and to a great variety
of statements, differing, inconsistent, many of them obscure and
vague, capable of different interpretations, so that, the instant that the
occasion for the application of a law conies, there is pressed upon con-
flicting nations or disputing nations the question as to -what the law
is, without any clear and definite standard from which to ascertain it.
Recent events — or, rather, the realization of the truth which
comes from a great war in Europe — compel us to consider the great
shortcomings of what we think of as international law, to consider how
narrow the field which it covers, how vague and uncertain it is within
its own field, and how difficult it is to compel in any way a recognition
of its rules of right conduct.
There is but one way in which that weakness of international
law can be cured, and that is by the process of codification, a process
which must be extended through long periods, which has been going
on very gradually for many years. The Declaration of Paris was a lit-
tle bit of codification. The three rules of the Treaty of Washington
constituted a little bit of codification as between the United States and
Great Britain, and they have been, in substance, accepted and adopted
by the nations of Europe and at The Hague. The Geneva Convention
covered a certain field by codification, and The Hague conventions a
much wider field. So, I say, considered as a conclusion, there can be no
codification ; but, considered as a process, there must be codification-
codification pressed forward and urged on by all possible means.
The very fact that there are no courts to establish precedents,
and no legislatures to make laws, make this necessary. All interna-
tional law is made, not by any kind of legislation, but by agreement.
The agreement is based upon customs, but the ascertainment and
recognition of the customs is the subject of the agreement, and how
can there be agreement that is possible, unless the subject matter of
the agreement is definite and certain?
I say that recent events indicate that we must press forward
toward codification. I can go a step further than that. The changes
in the conditions of the earth, the changes in international relations
which have been so rapid in recent years, have outstripped the growth
of international law. I think it quite right to say that the law of na-
[274]
SHOULD INTERNATIONAL LAW BE CODIFIED?
tions does not come so near to covering the field of national conduct
to-day as it did fifty years ago. The development of international
relations in all their variety, in the multitude of questions that arise,
goes on more rapidly than the development of international law, and,
if you wait for customs, without any effort to translate the customs
into definite statements from year to year, you will never get any law
settled, except by bitter controversy. The pressing forward of codifi-
cation of international law is made necessary by the swift moving of
events among nations. We can not wait for custom to lag behind the
action to which the law should be applied.
Mr. Chairman, I want to express entire harmony with what Gov-
ernor Baldwin said a few moments ago upon the other branch of this
question, as to whether it should be by government or by private so-
cieties. It is not practicable that governments should do the thrashing
out of questions necessary to reach a definite statement of a conclu-
sion. That has to be done with freedom from constraint by the pri-
vate individual doing his work in a learned society or in private inter-
course. I think it is not generally understood that the first Confer-
ence at The Hague would have been a complete failure, if it had not
been for the accomplished work of the Institut des fitats Internationale.
The first Conference was called by the Czar of Russia for the
purpose of agreeing upon disarmament, and for the purpose of avert-
ing what the Czar saw coming in the future, and which has now come.
But there were powers in Europe which would not have it. They re-
fused to enter a conference for the purpose of considering that sub-
ject. Something had to be done. Here was a conference called by this
great power which was to meet, and something was to be done, and
they took the accomplished work of the Institut des fitats Internation-
ale, which it had thrashed out through the labors and discussions of
most learned international lawyers of Europe, including most of the
technical advisers of the foreign offices of Europe, meeting in their
private capacity, and that first conference at The Hague embodied
those conventions in the conventions of the first Hague conference.
It would have been impossible for The Hague conference to do that
work or one tithe of it if they had not had -the material already pro-
vided.
So I think it is quite clear that the process of codification, step by
step, subject by subject, point by point — the process of codification
must begin with the intellectual labor of private individuals, and it
must be completed by the acceptance of governments. All of the hun-
[275]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
dreds of thousands of pages that have been written upon international
law by private individuals go for nothing unless governments accept
them. A wilderness of text writers one has to wander through in en-
deavoring to get at what the law of nations is, and all that they wrote
is of no consequence except as it exercises a force in bringing about
action and agreement by the governments of the earth. So, Mr. Chair-
man, this process must have both private initiative and governmental
sanction.
Mr. Chairman, there is one other subject which I think we should
consider in dealing with the subject of codification, and that is this:
Are the small nations of the earth to continue ; is it to be any longer
possible for the little people to maintain their independence? That is
a serious question with many of us in this joint meeting of the Subsec-
tion 6 of the Society of the Pan-American Congress and the American
Society. The large nations can take care of themselves by the exercise
of power if they are willing to be armed to the teeth always, but the
small countries — what are they to do? There is no protection for
them but the protection of law. And there is no protection in law
unless the law be made clear and definite and certain, so that a great
bully can not escape it without running into the condemnation of that
law. So I say that every dictate of humanity should lead us to urge
forward that process by which in its better moments mankind may be
led to agree to the setting up of clear and definite and distinct rules of
right conduct for the control of the great nations in their dealings
with the small and weak.
The presence here of Doctor Matura, whom it is a great pleasure
for me to hail as a colleague in the faculty of political and administrative
science of the University of San Marcos, at Lima, and of the distin-
guished Ambassador from Brazil, my old friend from Rio de Janeiro,
leads me to say something which follows naturally from my reflec-
tions regarding the interests of the( smaller nations.
It is now nearly ten years ago when your people, gentlemen, and
the other peoples of South America were good enough to give serious
and respectful consideration to a message that it was my fortune to
take from this great and powerful Republic of North America to the
other American Nations. I wish to say to you, Gentlemen, and to all
my Latin American friends here in this Congress, that everything
that I said in behalf of the Government of the United States at Rio de
Janeiro in 1906 is true now as it was true then. There has been no
departure from the standard of feeling and of policy which was de-
[276!
SHOULD INTERNATIONAL LAW BE CODIFIED?
clared then in behalf of the American people. On the contrary, there
is throughout the people of this country a fuller realization of the
duty and the morality and the high policy of that standard. Of course,
in every country there are individuals who depart from the general
opinion and general conviction, both in their views and in their con-
duct, but the great, the overwhelming body of the American people
love liberty not in the restricted sense of desiring it for themselves
alone but in the broader sense of desiring it for all mankind.
The great body of the people of these United States love justice,
not merely as they demand it for themselves, but in being willing to
render it to others. We believe in the independence and the dignity of
nations, and, while we are great, we estimate our greatness as one of
the least of our possessions, and we hold the smallest State, be it upon
an island of the Caribbean or anywhere in Central or South America,
as our equal in dignity, in the right to respect, and in the right to the
treatment of an equal. We believe that nobility of spirit, that high,
ideals, that capacity for sacrifice, are nobler than material wealth.
We know that these can be found in the little State as well as in the
big one. In our respect for you who are small, and for you who are
great, there can be no element of condescension or patronage, for that
would do violence to our own conception of the dignity of independent
sovereignty. We desire no benefits which are not the benefits ren-
dered by honorable equals to each other. We seek no control that we
are unwilling to concede to others, and so long as the spirit of Amer-
ican freedom shall continue it will range us side by side with you,
great and small, in the maintenance of the rights of nations, the rights
which exist as against us and as against all the rest of the world.
With that spirit we hail your presence here to co-operate with
those of us who are interested in international law. We hail the for-
mation of the new American Institute of International Law and the
personal friendships that are being formed day by day between the
men of the north and the men of the south, all to the end that we may
unite in such clear and definite declaration of the principles of right
conduct among nations, and in such steadfast and honorable support
of those principles, as shall command the respect of mankind and in-
sure their enforcement.

Society
O ENTER upon the domain of the Mound Builder, won-
derful and enigmatical in his works, is like seeking to
grope one's way through the fabled labyrinths of
Egypt and Crete, for one is soon lost in a maze of
alluring speculation, from which the guiding hand of
knowledge is withheld. The Mound Builder is the
riddle of the American race, and the countless manifestations of his
handiwork defy explanation, while they ever excite our admiration and
amazement.
The earliest European explorers, in their travels through the un-
broken wilds of North America, found these earthen structures of a
prehistoric people intact and perfect, but solitary and lifeless, with no
living being to tell aught of their origin, age, or purpose. Who were
these people that came, wrought, and disappeared into the impenetrable
mists of the past?
"Let the mighty mounds
That overlook the rivers, or that rise
In the dim forest crowded with old oaks,
Answer. A race, that long has passed away,
Built them ; — a disciplined and populous race
Heaped, with long toil, the earth, while yet the Greek
Was hewing the Pentelicus to forms
Of symmetry, and rearing on its rock
The glittering Parthenon."
Just what relation, ethnological and archaeological, the builders of
the mounds bore to the Mississippi Valley and its branch basins will
probably never be fully known. So far as the vestiges, discovered by
the early European intruder, can testify, the portion of the United
States embraced within the central valley named and its tributaries,
[289]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
was the chief domain and centre of those peculiar people. Whether
this territory was the land of his origin, a great way-station in the pil-
grimage of his race through its earthly existence, or was the terminus
of prolonged peregrinations, has not been determined.
Concerning the inscrutable Mound Builder and his monuments,
the accumulated literature, by official authorities, voluntary scientists,
amateur investigators, poetic romancers, and irresponsible and illiter-
ate dreamers, is appalling in quantity, contradictory in statement and
theory, conflicting in conclusions, and often amusing and absurd.
Being without the Pale of definite knowledge, the Mound Builder and
his achievements afford untramelled scope for the imagination. He
literally left "foot-prints on the sands of time," but their trail leads
only to oblivion. He bequeathed to the succeeding ages no written rec-
ords, and his temples tell no tales as to their time or purpose. His only
answer to every conceivable guess concerning his origin, age, and des-
tiny, is his unbroken silence. The Mound Builder is the Race with the
Iron Mask.
But, whoever he was, the Mound Builder displayed his activities
in a spacious arena, and, if the whole North American Continent was
not his, a large part of it was, for his habitations extended from the
Allegheny River to the Rocky Mountain range, and in some instances
on to the Pacific Slope. He is almost unknown in New England. He
is found in lower Canada, but he evidently avoided the colder climates
and in the South he is much in evidence, for his works dot the shores
of the Mexican Gulf, from Texas to Florida, and are found in Ala-
bama, Louisiana, Mississippi, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
The Northwest Territory, however, produces evidences of his densest
population ; at least, there his achievements were the most numerous
and important. In Wisconsin, along its river courses and about the
shores of its lakes, he adorned the sides and summits of the hills with
innumerable effigies of animals, birds, reptiles, and even human beings,
—presumptively tributes to his superstitious belief, symbols of his crude
worship, or possibly emblematic totems of his various tribes. Michi-
gan did not greatly merit his attention, but his mounds are frequently
found in Indiana and are numerous in Illinois.
Ohio, however, was a region for which he displayed most remark-
able partiality. The banks of "La Belle Riviere," as the early French
called the majestic Ohio, and picturesque and fertile valleys of the
Miamis, the Scioto, the Muskingum, the Cuyahoga, and lesser tributary
streams, were the scenes of his most numerous, most extensive, and
[290]
THE MOUND BUILDERS OF OHIO
most continuous settlements. It has been asserted that the localities in
Ohio, which testify to the Mound Builders' presence, far out-number
the total localities of his evidential habitation in any other State, in-
deed almost equal those in all the rest of the country. Ohio was the
great "State" in prehistoric times, for over twelve thousand places in
the present State-limits have been found and noted, where the Mound
Builder left his testimonial.
It is not the purpose of this study to attempt any exhaustive or
minute account of detailed enumeration of the vestiges left by this peo-
ple. Rather, it is the intention to mention, with brief portrayal, the
masterpieces of the different classes of their exploits. We will classify
these works and note their features in the following order : ( i ) Walled
enclosures; (2) Single mounds; (3) Village sites and burial grounds;
and (4) Theories respecting the identity of the Mound Builders.
The so-called enclosures which cap the hill-tops are usually re-
garded as forts or military defenses. These are built of stone or earth
and, in rare instances, of both. The hill-top defenses are not relatively
numerous, but exhibit in their construction great engineering sagacity
and skill and almost inconceivable labor. The enclosures on the plains
or river bottoms are almost exclusively of earthen material and are
either walled towns or structures for refuge or safety. Possibly, some
were religious temples. They are of all dimensions and forms, many
of them presenting combinations of circles, squares, and geometrical
figures of great variety.
The largest stone edifice of the Mound Builders was erected on
Spruce Hill, in the southern part of Ross County, Ohio. This work oc-
cupies the level summit of a hill some four hundred feet in height. The
elevation is a long, triangular-shaped spur, terminating a range of
hills with which it is connected by a narrow neck or isthmus, which
affords the only accessible approach to the fort, for the hillsides at
all other points are remarkably steep and in places practically perpen-
dicular. Spruce Hill was admirably chosen for the purpose of defense
and observation, for its summit commands a panoramic view of the en-
circling valley through which runs Paint Creek. It was a mound
building neighborhood ; the site of Chillicothe, a great mound building
centre, was only eleven miles distant, to the northeast.
The magnitude of Spruce Hill Fort exceeds any similar construc-
tion attributed to the Mound Builders. It evinces tremendous labor
and unusual ingenuity of arrangement, and the wonder at this stupen-
dous work grows when it is remembered that it was erected without the

aid of beasts of burden or any mechanical assistance. It was literally
built by manual labor.
It was in a fair state of preservation less than a generation ago.
But to-day the walls are in a sad state of demolition, caused by the
thrifty farmers who make spoil of the displaced stones for the repara-
tion of their fences.
Less extensive, though more impressive, than the Spruce Hill
Fort is the. fortification in Brush Creek township, Highland County.
It is the best preserved of the stone defensive works of the Ohio Mound
Builders. Fort Hill rises abruptly about five hundred feet above the
river bottom. Only at two points can the summit be reached. Encirc-
ling the top of the hill, which presents a level area of some fifty acres,
is an embankment of earth and stones. The wall, which mainly follows
the brow of the hill, at some points reaches a height of fifteen feet, and
is over a mile and a half in length. The openings originally made in
the wall, thirty-three in number, are spaces ten to fifteen feet in width,
arranged without apparent order or regularity. The purpose of these
openings is inexplicable, as few of them could be used for ingress or
egress, most of them being at points where the approach to the fort is
an almost impossible ascent.
What would one not give for the story of this primitive fortress,
its patient and painstaking builders, their life within its precincts, their
feats of daring and suffering! Could they have been recorded and
preserved, might not the annals of these people have left us subjects
for epics as thrilling and dramatic as the Iliad and the Aeneid? But
their heritage to us is oblivion.
A fortification known as the Glenford Stone Fort is another most
interesting and important hill-top enclosure, because of its admirable
location and the fact that its remains are still sufficient for its form to
be easily traced and its construction understood.
The southwest portion of the State, especially the valleys of the
Great and Little Miamis, was a region thickly dotted with the habi-
tations and monuments of the Mound Builders. Within the present
limits of Hamilton County, between four and five hundred mounds
and some fifteen important enclosures were noted by the early trav-
elers and settlers. One of the most notable of these is located on Fort
Hill, at the mouth of the Great Miami. It has been generally desig-
nated as the Miami Fort. It was first brought into notice in the liter-
ature concerning the Mound Builders by William Henry Harrison,
who, though a Virginian by birth, became an Ohioan by adoption,
[293]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
marrying a daughter of John Cleves Symmes, and settling at North
Bend, where his remains are now buried. He intently studied the
Ohio Mound Builders and the Ohio Indians, and we are indebted to him
for much valuable investigation and information on those subjects. He
surmises the Mound Builders may have been the Aztecs, in which case
"the direct course of their journey to Mexico and the facilities which
that mode of retreat would afford seem to point out the descent of the
Ohio as the line of that retreat. It was here (Miami Fort) that a fee-
ble band was collected to make a last effort for the country of their
birth, the ashes of their ancestors, and the altars of their gods."
Several archaeological authorities, particularly General M. C.
Force, in his interesting essay on the Ohio Mound Builders, point out
that, from this elevation, a line of signals could be put in operation,
which in extent would cover the southwestern portion of the State.
This signal system of wireless telegraphy included, according to Gen-
eral Force, the numerous prehistoric works on the Great Miami, dotting
the banks of which they stretched in a line as far north as modern
Piqua, "all put in communication with each other by signal mounds
erected at conspicuous points."
Fort Ancient, on the Little Miami, stands as a citadel in the rear
of the centre of this line. It is easily foremost among the prehistoric
fortifications for ingenuity of design and perfection in construction.
The site selected for this fortress, temple, or walled city, whichever
it may have been, was most advantageously chosen, on a slightly roll-
ing plateau, overlooking the panoramic valley of the Little Miami
River, in central Warren County. The contour of the hill plateau is
like that of a dumb-bell, two almost evenly sized fields united by a
long, narrow neck, on each side of which the declivity is too steep for
ascent. This narrow connection divides the defences into what are
known as the north or New Fort, the Middle Fort, and the South or
Old Fort. The terms "new" and "old" were suggested by the idea that
the South Fort on the apex of the peninsula was naturally the first one
to be constructed, as it, utilized alone, would be more secure and inac-
cessible than the new one which was later taken in to protect the entire
hill-top. The entrance to the Old Fort is called the Great Gateway.
Just within the entrance, on the west side, is a conical mound, ten feet
high with a base diameter of forty feet, near which were found heaps
of stones, used both as coverings for graves and to strengthen the wall.
Human bones in great quantities were found here, a few inches below
the surface soil. Near the centre of the Old Fort was located the larg-
[294]
THE MOUND BUILDERS OF OHIO
est burying-ground of this fort people. Within a radius of a hundred
feet, some three hundred graves were found.
That the great enclosure was, to a certain extent, at least, a walled
city, is attested by the remains of a "village" therein. The evidences
were the circles of burned earth, ash heaps, pottery, and animal frag-
ments, bones of the bear, deer, etc., charcoal, burnt stones, etc. No
metal implements of any kind were found, except a few pieces of beaten
copper. Thousands of primitive implements of war, the chase, and do-
mestic life were found in the fort precincts.
Like all other works of this early people, Fort Ancient was un-
mistakably the product of builders who wrought only with the tools of
a stone age. There were no steam shovels, no derrick scoops to lift the
earth and dump it into position. Not even horses, mules, or oxen fa-
cilitated the labor. It should be said, however, that there is one theory
in favor of animal aid. Doctor Frederick Larkin, in his "Ancient Man
in America," introduces the suggestion that the mastodon, the bones
of which are found in Ohio and elsewhere, contemporaneously with
those of the Mound Builder, was "a favorite animal and used as a
beast of burden by them." He adds: "We can imagine that tremen-
dous teams have been driven to and fro in the vicinity of their great
works, tearing up trees by the roots or marching with their armies into
the fields of battle amidst showers of poisoned arrows."
The lowland enclosures of the Mound Builders abound in the val-
leys of the Muskingum, Scioto, and Little Miami, though a few are
found in other parts of the State. The earth-wall structures have an
endless variety of forms, and appear to have been used for different
purposes which are now past determination. The most common fig-
ures are the square and the circle, portions of each of which are em-
ployed in endless combinations. The walls themselves contain no bury-
ing-grounds or articles of any kind whatever, and therefore give no
hint of the mystery locked in the grass-grown, weather-defying earthen
ramparts.
The most intricate of these nondescript works are located in the
Licking Valley, near the city of Newark. In Licking County there are,
or were, probably five hundred earth works of various descriptions.
Those which comprise the most famous groups occupy a plain between
Raccoon Creek and the south fork of Licking Creek. The earth-walls,
shaped into a score or more of different designs, extend over an area of
four square miles. No word description is adequate to convey to the
mind of the reader a just idea of the magnitude and puzzling character
[295]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
of these works. The growth of the city of Newark has encroached
upon the original works, portions of which were thus obliterated; but
the group, as remaining to-day, surpasses all others in this country in
size and intricacy of construction.
That the country round about the present site of Newark was a
populous one with the Mound Builder is partially accounted for by the
location of the great flint quarries in the southeast corner of the pres-
ent Licking County. The Mound Builder, belonging to the Stone Age,
knew nothing of metals and much less of the art of reducing ores to
useful implements. His crude utensils were solely of stone, bone, and
wood — save in rare instances he made use of beaten copper. Flint was
his most valued and most employed raw material, because of its com-
pact, homogenous, durable texture. This rare geologic composition,
that Shakespeare calls "the everlasting flint," existed in vast quantities
in a vein that caps the hill-tops in a range between the present sites of
Newark and Zanesville, this vein giving to this locality the name of
"Flint Ridge." This Flint Ridge is literally honey-combed in every
quarter with hundreds of pits and cavities of all dimensions, from that
of a scoop-out a few feet across to those a hundred feet in diameter
and sunk the full depth of the vein. Chips of all sizes are still found
in myriad numbers over the area of the Ridge, proving the immensity
of the work done in these quarries, which were the exhaustless mines
for both the Mound Builder and his successor, the Indian.
The Muskingum Valley is rich in prehistoric remains. When the
Ohio settlers came to the place they named Marietta, they found, not
the ruins, but the undisturbed remains of a town, founded and left by
a prehistoric people, of whom the Indian delegation which greeted the
Ohio Company of Associates upon their arrival could give no knowl-
edge or surmise.
Dropping down the Ohio to Portsmouth, the mouth of the Scioto
brings us to one of the most remarkable series of works in the State.
A curious arrangement of circles, semi-circles, and horse-shoe figures
is located east of the present city upon the terrace above the river.
From this puzzling group, parallel walls extend two miles due west to
no apparent destination, while a second pair of walls stretch southwest
to the city limits. Still a third set of parallel embankments, starting
from the same central group, extend three miles southeast to the Ohio
River bed. Immediately opposite the terminus of the Ohio graded way,
the parallels are resumed on the Kentucky side, near the mouth of
Tygart River, and continue a mile and a half to and into the centre of a
[296]
THE MOUND BUILDERS OF OHIO
series of four concentric earthen circles, the outside one of which is
probably over a mile in circumference. This river-divided scheme de-
fies explanation. Squier and Davis, after describing the works, con-
clude: "And it is easy, while standing on its summit (Kentucky conical
mound) to people it with the strange priesthood of ancient supersti-
tion, and to fill its avenues and line its walls with the thronging de-
votees of a mysterious worship. Whatever may have been the divinity
of their belief, order, symmetry, and design were among his attributes;
if, as appears most likely, the works that most strongly exhibit these
features were dedicated to religious purposes, and were symbolical in
their design." Indeed, it would seem that no other motive than relig-
ious zeal would impel a people to the creation of works so enigmatical
and so vast.
As alre'ady noted, the southwestern portion of the State, the val-
leys of the Scioto and the Miamis and the intervening territory, was the
chief land of the Mound Builder, the region where "his name was le-
gion." One of the probable theories concerning the migratory course
of this mysterious people, is that they came from the far South, up the
Mississippi ; thence ascended the Ohio, and, because of the equable cli-
mate, fertility of soil, suitable contour of land, and advantages of the
water courses, chose for their settlements the hill-tops and valley bot-
toms skirting the Ohio streams.
If the fifteen hundred "enclosures," existing, or known to have
existed until recently, in Ohio, present an inexhaustible study in their
extent and variety, then the isolated mounds, the estimated total num-
ber of which in the State exceeds, or did but a few years ago, the appall-
ing number of ten thousand, must surpass our comprehension. The
mounds are comparatively scarce in the northwestern and southeastern
part of the State ; in the northeast they are often found ; but in the cen-
tre and southwest they prevail in almost countless numbers. In size
they vary from a knoll three feet in height and less than twenty feet
in base diameter to the largest one, that at Miamisburg, sixty-eight feet
in perpendicular altitude, eight hundred and fifty feet in base circum-
ference, and containing over a million cubic feet of earth. The most
of these mounds are conical shaped, with a "flat dome or segment of a
sphere." They are simply piles of earth, — except where, rarely, stones
are used, — heaped together without the slightest evidence of any me-
chanical assistance.
The erection of the mounds, so far as known, was for two pur-
poses:, first, as watch-towers, this usually when they were built on the
[297]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
hill-tops; and, second, those on the lowlands, as tombs or sepulchres,
the receptacles of the dead. The burial mound was the first, and the
universal architectural expression of primitive man, and the earliest
glimpse we get of any people is the earthen mound containing the re-
mains of the tribal hero or chief, or departed kin. These burial
mounds, of crudest form, everywhere more or less similar in shape and
material, are found in the uttermost parts of the earth: in Russia,
China, Japan, India, Egypt, Greece, — wherever man has found habita-
tion. Homer recounts in the Odyssey how, over the ashes of Patro-
clus and Antilochus, "a great and symmetrical tumulus" was raised
that "it might be seen from afar by the living and by future genera-
tions of men." Likewise, "a mound, with all speed, was erected over
the grave" of Hector.
It should be understood that we are examining only tumuli belong-
ing to prehistoric man, and not the mounds attributed to later Indians.
The Indians — the historic Indians — did occasionally engage in mound
building, but so seldom that, for the purposes of our study, we do not
take their works into consideration.
The researches in the ancient mounds establish the fact that more
than nine-tenths of them contain human remains, thereby demonstrat-
ing that their prime purpose was sepulchral. The interiors of the
mounds disclose altars — low tables or basins — differing in form, size,
and material, the latter being clay, sand, stone, or ashes. Again, the
remains revealed modes of incineration either before or at the time of
burial. More often than otherwise ornaments, war implements, domes-
tic utensils, were buried with the dead. It is from these that we learn
much of the nature and life of the Mound Builders.
The Mound Builder seems to have been universally a smoker, for
his pipes, stone and clay, were everywhere in evidence, and the art of
their manufacture must have been a favorite one.
On the Scioto River, six miles north of Chillicothe, was before its
destruction, the Gartner Mound. This mound, standing on the site of
a prehistoric village with an area of four acres, was a triple structure,
comprising three separate mounds, the intervening spaces having been
subsequently filled in so as to complete the triple composite elevation,
which was eight feet high and seventy-five in diameter. All three sec-
tions were replete with skeleton burials, or the charred remains of cre-
mated bodies. The village site surrounding this mound is known to
have been a residence centre, from the evidential remains, such as te-
pee pole holes, ash and storage pits, bake cavities or ovens, and the
[298]
THE MOUND BUILDERS OF OHIO
countless articles buried beneath the surface or scattered promiscuously
above the ground. Vast quantities of animal — no less than seventeen
varieties — and bird bones were strewn about. There were fine speci-
mens of stone hammers, shell, flint, and bone scrapers, whetstones to
sharpen objects made of bone and shell, pipes, pendants, beads, pestles
and mortars, bone fish-hooks and net sinkers, the latter pebbles notched
or grooved so that the fibre or skin string might be fastened about
them. The Mound Builder was an expert in the piscatorial art.
The storage pits of this village exhibited the food productions
and "bill of fare" of the primitive man. More than one hundred of
these large holes sunk in the ground were uncovered. In these pits,
sometimes several feet in depth and diameter, often with a flooring of
straw or bark that also lined the walls, were found beans, shelled corn
in woven bags, or ears of corn laid in regular order upon the bottom,
seeds of the pawpaw, hickory nuts, walnuts, chestnuts, seeds of the
wild red plum, etc. But more interesting still were the two "clam
ovens," or mussel "bakes," made by digging an opening in the ground
five feet deep and four in diameter. Each oven had been burned until
the clay on the bottom and sides was red to the depth of several inches.
The baking process was simple. A fire was started in the oven, quan-
tities of small boulders were thrown upon the fire, and upon these
heated stones mussels of small size were heaped till the pit was filled,
when the top was, no doubt, covered over with grass, and the mussels
left to bake. After the feast, the shells were thrown into the empty
pits. Thousands and thousands of these shells lay near the two ovens.
Another of the chief village sites that proved a mine of informa-
tion for the explorer is that of Baum Village, on Paint Creek, a few
miles from its entrance into the Scioto, and within sight of the Spruce
Hill fortification. The village extends over more than ten acres of
ground, in the centre of which is a large square mound. Immediately
adjoining the village are extensive wall enclosures in circular and
square form, embracing some seventy acres. In Baum Village the evi-
dence is that the domiciles in which the prehistoric man lived were
permanent and not temporary abodes, evidencing that the Mound
Builder was stationary rather than migratory in his habits. This con-
clusion is further sustained by the magnitude and permanency of his
fortifications and enclosures. The largest tepee in the village was
twenty-two feet long and twelve feet wide. In its centre was the great
fireplace, four feet in diameter and six inches deep, the hearth being
bowl-shaped, and the packed earth forming it burned to a brick red to
[299]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
the depth of eight inches. The accumulated debris about this hearth
was filled with implements and ornaments, polished stones, broken pot-
tery, hammer stones, a large mortar, and bones of animals.
The village was a cluster of tepees, all smaller than the one de-
scribed. Adjacent to each one was, usually, a subterranean storehouse
and a burial place. These three, the tepee, the store-cellar, and the
grave, completed the home requirements of the Mound Builder.
Here were found in great numbers the bones of the prehistoric
dog, the only domestic animal attributed to these ancient people. Pro-
fessor Putnam, of Harvard University, who has collected bones of the
prehistoric canine in all parts of the world, and found the same type
everywhere, says "this variety of dog is apparently identical with the
pure blood Scotch Collie of to-day," and he f uther comments, "if this is
the case, the prehistoric dog in America, Europe, and Egypt, and its
persistence to the present time as a thoroughbred, is suggestive of a
distinct species of the genus can is, which was domesticated several
thousand years ago, and also that the prehistoric dog in America was
brought to this continent by very early emigrants from the old world."
The Harness Mound was one of the largest of a group, eight miles
south of Chillicothe. Judging from the material and craftsmanship
here discovered in great profusion, one may readily infer that the Har-
ness Mound Builders were people capable of artistic taste and delicate
workmanship. The copper plates, one nine inches in length by five in
breadth, were the finest found in the Ohio mounds. Beautiful copper
axes, one being half a foot in length, and proportionately broad, were
removed from the sepulchre graves. Copper earrings were plentiful,
their construction evidencing rare skill and ingenuity. They consisted
of two similar copper disks, varying in size from a silver quarter to a
dollar, made bulging or concavo-convex, the two disks being connected
in the centre by a uniting bar. These earrings, produced with many
diverse details as to size, shape, form of rim, etc., were attached to the
ear by thrusting the connecting bar through the perforated ear-lobe.
There must not be omitted mention of the Madisonville cemetery
and village site, located in the eastern section of Hamilton County,
about thirty miles southwest from Fort Ancient. The village site is on
a level plateau. The cemetery is On a spur reaching out and down from
the plateau, which is bounded on two sides by deep and precipitous ra-
vines. This cemetery is the great "city of the dead" of the prehistoric
people. It covers an area of fifteen acres, all over-grown with stately
trees, the roots of many of which held in their firm grasp the crumbling
[300]
THE MOUND BUILDERS OF OHIO
bones of the ancient dead. The explorations of these catacombs have
been conducted at intervals over a period of forty years, and nearly
four thousand skeletons, entire or in portions, have been removed,
though a large section of the cemetery is still undisturbed.
These prehistoric people were speechless save in their monuments
and the mementoes they contain. True, it has been claimed that in-
scribed tablets have been found in these mounds, evidencing that the
Mound Builder had a written language. Several alleged records have
been unearthed in the Ohio mounds, but in every instance these so-
called hieroglyphics have been proven to be modern intrusions, or de-
ceptions, or unintelligible scrawls. The "Cincinnati Tablet," removed
from a mound once standing in the precincts of that city, was undoubt-
edly genuine as to its place of exhumation and its antiquity, but no one
has ever been able to determine that the inscriptions carved thereon
are other than mere fanciful and meaningless lines.
But, if the Mound Builder was unlettered, he was a religious be-
ing. He had his faith, his sanctuaries, and undoubtedly his ceremonial
worship. The Serpent Mound, the greatest effigy structure of the
Mound Builders in America, is a huge earthen bas-relief, representing
a serpent resting his curving folds upon the summit of a bluff that rises
a hundred feet above Brush Creek in Adams County. This bluff pro-
jects abruptly into the valley, which, with its flanking hills, forms an
open arena or amphitheatre some two miles in diameter. Upon the
crest of this high ridge lies in graceful and gigantic undulations the
Great Serpent, so located that it may be seen in its majestic length and
snake-splendor from far and near in the plains below. The serpent,
beginning with its tip end, starts in a triple coil of the tail on the most
marked elevation of the ridge and extends along down the lowering
crest in beautiful folds, curving gracefully to right and left in easy and
natural convolutions, with head and neck stretched out serpent-like and
pointed to the west. The head is apparently turned upon its right side,
with the great mouth wide open, the extremities of the jaws united by
a concave bank, immediately in front of which is a large oval or egg-
shaped hollow, eighty-six feet long and thirty feet wide at is greatest
inside transverse. The head of the serpent across the point of union of
the jaws is thirty feet wide, the jaws and connecting crescent five feet
high. The entire length of the serpent, following the convolutions, is
thirteen hundred and thirty-five feet. Its width, at the largest portion
of the body, is twenty feet. At the tail the width is no more than three
feet. Here the height is from three to four feet, which increases to-
[301]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
ward the centre of the body to a height of five or six feet. Such is
the size of the enormous earthen reptile, as it has lain, basking in the
suns or shivering in the snows of many centuries. The effect the sight
of it produces, from close inspection or from distant view, can scarcely
be imagined or described.
Professor Putnam, to whom is due the credit of the restoration
and preservation of the mound, says, in his account of his first visit:
"The graceful curves throughout the whole length of this singular
effigy give it a strange, life-like appearance; as if a huge serpent,
slowly uncoiling itself and creeping silently and stealthily along the
crest of the hill, was about to seize the oval within its extended jaws.
Late in the afternoon, when the lights and shades are brought out in
strong relief, the effect is indeed strange and weird ; and this effect is
heightened still more when the full moon lights up the scene and the
stillness is broken by the 'whoo-whoo, hoo-hoo' of the unseen bird of
night."
Examination into various sections of the serpent demonstrated
that nothing was buried therein. The mound was ingeniously con-
structed in layers of different natural material, there being stone at the
base, covered with yellow clay, over which came a stratum of dark soil,
and then the final topping of sod.
It is the teaching of ethnology that primitive man, at one time wor-
shipped inanimate nature, rocks, sun, and stars, and also the trees;
then, advancing a stage, worshipped nature in animal forms. Of these,
the serpent was foremost, the "mysterious stranger in the grass, who
overcame with honey words" the Mother of the human race.
While the explorer found in the Serpent Mound no secret of its
age or purpose, much was revealed as to the Mound Builders in the
small mounds and isolated sub-surface burials on the hill summit, not
far from the serpentine structure. Here Professor Putnam found
inhumations, the most ancient of any discovered in Ohio, as proven by
their relative placements in the strata of the various clays and subse-
quent coverings by other soils and vegetation deposits and layers, the
formation of which must have been due to nature, the slow work of
which required centuries of time to thus cast its coverings over the arti-
ficial work of ancient man.
From archaeological, chemical, geological, and botanical testi-
mony, scholars conclude these earthen works are at least hundreds of
years old, and perhaps thousands. They were unquestionably com-
pleted and abandoned before the Columbian discoveries of America.
[302]
THE MOUND BUILDERS OF OHIO
No European articles are found in any of the mounds; except where,
in some instances, there have been injections into the mounds of his-
toric burials, sometimes Indian interments, with accompanying modern
ornaments or implements.
And still the query arises : Who were the Mound Builders? And
still the query is unsolved and insolvable. Until a generation ago, the
general opinion of archaeologists was that the Mound Builders were a
distinct and separate race from the American Indian, and that the
skillful and ingenious architects of these earthen structures fled the
field before the Indian appeared, or possibly were driven out by the
invading and conquering Redmen.
The later, more thorough, and more scientific study of the mounds
and their contents has led the archaeologists to revise their former the-
ory, and they now mainly agree that the Mound Builder was the ances-
tor or progenitor of the American Indian, the remoteness of the rela-
tionship, however, being undetermined. The Indian progenitor theory
is supported by the similarity of the artifacts found in the prehistoric
mounds to the implements made by the historic Indian. But the reply
to this undoubted resemblance is that the first products of primitive
man's handiwork are the same the world over. The peace and war
stone implements exhumed by Schliemann from the ruins of Troy can-
not be distinguished, when placed side by side, from those found in the
mounds of Ohio.
Not a few writers, in favor of the Indian theory, point to the claim
that certain Indian tribes were known to erect mounds, and the Chero-
kees, Mandans, and Natchez are especially cited. The chroniclers who
accompanied de Soto in his journey (1540) from Florida to the Missis-
sippi noted that the Cherokees built mounds, upon the summits of which
they located their dwellings. The Mandans of the West are said to
have lived in circular earth lodges, partly under ground. Likewise, the
Natchez, in the territory of the Lower Mississippi, "raised mounds of
earth upon which to erect their dwellings and temples." Many schol-
ars who have studied the innumerable effigy mounds of Wisconsin at-
tribute those monuments, though their age is unknown, to the Winne-
bago tribe of Indians.
But, whatever may be the inferences of relationship between the
Mound Builders and the Indians elsewhere, the Ohio mounds suggest
meagre, if any, cultural similarity to the Ohio Indians or to the tribes
of any other sections ; nor had the Ohio tribes any tradition, much less
knowledge, of the builders of the mounds, that could throw any light
upon the obscurity of the subject.
[303]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
If the Indian theory be correct, it must be admitted that the North
American historic Indian, who was discovered by the invading Euro-
pean, must have been a degenerate and unworthy descendant of his
distant forbear, the Mound Builder. "A broad chasm is to be spanned
before we can link the Mound Builders to the North American In-
dians," says a leading scholar of the American races, for the North
Indian, in his best historic periods, never displayed an architectural
talent, an artistic ingenuity, or a trait of industry, at all comparable to
those characteristics so unquestionably the possession of the Mound
Builder.
Volumes have been written upon the origin and racial identity of
the Mound Builders. Arguments have been put forth that they were
the Lost Tribes of Israel ; that they came in the twilight of ancient his-
tory from Japan, China, and other Oriental race centres; that they
were the lineal predecessors of the Toltecs ; that they later emigrated
from North to South America and displayed there in wonderful tem-
ples the constructive powers they inherited from their mound building
ancestors ; reversely, that the Mound Builders were the descendants of
the Toltecs, and from Mexico ascended the Mississippi Valley and dot-
ted that great basin and its tributary, the Ohio Valley, with their count-
less monuments of earth ; again, that they were the kin of the Aztecs,
perhaps a branch of that warlike and art-loving people ; again, that the
prehistoric Americans were the descendants of the South American
Indians ; and so on, until speculation and conjecture have been ex-
hausted. But all in vain ! The Mound Builder's identity, the time of
his entry and his exit, the duration of his stay, — all belong to the realm
of the unknown.
[304]
HARMAN BLENNEKHASSETT
A romantic figure in the chronicles of Ohio, whose life of
.scholarship, cultured wealth, and domestic serenity, drawn
into the dark whirlpool of Aaron Burr's political scheming,
ended in poverty in 1831. An Irishman of good lineage,
though born in England, he and his wife canrre to Ohio in
1798. He supplied Burr with funds and joined in his activi-
ties. Indicted for treason against the United States, he was
released in 1807, on Burr's acquittal of the same charge.
AARON BURR
Much of his activity, believed to be for the treasonable pur-
pose of separating a part of the country from the Union, took
place in Ohio, where, during 1806 and 1807, he was in Mari-
etta. Chillicothe. and Cincinnati. According to general belief,
his plot was aided by funds and support from Harman Blen-
nerhassett of Ohio.
THEODOSIA BURR ALSTON
The beautiful and brilliant daughter of Aaron Burr, perhaps
the only person on whom he ever bestowed a devoted and pure
affection, which she returned with an ardor of filial love
rarely surpassed, she became the wife of Joseph Alston, after-
ward the Governor of South Carolina. Her death is folded in
tragic mystery. Lost at sea, in 1813, it has been believed that
she was forced by pirates, who had captured the ship, to
walk off a plank into the ocean.

WAS born so near Plymouth Rock that in making my
initial appearance in this increasingly wonderful
world my tiny toes, figuratively speaking, grazed
the smoothly worn side of the now world-famous land-
ing-place of the Pilgrim Fathers.
__ __ In the Old Bay State, and in historic Plymouth
County, I passed my superlatively happy earlier boyhood, of which I
still cherish the fondest recollections; of the exquisite pleasure, espe-
cially, of hanging May baskets and June boxes in their respective
months.
My later boyhood, however, was spent in New Haven County,
Connecticut; and from that County, in 1862, 1 entered the Union Army
as one of Lincoln's Boys in Blue, in which, with the exception of about
five months, I served until July, 1865, when, by reason of the close of
the four years' struggle for the preservation of national unity, I was
mustered out of Uncle Sam's service and resumed my residence amid
the scenes of my later boyhood.
It was in the "Nutmeg State," and in grand old Litchfield County,
that I began my work as a Christian minister, though I have since oc-
cupied fields of labor in Massachusetts, my native State, New York,
and New Jersey ; in which latter State I have continuously resided for
more than a quarter of a century.
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
In 1894 I delivered an historical discourse commemorative of the
sixtieth anniversary of the dedication of the church edifice in which
there worshipped the religious organization of which I was the regu-
larly installed pastor. This discourse was subsequently published in
pamphlet form by the officials of my church, and has found its way
into public and private libraries.
In the preparation of this historical discourse I made careful and
thorough research of town and county annals, which I found to be of
truly absorbing interest, especially those portions of county history
treating of the Colonial and Revolutionary periods. My attention,
however, was more especially drawn to the annals of Morristown, the
County-seat of Morris County; and, being strongly impressed with
the idea that no suitable nor adequate history of Morristown had been
written, I resolved that at some future time I would undertake that
work. I therefore began to gather materials for my contemplated his-
tory ; and, at the end of about fourteen years I put the materials accum-
ulated into shape for a book, which in 1905 was published under the
title of "Historic Morristown, New Jersey: The Story of its First
Century."
In connection with the gathering of materials and photographs for
that portion of Morristown's rare history including the Revolution, I
again and again visited the sites of the various camping-grounds of the
American army encamped in Morris County, New Jersey, in the win-
ters of 1776-77 and 1779-80; and among the camping-ground sites vis-
ited was that of the two brigades of Connecticut troops encamped there
during the last winter mentioned.
I have a most distinct recollection of the first time I visited the
site of the camping-grounds of the Connecticut brigades. It was on a
day following a copious spring rain, and the leaf-strewn ground was so
thoroughly wet that, after a two hours' tramp, I returned home with
water-soaked shoes and socks ; but, if it had been necessary for me to
stand in a running stream, I would not have missed the opportunity of
seeing and experiencing what I saw and experienced on that interesting
spring morning.
The gentleman who guided me to and over the site of the camping-
grounds of the Connecticut brigades on the occasion mentioned was
Emory McClintock, LL. D., an eminent mathematician, who for sev-
eral years was an honored and efficient official of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, of New York. Mr. McClintock, at the time of our
memorable visit to these camping-grounds, was a resident of Morris-
[322]
THE REVOLUTIONARY CAMPING GROUNDS
town, and he had devoted no inconsiderable amount of time to research
along not only local but general historical lines, the fruitful results of
which were embodied in addresses, pamphlets, etc., which will mate-
rially aid future historians.
Thus much I have deemed it proper to say in explanation of the
fact that a native and lover still of New England is now a resident of
New Jersey and has made a special and exhaustive study of the rare
history of Morris County, New Jersey, and more especially of Morris-
town, its beautiful County-seat, and the residence, by the way, of mil-
lionaires and multi-millionaires by the scores.
Than Morristown and vicinity, I am impelled, as an ardent lover
of our marvellous national history, to say in passing, there is no more
interesting section, historically, in the United States ; not that any bat-
tles were fought there, or in the immediate vicinity, but that in this sec-
tion of the State Washington and his patriot army were twice en-
camped during the Revolution. In the winter of 1776-77 the American
army was encamped at Lowantica Valley, about two and a half miles
to the southeastward of Morristown village ; and in the winter of 1779-
80 it was encamped on the Kemble and Wick farms, from two and a
half to four miles to the southwestward of Morristown village. Knox's
brigade of heavy artillery, however, was encamped on the hills, about a
mile to the westward of Morristown village, on the road to Mendham.
During the encampment of Washington's army in Morristown
and vicinity very much transpired in connection with these sojourns
which is of great interest to all true Americans.
I have said that no battles were fought in Morristown or in its
immediate vicinity during the Revolution, but, in justice to Washing-
ton's army which wintered there, this statement should be modified by
adding — no battles save those fought with cold and hunger and ex-
treme privation; for the second winter of the patriot army in this sec-
tion of the State was the severest ever experienced by the inhabitants
of Morris County. Indeed, the story of the sufferings of the Amer-
ican army during that awful winter is sufficient to stir to white heat
the slumbering emotions of every lover of his country and of its dearly
purchased independence !
If we go to the southwestward from the Morristown Green, or
Park, as some prefer to call it, down what, since Colonial days, has
been known as the Jockey Hollow Road, about four miles, and at its
terminus turn to the left and go about a mile to the southward, and then
turn again to the left, or east, and go a short distance into a piece of

THE REVOLUTIONARY CAMPING GROUNDS
woods, we shall find ourselves on the site of the camping-grounds of
the two Connecticut brigades encamped in Morris County, New Jersey,
in the winter of 1779-80.
The first brigade of Connecticut troops lay nearest to and parallel
with the road still known as the Fort Hill road ; while the second bri-
gade lay further away from the same road.
The camp of the first brigade ran northeasterly and southwesterly
and the camp of the second brigade ran about north and south. The
location chosen for the Connecticut camps was almost an ideal one
in essential respects.
From Mr. McClintock the following is quoted: "Each camp" — of
the entire army — "was like all the others, except for variations com-
pelled by inequalities of ground. The brigade parade was, if possible,
in front of the jhes of huts. The huts of the officers, each accom-
modating three or four, were in a line by themselves. Before reaching
the grounds selected by General Greene for the camps, the whole army
had received from Washington this emphatic warning: 'Any hut not
exactly conformable to the plan, or the least out of line, shall be pulled
down and built again.' The result is shown in the description given on
December 22, 1779, by the writer from Baskingridge already quoted:
'The encampments are exceedingly neat ; the huts are all of a size and
placed in more exact order than Philadelphia. You would be sur-
prised to see how well they are built without nails.' The 'plan' pre-
scribed for the huts does not seem to have been preserved. They seem
to have been at least sixteen feet long, with a chimney at one end and
bunks for ten or twelve men at the other. * * * The fire-places
were of stone, surmounted by chimneys of plastered wood. That
windows were not always provided is shown by an order in the spring
commanding that an opening for ventilation should be made in each
hut not already supplied with a window or other such opening."
The first brigade of Connecticut troops was composed of the first
regiment, Colonel Starr, commanding; the third regiment, Colonel
Wyllys; the fifth regiment, Colonel Bradley; and the seventh regiment,
Colonel Swift.
The second brigade of Connecticut troops was composed of the
second regiment, Colonel Butler ; the fourth regiment, Colonel Durkee ;
the sixth regiment, Colonel Meigs (commanded in the winter of 1779-
80 by Colonel Gray), and the eighth regiment, Colonel Sherman. An-
other regiment, commanded by Colonel Samuel B. Webb, was subse-
quently added to the brigade.
[325]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
The two brigades of Connecticut troops formed a division and
was in command of Major General Samuel S. Parsons, who was made
a General early in the war.
One Thomas Jones, a Loyalist, and a contemporary of General
Parsons, is recorded to have said of the Connecticut General : "He
was esteemed by the rebels as a bold, resolute, enterprising soldier, and
by British prisoners as a man of the most humane and benevolent dis-
position, by whom they were always treated with politeness, civility,
and humanity. * * * I saw him in Hartford, in 1780; he had long
hair, which hung about his ears, a brown homespun coat, buck-skin
breeches, a red laced waistcoat, blue yarn stockings, a pair of shoes I
fancy were made by himself, and an amazing long, silver-hilted sword."
On the site of the camping-grounds of the Connecticut division, as
they now appear, may be seen numerous heaps of stones weighing from
fifteen to fifty pounds each, which once formed the lower part of the
rude chimneys and the huge fire-places of the equally rude log huts,
which provided but a meagre shelter for the Connecticut soldiers of
Washington's army in the severe winter of 1779-80.
These piles of hut chimney-stones seem, for the most part, to have
lain undisturbed since they fell away from the decaying log huts of
which they were once an important part.
The heaps of hut chimney-stones mark with almost startling def-
initeness the camp streets of the Revolutionary days, streets once alive
with the presence of the brave men who helped to achieve the inde-
pendence of the American Colonies.
Several times during the already-mentioned morning tramp under
the guidance of Mr. McClintock over these camping-ground sites of
the Connecticut division, did the alert and well-informed guide turn to
the no less alert writer and exclaim, with evident enthusiasm : "Here
was a camp street; here was another;" and the distinct alignment of
the hut chimney-stones to be seen undisturbed, for the most part, since
they fell, was a sufficient corroboration of the opinion expressed.
But to the writer the most interesting objects to be seen on the
camping-ground sites of the Connecticut troops are the ruins of two
stone ovens, in which bread was baked for the soldiers during the awful
winter they were encamped on the eastern slope of Fort Hill. The re-
mains of one of these bake ovens still preserves its former circular
shape, indicating that it fell inward from its own weight and has lain,
undisturbed, seemingly, for one hundred and thirty-six years.
Not a few of the stones comprising one of the ovens on the Connec-
[326]
SaNQOHO ONIJKV3 AHVNOIXmOAHH 3HX
ticut camping-grounds, as guide and writer were agreed, still exhibit
the effects of fire as do those of other oven ruins elsewhere found on
the camping-ground sites of other brigades of the patriot army, not-
ably that of one of the Maryland brigades, about a mile distant.
The writer has a picture of the ruins of the bake oven above men-
tioned, and when I tell the reader that, in order to get a photograph of
these ruins, I was obliged to trample and break down great quantities
of underbrush, remove several large pieces of decayed wood, and bend
and hold down by main force one or two vigorous saplings, in order
that the photographer I had taken with me could get a photograph,
and especially when I add that, in clearing the way for the unobstructed
sweep of the camera, I scratched and tore my hands until they bled,
perhaps the picture will be the better appreciated by those who may see
it. When, however, I learned from the photographer a few days later
that "we have a good photo," I was completely resigned to the lacera-
tions inflicted upon my "paws."
The road one now takes from the terminus of the Jockey Hollow
Road to reach the site of the Connecticut camping-grounds of Revo-
lutionary days is not the same as that of those former days. I consider
myself fortunate in having an excellent eight by ten photograph, taken
under my personal supervision, showing distinct and thought-provok-
ing traces of the military road of Revolutionary days, over which, dur-
ing the winter of 1779-80, the soldiers of the Connecticut brigades trav-
eled, in going to and from their camps. To the student of Revolution-
ary history, the traces even of this old road are of rare interest.
The Fort Hill mentioned in this article, it should be said, was a hill,
or promontory, on the left-hand side of the Jockey Hollow Road as one
goes from Morristown, and lay to the westward of the camping-ground
of the Connecticut brigades. This hill was so named from the fact
that on this promontory General Anthony Wayne, while encamped in
the vicinity with his Pennsylvania troops, threw up a double line of
fortifications, one of stone, and another of logs and brush, for protec-
tion against possible British attack; and from this hill the entire sur-
rounding country and every approach to the American camps were
commanded by the guns mounted on these hastily-constructed fortifi-
cations. Traces of these Revolutionary fortifications may still be seen
by the careful observer.
It was the rare privilege of the writer to visit the site of the forti-
fications on Fort Hill in company with the then Sheriff of Morris
County, Mr. Abram Ryerson, who, in the Civil War, was an officer in
[327]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
a regiment of artillery, and hence acquainted with the construction of
fortifications; and it was really illuminating to me to listen to his con-
versation as he pointed out, here and there, the distinct traces of the
Revolutionary fortifications still to be seen. It has ever since been a
matter of regret to me that the underbrush was so thick and heavy as
to prevent me from getting a photograph of the spot ; but I may yet pro-
cure such a picture.
It is worthy of remark in this connection that the British were
never able to reach the vicinity of the American camps down the Jockey
Hollow Road; and, had they been able to do so, it would, so military
experts have said, have required an army of at least fifty thousand
troops to dislodge the patriot army from the fastnesses which nature
had so generously and kindly furnished them.
Soon after the arrival of Washington's army in Morris County,
in the early part of December, 1779, a meeting of the Military Union
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, Number i, composed very largely
of Connecticut officers and men, was convened. The meeting was
held, perhaps, in the Arnold Tavern, in Morristown village, but more
probably on the camping-grounds of the Connecticut brigades down on
the Jockey Hollow Road. The object of this meeting was the election
of officers, and the making of preparations for the approaching Fes-
tival of St. John the Evangelist. At this meeting, probably held at
"Colonel Gray's quarters," the officers elected were as follows, nearly
all of whom were Connecticut men: Worshipful Master, Captain-
Lieutenant Jonathan Heart, of the Third Connecticut Regiment;
Senior Warden, Lieutenant and Paymaster Richard Sill, of the Eighth
Connecticut Regiment ; Junior Warden, Captain Robert Warner, of the
Third Connecticut Regiment; Treasurer, Captain William Richards,
of the First Connecticut Regiment ; Secretary, Surgeon John R. Wat-
rous, of the Third Connecticut Regiment ; Senior Deacon, Lieutenant-
Colonel Thomas Grosvenor ; Junior Deacon, Captain Henry Champion,
of the First Connecticut Regiment. The Tylers appointed were Jo-
seph Lorain and Thomas Binns, of Captain Pond's Company, Sixth
Connecticut Regiment.
The Festival of St. John the Evangelist was held in the Assembly
Room at the Arnold Tavern, in Morristown village, on December 27,
1779, and the officers of the Lodge present were: Heart, Sill, War-
ner, Richards, Watrous, Grosvenor, Little, and Lorain and Binns,
Tylers.
The members of the Lodge present were: Stilwell, Higgins,

Worthington, Curtis, Barker, Gray, Sherman (probably Colonel Isaac
Sherman, of the Eighth Connecticut Regiment), Craig, Wilson, Bush,
Judd, Heath, S. Richards, S. Wyllys, Fitch, Pierce, Sargeant, Graham,
Fitch, and Whiting.
These officers and members, as might be shown if space permit-
ted, were men distinguished by their patriotic and efficient services in
the American army. A sketch of their lives and services would prove
of unusual interest ; but the scope of the present article does not allow
of this.
Among the visiting brethren at this historic meeting were Wash-
ington, Hamilton, Maxwell, Dayton, White, Gist, Lawrence, and many
others whose names cannot now be mentioned.
After the usual Lodge ceremonies had been performed, a proces-
sion was formed and marched across the village green to the First
Presbyterian Church, where the Reverend Abraham Baldwin, D. D.,
then Chaplain of the Connecticut Division of troops, delivered an ap-
propriate address, which was subsequently published and which is, no
doubt, still extant among the archives of some Connecticut Lodge of
Free Masons.
Doctor Baldwin was a native of Guilford, Connecticut. He was
graduated from Yale College and was a tutor there until the beginning
of the Revolution, when he entered the Service.
Than the camping-ground sites of the Connecticut Division, none
are more distinctly marked; and a personal examination, under the
guidance of one acquainted with the grounds, by the lover of Revolu-
tionary history, would convince him that no other camp-sites of the
patriot army, during the trying winter of 1779-80, furnish greater sat-
isfaction than those on the easterly slope of Fort Hill. Twice, since my
initial visit to these grounds, have I, with growing interest and with
fresh discoveries, gone over them. In the quietude of these grounds an
active imagination again peoples them with the forms of the blue and
buff from Connecticut somewhat as they appeared nearly a century
and a half ago.
If any resident of the "Nutmeg State" ever visits Morris County,
New Jersey, he should not miss going over these historic grounds, once
alive with the Connecticut soldiers, to remind him of the services and
sacrifices and sufferings of the men who exhibited their love of na-
tional independence no less in camp on the eastern slope of Fort Hill in
the winter of 1779-80 than on the battle-fields of the Revolution.

BY
CHARLES GILMER GRAY
ISTORIANS are generally agreed that the conquest
of the Illinois Country by Colonel George Rogers
Clark, early in the period of the war of the American
Revolution, and its retention under American rule
until the war's close, had much to do with this whole
______ Mississippi Valley country being held under the nego-
tiations of 1782, as part of that territory constituting the present
United States. But for this, the whole vast region, lying north of
the Ohio and east of the Mississippi, and reaching even further down
along the east banks of the river, to touch the Spanish possessions,
in extent of greater area than all that lying east of the Alleghany
range of mountains, would have remained British territory, along
with Canada at the north.
It often happens that less danger attaches to the conquering
than to the keeping the conquered territory. It was a brave accom-
plishment, — the gaining this far-off enemy's country: the holding
it required no less bravery. After the surprising success of the cam-
paign in which Kaskaskia, Cahokia, Post St. Vincent's, and the
smaller posts of the Illinois Country came into the possession of the
Americans, a situation presented itself calculated to cause serious
concern, especially to the leader who had been instrumental in bring-
ing it about. To him, looking around, peril threatened on every
side. Colonel Clark and his little army were here in the very heart
of the enemy's country, a thousand miles or more from the centre
of population of Virginia whence they came, with high ranges of
mountains intervening, cut off from sources of supply, hostile sav-
[356]

ages on every hand, and with the British from Canada threatening
to attack.
Ever since 1763, when France relinquished her claim, British
rule had extended over this whole northwest country, Detroit on the
Lakes as the active centre of operations and seat of government.
Here lived the Lieutenant Governor, who, under the Governor of
Quebec, exercised authority both civil and military in the Illinois
Country. The present Lieutenant Governor was Henry Hamilton,
a man of energy and address, who, during his incumbency, had bent
his efforts to gain the friendship and aid of the many Indian tribes
residing in the territory under his rule ; and indeed, by means of fair
promises and lavish gifts, he had succeeded fairly well in establish-
ing friendly relations with many of them.
In consideration of all these facts, two things appeared to Colonel
Clark most important to be done — equally important they seemed:
First, the conciliating of the savages in all the surrounding country;
and, next, the capture of Detroit.
As to the latter, it had long been looked upon as a military neces-
sity, having been regarded as the only means of securing permanent
tranquility for the Illinois and Kentucky settlements. In one of his
letters to Colonel Clark, Governor Patrick Henry, of Virginia, had
said, "Our peace and safety are not secure while the enemy are as
near as Detroit," and in another, looking forward to a situation exactly
such as at present, "I know therefore of but two objects for next
summer's operations: — these are an expedition against Detroit, and
another against those tribes of Indians between the Ohio and Illinois
rivers which have harassed us with eternal hostilities."
But this taking of Detroit away to the north was full of dangers.
Aside from the great distance and the strong line of fortifications,
a garrison numbering several hundred was maintained there. Before
undertaking this expedition, additional forces must be secured. There-
fore some time must be taken gathering them together, as well as in
strengthening the positions already taken.
While this was being done, Clark set himself the task of win-
ning over from the British interests the numerous neighboring savage
tribes, considering this in itself to be an accomplishment worth his
while, and an essential in a successful campaign against the English
at Detroit. For the carrying out of this design he was well fitted by
his experience in dealing with Indians in the Kentucky settlements,
and by his natural quick perception and sagacity. Through long
[357]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
acquaintance, he was thoroughly familiar with Indian customs and
•I a good understanding of Indian nature.
Entering on this difficult work, he had outlined a policy which
^i^ved immensely successful in its working out. The basal idea was
that the Indian by nature was subservient, was impressed by prowess,
and that he would attach himself to whichever side seemed most likely
to afford him protection. By his policy Clark hoped to gain the
ascendancy over these Indian tribes by a display of power, and by
tact, rather than by war.
There were a dozen or more strong tribes in this territory, whose
friendship must be gained and whose Chiefs and Sachems must be won
over to his cavtse. The British had gained and held them by gifts be-
stowed, as had the French before them. It was not in Clark's plan to
gain favor by buying it, for then, he said, the Indians would think him
weak. His purpose was to convince the Indians that the government
he represented was stronger than the English government, and could
afford them better protection. In his harangues before their coun-
cils he claimed he represented the "good father," the government of
Virginia, and the King of France, who had sent him out to look after
their children; that he was fighting the British because they had not
treated the Americans fairly;- and that, if the Indians wanted to be
friends to the British, they should go and fight with them, but, if they
did, it would not be long till they would be driven from the face of
the earth, because they could see how the Americans had taken all
the forts from the British ; that they were not able to defend them-
selves ; that when fighting the British the Americans considered they
were fighlting squaws. By such speeches, well pressed by his strong
personality, he made telling appeals for friendly relations to these red
men of forest and streams.
The success of this policy is indicated in a letter of Clark, giving
an account of these events, written to his friend, Mr. George Mason
of Virginia, in the year 1779, where he says: "It was with aston-
ishment that we viewed the great number of savages that flocked
into the town of Cahoos [Cahokia] to treat for peace, many of them
coming from 500 miles distant." Governor Henry, too, in his letters
to the Legislature, informing them of the great success of the enter-
prise, says: "Colonel Clark has not only reduced the English posts
in the Illinois Country, but has struck such terror into the Indian
tribes between the lower settlements and the lakes that no less than
five of them, — the Puans, the Sacks, the Renards, the Powtowanta-
[358]
GENERAL CLARK IN THE ENEMY S COUNTRY
mies, and the Miamies, who had received the hatchet from the English
emissaries, — have submitted to our arms, given up all their English
presents, and bound themselves by treaties and promises to be peacea-
ble in the future. The great Blackbird, the Chippewan chief, has
also sent a belt of peace to Colonel Clark, also the Peankishows, the
Towows, Peorias, Delawares, Pillikishaws, Marketans, and some of
the Shawnese chiefs, have also given up all their tokens of attachment
to their enemies, and pledged their fidelity to us."
Their extracts show in a graphic manner the changed attitude
of the Indians as between the English and the Americans.
These councils, assembled for the making of treaties and securing
pledges of peace, were events of much importance amongst the tribes,
and were made much of, being very often preceded and followed by
dancing and feasting and accompanied by long-drawn-out ceremonials,
with the giving and receiving of presents as the usual, not-to-be-for-
gotten accompaniment.
The assemblies frequently occurred at night, with a setting to
make for the impressiveness of the occasion, in the Chief's tent or
council house, maybe lit up only by the fitful flame of the council fire.
Skins of wild animals, — the bear, the wolf, the shaggy buffalo,—
spread on the ground, furnished seats for these dusky warrior-coun-
selors.
Presently, the set time having arrived, Colonel Clark, with some
of his officers detailed for the duty, enter, taking places near the
centre in seats prepared for them. Then come the representatives of
the tribes, the Chiefs, the Sachems, the ambassadors, if any there
are, and any others, all entering single file and silently seating them-
selves, some squatting, some sitting, others reclining, savage fashion.
They are all bedecked and bedaubed with feathers and vermilion or
ochre paints, and clothed in deer or bear skin suits.
In such assemblies, along with other representatives, there was
one gifted with the tongue and the arts of the orator, who, at the
proper time, was put forward to speak for the tribe. He was usually
straight, and well formed as to body, with mind well filled with his
people's history, and memory stored with Indian metaphor and
imagery, and ready speech and gesture to set it forth.
Now the ceremonials begin by the passing of the calumet and the
smoking by all, if they will, of the peace pipe. In due course the ora-
tor arises. His first words are some compliment to the white men
who have invited them, to the Great Father, the Governor of Virginia,
[359]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
and to the King of France. As he begins his set speech, a string of
wampum belts is produced to make binding the pledges he is to make
on behalf of his tribe. He holds one up, offering it as a present to
the white man, the representative of the Great Father, the Governor
of Virginia, and the King of France, to show him that the Indians
want peace, that they are done with war. Here he becomes dramatic.
Snatching up a hatchet and brandishing it like mad, he flings it with
great violence into the fire, saying: "Thus is my anger against
the Americans thrown away." A second belt is now held up and
handed over as a present to show that the sun is bright, the air
clear, the stream smooth. The third is passed over to declare that
his tribe had sent presents to the other tribes, to recall their war
parties, looking forward to the future time of peace. A fourth belt
is to open the rivers and streams to the passage of the boats of the
Americans. A fifth is to drive away the hostile canoes from their
rivers; a sixth to smooth away the rapids, and calm the whirlpools,
so the boats of the Americans can pass safely. All these much-
to-be-wished-for things, — the peaceful passage of the rivers, the driv-
ing away of the hostile canoes, the smoothing away of the rapids,—
are made to pass before the hearers as a drama by the wild art of
the orator. "Look," he says, waving his hands, "the sky is clear,
the streams are open, the cataracts are smoothed away." Another
belt is handed over, maybe of unusual size and splendor, to bind
together his tribe with the Americans and French, as allies, as one
man, making the union of these people vivid, by bringing forward
one of his tribe setting them close and binding these two with one
of the American officers by joining arms; making them appear as
one man. The next belt invites the Americans to feast with them,
saying their country is full of fish and game of every kind. The
last belt is to scatter the clouds, that the sun may shine on the hearts
of the Americans and Indians, showing their sincerity and truth in
these thoughts of peace, and their proffer of peace with the Americans.
His speech being done, the orator sits down, with the grunts of
approval of his red followers.
Then comes the response of the American commander, and his
distribution of gifts — if he bestows any, for it was not in his plan to
gain favor by gifts. Then, after other periods of speech-making,
and smoking and silences, the council comes to a close, to be followed
by another in a day or two to conclude and sign the treaties.
It occurred sometimes in these council meetings, that Colonel
[360]
GENERAL CLARK IN THE ENEMY S COUNTRY
Clark and his fellow Commissioners were placed in positions of much
personal danger. Of all the tribes the Shawnees remained longest
hostile to the Americans. As some one said, they were "the first in bat-
tle, the last in treaty." It is related of this tribe that at last they
agreed to bury the hatchet and sue for peace.
A Council having been called, the American Commissioners,
headed by Colonel Clark, were seated at the table in the centre — a
scant half dozen of them. When it came time for the Indian dele-
gation to appear, much to their surprise, three hundred Shawnees,
their finest warriors, in full paint and feathers, filed into the council
house and took seats around. The unusual number excited suspicion
of their peaceable intentions. Then there were only seventy Ameri-
can soldiers in the stockade adjoining. What follows shows the fear-
lessness of Colonel Clark, as well as his art in bringing these unruly
savages to his terms.
The Indians put forward an old Sachem and a young war Chief
to speak for them. The latter made a boisterous harangue, which
aroused the angry passions of his savage hearers, who responded
with loud whoops at every pause. In closing he placed on the table
a black and a white wampum belt, indicating by this that they were
ready for either event, peace or war.
While all this was in progress, Colonel Clark, with head resting
on his left hand and elbow on table, had shown the utmost uncon-
cern. But now, taking up his cane, he pushed the belts off the table
on to the floor. At this, the astonished savages all started to their
feet, uttering sounds all together to frighten the bravest heart. At
this juncture, Clark arose, swept the line with a withering glance,
stamped the belts under his foot, and ordered them all to leave the
hall. This they did, though with reluctance. All night they were
heard parleying among themselves. The younger warriors were for
war, the older for peace. The next morning they came together in
council again and sued for peace.
These frontier wars waged during this period were of a very
different character from wars as usually carried on between civilized
peoples. It was not a body of trained soldiers battling with another
trained body. They partook more of the nature of raids ; of the sur-
prise of a family, or of a cluster of families; of attacks on some
weak unprotected settlement; of the massacre of innocent women
and children ; of scalpings ; of tortures ; and such-like barbarities and
inhumanities. By these raids the border communities were kept in
a constant state of alarm and terror.
[36i]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
History bears out the statement that ever since the commence-
ment of the Revolutionary War the British had been in many instances
the instigators of these raids, and had made use of the savages as
allies in carrying them out. It was so in the Carolinas and in the
borders of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New York. This same policy
they were now employing in the Illinois Country.
It would please us better to believe this accidental, a wrong
understanding of orders, a mistake of some subordinate officer. But
it was none of these, as clearly appears. Correspondence exists
between English officers high in authority showing this a part of
their settled policy in the conduct of thle war. There is a letter even
from the Secretary of State, Germain, approving of the same. In a
letter of General Haldemand, with date August 26, 1778, he says:
"Some of the Indians might easily be induced to undertake expediti-
tiously to clear all of the Illinois Country of these invaders."
Lieutenant Governor Hamilton appears in the first place to have
urged the use of the savage allies, and it was met with the endorsement
of those high in authority. Here are some facts:
Hamilton, of Detroit, under orders of Germain, Secretary of
State, sent out fifteen several parties, in all two hundred and eighty-
nine red men, under thirty white officers, to prowl on the frontiers
of Pennsylvania and Virginia. In his report to Governor Guy Carl-
eton, on their return, he says the Indians had brought in seventy-three
prisoners alive, and one hundred and twenty-nine scalps. In a later
report to Governor Haldimand, who had now replaced Carlton, he
says that since last May the Indians in this district had taken thirty-
four prisoners and eighty-one scalps.
On June 30, 1778, four hundred English soldiers and seven hun-
dred Seneca Indians entered the Wyoming Valley lying along the
beautiful Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, finding there only a
small band of three hundred males, made up of old men and boys,
unsuited, on account of age, for military service, the able-bodied men
being with Washington and his army.
On July 3, this brave but doomed band, under the leadership of
Colonel Zebulon Butler, deeming their only hope to be in defiance,
marched out to meet their enemy. The British, with their savage
allies, greatly outnumbering the opposing force, under pretense of
retreating, drew them into an ambuscade, in which they suffered
total defeat, with two hundred and twenty-five scalps taken, pris-
oners all massacred, and very few escaping to tell the tale.
[362]
GENERAL CLARK IN THE ENEMY S COUNTRY
Early in 1779, the traitor Simon Girty, with Captain Bird of the
King's Regiment, and a small band of British officers, leading a
horde of savages, — the Wyandots and the Mingoes, — ravaged the
country surrounding Pittsburgh, going to the extent of besieging
Fort Pitt itself for a month.
On May 26 a force of what was supposed to be three hundred
Indians, under the direction of Major de Peyster, Commandant at
Detroit, and led by a British officer, Sinclair, appeared in the vicinity
of St. Louis, at that time a French town, expecting to capture it;
but failed to attack, on account of the defection of some of the Indians.
Another division, under Langlade, similarly made up, with some
traitors added, were expected to fall upon Kaskaskia, capital of the
Illinois, and capture it. These two divisions contained fifteen hun-
dred savages.
A third division was expected to come up into the Illinois Coun-
try from the south, led by a Scotchman, Colvert, and supported by a
horde of savages from the Cherokee and Chickasaw tribes. Each
of these three expeditions was part of a concerted plan to attack
Colonel Clark and his forces from all these different directions, and
either destroy or drive them out of the country.
The controlling thought underlying this barbarous mode of war-
fare seems to have been that it would strike terror into the hearts of
the rebels, — as the Americans were called, — especially those on the
frontiers, and bring them to a quick submission. But it must, in
fairness, be said, that this course met much opposition, even amongst
the British Army officers in this country. Governor Abbott himself
opposed the policy, except in a modified form, as did Governor Guy
Carleton before him, and many others.
Lieutenant Governor Hamilton of Detroit, more than any one
else, had put in practice this inhuman feature of the war, even going
to the extent of offering standing reward for scalps; and he, more
than anyone else, had to bear the opprobrium of such a course.
The policy of Colonel Clark in this respect was in marked con-
trast to that of Hamilton. Time and again he refused the offers
of noted Indian warriors with their followers, asking them to sit
still, that he did not need them to fight.
Kaskaskia had been occupied on July 4, 1778. On August 4
word reached Hamilton that the Illinois Country was in the hands
of the rebels. He at once despatched Monsieur Caleron, with war
belts for the Wabash Indians, half-way down to St. Vincent's. The
next few weeks he devoted to getting ready for the campaign.
[363]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
In organizing his forces, he depended largely on the help of the
Indians. On October 7 the expedition, with Hamilton in command,
set out for the retaking of the fallen fort. His force consisted of
one hundred and eighty men, of whom sixty were Indians. At Miami
Town, now Fort Wayne, they were met by several tribes, to whom
they made presents, at the same time asking their aid. On resuming
their march, many of these Indians joined them, to whom they
furnished guns and ammunition.
At the end of seventy-two days, Hamilton reached his destina-
tion, where he found Captain Helm in command of the American
forces. The fort was in a bad situation for defense. There had been
a garrison of seventy men, made up almost entirely of French adher-
ents ; but, at the sight of the superior enemy, these "folded their tents
like the Arabs, and as silently stole away."
In a letter to Captain Helm to Colonel Clark, he says: "The
enemy in sight with their 500 or 600 men — I have 21 men but what
have left me and not 4 that can really depend upon."
But, nothing daunted, the Captain put up as good a show of
defense as possible. He had a loaded cannon wheeled to the entrance
to the fort, manned and ready to fire at command. When the Brit-
ish Commander demanded surrender, Helm ordered them to halt,
and asked the terms. On being accorded the honors of war, he gave
up the fort.
In due course, the news of St. Vincent's fall came to Colonel
Clark at Kaskaskia, while in the midst of his preparations against
Detroit. He at once decided that, instead of Detroit, he must direct
his efforts to the retaking of the fallen fort at St. Vincent.
His situation seemed now doubly full of peril; but, brave man
that he was, he determined to win success by some bold stroke. He
wrote to Governor Henry, February 3, 1779: "I am resolved to take
advantage of his [Hamilton's] present situation, and risk the whole
in a single battle. I know the case is desperate but, Sir, we must
either quit the country, or attack Mr. Hamilton. Who knows what
fortune may do for us: Great things have been effected by a few
men well conducted."
Within a few days, he set out, with not over one hundred and
seventy men, to make a perilous march in dead of winter from Kas-
kaskia to Vincennes, a full two hundred miles, taking twenty-three
days to traverse, making a journey that tried men's souls, and sue-
[364]
GENERAL CLARK IN THE ENEMY S COUNTRY
ceeding above expectations in capturing the fort, along with the
persons of Hamilton and a train of British officers and soldiers.
By this bold stroke he relieved himself of present peril, threat-
ening on all sides, and the more firmly established himself in the
very heart of the enemy's country.

HE NAME by which the Society is to
be known is "The National Historical So-
ciety."
The Society is to continue in perpetuity.
The particular business and objects of
the Society will be :
(a) To discover, procure, preserve, and perpetuate
whatever relates to History, the History of the Western
Hemisphere, the History of the United States of America
and their possessions, and the History of Families.
(b) To inculcate and bulwark patriotism, in no par-
tisan, sectional, nor narrowly national sense, but in recog-
nition of man's high obligation toward civic righteousness,
believing that human governments are divinely ordained
to bear the sword and exercise police duty for good against
evil, and not for evil against good, and recognizing, as be-
tween peoples and peoples, that "God has made of one
blood all nations of men."
(c) To provide a national and international patri-
otic clearing-house and historical exchange, promoting by
suitable means helpful forms of communication and co-op-
eration between all historical organizations, patriotic or-
ders, and kindred societies, local, state, national, and inter-
national, that the usefulness of all may be increased and
their benefits extended toward education and patriotism.
(d) To promote the work of preserving historic
land-marks and marking historic sites.
(e) To encourage the use of historical themes and
the expression of patriotism in the Arts.
(/) In the furtherance of the objects and purposes
of the Society, and not as a commercial business, to acquire
The Journal of American History, and to publish the same
as the official organ of the Society, and to publish or pro-
mote the publication of whatever else may seem advisable
in furtherance of the objects of the Society.
(g) To authorize the organization of members of
the Society, resident in given localities, into associated
branch societies, or chapters of the parent Society, and to
promote by all other suitable means the purpose, objects,
and work of the Society.

THE GULL MONUMENT, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
The first harvest of the Utah pioneers, 1848. was being devas-
tated by a plague of black crickets, and the settlers faced
dire privation, when, as by a miracle, flocks of white gulls
flew in swift destruction down upon the pests, annihilated
them, and saved the h;irv< st. This monument was erected
in 1913 to commemorate the event.

FRANK ALLABEN
President of The National Historical Society
N THE WORDS which follow, President Wilson ad-
dressed a meeting of the League to Enforce Peace in
Washington on May 27, 1916. Perhaps never before
in the history of the world has an utterance so momen-
tous fallen from the lips of the Chief Magistrate of a
great nation. For he spoke within the hearing of all
the nations of the earth, alert and troubled by war, with their hour
standing at attention. He said :
When the invitation to be here to-night came to me, I was glad to accept it, not because
it offered me an opportunity to discuss the program of the league (that you will, I am sure,
not expect of me), but because the desire of the whole world now turns eagerly, more and
more eagerly, toward the hope of peace, and there is just reason why we should take our
part in counsel upon this great theme. It is right that I, as spokesman of our Government,
should attempt ts give expression to what I believe to be the thought and purpose of the
people of the United States in this vital matter.
This great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago, and which has
swept within its flame so great a part of the civilized world, has affected us very profoundly,
and we are not only at liberty, it is perhaps our duty, to speak very frankly of it and of
the great interests of civilization which it affects.
With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from
which its stupendous flood has burst forth we are not interested to search for or explore.
[417]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
But so great a flood, spread far and wide to every quarter of the globe, has of necessity
engulfed many a fair province of right that lies very near to us. Our own rights as a
nation, the liberties, the privileges, and the property of our people have been profoundly
affected.
We are not mere disconnected lookers-on. The longer the war lasts the more deeply
do we become concerned that it should be brought to an end and the world be permitted to
resume its normal life and course again. And when it does come to an end, we shall be as
much concerned as the nations at war to see peace assume an aspect of permanence, give
promise of days from which the anxiety of uncertainty shall be lifted, bring some assurance
that peace and war shall always hereafter be reckoned part of the common interest of
mankind.
We are participants, whether we would or not, in the life of the world. The interests
of all nations are our own also. We are partners with the rest. What affects mankind
is inevitably our affair as well as the affair of the nations of Europe and of Asia.
One observation on the causes of the present war we are at liberty to make, and to make
it may throw some light forward upon the future, as well as backward upon the past. It
is plain that this war could have come only as it did, suddenly and out of secret counsels,
without warning to the world, without discussion, without any of the deliberate move-
ments of counsel with which it would seem natural to approach so stupendous a contest.
It is probable that if it had been foreseen just what would happen, just what alliances would
be formed, just what forces arrayed against one another, those who brought the great
contest on would have been glad to substitute conference for force.
If we ourselves had been afforded some opportunity to apprise the belligerents of the
attitude which it would be our duty to take, of the policies and practices against which
we would feel bound to use all our moral and economic strength, and in certain circumstances
even our physical strength also, our own contribution to the counsel, which might have
averted the struggle, would have been considered worth weighing and regarding.
And the lesson, which the shock of being taken by surprise in a matter so deeply vital
to all the nations of the world has made poignantly clear, is that the peace of the world
must henceforth depend upon a new and more wholesome diplomacy. Only when the great
nations of the world have reached some sort of agreement as to what they hold to be
fundamental to their common interest, and as to some feasible method of acting in concert
when any nation or group of nations seeks to disturb those fundamental things, can we feel
that civilization is at last in a way of justifying its existence and claiming to be finally
established. It is clear that nations must in the future be governed by the same high code of
honor that we demand of individuals.
We must, indeed, in the very same breath with which we avow this conviction, admit
that we have ourselves upon occasion in the past been offenders against the law of diplomacy,
which we thus forecast ; but our conviction is not the less clear, but rather the more clear,
on that account.
If this war has accomplished nothing else for the benefit of the world, it has at least
disclosed a great moral necessity and set forward the thinking of the statesmen of the
world by a whole age. Repeated utterances of the leading statesmen of most of the great
nations now engaged in war have made it plain that their thought has come to this: That
the principle of public right must henceforth take precedence over the individual interests
of particular nations and that the nations of the world must in some way band themselves
together to see that right prevails as against any sort of selfish aggression; that hence-
forth alliance must not be set up against alliance, understanding against understanding, but
that there must be a common agreement for a common object, and that at the heart of that
common object must lie the inviolable rights of peoples and of mankind.
The nations of the world have become each other's neighbors. It is to their interest
that they should understand each other. In order that they may understand each other it is
imperative that they should agree to co-operate in a common cause and that they should
so act that the guiding principle of that common cause shall be even-handed and impartial
justice.
This is undoubtedly the thought of America. This is what we ourselves will say when
there comes proper occasion to say it. In the dealings of nations with one another arbitrary
force must be rejected and we must move forward to the thought of the modern world,
the thought of which peace is the very atmosphere. That thought constitutes a chief part
of the passionate conviction of America.
We believe these fundamental things :
[4l8]
THE WORLD S NEED OF INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT
First, that every people has a right to choose the sovereignty under which they shall
live. Like other nations, we have ourselves no doubt once and again offended against
that principle when for a little while controlled by selfish passion, as our franker historians
have been honorable enough to admit; but it has become more and more our rule of life and
action.
Second, that the small States of the world have a right to enjoy the same respect for
their sovereignty and for their territorial integrity that great and powerful nations expect
and insist upon.
And, third, that the world has a right to be free from every disturbance of its peace
that has its origin in aggression and disregard of the rights of peoples and nations.
So sincerely do we believe in these things that I am sure that I speak the mind and
wish of the people of America when I say that the United States is willing to become a
partner in any feasible association of nations formed in order to realize these objects and
make them secure against violation.
There is nothing that the United States wants for itself that any other nation has.
We are willing, on the contrary, to limit ourselves along with them to a prescribed course
of duty and respect for the rights of others, which will check any selfish passion of our
own, as it will check any aggressive impulse of theirs.
If it should ever be our privilege to suggest or initiate a movement for peace among the
nations now at war, I am sure that the people of the United States would wish their Gov-
ernment to move along these lines:
First — Such a settlement with regard to their own immediate interests as the bellig-
erents may agree upon. We have nothing material of any kind to ask for ourselves, and
are quite aware that we are in no sense or degree parties to the present quarrel. Our
interest is only in peace and its future guarantees.
Second — A universal association of the nations to maintain the inviolate security of
the highway of the seas for the common and unhindered use of all the nations of the
world, and to prevent any war, begun either contrary to treaty covenants or without warn-
ing, and full submission of the causes to the opinion of the world — a virtual guarantee of
territorial integrity and political independence.
But I did not come here, let me repeat, to discuss a program. I came only to avow a
creed and give expression to the confidence I feel that the world is even now upon the eve
of a great consummation, when some common force will be brought into existence which
shall safeguard right as the first and most fundamental interest of all peoples and all
Governments, when coercion shall be summoned not to the service of political ambition
or selfish hostility, but to the service of a common order, a common justice, and a common
peace.
God grant that the dawn of that day of frank dealing and of settled peace, concord, and
co-operation may be near at hand !
A union of all nations to maintain international righteousness and
peace has been the dream of men of vision for centuries. But to all
the world until of late it has been merely a dream. Improbable, if not
impracticable, the project still seemed when advocated by the writer
less than two years ago, soon after the present war broke out in Europe.
When the war-cloud burst he was one of the very first publicly to urge,
as the only possible solution of the problem of maintaining world-
peace, a world-league of the nations to enforce international law and
order by their combined armies and navies used solely as a police-
power. And, to the best of our knowledge, the first detailed plan for
such a league, with the suggestion that it might at once be put in oper-
ation among the republics of the Western Hemisphere, was made pub-
lic by the editor-in-chief of The Journal of American History in a com-
[419]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
munication written in September, 1914, dated October i, and pub-
lished in the New York Evening Post of October 10, 1914.
This is here mentioned to show that the editors of this Magazine
have closely followed the development of public sentiment along these
lines since the war began, and in evidence that the warning against in-
adequate measures, which we shall give further on, grows out of much
consideration of the subject.
In The Journal of American History for October, 1914, in some
pages of verse under the title of "The Bones of Columbus," the writer
also set forth the necessity for and elemental principles of a World-
Court in the following lines, supposedly addressed from heaven by the
spirit of Columbus to the warring and neutral nations :
Who knighted you, ye gory swords ? Who throned you where ye are
On your mountains, each the weak to weapon, burning like a star,
And evil with the fiery-whirling blade-Cherubic bar?
And game ye with your swords as dice, transforming into foe
For plunder all your flesh and blood, curst Abel-slayers? Wo,
When guardian swords revolt to rob— commissioned but to smite
To police the day of evil and the darkness gaol in light !
*******
Ye shepherd-rods, turned serpents, fear lest God invoke the hour
That throws His Sceptre, serpent-fanged, to swallow all your power !
And haste, ye Western Isles, to fling your standards in the lead,
Lest the mantle of your Freedom fall and all your glories bleed !
*******
The demonries of thrones engaol, that render Right no awe :
Let the nations judge the nations' crimes as men judge men by law!
In the nations' gate assemble Court, ye cannon of the free,
And lift on swords the Ermine o'er the islands of the sea !
Yea, swear your knightly fealty to Law in holy act,
And sword the felon treasonry that plots against the pact!
Yet give the banished cause her times to come again and kneel,
That conscience to her Golden Light forever may appeal ;
But around the power whose lawless hour flings out forbidden sin
Let your golden stars swing prison bars to shut the darkness in !
Charles Sumner clearly grasped the necessity of an international
court to deal with all the causes iniquitously settled by wars, and in The
Journal of American History for January and April, 1915, we re-
printed Sumner's masterly address, "The War System of the Common-
wealth of Nations," which he delivered before the American Peace So-
ciety in 1849. In a letter dated May 28, 1915, sent to each of the for-
eign delegates to the Pan-American Financial Congress then in session
in Washington, the writer presented his plan for a World-Court in
more condensed form than in the communication in the Evening Post
of October 10, 1914. This letter was printed in the Washington Star,
and also in The Journal of American History, under the title, "An In-
[420]
THE WORLD S NEED OF INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT
ternational Supreme Court for the Western Hemisphere." We shall
have occasion to refer to this further on.
II
The growing sentiment in this country in favor of international
government in the super-national realm of law and politics has had to
make its way against the alarmist doctrines of extreme militarists with
whom war seems to be almost a sacred fetich. During September,
1914, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt issued the first of a series of news-
paper syndicate articles which dwelt upon the impotence of interna-
tional treaties and cast obloquy upon the remarkable peace-and-arbitra-
tion treaties which our Government had been negotiating with the prin-
cipal nations of Latin- America and Europe. We felt that an exagger-
ated assertion of the uselessness of treaties, with a narrowly partisan
treatment of great questions which should not be examined in a par-
tisan spirit, must have an injurious effect; and it was in challenge of
Mr. Roosevelt's adjective-hurling and passionate over-statement
against treaties that we prepared the communication which appeared
in the Evening Post.
We contended that one swallow does not make a summer ; that the
treatment of one treaty as "a scrap of paper" by an unscrupulous power
has not destroyed the general value of treaties; that, contrarily, the
conscience of the whole world was aroused precisely on account of this
callous breaking of treaty- faith ; that the whole progress of interna-
tional law has been nothing else but the nations' gradual yet steady de-
velopment in treaty-making and treaty-keeping, with a growing inter-
national conscience respecting the obligation and sacredness of treaties
—proven by the fact that treaty-breaking during the present war has
aroused the conscience of mankind as in no previous conflict in human
history. This growth in human conscience is a greater gain to the
race than any possible temporal advantage by wars.
It was also maintained that the peace-and-arbitration treaties,
negotiated by the Wilson Administration and denounced by Theodore
Roosevelt, set the high-water mark in treaty-making so far attained in
the world; that if these treaties were as impotent as Mr. Roosevelt
maintained, it was astonishing that the foremost statesmen of the most
progressive nations in Europe should join the United States in nego-
tiating them ; and that it could be easily shown that these treaties pro-
vided a solid basis upon which, by a mere extension of their principles,
an international world-court, supported by world-power, to be exercised
[421]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
if necessary as world-force, could be erected. A plan for such a world-
court, proceeding from these treaties as partial support and point of
departure, was outlined in some detail, and its adoption by the Western
Hemisphere during the progress of the present war shown to be
feasible.
It is an interesting fact that our Government has since taken steps
in the direction suggested so far as the republics of the Western
Hemisphere are concerned. We here give the text of a general Pan-
American treaty, submitted by our Secretary of State to fifteen Cen-
tral and South American governments which have accepted it in prin-
ciple.
Article I. The high contracting parties agree to join one another in a common and
mutual guarantee of territorial integrity under republican forms of government.
Article II. To give definite application to the guarantees set forth in Article I, the
high contracting parties severally agree to endeavor forthwith to reach a settlement of
all disputes as to boundaries or territory now pending between them by amicable agree-
ment or by means of international arbitration.
Article III. The high contracting parties further agree (i) that all questions of
international character arising between any two or more of them which cannot be settled
by the ordinary means of diplomatic correspondence shall, before any declaration of war or
beginning of hostilities, be first submitted to a permanent international commission for
investigation, one year being allowed for such investigation, and (2) if the dispute is
not settled by investigation, to submit the same to arbitration provided the question in
dispute does not affect the honor, independence, or vital interests of the nations con-
cerned or the interests of third parties.
Article IV. To the end that domestic tranquility may prevail within their territory,
the high contracting parties further agree not to permit the departure of any military
or naval expedition hostile to the established government of any of the contracting parties
and to prevent the exportation of arms and munitions of war destined to any person or
persons in insurrection or revolt against the government of any of the contracting parties.
The execution of such a general treaty, mutually guaranteeing the
territorial integrity and political independence of the nations of the
Western Hemisphere, would establish a unique precedent among the
peoples of the earth, and it is greatly to be hoped that every American
republic will grasp the opportunity to set such an example to the world.
As a measure to prevent war, however, this treaty is very defective in
just that quarter from which all wars come, because of its reserva-
tion from compulsory arbitration of questions which "affect the honor,
independence, or vital interests of the nations concerned or the inter-
ests of third parties." Nevertheless, the proposal of such a treaty
shows the direction of President Wilson's thought, preparing us in
measure for his epochal address before the League to Enforce Peace,
as given at the head of this article.
The organization of that League, effected during the present
year, the publicity given to its principles, and the widespread and hearty
response to its suggestions, are other elements which no doubt encour-
aged President Wilson to "attempt to give expression" to what he be-
[422]
THE WORLD S NEED OF INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT
lieves "to be the thought and purpose of the people of the United States
in this vital matter."
He also referred to "repeated utterances of the leading statesmen
of most of the great nations engaged in war ;" and one of the most re-
markable of these, its publication preceding the President's address by
about a week's time, came from Sir Edward Grey, British Secretary of
Foreign Affairs, approved by subsequent remarks of Mr. Asquith,
British Prime Minister. Sir Edward advocated "a peace secured by
unified and armed purpose of civilization" — "a league of nations, that
would be united, quick, and instant to prevent, and, if need be, punish,
violations of international treaties of public right and of national inde-
pendence, and would say to the nations that came forward with griev-
ances and claims :
"Put them before an impartial tribunal; subject your claims to
the test of law or the judgment of impartial men. If you can win at
this bar you will get what you want ; if you cannot you shall not have
what you want ; and if you start war we shall all adjudge you the com-
mon enemy of humanity and treat you accordingly. As footpads, burg-
lars, and incendiaries are suppressed in a community, so those who
commit these crimes and incalculably more than these crimes will be
suppressed among the nations." For "unless mankind learns from
this war to avoid war," Sir Edward Grey concluded, "the struggle will
have been in vain. Furthermore, it seems to me that over humanity
will loom the menace of destruction."
The words of Sir Edward Grey and the address of President Wil-
son show us that the dream of men of vision has now become the ur-
gent expectation of men of action. The whole world thus is brought
practically face to face with the possibility of doing away with war,
except only as a necessary exercise of police-duty against lawlessness,
by means of a partnership of the world's governments, a "universal
association of the nations" to ensure "even-handed and impartial jus-
tice'' and maintain "the inviolable rights of peoples and of mankind."
Month by month the terrible logic of unprecedented death and destruc-
tion has forced this dream as a practical hope upon the reluctant con-
sciences of the nations. The possibilities for the entire earth of such a
plan can scarcely be exaggerated to a thoughtful American who loves
righteousness, considers the fundamental problems and difficulties of
human government, and weighs the frightful consequences of great
modern wars as war now reveals them.
It is a gratifying fact, therefore, that the general principle of such
[423]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
a plan has been endorsed by incorporation in the platform recently
adopted by the national convention of one of our political parties, as
follows :
The circumstances of the last two years have revealed necessities of international action
which no former generation can have foreseen. We hold that it is the duty of the United
States to use its power, not only to make itself safe at home, but also to make secure its
just interests throughout the world, and both for this end and in the interest of humanity,
to assist the world in securing settled peace and justice. We believe that every people
has the right to choose the sovereignty under which it shall live; that the small States
of the world have a right to enjoy from other nations the same respect for their sovereignty
and for their territorial integrity that great and powerful nations expect and insist upon ;
and that the world has a right to be free from every disturbance of its peace that has its
origin in aggression or disregard of the rights of peoples and nations ; and we believe
that the time has come when it is the duty of the United States to join with the other
nations of the world in any feasible association that will effectively serve these principles,
to maintain inviolate the complete security of the highway of the seas for the common
and unhindered use of all nations.
The views of Americans on such a subject, however, should not
be, in any degree, partisan, but the expression of the high ideal of a
united country, ready to co-operate with all the world to maintain law
and righteousness and make war, save as police-power, inexcusable.
Ill
The issue presented by President Wilson on May 27 is the great-
est which can suggest itself to nations while the experiment of human
government endures. Failure to give every power of brain and heart
to solve such a problem would be a transgression against God and hu-
manity. Through human experimentation, under natural and revealed
law for generations and ages, the Throne above us has sought to teach
the nations righteousness. Even though we should ultimately fail,
through weakness inherent in our nature, yet if God unmistakably pre-
sents to our consciences a practical path toward international peace
and equity, we cannot with impunity refuse to walk in it.
While President Wilson set out "only to avow a creed" and not
"to discuss a program," the elements of a program have been put for-
ward and ought to be for all of us a subject of serious consideration.
We are about to discuss the program proposed by the League to En-
force Peace ; but before doing so shall here give the outline of the plan
set forth in the Evening Post of October 10, 1914, in the more concise
form in which it was subsequently presented to the delegates to the
Pan-American Financial Congress. This will show the possible sim-
plicity of a feasible plan of world-union for international government.
The suggestion was as follows :
I propose for your consideration, and that of all thoughtful men and women, the fol-
lowing outline of a plan to inaugurate among our American Republics an International
[424]
THE WORLDS NEED OF INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT
Supreme Court, in which all the other nations of the earth may also participate, on the
same equitable basis as ourselves, if they elect to do so.
1. The United States Government has already signed treaties with a majority of the
American Republics, calling for a joint commission between the United States and each
of the signatory Republics, to which will be referred, for a year's stody if necessary, any
dispute arising between the two nations which cannot be settled by diplomacy. Let the
United States sign such treaties with all the American Republics, and let the people of
the United States demand that their Senate abrogate all pretense to exercise rights incon-
sistent with the same.
2. Let each of the other American Republics execute such a treaty with every other
American Republic. I understand that Argentina, Brazil, and Chile have very recently
taken such a step among themselves.
While such treaties, it is hoped, would prevent war as a result of a sudden inflaming
of the public mind, they would not make war impossible between two disputing nations.
This end requires a further step.
3. Let each of the participating nations appoint a judge to sit in an International
Supreme Court ; if an even number of judges results, let them elect another judge, making
the total number odd, and let the decision of a majority determine the law. Let any dis-
pute, which can not be amicably adjusted between two or more nations after the recom-
mendation of their joint commission is before them, be referred to this International
Supreme Court, and let its decisions be international law, enforced, if necessary, by the
combined police power — the combined armies and navies — of all the nations represented
in the Court. Any participating power refusing to bow to this tribunal would thus become
an outlaw State. Felonious nations would be dealt with by the combined arm of the law-
abiding nations, as criminal individuals are now dealt with by a law-abiding community.
4. The judgments of the International Supreme Court, although commanding abso-
lute obedience while in force, should nevertheless be subject to rehearings at the ends
of certain stated terms of years, making full provision for any reversals required by
human conscience under growing enlightenment. With this provision, war- — except as
an exercise of police power to compel obedience to law, as police power is now used within
a nation — could no longer find a righteous excuse.
This plan holds out no impracticable dream of total disarmament. Not until the
human heart changes,' and we may dispense with laws, jails, and police within nations, may
we contemplate total disarmament as a practical possibility. But the proposed plan affords
a just and practical basis for a reduction of armies and navies to the minimum necessary
for efficient police power within each nation, and efficient police power of the combined
nations in maintaining international peace. The new doctrine will be that armies and navies are
for police power only, to maintain accepted law, and not for that barbarous and beast-like
duelling between nations which we call war — a method which never determines right or
wrong, but only who is strongest.
Much more could be said, but I forbear. I write this much, however, under the pro-
found conviction that the whole world now looks to the free peoples of the Western
Hemisphere for some illuminating suggestion. If we, with our high ideals and comparative
freedom from many of the problems of Europe, are unwilling to curb our national wills
and ambitions within some such limits of international law and legal procedure as here
proposed, how can we hope that other nations of the earth will consent to do so?
It will be noticed that the plan here outlined begins with diplo-
matic machinery already in operation, or about to be installed. First
of all, we have the peace-and-arbitration treaties recently negotiated
with the principal American republics and with many of the powers of
Europe, and even of Asia, including the four largest empires of the
world, Great Britain, Russia, France, and China; If the writer has
shown that such treaties afford an actually-existing basis for a still
closer "association of the nations" of this hemisphere, so do such treat-
ies, already negotiated with the great empires just mentioned and with
[425]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
other powers of Europe, afford an actually-existing basis, or point of
departure, for the "universal association of the nations," suggested by
President Wilson.
The program proposed by the League to Enforce Peace, on the
other hand, is hopelessly incompetent to serve the great cause which
the League has espoused. We ourselves so strongly support the ob-
jects sought by the League, by The Journal of American History ad-
vocated again and again, and so completely sympathize with the en-
thusiasm and energy which the League has organized behind its move-
ment, that we greatly regret the necessity of criticizing the principles
of international action which it proposes. But the issue is vital ; and
the four brief articles which the League propounds as a remedy for
war constitute a sieve through which any war the world has ever seen
might easily run its course. The first article is as follows :
All justiciable questions arising between the signatory powers, not settled by nego-
tiation, shall, subject to the limitations of treaties, be submitted to a judicial tribunal for
hearing and judgment, both upon the merits and upon any issue as to its jurisdiction of
the question.
All hope of ending war here absolutely disappears at once in the
half-hearted provision to try only "justiciable questions," thus admit-
ting that there are "non-justiciable questions" which lawfully may be
ultimately resigned to the barbarous and insane arbitrament of war.
Thus to concede that any possible question, which can provoke war,
may nevertheless remain a non-justiciable question, is to invest the
wickedness of duelling wars with an acknowledged judicial character
— a thing against which Charles Sumner unanswerably thundered.
Moreover, as the questions thus left to be decided in the court of war
are precisely the most delicate and vital which arise between nations,
this plan proposes to refer our least-important questions to a court of
law and reason and our most vital issues to mob decision by unreason-
ing wars !
By divine and natural equity war, as necessary force, may as po-
liceman and jailer serve the mandates of law and keep the peace of
courts. But to concede the existence of any conceivable issue which
human judgment, reasoning in natural law and universal equity, is less
competent to decide righteously than blind, passionate, murdering war,
is to surrender the destinies of the human race to a horrible and damn-
ing superstition. On what issue under heaven may human reason and
conscience abdicate their throne under the hypocritical plea that whole-
sale manslaughter may work out a better justice? War, directed by
[426]
THE WORLD S NEED OF INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT
justice, may do police duty in righteousness ; but the pretense that war
can sit in the seat of judgment is the scandal of the ages.
The fiction of the existence of non-justiciable questions is an age-
hoary hypocrisy of human governments. Hypocritical nations re-
serve, as beyond judicial process, questions affecting their "honor,
existence, and vital interests," each power remaining its own sole
judge concerning what questions come under these categories. As a
result, non-justiciable questions are invariably those which cause all
wars. For what Ahab among the powers ever slew a Naboth and
seized his vineyard without pleading that his "honor," the necessities
of "existence," or his "vital interests," forced the very regrettable af-
fair upon him?
A similar debauchery of human conscience long held sway
between man and man in the legal arrangement for assassination by
means of duels — a devil's device not even yet thoroughly outlawed in
some lands that fancy themselves civilized. Thus with all breaches
between men apparently referred to the jurisdiction of Civil and Crim-
inal Courts, under the code of the duel a man might, nevertheless, make
the smallest slight a non-justiciable question by pleading an affront to
his "honor," thus opening the most trivial door to the worst of crimes
—murder. And, of course, not men of tender conscience, but the
unscrupulous, took advantage of the duel to commit legal manslaugh-
ter. This door thus opened to the criminally-minded. Yet how long
the world sanctified murder under this legal sham ! What men were
sacrificed ! Almost in our own day thus fell Hamilton ; while even, a
President, like Jackson, found the duel a useful invention for killing
one's foes.
A League to Enforce Peace, which allows any question which
may breed war between nations nevertheless to be regarded as non-
justiciable, and thus left to breed war, will simply legalize the war-duel
among nations under a false code of "honor." The result will be pre-
cisely that yielded by duelling between men, multiplied by whole na-
tionalities. The nations will remain Cains. As in the duel, the black-
guard will flourish, and the gentleman will go to the wall. Achieving
every conceivable dark and selfish end, in the name of "honor," "vital
interest," "self-defense," and other hypocrisies, the big bullies will
continue to blackjack and rob the weak.
The second and third articles of the League to Enforce Peace,
giving its only provisions "to meet non-justiciable controversies," to
quote the phrase of Dr. Lowell, are as follows:
All other questions arising between the signatories and not settled by negotiations,
[427]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
shaH be submitted to a Council of Conciliation for hearing, consideration, and recommenda-
tion.
The signatory powers shall jointly use forthwith both their economic and military
forces against any one of their number that goes to war, or commits acts of hostility,
against another of the signatories before any question arising shall be submitted as pro-
vided in the foregoing.
This is all. Thus a League of Nations, operating on these princi-
ples, will plunge into war to punish a nation for breaking out over a
non-justiciable question suddenly, in a heat of national passion, such
as nations as well as individuals are subject to, although such a sudden
outburst of passion is most of all excusable, being analogous to murder
in the second or third degree ; while a crafty nation, submitting to the
formality of the prescribed negotiations, yet afterwards deliberately
declaring war, having meantime prepared, the League will not disturb,
although the policy of such a nation would be analogous to murder in
the first degree, "premeditated, with malice aforethought."
Thus are these provisions as devoid of foundation in natural
equity as they are impotent and inexpedient as measures to check war
and aggression. To show that the League has nothing more to offer
we add its fourth and last article :
Conferences between the signatory powers shall be held from time to time to formulate
and codify rules of international law, which, unless some signatory shall signify its dis-
sent within a stated period, shall thereafter govern in the decisions of the judicial tribunal
mentioned in Article I.
Why spin such cobwebs to curb the great powers of the earth ? If
we are after all to trust only a "gentlemen's agreement," why not leave
things as they are ? Let the reader go back to the words of Sir Edward
Grey, which we have quoted, and judge whether this non-justiciable
sieve of the League to Enforce Peace is such a remedy against war as
the great Englishman suggests.
Lord Haldane, in a recent interview endorsing the general princi-
ples expressed by Sir Edward Grey and President Wilson, directly
stated than any League to Enforce Peace would fail to serve its pur-
pose if so-called "non-justiciable questions" were left with their door
held open to war. This fatal defect, we believe, was avoided by Mr.
Elihu Root in his proposals as Secretary of State for a Hague Court
with international jurisdiction. The League to Enforce Peace must
reform completely this part of its program, or its achievements will
necessarily be merely educational and not practicable.
While President Wilson carefully avoided all discussion of the
program of the League, and disclaimed any attempt "to discuss a pro-
gram" of his own, the principles laid down in his address really go to
[428]
THE WORLD S NEED OF INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT
the root of the matter. He touches its heart in the words : "It is clear
that nations must in the future be governed by the same high code of
honor that we demand of individuals." And he sees the means in "a
universal association of the nations," a "great consummation, when
some common force will be brought into existence which shall safe-
guard right as the first and most fundamental interest of all peoples
and all Governments, when coercion shall be summoned not to the
service of political ambition or selfish hostility, but to the service of a
common order, a common justice, and a common peace."
IV
If the allowance of "non-justiciable" questions would be a fatal
defect in any plan to substitute an international judiciary for war, con-
finement of the League and Court to a limited number or class of na-
tions would be no less disastrous. An interesting proposal of this kind
has recently been made in an able volume, "The Restoration of Eu-
rope," by Dr. Alfred H. Fried of Austria, winner of the Nobel Peace
Priz-e in 1911. Referring to the danger of the opposing ambitions
and rivalries of alliances of European nations, he says :
Alliances cannot be ended by a simple decree. It is of no use to forbid them. Even
after the war there will be no power strong enough to carry out such a decree. Even
within the nations it will be difficult to combat the evil, for only a very powerful State
would undertake a parliamentary decree to enter no alliances. The others will refrain
from alliances only when to do so has become the general rule; and that will happen only
when the method of common action in the work of restoration is so far developed that the
nations find in it a real substitute for the poor system of individual alliances. That is
not so difficult as it seems. It is only a matter of a second step following the first. The
Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente would be replaced by a European alliance.
There is nothing real to prevent the substitution of a European alliance for the separate
alliances of today. The fact that a general European alliance need not be political at all,
indeed, would have no reason to be so, makes such a step easier. If all the nations should
unite there would be no occasion to direct their energies against any other State — unless
it be an extra-European constellation. The political aspect would cease to exist, and with
it our greatest obstacle would be overcome. A general European alliance would not have
the menacing character of the alliances of the past, and would be far more helpful in
economic and social life. Such an agreement would doubtless have its effect upon the
political life of the participating States and secure more real protection than the present-
day so-called "protective" alliances possibly could. It would also create an atmosphere in
which the institutions of The Hague could develop into that which they were intended to
be- The Hague Conferences would finally be vivified, and, supported by the will of the
organized world, would become effective.
It will be remarked that, from the standpoint of the nations of the
Western Hemisphere, one sentence of Dr. Fried is ominous: "If all
the [European] nations should unite there would be no occasion to
direct their energies against another State — unless it be an extra-Eu-
ropean constellation." Nor is it reassuring to know that our Pan-
American Union is the very "constellation" which Dr. Fried has in
[429]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
mind. The Pan-American Union is his model for the proposed Eu-
ropean Union, and he urges expressly Old World coalition in order that
"a united Europe may meet that united continent across the ocean."
Thus of Pan-American co-operation he writes:
Years of peaceful co-operation between nations and their representatives strengthen
confidence, engender a habit of mind which does not presuppose hostile intentions in one's
neighbors, and in critical issues reinforces the determination to let rational considerations
decide. Arbitration and mediation have reached their highest developments on the American
continents. The peaceful co-operative union expedites peaceful settlement of such dis-
putes as inevitably arise.
Before the war there was much talk of the American menace, by which was meant
economic competition. It exists, but in a different form. A continent so organized will
only too easily win precedence over divided Europe. If that disorganization which has
led to war should continue after the war, the danger of the associated States of Pan
America outstripping Europe will be far greater. The war has changed the relative posi-
tion of Europe and America, and not to the advantage of Europe. Europe will lag behind
America because of its disorganization, and also because of its exhaustion. Hence a co-
operative union must be formed, that a united Europe may meet that united continent
across the ocean — not for attack, but to make further co-operation possible.
The peril to world-peace of a Union of Europe arrayed against a
Union of America was very definitely in the writer's mind when writ-
ing to the Pan-American delegates more than a year ago ; and the pro-
posal made was to inaugurate in the Western Hemisphere an interna-
tional system suited to the whole world, which all nations might join,
"instead of leaving us in separated groups which might at any time
clash." Thus we wrote:
As you know, it has been widely urged that following the present waf in Europe a
confederation of the European Powers, a kind of United States of Europe, should be
formed. As a proposal in the interest of international peace, such a project must enlist
our sympathies. Yet I call your attention to the fact that such a European combination,
should it be effected with the best of motives, would instantly be recognized by us, human
nature being what it is, as a new menace to all the peoples of the New World.
I mention this possibility simply to emphasize the fact that a world-crisis has arisen
which should incite the peoples of the Western Hemisphere, now at peace, to a strenuous
effort to discover and put into operation some practical international solution around which
all the law-abiding nations of the earth might unite, instead of leaving us in separated
groups which might at any time clash.
Race questions have embroiled Europe in the most terrible war in the world's history.
Race issues between the East and West already exist. A race struggle for the domination
of Africa is one of the clearly discernible probabilities of the near future.
In the Republics of the Western Hemisphere, on the other hand, a remarkable process
of race amalgamation has been going on, demonstrating to the whole world that, within
national bounds, and under free institutions, there is no just reason why differences of
birth should prevent the happy progress of the human family. One problem remains,
toward whose solution you, gentlemen, have just been making a most valuable contribution,
to-wit : can our American Republics, Latin-American and Anglo-Saxon, demonstrate to
the world that, as race differences may be blended in a common civilization within a nation,
so may they also be blended in a perfect co-operation between nations that shall enthrone
international law and peace over international self-will and war?
The threat to peace of a Pan-Europe in the same world with a
Pan-America must be manifest to every thinking American. Should
[430]
THE WORLD S NEED OF INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT
such an alignment come, which God forefend, how long will it be
before the obnoxious Monroe Doctrine, long an irritating thorn in the
side of European ambition, will be involved in a life-and-death strug-
gle more fearful perhaps even than the present war in Europe ?
But if separate European and American Unions would prophesy
war, and not peace ; so would an alignment of the United States with
one of the coalitions in the present European struggle. This has been
suggested, vaguely or definitely, on both sides. A post-war co-opera-
tion between the Teutonic Empires and the United States is predicated
upon their common interest in the doctrine of the freedom of the seas.
But not many who are conversant with public sentiment in America
will think such an alignment even remotely possible. The one contin-
gency out of which it might arise, however, would be the rashness of
the present Allies in carrying out the ominous scheme of an economic
war following peace, in which they might attempt to boycott America
for trading with the Central Empires. Wicked politics breed strange
combinations.
On the other hand, a League of the Allies and the United States
to Enforce Peace after the war, based upon a supposed common inter-
est in democratic institutions, has been seriously proposed by Ameri-
cans. The World's Work for July, 1916, has an interesting editorial
article on this subject, in which it says :
Mr. Theodore Marburg, before the League to Enforce Peace, proposed that the United
States should join with those other nations which look upon civilization as we do, so that
no matter what combinations should arise among the autocratic nations after this war a
vigilance committee of democracies would be organized to keep the peace.
The World's Work also cites, as if for serious consideration, the
following far-fetched and ridiculous suggestion by the New Republic :
One truth sticks out violently in this crisis with Germany. If we break off diplomatic
relations, we have made an enemy of a great Power. Once we force Germany to yield, we
have taken from her a darling and perhaps an indispensable weapon. Should Germany
lose the war, or merely deadlock it, as surely as the sun rises in the east we shall have to
bear the odium. When the rulers of Germany start to explain they will say that our friend-
liness to the Allies, our shipment of munitions, and our stand on the submarine question
turned the scale against Germany. Whatever the outcome we shall have made Germany
bitter. If we have made an enemy, we must make a friend. This crisis has revealed to
every thinking man the peril of isolation. We have ranged ourselves, unconsciously it
would seem, on the side of Western sea power. Having made that bed we dare not
refuse to lie in it. We have taken sides in the war, and if American diplomacy has any
vision it will understand that its first duty is to turn the danger we have incurred from
Germany into a constructive understanding with France and the British Empire.
In our diplomatic relations with Germany we have done no more
than to stand conservatively upon the ground of our neutral rights
under existing international law. To make the passing irritation from
[431]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
our just course a scare-crow to frighten us into an unrighteous alliance
is worthy of a school-boy. Not on any such ridiculous grounds will
America fly into one of those truly "entangling" alliances against
which Washington warned us.
Not much better is Mr. Marburg's suggestion. Let us be honest
with ourselves. When have the "European democracies," of which
the World's Work speaks, developed such zeal for the liberties of other
peoples that they should now with us assume the exalted responsibility
of a world's "vigilance committee of democracies?" Though we are
of course unconscious of it, such suggestions are about ninety-nine per
cent, humbug. Let some of these noble "democracies" bring forth a
few "works meet for repentance" before we venture upon such pious
phariseeism. A few years ago Great Britain destroyed two republics
in South Africa. Some years before that France imposed an Emperor
upon our sister-republic, Mexico. The Monroe Doctrine was our own
device to safeguard republican liberties on this continent, and its exist-
ence is not an evidence that we considered "European democracies" as
our fitting allies in this task.
Nor has it ever been our national ideal to impose republican or
democratic institutions upon reluctant peoples. We hold simply that
government, any government, derives its just powers from the consent
of the governed ; and our sympathy is simply with the rights of peoples
to maintain the forms of government they prefer. Democracy would
play a sorry part, rushing through the world in the spirit of Mahomet
with the fierce cry, "Democracy or the sword!" The blood-thirsty
fanatics of the French Revolution gave the world all of this that it
cares to see.
V.
But we can unite with the existing governments of the world ; not
to quarrel with their forms and methods ; not to remodel their constitu-
tions, save only as the force of moral example accomplishes its gradual
but efficacious work; nor yet to meddle with their internal affairs, ex-
cept in cases of volcanic eruption threatening the welfare of the world
at large; but to co-operate in reducing to law and order that great
realm of rights and differences out of which serious questions and
blighting wars arise between nations. For such co-operation no na-
tion need alter its own house (however advisable in itself) ; it need
only agree to keep its hand off its neighbor's house, unless in discharge
of some police-duty authorized by all the nations. The practicability
[432]
THE WORLD S NEED OF INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT
of such co-operation is apparent to men like Sir Edward Grey, Lord
Haldane, and President Wilson.
We can appreciate the benefit to our own Country. We find that
we cannot to-day remain unaffected by the world's troubles ; while the
new methods of warfare, revealing the necessity for immense capital
and years of military preparation, have awakened us out of our leth-
argy. If we cannot pool our police-power with that of others in an
armament-reducing League of Nations, we have no prudent alternative
but to tax our resources heavily and permanently to provide armament
as insurance against unexpected attack and defeat by grasping mili-
tary powers. Which course shall we follow? Thoughtful men have
little doubt which is preferable. Says the New York Times, speaking
editorially of President Wilson's suggestion :
Pacifists and militarists, big army men and little army men, peace leaguers and security
leaguers, can accept it, laud and embrace it. The plan is not new. It is the world police
plan stated in the President's words. It has been advocated by the two living ex-Presi-
dents. Nobody but an avowed advocate of blood and carnage could oppose it, save on the
grounds of impracticability.
The war has disclosed a great moral necessity and has "set forward the thinking of the
statesmen by a whole age." So says Mr. Wilson. The address he delivered bears high
testimony to that advance in thought.
That Washington's "great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations" that
we should "have with them as little political connection as possible" is in no wise applica-
ble to a league of the nations for the purpose of insuring peace appears from the very
words of the Farewell Address. "Why," said he, "by interweaving our destiny with that of
any part of Europe entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rival-
ship, interest, humor or caprice?" It requires no argument to show that by entering a
universal association of the nations for peace we should not become a party to the ambi-
tions, the rivalship, the interest, the humor, or the caprice of the European Powers. But
the irrelevancy of Washington's counsel to the question of joining a world-wide effort to
insure peace appears most clearly from a comparison of our actual experience during the
present war with the picture of national remoteness and security drawn by the Father of
his Country:
"If we remain one people, under an efficient Government, the period is not far off
when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an
attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously
respected ; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisition upon us,
will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation ; when we may choose peace or war, as
our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel."
The first President of the Republic spoke under the prompting of a fond hope. The
President of to-day speaks with actual experience of distressing conditions.
Very happily the present Congress, in providing appropriations
for armament unparalleled in this Country in times of peace, declares
our measures of preparedness to be in the interest of universal peace
and disarmament following the European War. The statement to this
effect unanimously adopted by the House Committee on Navy Affairs
as a part of the Navy Appropriation bill, reads :
Upon conclusion of the war in Europe, or as soon thereafter as it may be done, the
President of the United States is authorized to invite all great Governments of the world
[433]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
to send representatives to a conference, which shall be charged with the duty of suggest-
ing an organization, court of arbitration, or other body, to which disputed questions between
nations shall be referred for adjudication and peaceful settlement, and to consider the
question of disarmament and submit their recommendations to their respective Govern-
ments for approval; that the President is hereby authorized to appoint nine citizens of
the United States, who shall be qualified for the mission by eminence in the law and by
devotion to the cause of peace, to be representatives of the United States in such con-
ference ; that the President shall fix the compensation of the said representatives, and
such other employes as may be needed are hereby authorized, and $200,000, or so much
thereof as may be needed, is hereby appropriated for that purpose and placed at his dis-
posal.
That the spirit of this resolution is understood and appreciated in
some quarters abroad we learn from a striking two-column editorial in
the London Daily News from the pen of its editor, Mr. Alfred G.
Gardiner, in which he says :
The underlying watchword of the preparedness issue which is sweeping the United
States is the idea that the power of America should be used to deliver humanity from the
toils in which it has been enmeshed by the past ; that it should be the weapon of a new
dispensation, and that the affairs of men shall henceforth be subject to the arbitrament,
not of force, but of justice.
The sword which America is forging will be used not to make war, but to make war
on war and to lay the foundation of world security. It means that America will be the
saviour of Europe.
On President Wilson's address before the League to Enforce
Peace, the same newspaper commented as follows :
President Wilson has never delivered a speech more pregnant of possibilities. Noth-
ing is as clear as that on fundamental issues, which go far beyond the settlement that will
terminate the present war, President Wilson and Sir Edward Grey are at one. His speech
contains an element of challenge that brings Utopia in relation with the actual. His ideals
will be unhesitatingly indorsed by the Entente Powers. It is not easy to see how they
can be repudiated by the Teutonic Powers. His proposals are not designed to end this
war, but they are rich in the hope for averting many threatened wars in the future.
An editorial in the New York World, however, suggests very
reasonably that President Wilson's proposal may open the way for an
earlier peace in Europe than would otherwise be probable. Both sides
demand a war-decision which shall absolutely guarantee permanent
peace hereafter; but each thinks it can trust no guarantee except the
complete crippling and exhaustion of its foes. As the World says :
These states of mind constitute the great and most powerful of the imponderables
of the war. They can be removed only by years of fighting that will lead to complete ex-
haustion, or by the injection of some new force or idea that will produce the absolute con-
viction of security in the minds of the peoples of the warring nations. It is possible that
the United States might be that new force that will bring that sense of security without
which this war may continue for many years. The President's speech has made vivid the
idea of a union of the United States with the nations of Europe for the purpose of assuring
peace with justice and security.
In this spirit the London Economist declares that "city assuredly
will welcome the powerful aid of President Wilson, toward the goal of
permanent and honorable peace," and concludes as follows :
[434]
THE WORLD S NEED OF INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT
1. It is more desirable to save France, Belgium and Serbia than to. ruin Germany and
Austria.
2. Whenever the peace comes, it is as certain as anything human can be that it will
be followed by bankruptcies, unemployment, misery and discontent of all kinds. And in
Germany all this wretchedness will be especially acute. It would be strange indeed if
under these circumstances a vast moral and political revolution did not follow, during
which the military caste (and, let us hope, the yellow press) will be swept away.
3. The only people who can punish those responsible for the war are their own people.
It is not fair to the British or to the French armies to continue a struggle which costs
so many thousands of lives daily in the hope — probably a vain one— ^of being able to arrange
terms under which the great criminals shall be executed or guillotined.
We all know what the Russian and Italian governments want. We think we know
what France wants, and we certainly know what Belgium wants. If all the territorial demands
of our allies could be satisfied tomorrow, and some arrangement could be made about the
colonies, we should have peace, and we should hear no more about the punishment of
those responsible for the war.
However long this war last, however many millions of homes are still to be devastated,
however widely famine and pestilence may rage, however many more billions of debt are
accumulated for redemption or repudiation, the war will still haye to be ended by nego-
tiation, by a series of bargains and compromises, which will satisfy none of the orators
of war, but will, we hope, with President Wilson, serve as a charter of liberty, law and
peace to all the nations of Europe for many generations.
Thus now at the door of America there loudly knocks an amazing
opportunity for world-service which we as early as October 10, 1914,
foretold in a communication to the New York Evening Post, from
which we quote the following :
How can our peace treaties be made the basis for a complete system for judicial set-
tlement of international disputes? By making them mutually operative between all the
signatory nations, by erecting a final court of appeals, and placing behind the decisions
of this court the combined police power — the armies and navies — of all the co-operating
nations. This can be firmly established as the immediate outcome of the present war if
the republics of North, South, and Central America will agree upon the simple machinery
necessary and put it in operation for the Western Hemisphere. When we prove the method
practical other nations will join.
The present war shows that human conscience has taken an immense step in this
direction. The aggressive Powers cut diplomacy short by a swift appeal to the duel of the
battlefield. Yet, instinctively feeling that success or failure at arms would not decide the
question of right or wrong for the world, there was at once a most astonishing appeal by
documents and statements to the court of the world's conscience. Why not have made
this appeal first, and so have avoided the other?
Although the decisions of the final court would constitute inviolable law while they
stand, they should not be deemed infallible. Provision should be made for possible appeal
back to the final court of appeals at the recurrence of fixed terms of years, so that the
court might reverse itself in any new light. When righteousness thus finds itself never
shut off from the right to continue to educate and appeal to the conscience of mankind, the
sole justification for war will disappear from the face of the earth.
Only by co-operation will nations become chivalrous, teaching themselves and enforc-
ing upon one another the truth that the possession of power is tolerable in the sight of
human conscience only when it places the protection of the weak above its own ambition.
The moral basis of co-operation throughout the Western Hemisphere resides in the state-
ment of President Wilson that the United States covet and seek no further territory any-
where in the world, but desire the maintenance, in peace, of present conditions.
This would preserve the American republics alike from war between themselves and
aggression from without ; for our combined police power would prohibit any other nation
from prosecuting a cause against any one by any other method than that of law procedure
through the courts. We would welcome any nation to share our advantages by appoint-
ment of a commission with each participating nation and nomination of a judge to the
final court of appeals.
[435]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
We can render the world an immortal service by arraying the free peoples of the
Western Hemisphere in solid phalanx behind a law of nations and an international gov-
ernment.
Our greatest immediate danger as Americans is incredulity. In
the sloth and content of peace and prosperity it is difficult for us to
believe that the world so soon is ready to try an unprecedented experi-
ment of international government. But the warring powers face com-
plete financial exhaustion and bankruptcy. Unheard-of revenues
must be raised by unparalleled taxation to keep up after the war even
the interest-payments on the billions borrowed and squandered in de-
struction. Can the exhausted exchequers of Europe meet such pay-
ments, and at the same time provide staggering outlays for a renewed
competition in national armaments fiercer than before? The very
thought is heart-breaking. It is impossible to contemplate such a situ-
ation. Europe must find some way to purge herself of her huge armies
and navies — or else fall back a hopelessly impoverished wreck.
Statesmen see this with staring eyes ; and when they make the
sign, its truth will swiftly overwhelm the people. Any feasible league
for peace, to lift the gigantic burdens of armament, will be grasped at
as a mercy from God — as indeed it will be, if vouchsafed.
The British Empire is by far the richest of the suffering powers.
If Englishmen cannot stand the coming pressure, what people can
stand it? Yet it is British statesmen, a race farsighted in things
economic, who desperately look to America for a Moses to lead a uni-
versal exodus out of our house of military bondage.
The hour is at hand. Shall we Americans rise to this glorious
issue? Have we wisdom to understand the times, spiritual vision to
invoke our highest ideals, and the noble courage to marshal them
toward a great achievement?
A sound comes over the sea — a wail, a prayer, and not a challenge.
It is the cry of a sorrow with death in every home, and in its hands a
curse and plague of war it knows not how to let go or cast from it. And
to us, who have fed and nursed their fallen, the warring nations look
to somehow save them from themselves.
God help us if, clothed in the mercies He has placed around us,
we do not rise up out of all selfishnesses to be about this work ! God sel-
dom calls a nation to be the savior of a generation. Woe to it, if it be
not ready!

HE VERSE which follows was written in November,
1915, with revision since. It seeks to avoid partisan
judgment of the great struggle in Europe, although
the conviction of a general guilt, so strongly expressed,
may seem extreme to all partisans alike. The imme-
diate responsibility for the present war, fixed by
facts and documents accessible to the whole world, is recognized; but
not apart from the more remote responsibility in the immemorial
selfishness and injustice from which all nations, alas, have taken stain.
Believing, as the fathers of our land believed, that the Hand of
Heaven moves in the affairs of men, I am persuaded that we cannot
with impunity neglect this war's prophetic call to national and interna-
tional humiliation and repentance. Ninevah repented, and found mercy.
Why may not we? And if greater woes are not to follow, we must
earnestly seek wisdom to end the age-long anarchy of warring powers,
by instituting just and powerful international government — law, ju-
diciary, and police power.
"Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together
as one man .... unto the Lord in Mispeh ......
"And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What
wickedness is this that is done among you?.... But the children of Benjamin would not
hearken to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel; but the children of Benjamin
gathered themselves together. .. .unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the childrea of
Israel ----
"And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel
of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to battle against the children of Benjamin?
And the Lord said, Judah shall go up first. . . .And the children of Benjamin came forth out
of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two
thousand men.
"And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set their battle again
in array, in the place where they put themselves in array the first day. And the children of
Israel went up and wept before the Lord until even, and asked counsel of the Lord, saying,
Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin, my brother? And the Lord
said, Go up against him.... And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the sec-
ond day and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand
men. . . .

burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. And the children of Israel enquired
of the Lord, .... saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin,
my brother, or shall I cease? And the Lord said, Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them
into thine hand.... And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel." (Judges 20: I, 12-14, 18,
21-23, 25-27, 35.)
A grievous voice of wailing in the earth
Like Ramah's, Rachel weeping for her children,
And would not be comforted because they were not !
This side the grave what surgeon's kit can sew
The gap death's shrapnel lacerates through love?
Lo, canny buying, unctuous selling, greed's
Trade-crafty calculation, lucre-eyed
Acquisitive speculation, swift deploy
Their scouts upon the storm-cloud, gear the blast,
And drive the bitted whirlwind, leagued with death
And pelting blood-sleet, merchandizing life
And dicing for the world with iron throw.
Our swords have sinned ; alas, all Israel bleeds
Under the violence of Benjamin !
The wounded towns gasp stupified. A sob,
Strangled among its birth-throes, chokes the heart
Of buoyant, supple Paris, thrilled with woe,
Arms crooked through crowds of cripples, her lean hands
Scraping the trembling mold of constant graves.
Lone gates and walls slope sadly ; street and street
Slant sombre and aghast and mute with pain,
Save where the doleful shuffle of lorn feet
Of white-faced black-robed widows, and the tap
Of melancholy crutches, sting the stones.
Now pants she, stumbling up the house of God
Through old forgotten windings, willing grief
Should catechize the searchings of the heart
To plumb self's errors by another's sin?
Or out of wrongings, wronged, a damning vail
Deceptively spun round a twisted soul,
That tips her mirror slanted not to see
Her likeness in the guilt that strikes at her,

Doth self-assurance, pagan-pied, pride-steeped
Self-righteously in sorrow, her stout guns
And resolution, unabashed toward God,
Unransomed by self -judgment, trust to blast
Through anguish new curst ways to selfish ends ?
Spotted out skirts that ask thee, stricken France,
Whose democratic banner flings far out
Over thy hero-deeds a white appeal,
If brutal kultur's rage to hang thy neck
In yokes of bondage no compunction jars
Among the memories of ambitious years
That built thy smothering empire over rights
Of weaker breeds of brethren, but withheld
The dower of a citizen of France?
So through thy winged dominions hast thou used
Thy freedom to plant freedom that the wrong
To Gaul from Teuton challenges God's throne
Without complexion of such justice in it
As retribution metes to unjust measure?
The cruel axe that bleeds thee swings to crime: —
No guilt rebuking, leaps its edge to carve thee
A crown of glory of pure martyrdom ?
If clean thou art, call heaven witness to it;
If stained, wring mercy out of penitence!
How shrinks the world-mart, all the gold laid low,
The money-changers huckstering with death !
Her old gray yellow-splashen cloak put off
For dust and ashes and a sackcloth black,
Sweeping with wearily-expectant eyes
To mark new wounds, as dawn's ship-glasses hunt
The verge for foes, the Carthage of the Thames
Limps doubtful-hearted into toil at morn,
And shudders into lampless sleep at night,
Or, shawled in midnight, by unnumbered cots
Broods over shattered features, hiding grief
For the marred visages that are no more.
With quills of pallid shame the war-mad maids,
Their young men urge on death, that these also

A sodden sleep with French and Turkish worms,
Or slide the steep Atlantic's cushioned plane
Past startled fishes to an oozy bed.

A bond from heaven to over-lord the world,
Caught even a vision of her need to pass
From stiff uncrooking knees of stubborn ways
In fear and trembling to the mount of God
To pour confession on repressured sin
And wrestle for a mercy undeserved ?
Land of the white man's sceptre, is this too

Tutored to rule the dusky tribes, must teach

Forging all Europe slave, yet finds no fault,
No scruple in the clutch, whose knuckles lock
Rivets through half the tawny earth beside ?

God help us if we feel not for thee, met
With violence that shocks the subtler Briton!
But God help more lest we absorb the creed
That Caesar's heel is vicious in a king,
All-glorious in an oligarchy; right
In Rome republican, and Carthage grim,
And democratic Greece, to subjugate,
Imposing power that holds her freedoms back !
Blow on it, heaven ! and let not us, O God,
Submerge our birthright in the white man's burden !
Who would be greatest, let him be man's servant !
Tremble, old lion of the island seas,
And gash with every ruthless tooth and claw !

Hold riches raped from Holland, Spain, and France

A strip of greedy scarlet, undismayed
Where judgment's Gothic axe the ancient curse
Shame-crumbled — where humilating weight
Of disciplining centuries rebuke
This dwarfed degenerate's ardor to renew
The antique cruel pagan.
A tear
Weep, gray Rome,

With graves engirdled mourning Moscow kneels,
Unfathomable patience, by the beds
Of wistful anguish stolid as despair,
Pain's mother-eyes in painful children-mirrors
Poured, tender, unrelenting, resolute,
Are thrown, deep menace in an aching gleam,
A troubled searchlight toward the trenched west
Where, hoofed and tusked by uncouth friend and foe,
The Cossack centaur and the Prussian boar,
The shrinking flesh of ravished Poland lies
Under the Hun and Teuton.
God of hope,

Have clanked the galling irons of the soul,
Russian and Jew, thrust headlong into hell,

Makes conscience hate her honesty that knows thee
And persecute her courage that owns kin !

Where creeping darkness out of land and sea
Steals noiseless up, while, falling through the west,
A disappearing crescent, bathed in blood,
Bidding farewell to mosque and minaret,
Hears the last bell to Allah, and sinks down

Relentless as the Everlasting Judge.

And sow the teeth of dragons, hast thou learned

Destroyed the people and devoured the land?

Of envious greed's blind cubs who lust to war
That makes man's heart a mourner's bench, the world
A funeral procession, and God's praise
A requiem for the dead — unwholesome Berlin
Squats doubtful by her work, her sullen soul
With anxious peering flat against the pane
That lets so little light in through her flesh.
No boisterous vaunt now rumbles through the beer,
Breathing the brawn whose bestial hoof should crunch
All Europe in a fortnight. German boys
Give their frail dust to soils they marched to steal,
And sires dig into death beside their sons,
While on the emptied settle, hearth by hearth,
Famine and anguish sit. The city sighs,
"What shall we get by this ? Alas, how long,
How long shall hate endure ? How long shall we
To Moloch cast our children?"

As multitudinous moths assault the flame,
Till crime self-expiates in suicide,
With every German malefactor, boy,
Old man, self -executed on our guns?
We all have sinned, and, judging, damn ourselves;
Yet pray for armored mercy, victory-plumed :
The valiant impact of angelic mace,
Like sun on mists of mountains, breaching pride,
And hope a blood-way hewing through the plague
Whose death-damp curls around us. Canst Thou coax
Repentance out of murder at the kill ?
Or draw out guilt's confession, sinning? Wring
His grief out who unsheathed this war, or else
Expunge the royal bully from the throne,
And mimic bullies out of aping halls
That tramp upon the peoples and insult
Manhood and womanhood with poltroon swords!
Enthrone Thine anger on all reckless blades,
And let not lawlessness retain one prize.
The Prussian bloodhound's jowl, that erstwhile tore
At Poland, Denmark, Austria, and France,
And, rampant madness in the earth, infests
Four crowns with rabies, all mankind would gnash,
Drive hydrophobic, and a howling wild
Stark canine make the habitable world —
Rebuke with indignation, muzzle, cow,
And back to kennel thrust on limping shank!
Pardon our jagged wrath, the foolish word:
Self-judgment's stranger, shall our frailty know,
Standing between the living and the dead,
How to be angry and yet sin not ? Lord,
Inspire a prayer that will Thy power persuade
To hang Thy hook in ruthless Prussia's jaw,
To torment bind her spirit, her self-will
Give mocking spectres of the peace she slew,
Hate churning in the pit she digged until
Comes love's soul broken into righteousness !

The ravening tooth that once starved Paris cries
For black-bread; the blood-letting wolf that stole
From Holstein to the Russ, her red strength wan,
Licks bony graybeard and thin riffraff up
To feed the bellies of constricting guns
Coiled hissing, forked tongues preened to sting her heart.
Hast Thou her craze a lying spirit sent
With guilty prophseyings luring on
Till anguish loan her all his purse to pay,
To wrath's last interest mark, her old crimes' debt? —
To struggle, deaf and blind, till hope's last thew
With wrench to uttermost exhaustion cracks,
The wrecked Teutonic body quivering through
Nervous prostration into race-collapse,
Like the stout buttress of a bridge that strains
Until an ounce betray it, full of freight,
Or as a giant torso's awful steps,
After the head drops gory, totter still,
The supernatural horror pitching down
Into mortality surpassing death ?
What consummation supplicate we, Lord,
With pride toward pride and heart of hate to hate?
If Thou shouldst sell him to our hands would we
Humble our brother to the bitter dust?
Though Benjamin dig our pit, yet have we all
Not sold our brother, Joseph ? Shall our wrath,
Mercy-bejeweled, set in mercy more
Of judgment given us, no mercy use,
But braze Thy help to fall on Benjamin
With faces pitiless as his toward us ?
Alas, O Lord, the thieves of yesterday
Strangle to-day's thief at the first picked lock.
Our deeds are pharisees, and, lo, their ghosts,
Reincarnated in the wrongs that scourge us,
Pay guilt's instruction back with usury.
How crookedly recrimination slides
Out of a covert of a guileful lip !
[450]
THE CITIES
With what a soiled and tangled haste our sin
Assaults the mimicry of his offense!
Lord, bid propitiating mercy swing
A cloudy censer over us that go
To champion justice, dragging blades unclean,
Grim-mottled edges, blurred with unpurged crimes
And nicked with piracy's blood-gotten gains
That we but war to have and hold who smite
The latest outlaw from our stolen fields.
What tribe shall captain judgment? How unfit
Our cleanest righteousness to wield rebuke !
Yet must we go as lictors, or worse thieves, —
For he that hell waked cannot purge him of it,
Nor from his damned fingers loose the murder
Outstetched, to kill or be killed, past his bounds.
His fall or our fall batters at the door :
As judged and judges Judgment shuts us in!
Our brother's blood cries : swords must go ! O let
Thy mercy tabernacle round our guilt
Whose crash at lawlessness goes shivering through
His own shade in a mirror ! Blades must go :
Though only on the stroke of twelve fall light,
Let conscience waken somewhile. Brands must go
Though all the crimeful past behind us rise
And bury all her dead before the worlds.
Abased self-judgment bids our shamed steel go —
If Thou a heart abashed and chastened send,
Lest still we fall before our brother, or
From conquest issue more condemned than he.
Sweet Mercy, pity us who sit at ease
At the full table of prosperity
With surfeit out of golden fields and thrift
As bow-and-arrow makers. Lord, have we
No sunny vineyard coveted, no sod
Of Mexico, Colombia, or Spain?
Conscience uneasy stirs, for greatest guilt
Not oftenest sins, but most against the light.

O for a consecrating cherub's touch
Our rusting blade to burnish, weakness' knight,
Its brother's keeper, scoured too bright for spoil,
Or swagger in fat scabbard, padded in
Enlightened selfishness, the devil's sheath !
Mercy to judge bland peace and paunchy pride,
Flattered with unctuous and euphonious names,
That in an isolation, far from care,
With gainful opportunity pass by,
Like priest and Levite, on the other side,
When the whole world is fallen among thieves!
Rolls war no prophet-march through Freedom's soul,
Haunting her sea-shell with the surge of doom ?
Implore we victory to fend our flesh,
Bethrottle murder and its maniac chain ?
And captive spirit shall no zealot free,
Our unbelieving heart's Amalekite
Hewing, as Samuel Agag, before God?
Or shall our house, unaltered, empty, swept,
And garnished, call her unclean demon back
With other seven devils worse than he ?
To German reason shall we sell our schools,
Yet curse his logic in a naked sword ?
O for a seraph-ungent to make whole
Our folly when Germanic mouthings stirred
The fool in us to say, "There is no God !"
If beasts are we, from beasts, and there's no Throne,
Nor law in heaven's likeness stamped in hearts,
Nor Voice instructing sacrifice to serve,
But for existence madmen struggle, brutes
Whose least of ruth is fittest to survive,
Why should not violence rape what he will,
And strength waylay the weak, as lions lambs?
Impreach, black violence, our dark of sin,
Till out of woeful midnight ebon rays
Emerge with lightening and healing big:

Till — where we brewed the hemlock, toasting pride
Out of a shallow brain-cell's earthy stein,
And to the drugging of our souls sat blind,
Our sense deep-holden — hell inform our taste
How wines that kill the soul without a qualm
Shall slay the body also, and the world
Drench in a drunken sword, without God ruthless !
Our eyes are too much body, gross to see
The tumbled havoc of material things ;
But our near-sighted soul of vision squints,
Though every mortal circumstance, event,
And shape of action, thwart the day, reveals
A spirit-shadow in the far-beyond,
As sunlight throws the shade his form in space.
Our carnal darkness casts a spiritual woe,
As earth, corrupting light with her black die,
Blots the sun's superscription from the moon.
War's world-illuming holocaust of hate, —
Is it a sacrificial film thrown up
Mirage-like on our sky to visualize
The swords of fallen angels, dripping flame
Of demon doctrines that abhor their God
And leap upon us, rolling soul on soul
Down the steep cliffs and off the reeking plain
Into the pit of spirit, murdering rest
With peace more ruinous than carnal war ?
Our staggering guilt reels faint from loss of blood ;
And shall hope perish in our stricken race?
Earth, naked under long-forgotten skies,
Her demon-strangler claws at, bleeding hands
And agonizing muscles wrestling him,
While a pale terror in her startled soul
Sees by the ghastly spectral lights of death
Ghosts of a far-off infancy of faith,
Dim, over tiny unremembered graves
On wraithy shimmering knees, imploring God
To set some memory of returning youth
To teach our second childhood how to pray.

To rise unchastened where new greedy wars
Bait God's longsuffering with blasphemy!

THE HONORABLE ROBERT LANSING
Secretary of State of the United States
| R. PRESIDENT and Gentlemen of the Congress :
It is an especial gratification to me to address you
today, not only as the officer of the United States
who invited you to attend this great Scientific Con-
gress of the American Republics, but also as the pre-
siding member of the Governing Board of the Pan-
American Union. In this dual capacity I have the honor and pleasure
to welcome you, gentlemen, to the capital of this country, in the full
confidence that your deliberations will be of mutual benefit in your
various spheres of thought and research, and not only in your individ-
ual spheres but in the all-embracing sphere of Pan-American unity and
fraternity which is so near to the hearts of us all.
It is the Pan-American spirit and the policy of Pan- Americanism
to which I would for a few moments direct your attention at this early
meeting of the Congress, since it is my earnest hope that "Pan-Amer-
ica" will be the keynote which will influence your relations with one
another and inspire your thoughts and words.
Nearly a century has passed since President Monroe proclaimed
to the world his famous doctrine as the national policy of the United
States. It was founded on the principle that the safety of this Republic
would be imperiled by the extension of sovereign rights by a European
power over territory in this hemisphere. Conceived in a suspicion of
monarchial institutions and in full sympathy with the republican idea,
it was uttered at a time when our neighbors to the south had won their
independence and were gradually adapting themselves to the exercise
of their newly acquired rights. To those struggling nations the doc-
trine became a shield against the great European powers, which in the
[457]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
spirit of the age coveted political control over the rich regions which
the new-born States had made their own.
The United States was then a small nation, but a nation which
had been tried in the fire; a nation whose indomitable will had re-
mained unshaken by the dangers through which it had passed. The
announcement of the Monroe Doctrine was a manifestation of this
will. It was a courageous thing for President Monroe to do. It meant
much in those early days, not only to this country but to those nations
which were commencing a new life under the standard of liberty.
How much it meant we can never know, since for four decades it re-
mained unchallenged.
During that period the younger Republics of America, giving ex-
pression to the virile spirit born of independence anl liberal institu-
tions, developed rapidly and set their feet firmly on the path of national
progress which has led them to that plane of intellectual and material
prosperity which they today enjoy.
Within recent years the Government of the United States has
found no occasion, with the exception of the Venezuela boundary inci-
dent, to remind Europe that the Monroe Doctrine continues unaltered
a national policy of this Republic. The Republics of America are no
longer children in the great family of nations. They have attained
maturity. With enterprise and patriotic fervor they are working out
their several destinies.
During this later time, when the American nations have come
into a realization of their nationality and are fully conscious of the
responsibilities and privileges which are theirs as sovereign and inde-
pendent States, there has grown up a feeling that the Republics of this
hemisphere constitute a group separate and apart from the other na-
tions of the world, a group which is united by common ideals and com-
mon aspirations. I believe that this feeling is general throughout
North and South America, and that year by year it has increased
until it has become a potent influence over our political and commer-
cial intercourse. It is the same feeling which, founded on sympathy
and mutual interest, exists among the members of a family. It is the
tie which draws together the twenty-one Republics and makes of them
the American Family of Nations.
This feeling, vague at first, has become today a definite and cer-
tain force. We term it the "Pan-American spirit," from which
springs the international policy of Pan-Americanism. It is that policy
which is responsible for this great gathering of distinguished men,
[458]
ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE
who represent the best and most advanced thought of the Americas.
It is a policy which this Government has unhesitatingly adopted and
which it will do all in its power to foster and promote.
When we attempt to analyze Pan-Americanism we find that the
essential qualities are those of the family — sympathy, helpfulness and
a sincere desire to see another grow in prosperity, absence of covet-
ousness of another's possessions, absence of jealousy of another's
prominence, and, above all, absence of that spirit of intrigue which
menaces the domestic peace of a neighbor. Such are the qualities of
the family tie among individuals, and such should be, and I believe are,
the qualities which compose the tie which unites the American Family
of Nations.
I speak only for the Government of the United States, but in
doing so I am sure that I express sentiments which will find an echo
in every Republic represented here, when I say that the might of this
country will never be exercised in a spirit of greed to wrest from a
neighboring state its territory or possessions. The ambitions of this
Republic do not lie in the path of conquest but in the paths of peace
and justice. Whenever and wherever we can we will stretch forth a
hand to those who need help. If the sovereignty of a sister Republic
is menaced from overseas, the power of the United States and, I hope
and believe, the united power of the American Republics will consti-
tute a bulwark which will protect the independence and integrity of
their neighbor from unjust invasion or aggression. The American
Family of Nations might well take for its motto that of Dumas' famous
musketeers, "One for all ; all for one."
If I have correctly interpreted Pan- Americanism from the stand-
point of the relations of our Governments with those beyond the seas,
it is in entire harmony with the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doc-
trine is a national policy of the United States ; Pan- Americanism is an
international policy of the Americas. The motives are to an extent
different, the ends sought are the same. Both can exist without im-
pairing the force of either. And both do exist and, I trust, will ever
exist in all their vigor.
But Pan-Americanism extends beyond the sphere of politics and
finds its application in the varied fields of human enterprise. Bear-
ing in mind that the essential idea manifests itself in cooperation, it
becomes necessary for effective cooperation that we should know each
other better than we do now. We must not only be neighbors, but
friends ; not only friends, but intimates. We must understand one an-
[459]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
other. We must comprehend our several needs. We must study the
phases of material and intellectual development which enter into the
varied problems of national progress. We should, therefore, when
opportunity offers, come together and familiarize ourselves with each
other's processes of thought in dealing with legal, economic, and edu-
cational questions.
Commerce and industry, science and art, public and private law,
government and education, all those great fields which invite the in-
tellectual thought of man, fall within the province of the deliberations
of this Congress. In the exchange of ideas and comparison of ex-
periences we will come to know one another and to carry to the nations
which we represent a better and truer knowledge of our neighbors
than we have had in the past. I believe that from that wider knowl-
edge a mutual esteem and trust will spring which will unite these Re-
publics more closely politically, commercially, and intellectually, and
will give to the Pan-American spirit an impulse and power which it
has never known before.
The present epoch is one which must bring home to every think-
ing American the wonderful benefits to be gained by trusting our
neighbors and by being trusted by them, by cooperation and helpful-
ness, by a dignified regard for the rights of all, and by living our na-
tional lives in harmony and good will.
Across the thousands of miles of the Atlantic we see Europe
convulsed with the most terrible conflict which this world has ever
witnessed; we see the manhood of these great nations shattered, their
homes ruined, their productive energies devoted to the one purpose of
destroying their fellowmen. When we contemplate the untold misery
which these once happy people are enduring and the heritage which
they are transmitting to succeeding generations, we can not but con-
trast a continent at war and a continent at peace. The spectacle teaches
a lesson we cannot ignore.
If we seek the dominant ideas in world politics since we became
independent nations, we will find that we won our liberties when in-
dividualism" absorbed men's thoughts and inspired their deeds. This
idea was gradually supplanted by that of nationalism, which found
expression in the ambitions of conquest and the greed for territory
so manifest in the nineteenth century. Following the impulse of na-
tionalism the idea of internationalism began to develop. It appeared
to be an increasing influence throughout the civilized world, when the
present war of Empires, that great manifestation of nationalism, stayed
[460]
ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE
its progress in Europe and brought discouragement to those who had
hoped that the new idea would usher in an era of universal peace and
justice.
While we are not actual participants in the momentous struggle
which is shattering the ideals toward which civilization was moving
and is breaking down those principles on which internationalism is
founded, we stand as anxious spectators of this most terrible example
of nationalism. Let us hope that it is the final outburst of the cardinal
evils of that idea which has for nearly a century spread its baleful in-
fluence over the world.
Pan- Americanism is an expression of the idea of international-
ism. America has become the guardian of that idea, which will in the
end rule the world. Pan- Americanism is the most advanced as well as
the most practical form of that idea. It has been made possible be-
cause of our geographical isolation, of our similar political institutions,
and of our common conception of human rights. Since the European
war began other factors have strengthened this natural bond and given
impulse to the movement. Never before have our people so fully real-
ized the significance of the words, "Peace" and "Fraternity." Never
have the need and benefit of international cooperation in every form
of human activity been so evident as they are to-day.
The path of opportunity lies plain before us Americans. The gov-
ernment and people of every Republic should strive to inspire in others
confidence and cooperation by exhibiting integrity of purpose and
equity in action. Let us as members of this Congress, therefore, meet
together on the plan of common interests and together seek the com-
mon good. Whatever is of common interest, whatever makes for the
common good, whatever demands united effort is a fit subject for ap-
plied Pan-Americanism. Fraternal helpfulness is the keystone to the
arch. Its pillars are faith and justice.
In this great movement this Congress will, I believe, play an ex-
alted part. You, gentlemen, represent powerful intellectual forces in
your respective countries. Together you represent the enlightened
thought of the continent. The policy of Pan- Americanism is practical.
The Pan-American spirit is ideal. It finds its source and being in the
minds of thinking men. It is the offspring of the best, the noblest con-
ception of international obligation.
With all earnestness, therefore, I commend to you, gentlemen, the
thought of the American Republics, twenty-one sovereign and inde-

mented by a sympathy which knows no superior, but which recognizes
only equality and fraternity.

THE HONORABLE JOHN BARRETT
Director-General of The Pan American Union
HIS Pan American Congress may prove to be the most
important Pan American gathering that has been held
in the history of the American Republics. It has come
at a critical time in the world development, and the
eventual practical results which should follow its delib-
erations and conclusions may determine the sovereign
integrity and actual life of all the American Republics. The spirit of
fraternity, solidarity, and common interest, which is inspiring all the
delegations that are here assembled is giving a meaning to Pan Ameri-
canism which all the nations must forever hereafter respect. While
there is nothing in the world or spirit of this Congress which is in any
way antagonistic to Europe, it will be unquestionably a most powerful
factor in cementing that new relationship of mutual interest and inter-
dependence which has been growing with great rapidity in the last
few years, and especially since the outbreak of the European war.
In the minds and thoughts of everybody interested in Pan Ameri-
canism is the question: What is going to happen to Pan America
when this war is over? Immediately and instinctively there is the
reply : The American Republics must stand together for the eventu-
alities that may possibly develop.
While everyone would deplore any agitation or suggestion that a
European nation or a group of European nations, following this strug-
gle, should undertake any territorial aggrandizement in the Western
[463]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Hemisphere, or in any way take action that would contravene the
Monroe Doctrine, it must be borne in mind and can not be for a mo-
ment overlooked that whatever way this war results there may be lit-
tle or no love for the United States and the other nations which form
Pan America. Whichever group of nations wins in this mighty combat
will say that it won in spite of the attitude of the United States and
the other American Republics. Whichever side loses will say that it
lost because of the attitude of the United States and its sister Ameri-
can Republics.
No matter, therefore, how just and fair the nations of America
may have been in their efforts to preserve their neutrality and in no
way interfere on either side of this conflict, the war passions and the
war power of the peoples and the Governments of the victorious group
of nations may force a policy toward Pan Americanism, toward the
Monroe Doctrine, and toward their relationship with individual coun-
tries of the Western Hemisphere, which will demand absolute solidar-
ity of action on the part of the American Republics to preserve their
very integrity.
In the light of this terrible, though regrettable, possibility, one
supreme thought stands out, and that is : If a foreign foe were to suc-
ceed in destroying the sovereignty of the United States, it would only
be a question of time when that foe would destroy the sovereignty of
every other American Republic. In turn, there is no doubt whatever
that if any foreign foe ever succeeded in extending its dominion over
a considerable part of Latin America, and if the nations of Latin
America should become dependencies, it would inevitably follow that
the United States would meet the same fate, because no foreign foe
could achieve such a result except by victory over the United States.
All Pan America will therefore rejoice if this conference shall
give the inspiration, though it may not be able to write the act, because
it is not a political gathering, for the actual evolution of the Monroe
Doctrine into a Pan American doctrine, which will mean that the Latin
American Republics, in the event the United States were attacked
by the foreign foe, would, with all their physical and moral force,
stand for the the protection and sovereignty of the United States just
as quickly as the United States, under corresponding circumstances,
would stand for their sovereignty and integrity. With such a Pan
American doctrine recognized and approved by all the American Re-
publics, there would be no danger for the sovereignty and peace of
Pan America, and the greatest step possible for practical peace among
all nations would be achieved.

Authorized Historian of the Reorganized Church of
Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints; Editor of The
Journal of History, Lamoni, Iowa; a Vice-President of
The National Historical Society
HE FOLLOWING article presents a very interesting
historical account of the dramatic events and perilous
experiences connected with the early appearance of the
Latter Day Saints successively in the States of New
York, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa. It has been
prepared by the official Historian of the Church or-
ganization with headquarters at Lamoni, and therefore gives
an authoritative narration of its rise and development. Special
interest appears in this account of the history and views of a people
who very often have not been distinguished by the general public from
the Latter Day Saints with headquarters at Salt Lake City.
The Editors of The Journal of American History consider this
article an important study in the history of the Middle West of the
United States, a considerable part of whose settlement was due to
or connected with the pioneers of the Latter Day Saints. From this
view-point, the record of their early difficulties and achievements,
together with the statement of the convictions which influenced their
settlement of the Middle West, possesses a decided value to all students
of American history.

THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
|HIS ORGANIZATION had its origin April 6, 1830, at
Fayette, Seneca County, New York. Its charter mem-
bers were only six in number, viz. : Joseph Smith, Oli-
ver Cowdery, Hyrum Smith, David Whitmer, Samuel
H. Smith, and Peter Whitmer, Junior, each of them
under thirty years of age at the time of the organi-
zation.
The Smiths and Cowdery were of old New England colonial fam-
ilies. The Smiths were descended from Robert Smith, who came from
England and settled at Topsfield, Massachusetts, in 1638. These three
brothers were of the sixth generation, inclusive, from Robert, and
Cowdery was of the seventh generation from William Cowdery, of
the family of Lord Cowdery of England, who settled near Lynn, Mas-
sachusetts, about the same time that Robert Smith came to America.
The Whitmers were from a German family, who settled in an
early day near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and subsequently the father
of these two brothers, Peter Whitmer, Senior, removed to New York.
All of these families were of high respectability as far back as records
trace them, and their records indicate their prominence in civil and
military service.
The organization established by these six young men was pecu-
liar in this, that they claimed more direct communication from God
than the reformers had done, and, as a result of this inspiration,
they provided for an organization after the ancient order, with apos-
tles, seventies, prophets, evangelists, bishops, pastors, teachers, dea-
cons, and other officers, some to look after the general interests of
the church and some to attend to the local demands, but all to teach
the gospel principles taught by ancient apostles and saints, vis. : faith,
repentance, baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead
and eternal judgment, and all other principles growing out of or apper-
taining to these.
Among other divine revelations or manifestations which Joseph
Smith claimed to receive were angelic visitations and manifestations
commencing as early as 1820 when he was in his fifteenth year.
Through these manifestations he was made acquainted with the fact
that in a hill near the home of his father, a few miles south of Palmyra,
New York, were hidden some gold plates upon which were engraven
the historical and doctrinal records of the prehistoric nations of Amer-
ica. Finally he was permitted to remove these plates from their rest-
ing place in what was called the Hill Cumorah, where they had lain
[482]

since about 420 A. D. He was permitted to obtain possession of these
plates, and by the power of God, as believed, he was enabled through
the ancient instrument of the "Urim and Thummim," found with the
plates, to translate the engravings into the English language, and pub-
lish them in 1829 in book form called the "Book of Mormon." After
the translation and before the publication, three others bore testimony
as follows:
"Be it known unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, unto
whom this work shall come, that we, through the grace of God the
Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, have seen the plates which contain
this record, which is a record of the people of Nephi, and also of the
Lamanites, their brethren, and also of the people of Jared, who came
from the tower of which hath been spoken; and we also know that
they have been translated by the gift and power of God, for his voice
hath declared it unto us; wherefore we know of a surety, that the
work is true. And we also testify that we have seen the engravings
which are upon the plates ; and they have been shewn unto us by the
power of God, and not of man. And we declare with words of sober-
ness, that an angel of God came down from heaven, and he brought
and laid before our eyes, that we beheld and saw the plates, and the
engravings thereon; and we know that it is by the grace of God the
Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, that we beheld and bear record
that these things are true ; and it is marvelous in our eyes, nevertheless,
the voice of the Lord commanded us that we should bear record of it ;
wherefore, to be obedient unto the commandments of God, we bear
testimony of these things. And we know that if we are faithful in
Christ, we shall rid our garments of the blood of all men, and be found
spotless before the judgment seat of Christ, and shall dwell with him
eternally in the heavens. And the honor be to the Father, and to the
Son, and to the Holy Ghost, which is one God. Amen.

"MARTIN HARRIS."
In addition to this, Joseph Smith showed the plates to eight wit-
nesses whose testimony with the testimony of the three was published
with the first edition of the book and with every other edition since
issued.
The Book of Mormon purports to give account of three distinct
colonies, all coming to the Western Continent from the Orient, the
first, in point of time, at the confounding of the languages at the
[483]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
building of the Tower of Babel, another six hundred years B. C., and
the third at the time Zedekiah, King of Judah, was carried captive into
Babylon. A very fair idea of the claims of the Book of Mormon is
obtained from the Introduction published in the book as follows :
"AN ACCOUNT WRITTEN BY THE HAND OF MORMON
UPON PLATES TAKEN FROM THE PLATES OF NEPHI.
"Wherefore, it is an abridgment of the record of the people of
Nephi, and also of the Lamanites ; written to the Lamanites, who are
a remnant of the house of Israel; and also to Jew and Gentile; writ-
ten by way of commandment, and also by the spirit of prophecy and
of revelation. Written and sealed up, and hid unto the Lord, that
they might not be destroyed; to come forth by the gift and power of
God unto the interpretation thereof; sealed by the hand of Moroni,
and hid up unto the Lord, to come forth in due time by the way of
Gentile; the interpretation thereof by the gift of God.
"An abridgment taken from the Book of Ether; also, which is
a record of the people of Jared; who were scattered at the time the
Lord confounded the language of the people, when they were build-
ing a tower to get to heaven: which is to shew unto the remnant of
the house of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their
fathers ; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they
are not cast off forever; and also to the convincing of the Jew and
Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself
unto all nations. And now if there are faults, they are the mistakes
of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be
found spotless at the judgment seat of Christ."
The infant church increased rapidly until in two months after
organization, it had increased five hundred per cent., and at the first
conference, in June, 1830, there were about thirty members. The in-
crease continued with wonderful rapidity. In September following, a
mission was undertaken to the far west, with the leading purpose of
presenting the message to the American Indians, or, as called in the
Book of Mormon, Lamanites, and of making them acquainted with
the Book of Mormon, as the record of their fathers, but frequently
presenting the message to others. The members of this commission
were Oliver Cowdery, Parley P. Pratt, Ziba Peterson, and Peter Whit-
mer, Junior.
[484]
HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF LATTER DAY SAINTS
In the Western Reserve, Ohio, near Mentor, they called upon a
former friend of Pratt's, a very popular minister of the Disciples
Church, Sidney Rigdon. At this meeting there was presented to Mr.
Rigdon, for the first time, a copy of the Book of Mormon, as the evi-
dence abundantly shows. This shows the absolute absurdity of the
report which afterwards gained current, that Sidney Rigdon assisted
in getting up the Book of Mormon, using as a basis the stolen manu-
script of Solomon Spalding. The Book had been in print over a year
before he saw it, and before he ever met an adherent of this faith.
At Mentor, Kirtland Mills, and vicinity, were found several men
who afterwards became prominent actors in the movement, among
whom were Sidney Rigdon and Doctor Frederick G. Williams, who
subsequently became counselors to the President of the Church, Jo-
seph Smith, Orson Hyde, Luke S. Johnson, Lyman E. Johnson, John
F. Boynton, and Lyman Wight, who subsequently became members
of the quorum of Twelve Apostles, and Edward Partridge who be-
came the first presiding bishop of the Church.
Joseph Smith and others soon followed these missionaries to
Kirtland, Ohio, and it soon was recognized as the headquarters of
the church. Here the organization took on a more perfect and per-
manent form. The first Presidency of three, the quorum of Twelve
Apostles, the first quorum of Seventy, the high council, the presiding
bishopric, and several other quorums, were formed, and a fine build-
ing known as the Kirtland Temple, which still stands, was erected.
In the fall of 1830 the four young missionaries who formed this
nucleus, accompanied by Doctor Frederick G. Williams, moved on west-
ward, and early in 1831, after much hardship incident to traveling on
foot through the snows of a severe winter, arrived at Independence,
Missouri, and in the vicinity of where Kansas City now stands, entered
into their mission among the Indians. They were well received by
the Delaware and other tribes, but through the opposition of mission-
aries of other faiths their work was interfered with. They returned
to Independence and from thence sent Mr. Pratt of their number back
to the church in the east to report progress. The remaining four
continued at Independence until they were joined by several of the
leading authorities of the church, thus forming another nucleus for
church building.
Here a spot was dedicated for the future building of the Temple
of Zion. Members of the church from the east soon began to gather
[485]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
to this place in great numbers. These people coming mostly from the
east, and being strongly in favor of free schools and opposed to human
slavery, excited the enmity of the pioneer settlers who came mostly
from the slave states, especially Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.
This, added to the divergence in religious opinions, caused friction,
bitterness, and violence. It is too long a story, and attended with too
many complications to relate within the limits of this article, but it
resulted in the lawless element arising, organizing, and violently driv-
ing the Saints from the County of Jackson, in the autumn of 1833
and the winter following. They took refuge in adjoining counties,
principally in Clay.
This was too near their old enemies of Jackson who lost no op-
portunity to agitate the minds of the people of Clay until trouble
arose. In 1836, as a means of bringing about better conditions,
Honorable Alexander W. Doniphan, then a member of the Missouri
Legislature, introduced a bill providing for the organization of Cald-
well County. This bill was passed with but little opposition, with the
tacit understanding that the church should occupy the county, buying
out all the settlers who did not care to live among them, and should
not settle in adjoining counties without the expressed consent of two-
thirds of the residents of the township where they desired to settle.
The Saints faithfully carried out the stipulations of the agree-
ment by buying out all who would sell in Caldwell County. They also
established two settlements under the agreement of the two-thirds
expressed consent provision, one in Daviess County which they called
Adam-ondi-Ahman, and one at Dewitt in Carroll County.
In Caldwell, the town site of Far West was located, August 8,
1836, and made the county-seat. The town was almost exclusively
owned by the members of the church and they were very prosperous,
but religious and political prejudice continued, with persecution some-
times assuming the form of violence.
False and exaggerated reports were circulated which so influenced
Governor L. W. Boggs that he issued an order to the militia to banish
the Saints from the State or exterminate them. This so encouraged
the lawless element that, on October 30, 1838, a mob made an assault
on a settlement at Haun's Mill, a few miles east of Far West, and
killed or mortally wounded seventeen persons, none of whom had ever
borne arms against their assassins. On the same day the militia ap-
proached Far West and, under flag of truce, asked for an interview
with Joseph Smith, Parley P. Pratt, Sidney Rigdon, George W. Rob-
[486]

inson, and Lyman Wight. This request was granted, but when these
gentlemen entered the camp of the militia they were made prisoners.
Then Hyrum Smith and Amasa Lyman were brought into camp and
placed under guard with the other five. Though only one of these
men, vis. : Colonel Wight, was in any way connected with the mili-
tary, they were promptly court-martialed and sentenced to be shot, as
the following order will show :
"BRIGADIER-GENERAL DONIPHAN; SIR: You will take
Joseph Smith and the other prisoners into the public square of Far
West, and shoot them at nine o'clock to-morrow morning.
"SAMUEL D. LUCAS,
"Major-General Commanding."
To this General Doniphan with characteristic courage replied :
"It is cold-blooded murder. I will not obey your order. My
Brigade shall march for Liberty to-morrow morning, at eight o'clock;
and if you execute those men, I will hold you responsible before an
earthly tribunal, so help me God.
"A. W. DONIPHAN, Brigadier-General."
During the winter following, the orders of Governor Boggs were
cruelly executed, and the members of the church with much suffering
and destitution were driven from the State, finding shelter in Illinois.
The leaders were held as prisoners in Independence, Richmond, and
Liberty, receiving several ex parte trials, until the following April,
when they were permitted to escape and join their families and friends
in Illinois.
The action of Doniphan so disconcerted Lucas and his associates
that the sentence of death was not carried out. Subsequently a sen-
tence of death was pronounced at Richmond, Missouri, but before
executing sentence consultation was had with Lieutenant-Colonel
Richard B. Mason, then in command at Fort Leavenworth, as to the
legality of the procedure, who replied: "It would be nothing more
nor nothing less than cold blooded murder." So further action was
again abandoned. The detailed account of these perilous times would
be very thrilling and interesting, but must not be undertaken within
the -space of this article.
They were hospitably received in Illinois, and a season of pros-
perity followed, resulting in building up the flourishing city of Nauvoo
in Hancock County. The Missouri agitators, however, continued to
harass them by kidnapping and harshly treating their victims, circu-
[487]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
lating slanderous reports, making requisitions for arrests, etc., until
violent persecution was again prevalent, resulting in the assassination
of Joseph and Hyrum Smith at Carthage, Illinois, June 27, 1844.
While at Nauvoo the church erected a magnificent Temple which pre-
sented an imposing appearance, but the interior was never finished.
Opposition from without and division within now brought to the
church the most critical period of its existence. Enemies drove them
from the fair city of Nauvoo, so that in two years the city was a waste
place and its inhabitants were scattered to the four winds. Aspirants
for leadership' were many. The most formidable and the one gaining
by far the most adherents was Brigham Young, who, Avith his asso-
ciates, left Nauvoo in February, 1846, and finally conducted his ad-
herents to Utah and founded the City of Great Salt Lake. In many
points they departed from the original faith of the church. The most
striking departure was perhaps the introduction of polygamy as a
tenet of the church. This was first presented August 29, 1852, at a
special conference held at Salt Lake City, Utah. In order to put the
responsibility of this doctrine back on Joseph Smith this document
bore date of July 12, 1843, over nme years before its first public pre-
sentation.
The genuineness and authenticity of this document was ques-
tioned by many leading ministers of the church, and the practice of
polygamy denounced as immoral and corrupt.
Proof that Joseph Smith taught and practiced polygamy is al-
leged by the people in Utah has been demanded, but only implicated
witnesses have been found to testify. The entire absence of issue by
any other woman than his one wife, Emma Hale Smith, is conclu-
sive rebuttal of their false testimony.
In the same year that polygamy was introduced in Utah, a move-
ment was made to form a reorganization of the elements opposed to
this and other innovations. This organization took more definite
form in 1853. I* was composed principally of men who were active
participants in the church during the days of its first President, Jo-
seph Smith, and included several local church organizations which
had maintained their organic identity through all the time of trouble
and doubt. This organization at once advocated that the rights of
Presidency should be vested in the son of Joseph Smith, according to
accepted revelations received through him. Elder Jason Briggs, who
had been connected with the church during the administration of its
first president, was chosen temporary president to represent the law-
[488]
HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF LATTER DAY SAINTS
ful heir. On April 6, 1860, Joseph Smith, son of the de-
ceased president, presented himself to a conference of the church
held at Amboy, Illinois, and was immediately chosen and ordained to
occupy his father's place. The scattered elements and representatives
of the several factions rallied to his support, until to-day only the or-
ganization with headquarters at Salt Lake City, Utah, remains to dis-
pute the claims of the Reorganized Church.
Several times the claims of these two rival organizations have
been tested in the Courts, the principal one being the. famous Temple
Case, where the Reorganized Church, for the purpose of quieting ti-
tle, brought action against all parties having color of title. The case
came before the Court of Common Pleas, Lake County, Ohio, in Feb-
ruary, 1880. Honorable L. S. Sherman was the judge. The de-
cision, in part, was as follows :
"That the said plaintiff, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, is a religious society, founded and organized
upon the same doctrines and tenets, and having the same church or-
ganization, as the original Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, organized in 1830 by Joseph Smith, and was organized pur-
suant to the constitution, laws and usages of said original church, and
has branches located in Illinois, Ohio, and other States.
"That the church in Utah, the defendant, of which John Taylor
is president, has materially and largely departed from the faith, doc-
trines, laws, ordinances, and usages of said original Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, and has incorporated into its system of
faith the doctrines of celestial marriage and a plurality of wives, and
the doctrine of Adam-god worship, contrary to the laws and constitu-
tion of said original church.
"And the Court do further find that the plaintiff, the Reorgan-
ized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is the true and law-
ful continuation of, and successor to the said original Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, organized in 1830, and is entitled in law
to all its rights and property."
The people of Utah try to throw discredit upon the Reorganized
Church by claiming that there was no disorganization and hence no
demand for a reorganization, but the foregoing decree not only makes
plain that the Utah contingency had departed from the original faith,
but defines wherein. Though other tests have been made, no contrary
opinion has been rendered.
Joseph Smith continued to preside until his death, December 10,
1914. In these fifty- four years he retained the universal love and con-
[489]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
fidence of the people, and though he was annually sustained by vote
of Conference, there was never a negative vote.
In 1842 Joseph Smith wrote an epitome of faith, which was pub-
lished in the Chicago Democrat as follows :
"We believe in God the Eternal Father, and in his Son Jesus
Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
"We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not
for Adam's transgression.
"We believe that through the atonement of Christ all mankind
may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.
"We believe that these ordinances are, ist, Faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ; 2d, Repentance; 3d, Baptism by immersion for the re-
mission of sins ; 4th, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
"We believe that a man must be called of God by 'prophecy, and
by laying on of hands' by those who are in authority to preach the gos-
pel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
"We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive
church, viz. : Apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, etc.
"We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions,
healing, interpretation of tongues, etc.
"We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is trans-
lated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of
God.
"We believe all that God has revealed, all that he does now reveal,
and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things
pertaining to the kingdom of God.
"We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restora-
tion of the Ten Tribes. That Zion will be built upon this continent.
That Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and that the earth
will be renewed and receive its paradisaic glory.
"We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according
to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the same privilege,
let them worship how, where or what they may.
"We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and mag-
istrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous,
and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we follow the
admonition of Paul, 'we believe all things, we hope all things', we have
endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If
[490]
HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF LATTER DAY SAINTS
there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy,
we seek after these things."
The Reorganized Church has reaffirmed the above without alter-
ation, and because of recent issues added :
"We believe that Marriage is ordained of God; and that the law
of God provides for but one companion in wedlock, for either man or
woman, except in cases of death or where the contract of marriage is
broken by transgression.
"We believe that the doctrines of plurality and a community of
wives are heresies, and are opposed to the law of God. THE BOOK
of MORMON says : — "Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken
to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you
have save it be ONE WIFE, and concubines he shall have none, for I,
the Lord God, delighteth in the chastity of women. And whoredoms
are an abomination before me, saith the Lord of hosts." — Jacob 2:
36, 37-
Since the death of President Joseph Smith, his son, Frederick M.
Smith, has been installed as president. The quorums are in splendid
organic form, and face the future with the confidence and good will
of the people, which has been increased with each succeeding year
under the presidency of Joseph Smith since 1860.
The legal headquarters of the church are at Lamoni, Iowa, where
it maintains a large publishing house, issuing several periodicals,
books and tracts. It is incorporated under the laws of Iowa. A still
larger gathering, numerically, exists at Independence, Missouri, and
a branch publishing house is maintained there. A college, two homes
for the aged and a children's home are maintained at Lamoni ; a sani-
tarium and two homes for the aged at Independence; and one home
for the aged at Kirtland, Ohio.
The personnel of the General Officers of the Church at pres-

DOCTOR JULIO PHILIPPI
Vice-Chairman of the Chilean Delegation at the Pan-American
Scientific Congress
R. VICE-PRESIDENT, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Presi-
dent of the Second Pan-American Scientific Congress,
Ladies and Gentlemen :
Six years ago the capital city of my country en-
joyed the great honor of welcoming the distinguished
guests of all the Republics of the continent who had
assembled to celebrate the first Pan-American Scientific Congress.
To-day we assemble for the second time, and this time we are the
guests of the oldest and most powerful of the sister Republics.
The countries here represented cover a vast extent of territory, a
New World — and rightly so called because of the relatively short pe-
riod that has elapsed since it was discovered by the races of Europe,
and because it has given to the world a new concept of the destiny of
humanity, and of the forms of government which shall bring humanity
i ever higher levels.
It is a fact, and a fact which does not mean a mere coincidence,
and with reference to the significance of which I wish to call your
attention, that all the States of the American Continent possess one
and the same form of government. All of them are committed to those
ideals which Lincoln expressed so admirably when he said, "A gov-
ernment of the people, for the people, and by the people." This noble
and profound profession of faith by one of the greatest sons of Amer-
ica represents the aspiration of all the nations of this continent.
Diverse have been the paths which we have tread in advancing
[492]
IDEALS OF WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN FOR ALL AMERICA
toward this ideal; no less diverse have been the obstacles which we
have had to overcome in attempting to incorporate these ideals in our
national life and thought. Furthermore, we must not forget that the
conditions have not been equally favorable to all of us. Nevertheless,
each and every country, even the most modest, possesses a wealth of
experience, which can not help but be of value to all the other countries
of the continent.
I believe that I can say, without reserve, that the political history
of Chile is the story of a struggle, ardent at times, but always looking
toward the realization of this democratic ideal. Can you imagine a
purpose more important and more noble for gatherings such as these
than the study of our political life as republics and of our evolution
toward democratic ideals ?
Let us never forget that every law, and that every event in the
life of our peoples, is a social phenomenon, a resultant of historical
antecedents, which, at times, we are unable to overcome. Let us study
these antecedents with a serene and dispassionate silence, without prej-
udice, and without passion. The results of such study can not help but
be fruitful, although we may not be able to express them for the mo-
ment in terms of material advantage. Material interests do not al-
ways unite nations, and at times we have even had instances in which
the influence of such interests were not in harmony with the highest
ideals of civilization. The advantages we have in mind are of a much
higher order.
Permit me, therefore, in expressing the sincere thanks of the Chil-
ean Delegation to this Nation, and to the Government of the United
States for their generous hospitality, and to combine therewith the
expression of our admiration for the high and noble democratic ideals
which Washington and Lincoln have made the common property of
all the Americas.

DOCTOR ERNESTO QUESADA
President of the Delegation from the Argentine Republic at the
Second Pan-American Scientific Conress
OUR EXCELLENCY, the Vice-President of the Re-
public, the Honorable, the Secretary of State, Mr.
President of the Congress, ladies and gentlemen :
The Argentine Delegation, over which I have the
honor to preside, in acknowledging the distinguished
attentions received alike from authorities and individ-
uals, takes pleasure in expressing its wishes that this Congress, des-
tined, as it is to tighten the bonds of Pan-American solidarity among
the nations of our continent, shall achieve success.
Never more than at the present moment, while Europe is in the
throes of the great conflict of nations, has America been confronted
by a more vital necessity to stand together, with a view to uniformity
in ideas, aspirations, and tendencies, as well as in politico-economic as
in purely intellectual spheres. This Congress is to concern itself with
only the second of these fields of thought, and the programme pre-
pared is so vast and comprehensive that it may be said that, in the
many themes submitted for our deliberation, every problem that con-
fronts the human mind is to be found.
In view of the composition of the Congress, there will undoubt-
edly be presented for us to consider innumerable papers which, not-
withstanding our desire to do so, we shall probably not have time fully
to discuss and digest. Perhaps it may become necessary for us to con-
tent ourselves with a concise exposition of the context of each and
await its publication in full in the proceedings of the Congress for our
opportunity to take due account of its consummate importance. But,
[494]
THE INTELLECTUAL UNION OF THE AMERICAS
in any event, this opportunity of meeting and conferring with so many
representatives of all the American countries will contribute to facili-
tate the solution of not a few of the questions, and will serve to make
more binding the intellectual union of America, which, until now, has
been somewhat loose and which has been of rather negligible force in
certain sections.
The Argentine Delegation has felt that it ought to strive to make
the present Congress bear more tangible and permanent fruit, yet
without prejudice to the series of isolated papers that may be presented
at its several sessions. To this end, it has placed itself in accord with
the Chilean and Brazilian Delegations, in order to formulate certain
proposals of a general character and common utility, and has submit-
ted them previously for the consideration of other delegations, for the
purpose of securing a true realization of Pan-American work.
Because this should be based on the absolute international equality
of all continental nations, both great and small, the international con-
sciences of all are to-day awakened, and are impressed with the duty
of co-ordinating in an effort to solve the general problems from a
point of view peculiarly American. The political aspect being happily
eliminated from the deliberations of this Congress, the intellectual
alone remains, and in this, conceivably, no stumbling block can present
itself.
Therefore, the fundamental idea pervading the three projects
that are to be submitted to the Congress at its next general session
should be agreeable to all the Delegates. Lack of time only has pre-
vented their presentation, unanimously signed by all. It is sought
thereby to complement, in the intellectual field, the work of the exist-
ing Pan-American Union, by organizing, as sections of that union,
three subsidiary unions : One pertaining to universities, a bibliothical
union, and an archaeological one.
The first proposes to confederate all the universities of this con-
tinent, for the better development of their organizations and tenden-
cies, the facilitation of interchanges of professors and students, and to
permit the meeting of both in periodical assemblies.
The second has for its object to place within reach of the isolated
student the common treasures collected in all the libraries of the con-
tinent, by recommending to those institutions the service of exchange
of publications and the preparation of bibliographical lists of intellect-
ual productions, to the end that any person may know and obtain such
productions as may appear in other sections of America.
[495]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
The third proposes to conserve the pre-Columbian remains of the
ancient civilizations of the peoples that inhabited this continent before
its discovery, and combine the activities of the ethnological museums,
in order to facilitate the study of this mysterious science.
It will be seen, then, that these projects, which it is sought to have
the present Pan-American Union carry into effect as subsidiaries
thereof, will tend to advance the solidarity of all the nations of Amer-
ica, and to produce in all very real benefits. So that, if such projects
should prosper, this Congress will have given life to new institutions
of a permanent character and of indubitable utility.
Whether on this account, or on the more strictly technical ground
taken in the papers designated in the programme, the Argentine Dele-
gation, animated by the most ample sentiments of American cofrater-
nity, and sensible of our imperishable historical traditions, takes part
in the deliberations of the Congress imbued with the highest desire
for its success. There is no doubt that this will be a brilliant one, and
that the generosity and unstinted hospitality extended to us at this
time by this great country will contribute to facilitate that result and
to tighten the bonds of friendship and sympathy between the nations
and the inhabitants of America.
Such is the message that my country sends on this portentious
occasion.

Pan=.9ntcrtcan Scientific Congress
BY
HIS EXCELLENCY, THOMAS R. MARSHALL
Vice-President of the United States
ADIES, Mr. President, Distinguished Representatives
of Sister Jurisdictions, Mr. Secretary-General, and
Members of the Second Pan-American Scientific
Congress :
I do not apologize for the absence of the President
of the United States. The reason for his absence is
known to you all. In the presence of Love, Science is silent. But I
am quite sure that I address no man who has loved, no man who does
love, nor no man who hopes to love, who does not wish the President
of the United States years of unclouded happiness. I would, how-
ever, that he were here, because he could tickle this English language
of ours into such a smile that these delegates would not recognize the
difference between it and their own mother tongue.
It is a very remarkable pleasure and honor to welcome the dele-
gates to this convention. About one-half of the conventions that are
held in the world might as well never have been held, because they sim-
ply consist of coming together, listening to some one speak on a sub-
ject that no one save the man who speaks is interested in, attending
a dinner, and passing into oblivion. Such, however, is not this re-
markable convention. Travelers have told me that there is a point in
[513]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Iceland where the rays of the setting and of the rising sun mingle, and
it is not possible to tell when one day is ended and another is begun ;
and it strikes me that this convention marks an area in the history of
mankind.
Nobody can convince me that the awful cataclysm in Europe has
not set aside all that we have known as being the safe and sure charts
upon the seas of -human life. I believe that it is not possible to take the
old charts by which governments and men guided and controlled their
own lives and the destinies of their own people and prepared for the
hours of the future. Upon the contrary, I think it is necessary once
again over uncharted seas for some new Columbus to sail and dis-
cover a new America, and I want to congratulate you upon the fact
that I believe that, metaphorically speaking, in this chamber to-day
there is some new Columbus, who will discover for us a new America,
bound together, not so much in personal and private interest, as in a
common whole of the Western Hemisphere.
May I be permitted to speak just one word as to what I believe
this Republic of ours stands for ? May I tell you that I think it does
not rest upon the Constitution of the United States, upon the shoulders
of the President, or the Congress, or the Supreme Court of the United
States, but I know that its foundation stone was intended to be the
Golden Rule, that "Whatsoever we would that men should do unto us
we would also do unto them."
I think that the years of the past are gone in the Western Hemis-
phere. I think that there is to be no mere personal, political, and na-
tional ambition that will ever again set the peoples of the Western
Hemisphere the one against the other. I believe that the hour has
come when Pan-Americanism shall spell friendship, peace, and con-
cord among all the peoples of the western world.
It may not be known to you, because what the Vice-President
of the United States says is not even important to his wife. It may not
be known to you, but I am one of those in these United States who
believes in the preparation of this country for war. Not that I want
war, because the dream and the prayer of my life is that the hour shall
come when every difficulty among the nations of the world shall be
settled, not by the tramp of hostile armies, but by the sway of the same
heavenly harmonies which aroused the drowsy shepherds of the rock-
founded city of Bethlehem, proclaiming, "Peace on earth, good will to
men !"
But I know myself, — and I have no way of measuring other men
THE GOLDEN RULE OF AMERICA'S FOUNDATION STONE
save by my own standard, — and I have not reached that high alti-
tude yet when I am willing to have some ruffian interfere with the
things which I believe to be my rights. And so, while I pray and hope
for peace, I want preparation to resist unjust interference with the
affairs of my Republic, and I hope that out of this Pan-American Con-
gress there shall come a new idea, if it be new to any of you, and
a new ideal of the Monroe Doctrine; and that idea and that ideal
shall be that, while this Republic will not permit this West-
ern Continent to be made a place of exploitation by any of the
Powers of Europe, this Republic itself will not make itself an ex-
ploitation of any part of it. Let it be understood that the Republics
of the Western World are not enemies; they are friends, brethren,
neighbors, and what touches you to your injury touches us to ours.
I am glad that the idea of this Scientific Congress came from the
south of us. We need this lesson. For a long while, we have imag-
ined that nobody could teach a citizen of the United States anything.
We knew it all ; we were as wise as I was the day when I was admitted
to the practice of law, for then there was no question of constitutional
or international law that I could not have settled by my own "ipse dixi."
But the years have gone, and the years, instead of teaching me wis-
dom, have taught me that I know but little. And so we needed this
lesson and we have taken it, I think, to our hearts, and we have real-
ized that the great thing for the future upon the Western Continent
is not one people who know it all, but many people who believe in all
and are willing to consult with all.
This marks, I think, the end of about a hundred years of procla-
mation of the rights of men. If I know what has caused the wars and
the rumors of wars and the tumults among mankind, I may say they
have been caused by that never-ending cry about* the rights of men.
Now, I am not disposed to either yield my own or to ask you to yield
yours, but I beg to recall to your mind that there never came to any
man a right that there did not also go with it a corresponding duty.
And so I say that I hope this Congress will end the hundred years of
the everlasting proclamation of the rights of men and will inaugurate
upon this Western Continent a hundred years of the duties that men
owe to each other in these lands of ours.
It was a famous German who took a pen of gold and wrote upon
the white pages of the book of life a philosophy that had but one in-
quiry and that inquiry was a wail, and had no answer save the answer
of despair. I do not like the philosophy of Nietzsche, but there was
[515]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
one thing which he did say that has appealed to me. He said that men
must lead adventurous lives; and I congratulate you distinguished
members of this Congress upon the fact that you have about begun to
lead the really adventurous lives of the world. For no one can con-
vince me that it is essentially necessary that men should gird their
loins with the sword, start out to kill and slay and make desolate, in
order to be adventurous. I believe that the men who seek the common
weal, who seek to lengthen life, to make it far better, far sweeter, and
far cleaner than it has been, are leading the really adventurous lives.
And so may I, in welcoming you to this Republic of the North,
give you not only the mere lip service of a welcome, but give you the
heart salutation of a man who hopes that until the Angel of the
Apocalypse, standing with one foot on land and one on sea, shall pro-
claim, "Time was, Time is, but Time shall be no more," there shall be
peace, amity, concord, friendship, loyalty, and liberality among the
Nations of the Western World!

BY
HIS EXCELLENCY, SENOR DON EDUARDO SUAREZ-MUJICA
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary from Chile to the
United States
[ XCELLENCIES, Messrs. Delegates, Ladies and Gen-
tlemen :
It now behooves me to say a few words, on this
memorable occasion.
So well known are they, that I do not have to dwell
upon the characteristics forming the essence of this
great assembly, and which are not ordinarily to be found in interna-
tional gatherings of a wider scope. Its purpose, of a purely intellect-
ual order, free from any interests outside of those of scientific re-
search, displays that mark of nobleness and dignity peculiar to men-
tal efforts when the mind strives for a greater amount of light — a
white, intensive, and pure light — to enlighten the path of human prog-
ress.
Man, creation's superior being, owes to himself and to the infi-
[517]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
nite diversifications of matter coming under his control, the duty of
continually developing himself^ so that he may be worthy of his semi-
divine role, and in order to increase, also unceasingly, the welfare and
happiness in the world wherein he exercises his sovereign domain.
Thus, a Congress, such as the one we are to-day inaugurating, to
attend which caravans of pilgrims of knowledge of have come, with-
out heeding difficulties or sacrifices, from all parts of the Continent,
to contribute with their share towards the work for the intellectual
emancipation of the species — a Congress, such as this, I repeat, con-
stitutes a vivid testimony to the fact that man is fulfilling his high
mission, and that his efforts and his energies are not spared when for
the sake of humanity's higher interests.
To this end it is comforting to look back to the origin of the move-
ment by which exactly one-half of the civilized countries of the globe
are here to-day in communion. That origin shows how the sparks of
the spirit of science, through their own expansive power, grow, until
they become large, glowing flames, capable of serving as torches to
light the world's path.
Twenty-five years ago, a modest Chilean scientific organization
originated the institution of national scientific congresses, whose
range did not go beyond the geographical boundaries of the country,
unless it was to appoint a few corresponding members in the neigh-
boring Republics.
Some years later, the spark caught fire on the other side of the
Andes, and an important Argentine scientific organization, enlarging
the idea with a wider scope, and acting with the co-operation and un-
der the auspices of its enlightened Government, founded the perma-
nent institution of Latin American Scientific Congresses, with the en-
thusiastic participation of scientists from all the cognate Republics of
America.
A complete success attended the first three congresses, held, re-
spectively, in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Rio de Janeiro. When
the preliminary work of the fourth congress, sitting in Santiago de
Chile, was undertaken, its organization committee thought, in its turn,
that the time was ripe for wiping out the boundary lines to which these
congresses, for ethnical reasons, had been confined until then, and to
give them thereafter a continental latitude, that might be in better har-
mony with the universality and majesty of their purposes.
With that end in view, they sought and secured the ample, uncon-
ditional, and efficient co-operation from our great sister of the north,
THE MONROE DOCTRINE A BULWARK FOR OUR DEMOCRACIES
the United States of America, which nation participated in the San-
tiago Congress with a brilliant representation, and now so eloquently
and pleasingly shows to the rest of America its spirit of scientific con-
fraternity.
Thus, through a successful, progressive evolution, impelled by
men and supported by governments, we have come, from the modest
beginning of a local scientific body, to the solemn and magnificent in-
ternational assembly which to-day unites the whole continent in a
brotherly intercourse for the mutual benefit of all.
Thus, also permanent existence has been secured for an institu-
tion which is an honor to America, an institution which, undoubtedly,
has already begun to exercise a positive influence upon the populariza-
tion and adoption into our laws or into our economic or educational
methods, of principles and doctrines of common interest to us, and
which, in fine, is likely destined, by reason of the generic nature of its
scope and on account of the very intensity of its irradiation, to carry
the benefits of its work far beyond the confines of Columbus's world.
Indeed, who can deny the probability that tomorrow, when the hour of
calm, of love, and brotherliness shall have replaced the hour of con-
flagration, of hatred, and of death, now consuming the work of the
other half of the world — the oldest, the most civilized, the one whose
duty it is to set up its example with its spirit of humanity and with its
powerful impulse of civilization and progress — who can deny, I repeat,
the probability that, when the tragedy shall have ended and the men in
that part of the world shall have recovered their equilibrium of mind
and heart, our present and future labors may project a new light upon
European intellectualism, finally to effect a universal concert?
As a complement of the work of scientific extension by these con-
gresses, there is the work of social and political extension which,
though not precisely their object, is their natural consequence and in-
deed does not constitute one of the lesser benefits derived from their
meetings. Together with the abstract problems of anthropology, law,
astronomy, medicine, mechanics, there are found the less metaphysical
and more practical researches on educational methods, sanitation sys-
tems, development of transportation facilities, and other factors of in-
dustrial prosperity bearing directly upon the common economy of life,
in whose field intercourse and acquaintance are facilitated among the
men who direct the mental activities of countries.
Men are the instrument, by means of which love and good-will
among people are wrought. They are the ground-work of peace and
[519]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
the foundation of its prosperity. Assembled in these congresses, and
thereby associated and acquainted with each other, they study recip-
rocally their individual and national traits, the conditions and necessi-
ties of life in their respective countries, and bring about an atmosphere
of mutual understanding and congeniality. Under this atmosphere,
egotism vanishes, and the obstacles that separation and distance put
in the way of human cordiality are overcome.
If this indirect benefit were to be the only outcome of these period-
ical conventions, I do not hesitate in stating that, in my judgment, it
would suffice to justify all efforts and all sacrifices on the part of indi-
viduals and governments.
It is the good fortune of this assembly to meet at a time gratifying
to the political and international interests of the Republics herein rep-
resented. Twenty days ago, at the time of the solemn opening of the
Federal Congress of this great Republic, His Excellency, the President
of the United States, tracing in detail the lines of the exact meaning
of Pan-Americanism, succeeded so eloquently and expressively in
shaping his sentiments of continental brotherhood, that his statements
were flashed by the wires throughout our Americas, like messages of
friendship and as a crystallization of a policy of American respect,
equality, and solidarity.
With the echo from these solemn declarations still vibrating, and
as if to confirm their meaning and extent in a direct and unmistakable
manner, His Excellency, the Secretary of State, the authorized organ
for communicating the official thought to the other countries, has just
uttered, in terms perhaps more assertive, although not more transpar-
ent, the complete expression of the Pan-American sentiment and pol-
icy, wherefrom the government, guiding the affairs of George Wash-
ington's country, derives and shall derive its inspiration.
A new community of interests and a clearer conception of their
common ties, — said His Excellency, President Wilson, — binds the na-
tions of America to-day. All intelligent men should welcome the new
light guiding us now, when nobody here thinks of guardianship or
tutelage, but of a frank and honorable association with our neighbors,
in the interest of all America, North and South. Within the purpose
of defending national independence and political liberty in America,
which inspired the historical declaration by President Monroe, there
is no thought of our taking advantage of any Government in this Hem-
isphere or of exploiting for our benefit their political contingencies.
All the Governments of America, — the worthy Executive of this cotin-
[520]
THE MONROE DOCTRINE A BULWARK FOR OUR DEMOCRACIES
try concludes with eloquent majesty, — stand, so far as we are con-
cerned, upon a footing of genuine equality and unquestioned independ-
ence. Mutual co-operation in the divers orders of 'their national activ-
ities, the unity of their thought and action, the community of their
sympathies and ideals, such are the characteristics of Pan-American-
ism. There is none of the imperialistic spirit in it; only the embodi-
ment, effectual embodiment, of the spirit of law, of independence, of
liberty, and of reciprocal support.
A similar language, an expression equally clear and precise, of
American confraternity, a statement of declarations no less substantive
and valuable, has just been formulated by His Excellency, the Secre-
tary of State, in the remarkable speech we have heard from him.
This is a Pan-American gathering. It is the first large meeting of
eminent men from all Americas held since and soon after the trans-
cendental manifestation of purposes by the two officals embodying
the representation and assuming the responsibilities for the foreign
policy of the United States. Therefore, no other opportunity is more
propitious, nor any representative body is better qualified than ours,
at this time, to take notice of such declaration, and to place them over
the frontispiece of this Congress, within a frame built by the friend-
ship and love of the other twenty republics of the Continent.
Although representing only one of those Republics, I am never-
theless convinced that I am interpreting the thought and feeling of
each and every one of them, when I say that the Government of the
United States to-day completes the erasing, with a friendly hand, of
the last traces of past misunderstandings and erroneous interpreta-
tions which had in former times clouded the political horizon of Amer-
ica. No doubt, there had prevailed before' now, in the atmosphere in
American Foreign Offices, uncertainties, misgivings, and suspicions,
whenever the well-inspired and unquestionably beneficial declaration
of President Monroe was brandished in the United States with a view
to practical application. There was lacking the precise definition of
the meaning and extent of that memorable document, and many of the
weaker American nations, like small birds that feel in the air the sound
of a menacing flight, seemed afraid and apprehensive, whenever the
news reached them of a possible practical application of its declara-
tions.
Thus, the Monroe doctrine might have been a threat, so long as
it was only a right and an obligation on the part of the United States.
Generalized as a derivation from the Pan-American policy, supported
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
by all the Republics in the continent, as a common force and a common
defense, it has become a solid tie of unison, a guaranty, a bulwark for
our democracies.
Before now, some steps had been tried with success along the path
of Pan-American evolution, and if those preliminary efforts have,
through circumstances, been participated in only by a numerically
small and geographically distant group of the countries in the hemis-
phere, it is not, indeed, due to the purposes of exclusion or selection
which would have been inconsistent with the well proven spirit of
brotherhood that always inspired the governments of those countries.
All the Republics of America are capable of setting up their own des-
tiny, and all are unquestionably bound to serve, in their turn, as expo-
nents of our civilization and progress.
It is, therefore, gratifying to expect days of joy and glory for our
America. The ship of our destinies, flying the banner of fraternity
and solidarity, which are the motto of Pan- Americanism, cannot run
against any rocks that might hinder her course. The forces of twenty-
one countries are united to propel her, and by means of this harmonious
impulse, moral progress is secured, and the road leading to the achieve-
ment of material advancement is directly pursued.
Messrs. Delegates: Under the auspices of the cordial reception
accorded us by this country and with our hearts full of faith in the suc-
cess of the journey, you are going to undertake your labors, from
which America expects fruitful results. We are in the country of
great energies, where every man is an originating power, and where
every solution spells victory for the welfare of humanity. Let us, we
delegates with the Latin soul, prove that we are equally capable of
generating energy to insure the well-being of humankind, and that we
are likewise able to assist, with a contribution worthy of our brothers
of Anglo-Saxon America, in the work of Pan-American communion
to which we are invited by the engaging word of President Wilson and
his Secretary of State.
In concluding my remarks, I request the Congress that, with all
standing up, it shall join me in sending the homage of our respectful
greetings to the President of the United States, who is to us the high-
est embodiment of the national entity of this Republic.

DOCTOR EDUARDO J. PINTO
Chairman of the Costa Rican Delegation to the Second
Pan-American Scientific Congress
OUR Excellency, Mr. Vice-President, Mr. Secretary of
State, Mr. President of the Congress, ladies and gen-
tlemen :
The peaceful assembling of free America to discuss
in this Congress, and at this moment, the best and most
adequate means science can dispose of to dignify and
beautify human life, is highly significant to all who have had the priv-
ilege of being born in the new world. And that this should happen at
the precise moment when the genius of war prevails as a god com-
manding ruin and desolation on the other side of the Atlantic is even
more significant. The pride which the Pan-Americans to-day ex-
perience is the more intense and well justified since this is the second
continental convention which has met in Washington during the pe-
riod of world-wide desolation. It would seem as if, by a natural re-
flex impulse, the nations of America, having witnessed the results of
upheaval and hatred, wished to prevent them forever, making a union
ever growing in strength and cordiality.
[523]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Gentlemen of the Congress, my country, Costa Rica, being so
small a nation, has but very limited means at her disposal to be able
to offer you any original work deserving the care and consideration
of your enlightened science and learning. I therefore beg of you to
accept in her name the earnest and sincere wishes that your efforts
may attain the most brilliant success, as is called forth by your learn-
ing, by the noble motives which summoned you here, and by the great-
ness and glory of the nations you are representing on this most sol-
emn occasion.

FRANK ALLABEN
HE CONSTANT mystery of ourselves, and of this
great blue-domed world-theatre in which we act our
parts, presents an endless problem and perpetual
stumbling-block to all human philosophy. Distracted
by the elusive alchemy of life, the baffled brain falls
back in doubt of every thing. Born in the midst of a
great tapestry, we pull only at a few threads in the centre of the piece.
O that we might touch the beginning of things, or grasp even a single
unravelled end !
Could we have witnessed the laying of the foundations of the
earth ; when the measures were taken, and the line stretched upon it ;
when the sockets were made to sink, and the corner-stone was planted ;
when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted
for joy ; when the sea was shut up with doors, as it broke forth from
the womb, and the cloud was made its garment, and thick darkness its
swaddling band ; — had thus our eyes beheld creation at work, should
we not have gathered some penetrating clue to the mystery of things?
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Probably not. The soundless crash and inaudible tumult, as the
gigantic beams and great quivering timbers of the universe tilted and
rocked into place, would very likely have stunned our souls into com-
plete incomprehension. Doubtless minds like ours can extract much
more from an atom caught in chemistry's retort than from starry
worlds impaled upon the lens of astronomy. Not in whirlwind, earth-
quake, or fire, but in a still small voice, the prophet heard the word of
revelation. And to the great Mystery of Life, to us seemingly inscru-
table and far-away, may we not find a key in the sanctuary of human
life, intimately near us, which unfolds its mystery under our very eyes?
These thoughts spring out of a scrap-book, whose study of late has
greatly fascinated me, — a scrap-book of newspaper clippings, from
whose rude mosaic I have been able to spell out the chronicles of one
of the most interesting and inspiring episodes in the dramatic history
of the country. I am going to share this story with the readers of The
Journal of American History, and shall let them gather it, pretty much
as I have done, out of clippings from the daily papers of one of our
large American cities.
Thus, instead of giving this article the title I have written at its
head, I might have called it "Revelations of a Scrap-Book," or "Story
of a Remarkable Contribution to Dramatic Art in an American City
Told by the Newspaper Clippings in a Scrap-Book," or "Views in a
Newspaper Kaleidoscope of a Temple of Art Created Out of a
Woman's Generosity and Beautiful Ideals." The woman was Mrs.
Mary Elizabeth Wieting — now Mrs. Melville Augustus Johnson. The
scene of her notable work was the City of Syracuse, New York.
With the help of our book of clippings, let us now put ourselves in
the place of an old resident of that City. It is the morning of Sep-
tember 3rd, 1896, and we have just come down to breakfast. Lying
beside our plate is the morning paper — let us say the Syracuse Stand-
ard. Before taking it up a chain of pleasant anticipation runs lightly
through the mind. Next week the "season" will begin ; we wonder who
is to open the Wieting Opera House on Monday night. Then we pick
up the Standard and with amazement confront these flaring headlines :
In Ashes
Wieting Opera House Totally Destroyed by Flames at 2 A. M.
Fire Brief but Disastrous

The History of the Theatre
Last Night Marked Its Total Destruction by Fire for the Third Time
Breakfast is forgotten. We slip into a chair and with crowding
sensations try to take in the following account :
Wieting opera house, with its costly curtains and scenery and elaborate fixtures, which
was to have opened for the season next week, was totally destroyed by fire at an early hour
this morning. For more than an hour the sky for miles around was illuminated by the bril-
liant shafts of flame as they shot up into the heavens. Box No. 15, at the corner of North
Salina street and Clinton square, had been sounded, and that, with the general alarm which
soon followed, was sufficient to call hundreds of citizens from their beds. The streets were
literally jammed with people who in the brief space of an hour witnessed a fire that for spec-
tacular grandeur and speedy destruction of valuable property had not been equalled in years.
The sight was an imposing one. The mountains of flame that loomed up from the roof
of the theatre seemed to embrace the area of the entire building almost from the start, and
it was certain that nothing could save the opera house from total destruction.
The first alarm, which was sent in at I '.48 o'clock, was from the central telephone office,
located in the Wieting block. The night operator, while sitting at the switchboard, discov-
ered flames shooting up from the rear of the opera house. She immediately sounded a tele-
phone call. Almost simultaneously Box No. 15 was pulled by the officer on the beat, who
saw a mass of flames shoot into the air from the rear of the theatre. Upon the arrival of
the fire Chief, a few minutes later, a third, and, later, a general alarm was sent in, calling
every engine in the city to the scene. The engines were forced to their highest pressure and
did heroic work.
At 2 :os o'clock a stream from the water tower, which had been stationed directly in
front of the main entrance, was brought to bear on the doomed opera house. A dozen or
more streams from the seven engines played upon the conflagration, but for over an hour
appeared to have little effect.
At 2:15 o'clock the fire, burning down the roof at the front of the building, had reached
the ground floor. The immense galleries fell with a crash, and, owing to the strong wind
which was blowing at the time, the large auditorium was turned .into a caldron of flame.
The outer wall, which is several feet thick and constructed entirely of brick, stood firm, al-
though the huge cornices were loosened and toppled with a crash to the pavement.
Just how the fire started is a mystery. It was first discovered in the rear of the opera
[563]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
house, and before it burst tbrough the roof it had gained great headway. The interior of
the theatre was instantly a fiery furnace and soon lay a smoldering mass of ruins, charred
and unrecognizable.
Fascinated by the sudden calamity, and realizing what the de-
struction of this famous house means to the whole City of Syracuse,
we send out for another newspaper, and find the following paragraph
in the Post :
When the cupola fell a cloud of sparks went up fully one hundred feet into the air.
They were blown over the Erie Canal and into Clinton square, lighting up the thousands
of spectators who had gathered, as if springing from the ground. Police and firemen had
to keep watch of the buildings north of the canal to prevent stray sparks from causing seri-
ous results. The walls held intact and made a chimney for the flames.
To understand the significance to Syracuse of this morning's
startling news we must recall the span of a half-century, during which
this city has held a place of peculiar honor in the development of dra-
matic art in America. How many anxious managers have staged their
first performances in hospitable Syracuse! How many creations of
playwright and composer here were launched into great successes !
What an array of the famous artists of all lands have played and sung
to Syracuse, in many cases opening here with the unreasoning nervous
fear and the sinking of the spirit that always haunt the "first night !"
Moreover, all these dramatic associations have centred about one
building, or succession of buildings, whose site this morning lies in
ruin. Indeed, to the great company of Thespians, whose book of mem-
ories holds a golden folio for Syracuse, where the familiar boards their
"sock and buskin" have so often trod, Syracuse is the Wieting Opera
House, and the Opera House is Syracuse. And to the artists of Amer-
ica, as the telegraph flashes the tidings over the whole land, and from
the morning headlines of the daily press scattered thousands every-
where learn of the destruction of the historic theatre with which so
many of them have fond associations, will Syracuse without its Opera
House be conceivable ?
The stranger in Syracuse, walking through this town just before
the fire and unaware of the cordial support it long has given to the
stage, might have felt surprise in discovering here one of the largest,
best constructed, and best appointed buildings for dramatic art in
America. And he would have been even more amazed to recognize in
this ample theatrical building a house with an interesting genealogical
history — a structure in the third generation of an honorable line of
descent, the grandchild of the old Wieting Hall, born in Syracuse in
1851, and burned to the ground on the night of the 5th of January,
1856.
[564]
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
The fame of Syracuse with the world of players began in connec-
tion with the original Wieting Hall of 1851, and was continued in
association with the new and larger house, which soon arose from the
ashes of the first. This second building, presently experiencing exten-
sive remodelling and enlargement, received the name of the Wieting
Opera House, under which it became known far and wide throughout
the country, until, on the 23rd of March, 1881, to the dismay of a wide
circle, this theatre in turn passed away in a second and more ruinous
conflagration.
But presently — much larger and in all other respects greatly sur-
passing its predecessors — a new opera house stood up in the place of so
many associations. It was the third Wieting building, devoted to
dramatic art, to occupy the original site, and the second to arise phoe-
nix-like out of its own ashes — to perpetuate the old traditions and ac-
quire new renown under the name of the Wieting Opera House.
This third house, the account of whose sudden destruction by this
third and greatest Wieting fire has just startled us out of the pages of
our morning paper, was completed and opened to the public in Septem-
ber, 1882, with beautiful Rhea as Juliet.
The building was a triumph of theatrical art, seating 1,200 per-
sons, with superior acoustics, pleasing decorations, substantial fittings,
and excellent stage equipment. It was sought by stars of the first
magnitude, and the greatest attractions in the country appeared here
in brilliant succession. It would be interesting to call to mind the plays
and players, the operas and singers, heard in this house between its
opening night, in September, 1882, and our fateful morning of Sep-
tember 3rd, 1896. Such a review would be almost like the passing
pageant of fourteen years of the world's dramatic art. But we cannot
dwell on the past, which the fire of this morning has now terminated,
although some typical autograph appreciations of the devastated
house, by a few of the renowned players and singers who distinguished
its stage and thrilled its audiences, are reproduced with this article.
It is natural, sitting at our breakfast table, to attempt to fathom
the consternation of a whole city over this third burning down of its
chief and much-loved play-house. But what of the one soul most in-
tensely concerned in its fate?
All day long Syracuse is agitated by its one topic of thought and
conversation. Half the population of the town makes its way to the
scene of the ruin, ruefully to gaze upon the charred and desolate
wreck. But what of the soul of the woman whose property is swal-
[565]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
lowed up — the owner — Syracuse's devoted patron of the drama, whose
house of art, maintained and frequently embellished for the pleasure
and culture of the city, is no more?
During the night and morning of the fire, Mrs. Wieting, the
owner of the Opera House, slept without warning or premonition. At
length, without an inkling of anything unusual, she took up her tel-
ephone at the remorseless summons of the ubiquitous reporter.
"Is this Mrs. Wieting?"
"Yes."
"Are you going to rebuild the Opera House ?"
This is how the tidings came confusedly crashing into the dazed
mind of the public-spirited woman whose historic property, in which
she took so great an interest, had been utterly consumed. One can
imagine her reply, as soon as she could make one.
"What is it ? What do you mean ? What has happened ?"
"Why, don't you know that your Opera House burned down to the
ground this morning?"
And so she knew, without a merciful word of tactful prepara-
tion. It is safe to say that the enterprising newspaper man, who so
abruptly overwhelmed her, did not that morning get a very satisfac-
tory interview concerning the rebuilding of the Opera House. Never-
theless, the entire city had upon its heart and lips the same inquiry put
by the reporter. In the Journal of September 3, the very day of the
fire, the community's anxious questioning found a voice :
Mrs. Wieting was almost prostrated by the news of the burning of the theatre. The
maintenance of the opera house and its refurnishing last year was one of her contributions
to art. That it now lies in ruins is a severe blow. Of its rebuilding nothing can be said
now. That is a subject for the future — yet Syracuse without its Wieting opera house
would be sad to note. In an opera house it is not the financial return that is expected ; it
is rather the aid and help given to a noble art While it cannot be stated today what Mrs.
Wieting's plans will be, it is safe to say that the Wieting opera house will rise again in
a spot which seems almost sacred to Thespis.
On the next day the Standard and the Post both similarly ven-
tured to express the hopes and desire of the people. "This community
will be sincere in sympathizing with Mrs. Wieting at this time," said
the Standard. "Admitedly the rebuilding of the property, which went
down in ruins yesterday morning, would be an undertaking likely 'to
dismay most women, especially as she will be called on to determine
what the character of the new structure shall be. But whatever her
final decision is, it will doubtless be reached with due regard to public
necessity and with an abiding faith in the future of Syracuse."
"All day yesterday," said the Post, "the scene of the Wieting
[566]
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
Opera House fire was visited by curious throngs, eager to catch a
glimpse of the ruins, to exchange reminiscences of former fires and to
speculate upon the chances of a speedy rebuilding. The falling rain
made the blackened ruins a dreary sight, and the memories surround-
ing the histrionic temple gave the scene a peculiar interest.
"Mrs. Wieting, owner of the property, could make public no plans
yesterday regarding the rebuilding of the theatre. It is understood,
however, that for the third time the Wieting will rise from ruins, in
this instance more grand than ever."
She had made no announcement, so that the confident newspaper
predictions of what she would do for Syracuse had their sole justifica-
tion in the ardent desire and instinctive faith of the Editors, and in the
expectancy of the whole community which they expressed. In some
such way, I judge, the need of mankind instinctively leans upon the
Architect of all things, faith's existence being the prophet and assur-
ance of a response.
All vain I find my attempts to imagine Mrs. Wieting's dismay as
she looked for the first time upon the mangled wreck of her famous
theatre. We know that her courage was put to a great test, as she
gazed at the smoking ruin with the question concerning rebuilding
already agitating her. The preceding fires, burning much smaller
houses, had raised no tremendous problem like that confronting her,
which, if solved, must be patiently worked out solely by one woman.
As our scrapbook of newspaper clippings bears witness, she had
maintained a great and very public-spirited interest in the burned Op-
era House, lavishing large sums in decorating and equipping it, down
to the season just before the fire occurred. Now it all lay crumpled
at her feet, as if it had never been, a creation of order and beauty re-
turned to chaos. Out of the dark and tumbled mass, without form and
void, would a new and fairer creation issue forth ? Probably not even
her spirit, brooding over the ruin, could at this time tell.
Her first step was to send a generous cheque to the firemen who
had labored so strenuously to save the beloved building. Her next act
was to set men to work to clear away the debris from the historic site.
All that passed through her heart and mind during this period of gath-
ering resolution perhaps she herself could not begin to recount. She
was contemplating the possibility of replacing the structure, her cour-
age gaining poise and accumulating strength.
Meanwhile Syracuse and the Thespian world were on tenterhooks
of doubt and expectation. "There will be a handsome new theatre in
[567]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Syracuse," the Herald of that city prophesied on September 18, "even
more magnificent than the theatre destroyed by fire. It will be larger
in stage and auditorium ; it will have the benefit of all modern im-
provements; its building will be planned and supervised by eminent
architects and workmen." But all this was entirely premature, the
wish being a very anxious father to the thought.
"It is somewhat unsettled whether the famous old historical Op-
era 'House, the Wieting, will be rebuilt," said the mouthpiece of stage-
dom, the New York Dramatic Mirror, of November 7, 1896. "Mrs.
Wieting is a great traveler, having visited almost every city in the
world, and in so doing has seen all the great theatres, and being a close
student of art, should she conclude to build, would no doubt eclipse
anything in that line seen in this country. If she decides to rebuild, it
will be a monument to her memory and dramatic art, rather than a
financial investment. The great army of traveling Thespians vie with
the public of Syracuse in hoping that she will rebuild the famous
amusement temple."
In January expectation was fully revived by the appearance in
Syracuse of Mr. Oscar Cobb, theatrical architect of Chicago and the
designer of the burned Opera House ; and every encouragement to
good works that newspaper men could think of promptly issued from
the editorial sanctum. "That Wieting Opera House was to be rebuilt
and opened at the commencement of next season would be welcome
news for the people of Syracuse," said the Standard on the Qth of Jan-
uary. The Journal, of the same date, declared : "Speculation as to the
rebuilding of the Wieting Opera House has been aroused by the pres-
ence in town of Mr. Oscar Cobb of Chicago, the architect of the
burned opera house. There are many personal acquaintances of Mrs.
J. M. Wieting who fully believe that an opera house of greater mag-
nificence and practicality will replace the old one and will bear the
name of Wieting. They are the ones who know her true love of art,
and that she would make many sacrifices in order to contribute to that
love. They appreciate what it really means to sacrifice a good busi-
ness property for the lesser returns of a domain of amusement, and
have faith in their belief."
The Courier of January II added its encouraging voice. "The
probable rebuilding of Wieting Opera House," it said, "on the site of
the structure which was burned last September will be regarded with
lively interest by Syracusans, particularly by those who have reached
or passed middle life. For ever since they were old enough to witness
[568]
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
a dramatic or musical performance, there has been a Wieting Opera
House in Syracuse. Many of our citizens, who as children were taken
by their parents to one of the three theatres in the Wieting block, have
in turn taken their own children to Wieting Opera House, and the
theatres which bore the name of Wieting have therefore been closely
identified with the institutions of Syracuse for the past thirty-five
years.''
But having quietly resolved, if possible, to undertake unaided the
great task of bringing forth a greater and more beautiful Opera
House, Mrs. Wieting simply took time to probe every difficulty, weigh
every possibility, count every cost, and provide for every detail. About
January 20 she could thus permit an announcement to anxious Syra-
cuse which was neither vague nor halting, but business-like and
altogether reassuring. "The Journal," declared that newspaper, "has
the authority of those best qualified to speak that the Wieting Opera
House is to be rebuilt. The opening of the next theatrical season will
see the fruition of the plans for one of the handsomest opera houses
in the country. It is proposed by Mrs. Wieting to have a seating capac-
ity of at least 2,000. To build such an opera house as she desires,
Architect Cobb will bring his vast knowledge of European and Amer-
ican theatres."
"We may anticipate a Wieting Opera House, grander than ever,
to arise from the ruins in West Water Street and open its doors to the
public next September. It is well," said the Herald. While the Courier
declared: "It has been definitely decided by Mrs. Wieting that the
Wieting Opera House, which was burned the early part of last Sep-
tember, will be rebuilt, probably in time for the opening of the next
theatrical season. This definite statement will be hailed with pleasure,
alike by Syracusans and theatrical people in general. Mr. Cobb had
with him many plans for a new playhouse, but they did not come up
to the ideas entertained by Mrs. Wieting, and he has returned to Chi-
cago with instructions to prepare final plans and estimates.
"The new Opera House will be larger in every way than the for-
mer structure. Adjoining property is to be acquired. Th.e stage will
be made much larger than the one in the old building and will be made
to accommodate the most modern scenery and elaborate stage settings
and machinery."
"Architect Cobb," the Courier stated a few days later, "has made
the plans for and constructed more theatres than any other human
being on the face of the globe. His record up to date is 150 theatres.
[569]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Mrs. Wieting, however, is likely to have ideas of her own in the con-
struction of her new theatre, which is to be made absolutely fire-proof.
She has travelled very extensively in foreign countries and visited the
splendid theatres in all the leading capitals of Europe, and the results
of her observation and judgment are likely to be incorporated in the
architecture, construction, and ornamentation of her new theatre."
From this time on, every phase revealed in the rapidly developing
plans, and every item of the arrangements proposed for the adornment
of the house, were hailed with deepening interest and profound satis-
faction. Over the old ruin a magical work of new creation was under
way, and every beam was laid amid a chorus of congratulation. The
newspapers were the choristers, leading the voice of comment of a
rejoicing city. "Mrs. Wieting has entered upon the scheme with great
care and study," the Herald said. "She is keeping her promise to give
the city one of the finest playhouses on this continent. She is, there-
fore, deserving of the fullest praise of the people of this city." "It
has been her ambition to give to Syracuse one of the finest theatres
in America," said the Post. "She is actuated," the Courier declared,
"not so much by a desire to benefit in a monetary or a commercial
sense, as by a determination to give Syracuse an opera house worthy
of the demands of the city. There are very few people in Syracuse
who have done or who will do more for the city."
Said the Courier again : "An inspection of the plans shows that
it will be one of the finest theatres, not alone in this country, but in the
world. Mrs. Wieting herself has made many suggestions regarding
the new structure, and her artistic taste will be largely exemplified in
the ornamentation and adornment of the new opera house.
"The interior will be constructed of iron and steel. There will be
no boxes on the first or orchestra floor, but the entire space will be
given over to commodious orchestra chairs. An innovation will be
made in the construction of an entresol or half balcony — which will be
one of the most novel and striking features of the new opera house.
The entresol will be provided with divans, seating two persons, and
Turkish divans will surround the columns. In the rear of the divans
will be ample space for a promenade, and off from the entresol will be
located retiring rooms, cloak rooms, smoking rooms, and flower
rooms.
"This entresol will be the fashionable centre of attraction. A
great deal of space that could be utilized for seats is sacrificed to make
room for a grand promenade foyer for the accommodation of the
[570]
A NOTABLE- ACHIEVEMENT
patrons of the house, — something entirely new and greatly to be de-
sired. There are but three tiers of seats in the entresol, the foyer
occupying all the rest of the floor to the front wall. Over the lobby
there will be an opening, making the lobby and foyer practically in
one. About this opening there will be a balustrade, and the promenade
will extend entirely around it.
''The balcony will be located in the second story proper, will be
spacious and roomy, and will be provided with the best seats in the
country. In the third story is located the gallery proper.
"In the arrangement of its lights the new -Wieting promises to
surpass every theatre in the country. The great advancement in elec-
tric lighting from a decorative standpoint is turned to account all over
the house. The ceilings of the lobby and the foyer will be studded
with electric lights like stars. Each one of the steel panels of the main
ceiling will be illuminated, and the mouldings of the boxes will be
similarly treated. There will be no glare or blaze of light, but perfect
illumination in harmony with the artistic interior."
Again we learn that "the new Wieting will be filled with improve-
ments to delight the eye and minister to the comfort of its patrons.
The grand lobby will be panelled in Sienna marble, with a mosaic floor
and ceiling." Another newspaper announced that "the style of the
auditorium will be Italian renaissance and Louis XV modernized,
while the ornamentations will be in the style of the first Empire."
The New York Dramatic Mirror kept the Thespian world in-
formed of "the new Wieting Opera House, Syracuse, now being
erected. When completed," it declared, "this house promises to be one
of the most elegant amusement resorts in America. Every detail of
its construction is being looked after by its sole owner, Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Wieting, who will dedicate it to art and the dramatic pro-
fession as a lasting monument to her name." A little later it
announced: "Phoenix-like, this famous historical amusement resort
has risen from the ashes and will stand as a monument to its builder,
as the handsomest amusement resort on the American continent, the
only strictly first-class house in the city, with a seating capacity a third
more than the largest other theatre between New York and Chicago."
I do not know what dreams were destroyed, what life-plans were
cancelled or altered, when Mrs. Wieting dedicated herself to the crea-
tion of her new Opera House. Certainly the destruction of the old,
and the need for the new house, came upon her suddenly, without fore-
warning. This coming event cast no shadow before. Whatever other
[57i]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
great work she may have projected, an unexpected task imperatively
called her, and she achieved the work out of the rich capacity which
her entire life had gradually gathered together for its purpose. When
she accepted the labor, she threw herself into its accomplishment with
the noble generosity of a devoted soul. There is no evidence that she
could have been more zealous had her whole life been conscious of
preparation for this work.
We are what we have become. A call comes to us ; our faculties,
our gifts, our resources, are requisitioned. Too often we fail through
lack of courage, or absence of the energy of unselfishness. Sometimes
we respond, as Mrs. Wieting did, and taste achievement triumphant
as hers.
Women and men have written of the .exquisite pleasure of build-
ing a home — of measuring one's dreams, projecting them in architect-
ural design, and watching them grow to material form. But how often
is it given to a woman to create a great public work? If Mrs. Wieting
should write her sensations, her joy, her fears, her pleasures, her vex-
ations, as her great conception began to take shape in mind and heart,
to define itself in plans and drawings, to grow into the strength of
steel and iron, and to reveal itself in beauty of form and color, her
experience would make an intensely interesting human document.
A woman's soul was expressing itself in the creation of this house,
and as the work progressed and took beautiful shape some sense of this,
—of the revelation of spirit-character in this work of mind and heart,—
began to dawn even upon the matter-of-fact newspaper man. "The
problem whether women are as capable of transacting business, man-
aging large enterprises of commercial or industrial character, has been
satisfactorily demonstrated in Syracuse," said the Standard, early in
July. "Syracuse women of prominence have built large blocks and
apartment houses, and, in one notable instance, at least, constructed
and controlled an opera house. Mrs. Wieting, in the management of
the large estate entrusted to her care, has demonstrated the possession
of very rare business ability and executive capacity. Both in the recon-
struction and the ornamentation of the theatre that burned a year ago,
and of the splendid temple of the drama being erected to take its place,
she held the guiding and executive hand. While to the architect,
builders, and designers are left the carrying out of the details of con-
struction and ornamentation, yet all features are submitted to her and
must gain her approval before their adoption. She exercises the same
care and supervision over her large estate, and at the same time finds
[572]
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
opportunity for travel and for literary pursuits, such as few citizens
avail themselves of."
As the Opera House approached completion, disclosing glories of
structure, plan, and decoration far surpassing expectation, its details
were celebrated in a constant chant of praise in the newspapers. We
here can do little more than give a very faint suggestion from the head-
lines : "Best in the Land," "Triumph of Builders' Art," "Its Scenic
Beauty," "Interior of the Magnificent New Playhouse Begins to As-
sume Its Form," "Surprises for Syracusans in the Opening," "Finest
of Playhouses," "Its Beauty Spots," "The New Wieting Richly Decor-
ated," "Final Artistic Touches," "The Opera House Is a Marvel of
Beauty," "One of the Grandest Theatres in This Country," "Mrs.
Wieting Has Suggested Various Changes Which Have Added to the
Beauty and Convenience of the House," "Lights and Decorations All
Unite in Making the General Interior Effect More Pleasing Than
Ever Before Attempted Here," "System of Ventilation Is Perfect and
Will Make the Theatre Comfortable Even in Spectacular Plays." I
add a few typical extracts, in hope of conveying some idea of the im-
pression made upon an entire city by this beautiful gift of a house of
art:
The interior effects are beginning to show the most artistic colorings. The asbestos
curtain arrived this morning. Word has been received from Mr. Hugh Logan Reid, the
artist, that the drop curtain will be finished at least a week before the Opera House opening.
He says that he has painted thirty-seven curtains, and this is the largest he has ever worked
upon. Mr. Otto H. Armbruster, the scenic artist of New York, is loud in his praises of the
size of the stage. He says it is the largest he has ever painted scenery for, and is complete
in every way. There is width, height, and room to handle any New York production. The
panels for the proscenium arch have arrived here, and will soon be placed. They are in
keeping with the taste shown throughout the building, in the selection of subjects and
artists. .
The new Wieting Opera House, the finest in the'land, they say, will be formally opened
one week from Wednesday. The opera house will be as large as the largest New York
theatre; and it will differ from every New York theatre in one important feature — the
entresol. The glories of the new theatre are already apparent. .
A press view of the house, with all the lights turned on, was given th/ough the courtesy
of Mrs. Wieting last evening. The effect of the theatre under the strong light is most
resplendent. .
The verandah is lighted with 170 electric lamps and signs. The windows are of plate
and stained glass, prettily ornamented. The entrance doors of copper lead to a lobby or
vestibule that is a positive revelation, and will give the spectator an appetite for the beauties
of the interior. It is floored with Italian mosaic tile. The color effect is a beautiful shade
of green, with silver relief, the walls being of marble. An opening above gives a glimpse
of the entresol ceiling, which is resplendent with electric lights and jewels. .
The garniture of the house is in excellent taste, Mrs. Wieting having selected the colors
and quality throughout. The draperies are in silk and velvet of various hues, richly har-
monized. .
The color-scheme carried out in the wall decorations and draperies is rich in its com-
bination. Gold and rose are the predominant colors, and, beautiful as the combination is
ly itself, it is made royal under the influence of hundreds of softly blended lights. Beyond
[573]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
the foyer, on the main floor, the full beauty of the interior reveals itself. The place will be
gorgeous in rose and gold. The color and decorations of the walls, the graceful drapings
of the rich material used in the hangings, the grand draperies of the proscenium arch,
which are a beautiful combination of old gold and rose, all go to make up a beautiful scene.
The carpets on the main floor, back of the seats and in the aisles, are of a dark rose color,
while the seats are upholstered in moss green plush. .
Mrs. Mary E. Wieting, the sole owner of the new Wieting Opera House, has set forth
every possible effort to erect a theatre that would not only prove handsome, elegant, and
convenient, but please the public. The original plans, from time to time, have been materially
altered, and alterations which she suggested have been made to advantage. .
It would be easy to start a turgid flow of rapturous adjectives descriptive of the new
Wieting Opera House, which with to-night's opening again becomes a function of Syracuse, —
say, rather, a continuation of a historic theatre, the course of which has so often been
interrupted by fire. But of what profit? Every visitor to the opera house this evening will
be more or less surprised, the degree of surprise dependent entirely upon taste. Fire has
accomplished more than clarification ; it has given Syracuse a theatre that is not only up to
date, but ahead of the time. How far ahead is to be gauged by public taste, and the imi-
tation in other theatres, for public benefit, of decided innovations accomplished in this.
Is the entresol ahead of the time? Syracuse society must in a measure be responsible
for the decision. If it takes to and appreciates this delightful tete-i-tete and family affair,
other cities will venture upon the idea.
The whole effect of the theatre is quiet, studiously so, the light reflections and coloring
comprehending the merging of orange and buff with a heavier basis which is almost a nature
copy for its greens and deep red blossom colors. It is an effect often sought in a gallery
for the better study of a picture, — and why not in a theatre, if a theatre is but primarily the
setting of animated pictures?
Just a word as to foyer and auditorium. The vestibule is floored in Italian mosaic tile,
the theatre name surrounding a design, the burden of which is music. Wainscoted with
vert antique marble, with also green base and brackets, the effect is resplendent and heavy.
Right over the vestibule is an artistic opening to the entresol promenade, which gives a balcony
effect and should prove a feature. Entrance doors of copper with revolving storm doors
are faced with the inner doors of bronze. The opening is direct upon the orchestra floor,
as the future will know no parquet circle in the opera house. The orchestra chairs are
comfortable to look upon and to sit in, and the colorings are of a dark rich green. Two
broad flights of stairs lead to the entresol, or intermediate floor between orchestra and balcony.
These are heavily carpeted. The cushioning of the entresol is in old gold silk plush, the
first row being of single chairs and the two rear rows of double seats or divans. Sofas,
divans, and mirrors complete an artistic environment. The entresol tier ends have six
boxes, the balcony ends four boxes, and the gallery ends two boxes. In the entresol tier
is located the special box of Mrs. Wieting, so arranged that it may become a single or double
box by the removal of rods at her pleasure. The balcony chairs are in olive velours plush,
and the gallery, which has an open appearance by reason of the arches, contains not a seat
but that has full view of stage and orchestra. .
The new Wieting Opera House is the tribute to art of Mrs. J. M. Wieting, a woman
who has taken active and substantial interest in the city's progress and its history. Mrs.
Wieting is the youngest daughter of Hon. Samuel Plumb of Homer, N. Y., who died in
Homer December 10, 1878. He devoted himself to the practice of law for many years in
Chenango county, where he resided previous tp his removal to Homer, N. Y. He was an
active politician and devoted io the old Whig party. He held "the office of postmaster at
Pitcher, Chenango county, during a period of twenty years. He was repeatedly elected to
the office of justice of the peace and various other public offices. He was elected represen-
tative to the State Legislature in 1840, which was an important period in our political history.
He was ever a zealous advocate of all measures promising advancement to public interests.
The mother of Mrs. Wieting was the daughter of Col. William Coley, whose father canie
from England to America while William was still a youth. He enlisted as a soldier in the
Revolutionary War while a mere youth, acquiring the rank of Colonel in the Vermont militia.
He was one of the company interested in the Vermont coinage following the close of the
Revolutionary War, and the records of the time indicate that he cut the dies from which the
Vermont pennies were made, having learned the trade of silversmith from his father. He
was also one of the founders of the Grand Lodge of Vermont and its first presiding officer.
[574]
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
The closing years of his life were spent in Otselic, Chenango county, N. Y., where he died in
November, 1843. Mrs. Wieting's father removed to Homer, N. Y., principally for the purpose
of educating his children. There Mrs. Wieting entered Cortland Academy, at the time one
of the leading institutions of learning in the country, the curriculum being most exhaustive
and thorough. She was graduated with the highest honors. She is an accomplished linguist,
speaking French fluently, is an accurate observer, and has traveled extensively in all parts of
the world. She is a frequent contributor to the press of Syracuse and to other papers of the
State, both in prose and poetry. After the death of her husband, Dr. J. M. Wieting, she
wrote a sketch of his life, together with a history of their tour around the world, which was
published in book form by G. P. Putnam's Sons of New York, solely for private distribution.
It is a volume of 250 pages, handsomely illustrated, and received most flattering endorsement
by the press. A copy was sent to the Woman's library of the World's Fair at Chicago, and
afterward removed to the State Library at Albany- In the winter of 1893 Mrs. Wieting pre-
sented to the College of Medicine of Syracuse University the extensive and valuable lecturing
apparatus used by her husband during his public career — the most complete outfit of the kind
ever owned in this country. A little more than a year ago she donated to Syracuse University
a three years' scholarship.
And now at length it is Saturday evening, September 18, 1897,
the night of "the opening of the most beautiful playhouse that Syra-
cuse has ever seen." "The Wedding Day'' has the honor of the open-
ing performance, a light opera by Stanislaus Stange and Julian Ed-
wards, to be rendered by a tri-star company..
The doors are open, and at the hour the culture, wealth and
fashion of Syracuse are thronging into the new house, rustling into
their seats and boxes, exclaiming, lingering, trying to take in the soft
and amazing beauty of arrangement, form and color, wreathed around
them. The effect of this splendor, for the first time felt, we will let a
contemporaneous newspaper witness attempt to describe:
A description in words fails properly to explain the magnificence of the new playhouse.
The Wieting of to-day is in wonderful contrast with the old theatre, palatial as that was.
The soft toned coloring and the excellence of every detail combine to form a harmony of
color and light that is attractive in the extreme. Add to this the arrangements for the com-
fort of the audiences, and the facilities for producing plays, and the place is a model of its
kind.
Those who were frequent patrons of the former Wieting will notice at once the immense
change that has taken place, although the ensemble cannot be taken in at a glance, nor at a
dozen, for that matter. The broad expanse of seats, unencumbered with heavy balconies and
troublesome posts, is something unusual even in these days of ideal theatrical architecture.
The lower floor is devoid of obstruction and has a colossal array of seats ; the entresol
is without posts and has three rows of as enticing chairs and sofas as can be found in any
theatre in the country, with a luxurious foyer in the rear; the balcony has but four slender
posts, and those are placed so that no person's vision can be obstructed.
But we now are in the presence of something far greater than the
house itself. The house is lovely in its own right, and just now is most
brilliant with the life it was created to receive and serve. The record-
ing reporter will next morning tell us that "such an audience has never
before in the city's history graced a like performance — outdoing any
other assemblage called together under such a roof."
[575]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Is not a beautiful symbol now unfolding itself before us? A dis-
cerning critic has already noticed, in the whole scheme of the house,
almost a copy of nature, with "its greens and deep red blossom colors."
What, then, shall we call it? Garden, miniature world ? And the life,
which it was created to entertain and develop, has crowded in, filling
the scene with animation. It is not quite true, as Shakespeare said,
that
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players."
We also are audience — onlookers from our respective places in
boxes, parquet, balcony, and pit. Players and play-goers, all are at
their posts to-night ; the stage- folk sing ; the audience listens ; the gar-
den-like house is a-throb with life. This is the crowning hour for
which one woman planned and toiled and waited.
And now the curtain goes up ; "The Wedding Day" begins. "The
performance was in keeping with the occasion," declares the reporter.
"It was the offering of Lillian Russell, Delia Fox, and Jefferson De
Angelis, all of whom, it was plain to be seen, were inspired by the
environment to uncommon efforts."
Under the intoxication of this most brilliant of first nights one
scribe grows eloquently reminiscent, recalling Mark Smith and Laura
Keene, Joseph Jefferson, Sol Smith Russell, John Gilbert, Osmond
Tearle, Rose Coghlan, Charles Fechter, George Rignold, "the great
Italian tragedian, Rossi, conceded to be a greater artist than Salvini,"
the singers, Aimee and Marie Geistingers, and a host of others who
played and sang in the old Wieting houses.
What a world of great artists have strutted their brief hours upon the Wieting stages in
the past! [he writes.] Perhaps the stage of no one theatre in the country has witnessed the
efforts of a greater number of the world's geniuses in modern times. Edwin Forrest, in the
ripeness of his powers, has been heard upon this stage thundering King Lear's curse upon his
ungrateful daughters, and as Virginius hurling anathemas at the head of the Roman decemvir
as he killed his fair daughter, Virginia, to save her from Appius Claudius's vile embraces.
Who that heard Ristori denounce the virgin queen in Fotheringay park can ever forget the
powerful invective, the very acme of tragic effort, upon this same stage? Edwin Booth's
unrivaled Hamlet and lago have been seen there, while E. L. Davenport's Brutus and Damon,
and Lawrence Barrett's Cassius will "live in memory while it holds a seat on this distracted
globe." John McCullough, too, will live long in the hearts of those who knew him and re-
member him fondly for his fine impersonations of the legitimate roles of the drama and for
his gentle, lovable nature as well. Upon this same stage Sarah Bernhardt first thrilled a
Syracuse audience by her wonderful performance of Camille, and Helena Modjeska acted
there months before New York ever looked on her and contemplated her exquisite art. Mary
Anderson and Julia Marlowe first played Parthenia on the Wieting stage, and the remem-
brance of these performances can never be effaced. It was on the Wieting stage also that
Adelaide Neilson gave Syracusans the greatest personation of Shakespeare's Rosalind ever
seen by them. Henry Irving filled an engagement of three nights at the Wieting. All these
-artists were real geniuses. The comedians of the world have also strutted their hour upon the

THE FORMER WIETING OPERA HOUSE
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
Wieting stage and some of them are seen no more. There it was that Hackett, the immortal,
first played Falstaff in Syracuse, and the like of this great comic creation has never since
been seen. There, too, the elder Sothern presented his matchless performance of Lord Dun-
dreary, and John L. Toole, the great English comedian, appeared in favorite roles. Who that
ever saw it can ever forget the Rover of Edwin Adams, or the Solon Shingle of John E.
Owens? Long before their day John S. Clarke had convulsed Syracuse audiences with laugh-
ter, and C. W. Couldock had drawn tears from their eyes as well as excited their risibilities
by his wonderful performance in "The Willow Copse." Of the great foreign artists who
have been seen on the Wieting stage, next to Bernhardt, the elder Salvini made the greatest
impression in "The Gladiator," while in lyric drama such world-renowned artistes as Adelina
and Carlotta Patti, Adelaide Phillips, Christine Nilsson, Etelka Gerster, Minnie Hauk, Clara
Louise Kellogg, lima De Murska, Annie Louise Gary, Mme. Anna Bishop, Pauline L'Alle-
mand, Wachtel, Mario, Brignoli, Campanini, world-renowned tenors, and Nanette, Del Puenti,
Galassi, Carl Farmes, Myron W. Whitney, and Sher Campell, bassos and baritones of con-
ceded fame, have delighted the music-loving people of Syracuse. Shall we ever see the like
again in our day and generation of these world-famed artists who have performed on the
Wieting stage?
Yet were this illustrious company all present here to-night, enter-
taining us with their cleverest parts, still should we be in the presence
of something greater than all their art. This the great audience
instinctively feels, and as the curtain falls at the end of the first act
there arises a prolonged cheering, with loud calls, and two thousand
pairs of eyes are all turned toward the owner's box. "It was a pretty
scene as Mrs. Wieting arose in her box and bowed in response to the
ovation given her." But the cheering, the calling of her name, grow
louder and louder, more incessant, more insistent. The audience has
arisen to its real part for the evening and cannot be denied. Radiantly
she rises, steps to the front of the box, gracefully bows to every part
of the house, and retires. Instantly the tide rises higher and beats
more irrepressibly. For the third time she acknowledges the splendid
ovation. It is in vain. They must hear her voice. A thunderous
surge, well known to theatre-goers, is lifting itself up through the
house, from floor to ceiling, and sweeping across the animated sea of
faces with overwhelming insistence, *a call of affectionate fervor that
will not be denied. And so coerced she steps forward for the fourth
time, compelled to speak and about to pour out, as one scribe had the
sense to recognize, "the real dedication of the new opera house."
Now at length we are before the real greatness and mystery of
this beautiful art-temple. "He who hath builded the house hath more
honor than the house." Far greater than the lovely house she has built
is the woman, the soul, the spirit, the creator of the house.
Do we always think of this, in an age of materialism? In the
great play-house and work-temple in which we live, have we not some-
times "worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator,
Who is blessed for ever ?" And are we not prone to be more occupied
[593]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
with the little actors on our stage than with the Great Actor Who
created the house? So also too often, I think, we pay homage to the
utility of the works of our fingers more than to the mystery and mar-
vel of the human spirit that through such frail hands, feet, lips, eyes,
and brain, so wonclrously creates.
Out of the eyes of the woman now standing before us shine the
real soul and spirit of the new Opera House. The creator of this great
poem, which recites its cantos all about us, written in words of beauty
and light, of iron and stone, of wood and gold, of lovely furniture and
exquisite draperies, is about to tell us how she came to compose her
masterpiece.
"When I stood among the ruins of the burned Opera House a
little more than a year ago," said Mrs. Wieting, "my courage failed
me as I contemplated the rebuilding of the structure. But after much
deliberation I finally decided to -rebuild the opera house. I also
decided that I would build a fire-proof theatre — and that I would build
a larger theatre — one which should meet the requirements of a city
much larger than Syracuse at present. To that end I purchased addi-
tional property, enlarging the stage and the auditorium. I also decided
that I would build an opera house more beautiful and costly than the
old one — one which should be commensurate with the wealth and cul-
ture of our beautiful city. My aim was high ! If I have fallen short,
it is not through lack of persistent endeavor to attain my ideal. The
great fire wall which formed the dividing line between the Wieting
Block and the Opera House remained intact after the fire, and now
forms the eastern wall of the new theatre.
"It perhaps is unnecessary to state here that the successful com-
pletion of this theatre within so short a time, — which must be patent
to everyone, — is largely due to Mr. Oscar Cobb, the theatrical arch-
itect, who has labored unremittingly ever since the first foundation
stone was laid. He was the architect of the burned opera house, and
he took a personal interest in the replacing of the theatre on account of
its old associations.
"I also desire here publicly to express my appreciation of the
faithfulness of my coadjutors in the carrying on of this work — Messrs.
R. A. Bonta, President of the New York State Banking Company, and
also attorney of the Wieting estate, and George W. Garrett, agent of
the estate. By their constant oversight, valuable advice, and wise and
practical suggestions they have materially aided in the successful com-
pletion of this work. And Mr. Amos Mason, the veteran contractor
[594]
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
and builder, must not be overlooked, who has once more, and that for
the third time, rebuilt the Wieting Opera House. I will not say that
I hope he will live long enough to build another, because you see this
theatre is fire-proof, but I express the hope that his long, honorable,
and useful career in this city may yet be extended many years. And
to all others present, who have materially aided in the completion of
the new Wieting Opera House, my acknowledgements are due.
"I desire to thank this audience for the interest which you have
evinced in me and my work by your presence here this evening and by
this most courteous and cordial greeting."
One newspaper spoke of this address as follows: "Mrs. Wie-
ting's brief speech from her box on the occasion of the opening of the
splendid new Opera House Wednesday night was a model of good
taste and of elocutionary effort as well. Her voice was pitched on a
low key, yet so distinct was her articulation and enunciation that every
word which she uttered was distinctly heard in every part of the
house. Her emphasis and inflections were also admirable and one could
hardly imagine that she had not been trained by long practice in elocu-
tionary effort.
"Mrs. Wieting has had some practice in this direction through her
lectures on travels, etc., delivered by her in this city, but her efforts
on the occasion of the opening of the theatre were spontaneous and
inventive and, it need hardly be said, were deeply impressive. Orators
of reputation could study the speech and the method of its delivery to
advantage."
But what deeply moved and impressed all hearers was the matter
of her address, the heart and substance within the reserve of her few
and simple words — the motive of her generous gift, her desire to serve
art and her city, to build amply and thoroughly, anticipating the com-
munity's development for a long time to come, and providing against
the chances of destruction so far as man can do so. In all these things,
and in all the beauty and perfection lavished upon her work, she had
simply expressed herself, her heart, her mind, her culture ; and the
revelation stood not in her words, but materially bodied forth to every
eye in the house of beauty she had built.
The woman who in the Wieting Opera House revealed so much of
the hidden creative power and capacity for beauty of a human soul,
had in various ways before revealed many lesser glimpses of her qual-
ities. Her generous devotion to art and culture were well known. Her
lectures had been full of fertile thought, charmingly expressed.
[595]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Newspapers often contained her graceful fancies in verse, and fre-
quently printed her delightful letters, written from all parts of the
world. I give here a few brief but typical passages from her pen,
believing that their deeply appreciative and strongly imaginative sense
of natural form and color will help us to understand why beauty of
form and color came so remarkably to pervade the opera house she
created. The following is from her "Indian Summer:"
In yonder wood the stately pines
Stand boldly out, their verdant lines
Making sharp contrast with the deciduous trees,
Whose sparse-decked, straggling branches in the breeze
Flaunt their banner's gorgeous dyes
Toward the gray and sullen skies;
The air is filled with driving mist and rain,
Sending a sudden chill through every vein ;
Who can be merry when all nature weeps?
For Summer sleeps
The last long sleep.
But list ! There's the rustle of light garments
O'er the fallen leaves,
And 'mongst the bare fields' garnered sheaves ;
Who comes ? the Indian Summer, deemed more fair and sweet
Than that just gone — because more fleet;
The native red man, so the legend runs,
Deemed this fair child of waning summer suns
Sent by the beneficent god of the bland southwest,
Bearing blessing and balm for the world's unrest,
A gift direct
From Cautantowwit.
All nature does her honor ; handmaids true !
Unfurl the arching broidered canopy of blue.
Trees ! haste your brilliant banners spread
Beneath her light foot's dainty tread!
More royal carpet never yet by queen was trod,
More royal sceptre never held than golden rod ;
Sun ! swing your shining censers through the air,
Shedding o'er all a glow most rich and rare !
[5961
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
Adown the horizon, to mellow haze, it pales,
Enshrouding distant vales
In gauzy sheen.
And thus she sits on gorgeous -throne,
Fair daughter of sweet Summer gone.
But lol-even now she turns for flight;
The soft smiling glance changing to pale affright,
As with sombre wind-swept banners, with helmet plume and
shield,
With rush and roar the Storm King comes,
Spreading his troops afield —
In armor clad from top to toe,
Spears set for battle with the foe,
If foe there was, she's vanished, she needs must go
When north winds blow ;
Frail Indian Summer.
*
The following lines are on "April:"
Though you come with rush and roar,
Flinging snowf lakes at my door,
Well I know that frowning face
Soon will wear a smile of grace;
Smile of sunshine, laugh of rill,
Trickling, tinkling down the hill.
Snowdrifts pierced unto the heart,
Through and through with sun's bright dart-
Forming fairy caves and hollows
In the snowdrifts; quick there follows
Swift destruction, and a flood
Of turbid water where snowdrifts stood.
Slumbering Mother Earth now feeling
Throughout all her veins the healing
Influence, stirs from her long sleep,
From her slumber long and deep ;
Stirs and whispers to her children,
To the crocus and the trillium,
[597]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Wake, my children, wake from slumber,
List sweet messages without number ;
Lift your pretty heads about me,
For I cannot live without thee.
Though I'm brown and wrinkled still,
Loiter not — bright daffodil;
And I'll haste to don my mantle,
Don my wonderful green mantle,
Fine and filmy and gemmed with dew,
Ne'er was mantle of lovelier hue.
Haste ! the blue sky bends above us ;
Haste! the sunbeams dearly love us,
And in sheltering arms will hold us,
In a warm embrace will fold us,
Shield us from the icy chill
Which steals from snowdrifts on the hill.
The following poem is entitled "A May Snow Storm :*'
I stood in a great fruit orchard,
With apple, cherry and pear
And plum trees grouped all about me,
And the perfume filled the air
Of their burden of snow white blossoms —
A vision of natural beauty most rare.
My feet were buried in grasses
New sprung from earth's crust so brown ;
Tall dandelions nodded around me
Their gold disks changing to down
So white, so light, so fleecy and feathery,
It formed for each stem a most wondrous crown.
The bees droned 'mid the blossoms ;
Bright rays of the sun overhead
Came sifting down through the tree-tops,
Till the quivering light was spread
In great sheets of gold flecked with shadows,
Which formed, for dead blossoms, a royal bed.
[598]
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
But the hush of this May morning
Is soon broken — strong breezes rise,
Tree-tops are bending and swaying
'Neath the now fast darkening skies;
While low down in the thick set branches
Birds seek shelter, with instinct so wise.
The air is filled with strange snow-flakes,
Most wondrous in form and hue ;
White petals, at base showing faintly
Soft tints so tender and true
To the greatest of alchemists — Nature —
That I marvel o'ermuch as I view
Them — flying, floating and falling
In the gloom just now o'erspread
By swift-sailing clouds 'cross the sunlight,
Making dark the once glowing bed
Where dead blossoms lie ; while dandelions nigh
Toss their white feathery crowns o'er my head.
Thus I watch this mimic snow storm,
Whose perfume fills all the air
Of this glad morning in spring-time,
When the world is passing fair.
As it ceases — behold the green tree-tops
With fruit buds are gemmed, but of blossoms are bare.
The lines following are on "The Scent of the Lilacs:"
The scent of the lilacs floats in at the door; ,
Sunlight and shadow chequer the floor;
With homely tasks busy all the day long
Is the dear patient mother in those days long agone,
While outside the birds yield their burden of song.
The scent of the lilacs floats in at the door;
Sunlight and shadow chequer the floor;
Close under the eaves are young birds in the nest,
But mother's chair's empty — she's forever at rest
Under the lilac tree, with its plumes on her breast.
[599]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
In the thronged city streets so dusty and gray,
A flower-girl calls "sweet lilacs," in the fair month of May;
A man bent with years and the burden of care,
With time's frosty touch on his silvered hair,
Notes the flower vender's call — buys the blossoms so rare.
But as he inhales their perfume so sweet,
Lo, the city streets vanish ; — and with bare boyish feet
He bounds o'er the meadows, to the low cottage door,
His mother's dear face smiles a welcome once more,
While the scent of the lilacs floats in as of yore.
The vision has vanished: — with tear-moistened eyes
The man hastens on, but his inmost soul cries,
Oh, home of my childhood ! no spot the world o'er
To me half so sweet as that low open door !
When the scent of the lilacs floats in as of yore.
Thus the scent of a flower — a musical strain-
Oft peoples the shadows with loved faces again ;
Oft quickens the heart-throbs with a thrill half of pain ;
Divine gift of memory! a safeguard from Heaven,
For the soul tried and tempted — storm-tossed and riven.
The following is from her account of the Coronation of King
Edward in the summer of 1902 : "The position of honor was given to
the Canadians, who were conspicuous in dark uniforms with gold
edgings ; then the Australians, and after them with bewildering rapid-
ity there filed past us New Zealanders, wearing in their sombreros a
huri feather ; Ceylonese from Singapore, with bright blue turbans ;
Chinese from Hongkong, wearing flat Chinese s'traw hats ; Egyptians,
the King's South African Rifles, ebony skinned, with dark red f ezzes ;
Malays, contingents from Jamaica, Trinidad, the gold coast ; even the
Fiji Islands sent their quota to do honor to the Crown; they lent a
grotesque element to the brilliant spectacle.
"The troops felt keenly the pangs of disappointment in not being
able to see their King; carriages containing squads of them might be
seen driving about in the vicinity of the palace.
"The curious, quaint Fiji Islanders drove past with many a wistful
glance at the windows of the palace, finally asking permission to sing
in front of the palace.
"The picture they presented was undoubtedly the strangest ever
seen in London ; barelegged, barefooted, a white strip of cloth wound
[600]

round the loins, a coarse blue kersey tunic, and their heads looking like
a huge circular street-sweeping brush, the hair standing out stiff all
around about an eighth of a yard long and dyed a bright yellow in con-
trast with their black skins. The song or chant was improvised and
expressive of their sorrow at not being able to see their glorious chief,
and petitioning unknown powers for his restoration to health."
Writing of Lucerne, Switzerland, she says :
"The scene at night is of marvelous beauty. Tiny rowboats, each
with its colored lantern, are scurrying through the water; the big hos
telries on the topmost mountain peaks are blazing with electric lights,
and from lofty Stanserhorn is thrown a searchlight, changing from
yellow to violet, green and red. Beneath its weird and mystic light the
lake becomes a sea of fire; the hidden mysteries of the surrounding
mountains are revealed, and the pretty white city of Lucerne gleams
like marble.
"Steamers on Lake Lucerne are daily crowded with tourists in-
tent on scaling the mountains ; one talks of going up the Rigi as though
it were but a trifling incident, and, indeed, by the aid of the railway, it
is easily accomplished in a half day ; still the sensation of being lifted
up into space is overpowering. As we rise, the blue waters of the lake
seem to sink into unknown depths, and mountains continually rise about
us. At last the train is brought to a standstill and we step out seem-
ingly into midair with but one foothold — the summit of Rigi, 'the island
peak.'
"Range upon range of mountains stretch before us into infinite
space, fading to a shadowy blue in the distance, their billowy outlines,
like the petrified waves of some mighty sea. Gray and shadowy, like
shrouded sentinels, stand the surrounding mountains ; the air is chill,
the mist clings to one's garments, a faint pink glow behind a distant
mountain reveals it like a cameo against the pale morning sky ; the glow
spreads and deepens until each peak is an intaglio cut in the deepening
blue. As the sun blazes over the tops, the mists are rolled up like a cur-
tain, and the glories of valley and mountain are revealed."
Of the geological formation of Norway she writes: "Little is
known of Norway as compared with other parts of Europe. Amer-
icans are few who visit that country. But it is 'The Happy Hunting-
Ground' of the English and one encounters them at every turn. Gen-
erally speaking, the American in Europe prefers to spend his time and
his ducats in the great traveled centers. Occasionally, however, it hap-
[601]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
pens that an adventurous explorer, who has already 'done' Europe to a
greater or less extent, finds his way to this most wonderful land, whose
grandest tribute to its marvels and mysteries is — silence. No words
can describe — no imagination picture the majesty of Nature in this far
distant land. While not more than a cursory glance at Norway can be
given in the columns of a newspaper, yet some idea may be conveyed
of those prominent features and details of Norwegian life and scenery
which most impress the average tourist who for the first time beholds
and experiences them.
"Out of the conflict of the turbulent powers of nature sprung the
Norway of to-day — the mysterious and wonderful Norseland. The
thoughtful observer, as he views its wonders, sees the rolling green sea
with its numberless outstretched arms reaching up between the moun-
tains ; sees the enormous piles of rock thousands of feet above ram-
sees yawning chasms and fathomless glens, into whose mysteries the
eye cannot penetrate; sees also that which may not be patent to the
casual observer. Backward are his thoughts carried to the dark ages ;
he hears the crashing of the mighty avalanche as it pursues its awful
course down the mountains ; rending them asunder, hurling the frag-
ments from side to side, and he also thinks of the terrible insidious
march of the advancing and retiring glaciers from the far frozen
North, obliterating landmarks, forming new watercourses, and chang-
ing the entire aspect of nature. It is supposed that the entire country
was covered with ice during the glacial period.
"An eminent professor of geology in Christiania states that 'the
phenomenal features of Scandinavia are due to the fact that the penin-
sula slowly sank under the weight of the Arctic ice, the surfaces be-
neath were scored and grooved by the submerged and grounded bergs,
and then the land slowly rose again to its present level.' These awful
convulsions of nature seem to have found their counterpart in the in-
ternal conflicts which convulsed the nation; for the entire history of
Norway up to the eighteenth century is one of blood and carnage ; no
law but that of might was recognized. But the awful throes of nature
were at last stilled ; the receding torrents, with mighty backward rush,
left bare broad plains and fruitful glens into which the sunlight poured,
clothing them in verdure; even so at last into the hearts of the bar-
barian Norsemen poured the sunlight of civilization, rendering them
amenable to law and order; to the recognition of right — not might.
What wonder that with all these antecedents Norway and the Nor-
wegians are what they are at the present day ; a country whose natural
[602!
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
wonders are a marvel to all who behold them, and a people of physical
power and prowess — fearless and firm — of sturdy independence and
persistence — inured to hardships and privations, and withal true and
loyal to each other !"
What follows is from the same article : "At Odde was made our
first attempt to visit a glacier. A steam launch on the lake landed us at
the base of the ragged foot-hills, and as we were assured it was but an
hour's walk we commenced the ascent. We climbed and climbed in the
broiling sun, occasionally getting a peep at the glacier from between
points of rocks, . . At a point which commands the valley a
flag staff is erected and the Norwegian flag floats in the breeze. The
view at this point is overwhelming in its grandeur. Mountains of
rock, whose summits seem to pierce the clouds ; waterfalls innumerable
covering their sides with wreaths of foam ; angry torrents of green and
purple waters rushing down the valley with roar of thunder ; and in the
distance, dominating the whole — the glacier — the ice gleaming blue as
a sapphire. Above and beyond it stretch the vast untrodden snow
fields, in strong contrast to the blue of the glacier.
"Lonely wilds of the Norseland ! Everything about us is strange
and weird except the familiar faces of the daisies and buttercups which
seem to smile up at us from the bleak barren spaces at every point where
they can gain a foothold. The sight of them cheers our hearts, bring-
ing a feeling of home nearness ; they seem to say, although you are so
far from home, yet we have come also. The wild flowers of Norway
are innumerable in variety and species ; but they are tiny and so delicate
as to be almost transparent ; so brief is their life in this bleak land where
the sun hides his light so long. The cottages of the peasants are mostly
roofed with turf from which spring numerous wild flowers and even
small shrubs and trees. The tiny peaked roofs look odd covered with
growing flowers, which seem entirely out of keeping with their grimy
surroundings."
I add a little touch from her "Tour Through Austria:"
"To-day a deep velvety purple bloom is over the foliage with which
the distant mountains are clothed, in beautiful contrast to the pale grey
of the rocks where they are bare of verdure. On the summit of one,
as if cast there by spirit hands, rests a fleecy veil of cloud ; this moun-
tain is 15,000 feet high.
"As we ascend, the sun is sinking, and we witness the glories of an
Alpine sunset. The mountains — dark towering masses in the fore-
ground ; — behind them and between their sharp crags, throwing every
[603]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
outline into bold relief, the brilliant changing colors of the setting sun
streaming upward to the zenith. Below in the valley — the city; with
every spire and dome glittering in the rosy light ; the- river like a sheet
of silver running through the green. It is a picture not soon to be for-
gotten."
In one of her lectures she calls our attention to the spiritual possi-
bilities in the intercourse and travel now made so easy throughout the
world. "The facilities for travel," she declares, "which are constantly
on the increase in all parts of the globe, thus establishing inter-com-
munication of all nations, Pagan and Christian, are destined to be a
mighty agency in the enlightenment and evangelization of the world.
The missionary can have no more powerful allies than the steam en-
gine, the ship canals, the sub-marine cables. With all these achieve-
ments of the i gth century surely we may look for the fulfillment of
the Divine promise that 'The heathen are to be given unto the Son for
His inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for His posses-
sion. He shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto
the ends of the earth.' '
Perhaps these glimpses prepare us better to understand the crea-
tion of the Wieting Opera House, in which a thoughtful, poetical
woman generously and beautifully expressed herself. The nobility of
the house, the splendor of its proportions and parts, the peculiar per-
fection of all its arrangements and appointments, the quiet, exquisite
beauty of softly blended color and form in all the details of decoration
and draperies, — all came thoughtfully forth out of the taste and feeling
of the wisdom of her heart.
Mrs. Melville Augustus Johnson, formerly Mrs. Wieting, is one
of the Original Life-Member Founders and Vice-Presidents of The
National Historical Society, which she was one of the first to forward
toward organization, having been from its inception a warm friend and
supporter. I therefore have a double pleasure in recording her beau-
tiful gift to art in the pages of the Magazine of the Society. One of
the chief purposes of The National Historical Society and of its Maga-
zine is to gather and preserve, for the inspiration and encouragement
of the whole Country, whatever can be distilled out of the labors of
love and consecrated devotion of such a life.
What an ideal for America emerges! Consider the beautiful
creation for the enjoyment of others into which one woman pours
the wealth she has to give — the best, the richest, that lies deep in her
generous nature, and comes forth thence, expressing herself. Multi-
[604]
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
ply this by the power of all the souls of America, and what a standard
of light the starry flag of one people's example might unfold over the
world ! In a thousand forms the call to service sounds — if we but lie
in God's creative hand, whole-hearted and devoted, prepared unto every
good work. Light comes, shining in upon us to shine out again upon
the world.
Throughout our country men have erected houses of amusement ;
but not as Mrs. Johnson built her house. Commercial enterprises
nearly all have been, — business ventures for profit! Thus human
hearts express themselves; but quite unsuitably to set us an exalted
standard. But the creation, whose happy "week" of creative work-
manship we have been watching unfold, sprang out of no thorn-choked
soil of gain and barter. It came forth out of the boundless, myste-
rious resources of a human soul's ideals, where — whatever the ideal
may be, however imperfect, however groping — God's image and like-
ness is clearly limned in the work of our hands and hearts.
The new Wieting Opera House set a new standard, became the
pioneer of a new departure. Dramatic art seeks to imitate and body
forth our life, its motives and its passions, its right and its wrong. If
our life does wrong, it does wrong in the setting of a world which, as
created, unstained of our evil, is filled with the incentive and lure of
the high and the beautiful. The instincts of Mrs. Johnson's ideals
dreamed of giving to the stage of art a house imitative of the beauties
of the great house of life. Never before, I believe, in the scheme of a
house for dramatic art, was simple beauty and perfection exalted to a
place so high and predominant. A new type was created, and prob-
ably only a woman, and only a woman of Mrs. Johnson's mind and
heart and taste and culture, could have created the type. It was her
life's great poem.
At this moment the nations on the world stage are playing
agonizing parts in a dark tragedy of manslaughter. Yet men, falling
into such depths from the low plane of national selfishness, are slow to
judge their own hearts, and swift to rail at God. Bringing down upon
themselves, and upon the whole earth, the logical consequences of
crooked ways and sordid ambitions, they cry out, "Is there a God, that
these things should be?"
That God is long-suffering, very forbearing, slow to visit in judg-
ment, loath to crush, our school-days at man's form of evil surely show.
That God is, everything over and around us demonstrates. Stung by
the fearful play upon our boards, running through its mad acts among
[605]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
the shifting scenes of Europe, Asia, and Africa, we turn our fascinated
eyes away to look upon the power and beauty, the shielding walls, sup-
porting pillars, the great mosaic beneath our feet, the starry ceiling
overhead, the voices of lovely ornamentation, and all the prophecy of
graceful draperies, that support and hang down around this mighty
theatre which stages the good and evil of men and nations — and, even
out of the blackest tragedy of our uttermost despair, strength and good-
ness, hope and beauty, reveal themselves in the Everlasting Arms that
still hold us up.
Might we not wander on the seashore and in a pearly shell read
the same gospel which we have heard preached more vividly and won-
derfully by the new Wieting Opera House ? A little bivalve toiled to
express itself. Its brief life has gone to Him Who gave it; but this
tiny irridescent house, created out of its vital energies, abides with its
imperishable witness. The blind creative instinct of the little creature
never knew that the house it built could challenge the deepest thoughts
of aesthetic philosophy, declaring the immanent Presence of the Beau-
ty-Loving Architect Whose exquisite design the little workman visua-
lized.
But how this gospel lightens faith out of the creative heart of a
generous woman ! I stand in the house she lavished a fortune to build
for others — in the midst of its beautiful utilities and its expenditure of
loveliness. Then I try to fathom the life, the being, the greater uni-
verse out of which such a creation could spring. What fertile seas and
continents of the heart! What airy, cloud-laden firmaments of the
mind ! What starry spaces of the imagination ! What yearnings, what
seekings, what hunger and thirst of soul and spirit ! What a universe
of social necessity ; ready to serve, to be served ; to give, to be given ;
to love, to be loved ! These vast expanses, the creative possibilities, the
endless surprises, of one generous woman's soul I try to multiply by
the sum of the human race; then seek to imagine the multiplication of
this still-finite quantity by infinity; and though I cannot take it in,
and can only rejoice in this, my inability, the Eyes of the God of Love
look into my heart out of everything in the world !
Away with blind materialism, that cannot explain one least thing
that we see! Abhorred be its doctrine that in human selfishness, as
brute beasts, we must struggle for existence! Do we make God's
Cross a stumbling block? Could we see no further, — in the ages' trag-
edy of human selfishness is there not need that the Eternal teach us
Love's gospel of self-immolation? "Whosoever would save his life,
[606]
A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
shall lose it, but whosoever loseth his life, shall find it again." There-
fore will I not let myself be discouraged by the manslaughter of the
nations. I will turn to a pearly shell ! I will look upon the beautiful
creation of one woman! I will gaze out, far as my sight can pierce
the horizon, over the unfathomable sea of one generous woman's heart,
out into the great Heart of God Himself. And so my faith stands,
stronger and purer than ever.
There are sermons in stones ; and in one woman's work a book of
revelations !
[607]

When we behold thy house of beauty built
Into time's substance from a single dream,
And so infer thy soul's perpetual gleam
Of worlds reborn and shapen as thou wilt,
Our eyelids startle from the lazy tilt
That lets the slant in of what things but seem
Through darkened slats of blindness, and a beam
Of life-glow keys our waking to the lilt
Our songs heir from the music played of old,
Form, order, color, beauty, mystic chime
Out of the Life that bore up chaos drawn,
Until our dreams the dreams of God behold,
In this cracked seed and bursting night of time
The New Creations of Eternal Dawn !

DOCTOR DAMASO RIVAS
Chairman of the Delegation from Nicaragua to the Pan-American
Scientific Congress
HERE is scarcely anything to add to what has been said
before in reference to the spirit in which we are gath-
ered together to strive for the benefit of these great
Americas as a whole. Nothing can be added to the
wise advice of the Vice-President of this great Repub-
lic and also of the Secretary of State and the Presi-
dent of the Congress. Still, there may be some little points for us to
recall that I may discuss in the capacity of one who has had a resi-
dence of twenty years in this country, since we are congregated for
nothing but to discuss and look for the truth.
In the first place, we realize very well that our gathering here
means only one thing, regard for the truth. It has been said that Sci-
ence is the only thing in which humanity strives only for the truth.
Science is nothing if it is not for the truth. Science really does stand
in mankind as a whole as a search for the truth, and truth is the one
thing indomitably unshaken, never to be moved. In reference to that,
of course, we only have to congratulate ourselves on being members
of this Congress whose efforts will continue to-day and to-morrow
and the morrow after always in the effort to enlighten us and give us
knowledge.
There is a mighty truth which was promulgated by Lincoln, and
it is mighty still and is the utterance of the President of this country
and of every representative of the South American Republics. Truth
will ever remain in those words, 'A government of the people, by the
people, and for the people." That is the guiding spirit still, if not
[621]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
of civilization, still of education. Civilization may bring man to the
border of death, but education alone can bring man to the plane where
he belongs. We are to be congratulated on the fact that we may be
educated some time, if not at the present.
We know that we are not here to learn anything in regard to
political features or to discuss them in this place, but that our truest
efforts are to be given to the search for the truths which will place
man beyond the resort to war. In Europe at this time they are una-
ble to make this search, simply because they resort to nothing but
fighting. We know very well that we do not want to fight, not be-
cause we are afraid, but because there is no place for it with us. Let
us always remain as we are. If we can not improve any further let
us stay where we are, at least. There is a time in which every nation
strives for independence. There was a time for every nation among
us, when we separated from the mother country. Now we have at-
tained the age of maturity and we must guard and develop our inde-
pendence and our liberty.
Surely Cleveland, in the time of his Administration, called the
attention, not alone of England, but of Europe as a whole, and since
then we know that we receive consideration as independent nations.
Then was given to us the real spirit of America for the Americans.
Of course, that doctrine is due to Monroe, who was the father of the
doctrine, but who is greater, the one who promulgated it or the one
who established it? Let us honor Monroe, but let us admire and thank
Cleveland who established it for us. And I am sure that the Govern-
ment of America will not forget what has been done.
There is one little more thing which may be added, and that I
can not pass by. It refers to the common expression attached to the
Latin American countries, to myself as well, and that is "Manana,"
a saying which is so popular here. Do we really represent "Man-
ana" ? Some may, but not all, I am sure, and if we do it is time not to
represent it. It reminds me very much of the time when Columbus
was dying, and a very good friend said at his bedside, "Columbus, I
am going to ask charity for you," and he insisted on going to court.
But Columbus did not care to be aided, and he said :
"Manana, esa palabra vana,
Se ha interpuesto en mi camino,
Yo daros un mundo quiero,
En voz alta les gritaba
Y manana repetia
[622]
DEMOCRACY THE STANDARD OF CIVILIZATION
El viejo mundo en que muero.
"Y hoy que ese mundo les di,
Y tu que f uiste a buscar,
Para Colon un hogar
Me traes una manana a mi ?
Raza orgullosa y liviana,
Bajo en cuyo ambiente estoy
Si no sabes lo que es hoy
Que sabeis lo que es el manana."
I have referred to that, gentlemen, because it says, in a few
words, if we do not know what is today we never can know what will
be to-morrow.
Of course, to us the beautiful Stars and Stripes, or the Blue and
Red, or any color that is the emblem of our nation, is dear, but let us
in the future honor, when we honor the flag of any nation, the flag
of truth and co-operation in love and justice.
I speak in the name of the Nicaraguan Delegation. You will re-
member that Nicaragua is a very small country. The sentiment is the
same whether the country is large or small. There is only one senti-
ment of truth and love and friendship, and that is what we all have
for America.

HIS EXCELLENCY, SENOR DON IGNACIO CALDERON
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Bolivia to
the United States
R. PRESIDENT, Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The last Pan-American meeting held was the First
Pan-American Financial Congress, called by the dis-
tinguished Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States with the object of discussing the economic con-
ditions of the different Republics and the ways and
means to extend our mutual trade. To-day in this beautiful home of
the Daughters of the American Revolution meets the Second Pan-
American Scientific Congress, with the object of discussing almost
every branch of human knowledge.
It is indeed inspiring to think that we all come here with a feel-
ing of mutual respect and in unselfish devotion to the cause of civili-
zation and progress. Nothing interprets better our love, our aims,
and common sympathies than this meeting, where we discuss the
great problems, social and scientific, for the benefit and the welfare
of mankind.
Many years of unrelenting struggle gave us our independence
and left to the following generations the sacred work of serving the
glorious destiny of Republican Goverment. I know of no other way
than that of disseminating public instruction, looking toward the pres-
ervation and improvement of the health and welfare of all the people.
Freedom is a gift that is only given to nations that are awake to their
duties and their rights, and who know how to defend them and to
[624]
AMERICA'S DESTINY TO LEAD THE WORLD
keep open the opportunity for everyone to live an independent life
and obtain self-improvement.
Pan-Americanism, this great and noble doctrine, is not a senti-
ment of exclusion. It implies the common effort of all the Republics
of this continent in the great work of uplifting mankind and the fur-
therance of the democratic principles of justice. It means the Re-
publican Government, based on the equality of man, and also means
that we keep open the door of our territories for all men, — yea and all
women, — to work their way in the course of human progress. The
Almighty has passed down this New World of ours with a great
wealth of abundant resources, which we are willing to share with the rest
of mankind. America is destined to lead the world in that upward
movement of the nations and to press forward in the development of
Mankind's great destiny to the highest summit of civilization.
Gentlemen and ladies, we meet here just in the period when the
whole world celebrates the anniversary of the coming of the Great
and Divine Teacher, Whose arrival to the world was proclaimed from
above by angelic voices singing, "Peace on earth, good will toward
men." Then let us, under that glorious and great Flag of the Stars
and Stripes, work together for the right and proper fulfillment of
Man's destiny, the principles of right, justice, liberty, and happiness.
The Bolivian Delegation is pleased to express to the United States,
through their Excellencies, the Vice-President and the Secretary of
State, its acknowledgment for the many courtesies received.

DOCTOR ISAAC ALZAMORA
Delegate from Peru to the Second Pan-American Scientific Congress
[XCELLENCIES, Vice-President, Secretary of State.
and Chairman of the Congress, Ladies and Gen-
tlemen :
The Delegation of Peru to this Congress of sci-
entists is deeply grateful for the kind welcome of their
Excellencies, the President and the Vice-President of
the United States, and the Secretary of State, and feels honored in
presenting to the Government and to the scientific institutions of
this great country, here so well represented, its cordial greeting and
sincere vows for the realization of the noble purposes which have
moved them to organize this second Pan-American Scientific Congress.
Although the scientific institutions of Peru are far from having
reached a stage of development and vigor such as has been attained
by those of this Republic, they experience no other sentiment than that
of deep interest and admiration for their progress, and concur in this
great gathering, in so far as their limited resources permit, with sin-
cere enthusiasm and persistent faith.
Congresses such as this can create a special American science ca-
pable of judging, and of resolving theoretically, with the austere cri-
terion of learning, the situations and problems which arise in the va-
rious nations of the continent. In this manner they are a powerful
factor not only in the reciprocal knowledge of all our Republics, which
[626]
POWERFUL FACTORS IN THE MARCH OF ALL-AMERICA
is the only certain base of firm relations and of harmonical progress,
but in the development of each one of them — and they can avoid in-
ternal controversies of a less disinterested character and of results
which are often lamentable. In other words, the purely scientific
disquisitions of these great American assemblies can not only enlighten
cash one of the nations interested in them in the solving of its own
problems, but can suppress the element of passion which generally ac-
companies those solutions, thus constituting the most admirable con-
cert in the march of all the countries of America, by the most peaceful
paths, towards the highest spheres of progress that have ever been
reached by any continent of the earth.

HIS EXCELLENCY, DOCTOR CARLOS MARIA DE PENA
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Uruguay to
the United States
| ADIES and Gentlemen : When reviewing the brilliant
successes of the Pan-American Financial Congress,
we see what a standard is set for us to reach. Fortu-
nately, we are in the country par excellence of con-
gresses and we shall continue in the paths that have
been made for us. What are the things, great or
small, that have been accomplished in congresses in this country of
marvelous energies and of infinite resources? That is what we have
to consider.
This Congress is of a general scientific character, for the ex-
change of ideas and views and of rigorous investigation. It is a
Congress seeking solutions of great problems. It is a Congress of the
Americas, and for that reason we must exert ourselves in order that
the result we long for may be obtained, and this Congress may be
worthy of the scientific and moral standard of our countries.
How we have failed to know one another, gentlemen, how much
we have still to do to know one another ! This is a gathering of man-
kind who have come full of possibility for our continent, bringing
with them aspirations and ideas for the needs of our countries, for
our common understanding, and who are called upon for active co-
[628]
THE VOICES OF PACIFIC AMERICA
operation in the vast field of investigation before us. We are here
to meet and to greet one another as friends and co-laborers from
countries desirous of cementing the commercial, intellectual, and moral
ties which should unite them, as they do now in some of our countries.
There are countries which desire to think together and to act together,
upon the footing of absolute equality, animated by common ideas and
determined to maintain their position and personality. Thus is opened
up a road of influence which is new in the history of the world.
I know, Gentlemen, that I am always repeating the eloquent
words of President Wilson, contained in his message concerning the
Pan-American nations, and permit me to say that I do not employ
other words because there are none more expressive. This repetition
is not out of place here, because this is a Pan-American Congress, in
which all of us are called upon to work together for the end which
President Wilson has sown such seed to bear fruit in our minds.
Let me say that it is a cause for great congratulation to each and
all of us that we are able to devote a few quiet moments to the prob-
lems of culture and progress in these countries at a time of great dis-
turbance and sorrow, when the social and the intellectual life of the
Old World seems suspended as a result of the tremendous struggle
among nations. In this country, the great and happy home of so many
people of the human race, will be carried through the Second Pan-
American Scientific Congress.
The voices of pacific America proclaim fraternity of moral and
intellectual ideas, of cordial relations, of the intimate co-operation
of the Republics in their social, political, and economic problems.
From this Congress, from others which preceded it, and from still
others that have now been held in this beautiful city of Washington,
and from all of us in the near future will spring valuable and decisive
results for the progress of the race. There will spring up a new so-
cial and international gospel, upon which the structure of this civil-
ization of the world is to be restored and reconstructed.
Gentlemen, let these congresses be welcome among us, for they pro-
mote united effort and the profitable exchange of ideas and aspirations
and the moral necessities of life. They lead to a proper appreciation
of mental powers, of the achivements of professional men. Let them
be welcome, because they are the gatherings of science, accumulated
little by little in every country of America, because they present one of
the most valuable fields for the increasing and harmonizing of the
common patrimony of mankind. Let these congresses be welcome,
[629]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
because no more valuable field for the practical application of science
exists in our communities.
With this idea and sentiment, the Government of Uruguay is
desirous of co-operation with that of the United States and with the
other Republics of America in the success of the Congress which has
stimulated the activity of men of science in all our countries. With
this idea and sentiment, our Delegates and I also join you in the work,
confident that we are taking part in one of the epoch-making con-
gresses in the history of America.

THE HONORABLE ROBERTO ANCIZAR
Delegate from Colombia to the Second Pan-American
Scientific Congress
|E FROM ALL AMERICAS have already met in this
City Beautiful, endeavoring to put together and direct
into intelligent channels the energies that are to re-
model the economic shape of this part of the world.
We meet to-day as if to take stock of our ever-in-
creasing assets of Science, this Builder of free na-
tions which, first appearing as an immigrant in our shores, has now
won with all honors the right of citizenship forever in America.
Mysterious currents, out of our control, because born in God's
Mercy for the human race, are, in their silent errand, marching to-
wards the manifest destiny of this Continent of ours, destiny which can
not be attained by conquest, nor preponderance, nor oppression, nor
unfair exploitation of nations or individuals.
Glorious destiny which is freedom, the three times blessed free-
dom that riches helps to make stable, and that grows and prospers
aided by science, and is worth attaining if justice and right go hand
in hand with liberty.
Let us believe, nay, let us ardently hope, that after the Con-
gresses of Finance and Science there will meet one which will be hailed
as the Congress of Pan-American Justice, where the delegates of all
the nations of America shall convene to bear witness that there will
be no more pending questions, no unquenched thirst for right and for
redress between the sisters, but where will only reign a common eager-

ness for co-operation, not marred from its goal of continual good-
will and happiness by even the remembrances of past suspicions and,
at that time, long forgotten grievances.
Finance first, Science to-day, labouring together to build a con-
tinental fabric cemented with Justice, will unite the Americas, for the
benefit of humanity, with no fears for its durability, for, if united,
we shall stand. But let no cause of distrust ever wander between our
nations for, if divided, we must fall.

HIS LIST has been compiled with a view to assisting
those seeking information as to their right to display
a Coat-of-Arms, or who wish to ascertain whether a
Coat-of-Arms is borne by any family bearing the same
surname as their own.
Many American families have an inalienable
right to claim the ancient insignia of their race, who may not be aware
of it, and it is to these that this list may serve as a guide in taking the
first steps to establish their descent. The pride of lineage is for Amer-
icans a legitimate one, if in it they find inspiration to preserve the spirit
of "noblesse oblige," which expresses the true character of Knight-
hood, remembering that in our beloved Country we may render ser-
vice in the Cause of Righteous Government with the same zeal which
armed the Crusaders of old, from whom many armorial bearings have
come down.

BY
HIS EXCELLENCY, DOCTOR SANTOS A. DOMINICI
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Venezuela
to the United States
JENEZUELA has accepted with genuine pleasure the
invitation of the Government of the United States to
attend this gathering of the men of the Americas who
are devoted to science. Following the Financial Con-
ference, the meeting of the Second Pan-American
Scientific Congress in this beautiful capital is a happy
coincidence in which the governments and peoples of Latin America
have a cause for mutual congratulation as an auspicious omen favor-
able to the lofty purpose which brings them here. And this purpose is
no other than to make of these meetings the fount and head of the cur-
rent of cordiality, mutual appreciation, and community of interests
which will some day make the Union of the Republics of this Hemis-
phere, the dream of our several liberators, a wonderful reality.
The Congress that meets to-day for the first time is a happy se-
quence to the Financial Conference, because they both represent the
two main currents which must be fed to make such union effective,
that is, on the one hand the current of the mind which runs through
the golden threads of thought and art, and on the other, that of ma-
terial needs which flows through the channels of trade and industry.
[644]
A UNION IN FRIENDSHIP
Both these currents have always run simultaneously and inseparably
on parallel lines, the one above the other.
Furthermore, in a meeting here to-day, before the altar of Minerva,
in these sad days when the nations that have always been the masters
of philosophy have forsaken the temples of that goddess to engage in
a struggle, the cause of which philosophy itself considers to be abhor-
rent, but, as to the outcome of which, even the combatants themselves
are in the dark, — a struggle before which, against our deepest senti-
ments, we must remain as mournful spectators, — in a meeting here
to-day, I say, I feel that we are discharging a great duty to civilization.
Far from me the idea of insinuating that our position is one of protest
against the war, because it is not so, neither in thought nor in fact.
But I must say that between the rage that moves the struggling na-
tions of Europe and the thought that prompted the meeting of the Re-
publics of America here, this day, there is a glowing contrast, and
therefore a valuable lesson by which we are all to profit.
In the history of America we have reached a period when interna-
tional niceties and conventionalisms are not enough. There is no mis-
taking the manifestations of the desire of the several peoples to see the
rings of such conventionalities broken asunder in order to enter into an
unincumbered and friendly intercourse among themselves. Let us
know each other better and more intimately ; let us put into that mutual
knowledge the greatest sincerity; let us carefully measure our
aspirations and desires ; let us be prudent in examining the causes
which at first sight we have not been able to understand, and we will
soon see in ever increasing gradation, mutual toleration, mutual appre-
ciation, friendship, and even warm affection, among the several coun-
tries in this Hemisphere.
That this process is to be a long one, no one can doubt, as there are
many difficulties in its way, not only of a geographical character but
of an ethnical nature as well. But one will after the other give way
to earnest and loyal intent; each coming generation will purify from
the troubled waters of humanity its own dregs, until the day will come
when, through the fusion of ideas and good will, the waters made clear
will run in a flood of equality and fraternity of the people of America !
The Venezuelan Delegation has come to this gathering fully con-
vinced that, while collaborating in the advancement of science, it will
contribute to the moral progress as well as to the material rapproche-
ment of the American Republics and at the same time to the uplift of
human conscience. And in taking a place among the eminent Dele-
[645]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
gates of the Americas, we have the honor to present our respects to
the Chief Executive of the United States in the honored person of the
Vice-President, the Honorable the Secretary of 'State, to the worthy
President of the Second Pan-American Scientific Congress, to whom
we are indebted for their gracious words of welcome, and to the dis-
tinguished colleagues with whom we are to share for a few days the
work which has such an auspicious beginning.

DOCTOR CARLOS MANUEL DE CESPEDES
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Cuba to
the United States
R. VICE-PRESIDENT, Mr. Secretary of State, Mr.
Ambassador, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Speaking for the Cuban Delegates, I have the honor
to address your Excellencies in grateful recognition
of your kind greetings. Intensely do we feel the warm
and sincere friendliness of your cordial welcome and
nospitality, and are touched with emotion by the noble sentiments so
eloquently expressed here today, in the name of the government and
the people of the United States.
Also we are making ardent wishes for the welfare and glory of
your great nation and for the personal happiness of His Excellency,
the President, in whom so many rare and precious gifts are as innate
as that clear, illuminated vision with which the prophets ascend the
high and sacred places and announce the revelation of a new era.
The impressiveness of this solemn and historic moment is second
only to the transcendency of our common object.
To the Pan-American Financial Conference were submitted
those respective interests of an economic character, from which the
unity of Consular and commercial legislation, business intercourse,
and all that appertains to the development of our marvelous natural
resources and industries, is to derive.
But it was a most felicitous inspiration indeed, that placed the
efficient array of mental forces here assembled, like an army of light,
at the service of Pan- Americanism, a troth of freemen.
[647]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
The principle of inter-American altruism, to which our union is
subservient, forms, however, but one of its conspicuous merits. The
belief that Pan-Americanism is, in every sense, a generous doctrine,
and by no means the egotistic policy its adversaries have sought to de-
nounce, obtains ample justification in the fact that the golden fruits of
this Congress are to be presented at the doors of humanity on the
palms of our outstretched hands as a New Year's offering from Pan-
America to the world.
Men of deep learning and good will, guided by the star of science,
are come from every nation of this vast hemisphere to meet other rep-
resentative men of the same description and consider together, and
solve, perhaps, not merely home questions of a necessarily limited
scope, but great, universal problems of absorbing interest to the mod-
ern mind, so earnest in its profound askings to those who study the
art of good government and moral conduct, or who pursue the secrets
of creation and evolution through the mysterious realms of nature's
boundless empire.
Marshalled at this hour to undergo the test of scientific investi-
gation, are systems and theories, hypotheses and axioms, codes and
doctrines, things useful materially and things artistic, idealogic or of
pure sentiment, that without which the divine poem of the universe
is but a bewildering combination of physical energies in activity, whose
regression to chaos, on the wings of time, will ever be contradicted,
as an ultimate conclusion, by the fortifying promises of our spiritual
essence.
Thought will, nevertheless, examine and aid thought in this great
academy of enlightenment and mutual service. The Americas seek the
benefits of union and the truths of science in an unbiased spirit, and
for themselves as well as for all, Justice and Harmony.
Nor can the distant thunder of the million cannon alter the dig-
nity of our sessions or distract us from our godly purpose.
In the name of Pan- America, we are here to proclaim the wisdom
of the supreme laws of life and sit in judgment on the sources of error,
pain and death, of which scientific philosophy has already said that
man must be the conqueror, not the victim.
It is with such ideals at heart that the Delegates of Cuba are
among you in this great Congress, in which the highest mentality of
the Americas is so brilliantly represented, full of faith in the outcome
of its labor and example.

GENERAL ANTHONY WAYNE
"Mad Anthony Wayne," a splendid figure in the Revolutionary period of our history, was born at
Chester, Pennsylvania, January 1, 1745, and died at Erie, Pennsylvania, December 15, 1796. He fought
gallantly throughout the War for Independence, one of his most famous achievements being the storm-
ing of Stony Point. His patriotic service, both as a soldier and a statesman, continued after the
war and throughout his life.

A Somanr? in U* rar nf tiff (®li>
Smja in &an Slirgn
BY
MAJOR S. H. M. BYERS
H, MANY, many years ago this tale
Had its beginning by a charmed sea,
So beautiful it seemed ; the bending sail,
And the blue sky, like that of Italy.
There grew the palm and there the lemon tree,
And every flower that's beautiful to see.
Outside the bay the mighty ocean rolled
In liquid mountains, or in glist'ning sea,
And moonlight nights some wondrous story told
To listening forests and to meadowed lea ;
And lovers, walking in the moonlight, heard
Their sweethearts' voices when the sea was stirred.
Such was the scene, where the fair city stood,
By poets called "The City of Fair Dreams,"
Between the forest and the shining flood ;
And even now, to strangers' eyes there seems
Some lingering glory of that happy day
When all was merry in old Monterey.
'Twas at a time when Spanish friars bore
For many years their long and kindly sway
In grand old Missions stretched along the shore
From San Diego to Francisco Bay.
Then all was Spanish — manners, speech and dress —
Save the wild Indians in the wilderness.
'Twas just as if some island in the past
Had drifted off from its beloved Spain,
And by some wondrous miracle been cast
Along the shores of the Pacific main :
Or was't Arcadia that had been lost,
And by some chance had hitherward been tossed?
[660]
GLORIETTA
Be it as it may, it was a lovely land,
And joyous people lived along its coast ;
There dance and music wandered hand in hand.
And, next to these, the horses were their boast,
No Arab tenting in the desert airs
Had steeds so swift, so beautiful as theirs.
He was not poor who had his desert steed,
With silver spangles hung on neck and breast,
Bejeweled saddle, beautiful, indeed,
And wondrous spurs outshining all the rest.
It was a sight sometimes to look upon,
These new-world knights and their caparison.
Famed was the land for other things as well,
Famed for fair women, beauteous to behold,
With black eyes, and olive skins to tell
Castilian blood; and forms of fairest mold.
Of one of these, had I a harp to sing,
I'd tell a tale not all imagining.
For there was one, a child almost in years,
Some sixteen summers only had been hers,
But in that clime of rose-leaf and of tears,
Love wakens early and its passion stirs.
So, Glorietta, soft as any dove,
Just laughed and loved, yet never thought of love.
Till on a day when Ivan came to woo,
A fisher's lad, he was, down by the bay,
Who dived for pearls of many a heavenly hue
That in the bottom of the ocean lay ;
And here and there a pretty shell he took
To Glorietta with a lover's look.
Though well she prized these pretty courtesies,
There was a gulf that stretched betwixt the two,
A stream unbridged, and bridgeless, most,, as seas,
Without a road that any lover knew
For what was he? A common fisher's son,
And she, the heiress of a Spanish don.
[661]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
O! she was young, and beautiful of face,
With melting eyes, a joy to look upon,
Big, black and deep, like her Castilian race;
Who looked too long was sure to be undone.
That Ivan learned, although he was so young,
Yet loved the sting with which he had been stung.
Her hair — such hair — in two great braids fell down
Like twisted ropes, black as the ebon night.
Upon her beautiful but girlish gown
Of simple rose, bedecked with lillies white.
Hearts had been cold, or ice, or something worse,
Not to be moved by eyes and hair like hers.
She was akin to the Don Carlos line;
Though orphaned young she might have riches still,
For the Alcalde, now Count Valentine,
Had many lands and herds on every hill.
He was her guardian, and could well endow
Such rose of beauty as he saw her now.
Upon the hill where his gray palace stood,
Fair flowers grew of every hue and kind;
The bougainvillea, with its purpling flood,
In drifted banks the walls and porches lined.
But Glorietta, far beyond compare,
Was fairest yet of any flower there.
And when the harvest of the vine was on
In the sweet autumns of that blessed clime,
When summer's heats and summer's suns were gone
And frosts just touched the orange and the lime,
Then manly youths were to the labor pressed,
And Ivan, too, was there among the rest.
So it fell out, as in that long ago,
When Ruth and Boaz in the harvest met,
Love had its way, or Ivan wished it so,
And cast himself in Glorietta's net,
Just at the moment when she brought the wine
Sent to the gard'ners by Count Valentine.
[662]
GLORIETTA
Twas like a dream, the sudden joy, to him !
Not many grapes he gathered on that day,
Nor on the next, for other things now drew
His one attention in another way,
And oftener now did Glorietta bear
Her jugs of wine out to the gard'ners there.
And once, unconsciously, the jug she held
To Ivan's lips, that he might drink his fill,
As if by accident his face she touched,
And quick he felt it, the immortal thrill, —
Such thrill as comes but once to any soul,
Or rich or poor, it is love's sweetest toll.
So days went on, the vintage was not done,
And every day young Ivan there would be
To .gather grapes in the sweet autumn sun,
Or pick the lemons from the lemon tree;
But most to see his sweetheart, and adore,
And every day she welcomed him the more.
There was an arbor on the palace ground,
Hid all in roses of sweet loveliness,
Where all was silence save 'the gentle sound
Of little brooklets and the wind's caress.
There Glorietta at the noontide came :
Who wonders now that Ivan did the same !
So in sweet converse flew the blessed noon,
While they sat looking in each other's eyes,
Amazed an hour could fly away so soon.
But time to lovers very quickly flies ;
Not much their feast on either bread or wine,
On other things, 'tis said, do lovers dine.
Yes, talk they had, and may be, kisses, some,
For they were glad to life, and everything:
Youth must be so — delicious it can come,
And this was now the flower of their spring.
Give love a bower, in vines and roses drest,
And melting eyes, and love will do the rest.
[663]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
There, in their moments of felicity,
Young Ivan told her of a thousand things;
Of the pearl-divers and the sapphire sea,
And the great fishes that had shining wings ;
Of caverns told, and rocks that overhung
The ocean caves where the pearl-fishes clung.
How he himself the dangers underwent
Of diving down, his trusty knife in hand,
To cut them loose from walls and caverns rent,
Then sudden rise and cast them on the sand :
How once a shark so near him came to sup
He was half dead before he could come up.
How he had seen a grotto wonderful
Down in the ocean with the waves above,
Not e'en the shrieking of the sad sea-gull
Was ever heard in that enchanted cove.
Like Desdemona, Glorietta heard,
And breathed a sigh at every other word.
How, fearing not, again and yet again,
He dared the dangers that around him were,
Not in some hope of some poor little gain,
But for a pearl that was most worthy her;
And then he reached to give it, with a kiss —
But hark! a step had ended all their bliss!
It was the Count, his face in purple rage.
Some evil soul had whispered in his ear,
How every day these lovers did engage
In guilty amours, and he'd find them here.
Few words were said, there was not much to say;
The place, the kiss, were they not plain as day ?
He railed a little, Glorietta heard:
"I had no one to guide, and I was young,"
Her eyes were weeping, but no other word;
The Count, he better too had held his tongue !
He was himself not over good, they say,
Among th' elite of lovely Monterey.
[664]
GLORIETTA
Be as it may, he had his Spanish pride ;
No kin of his might ever think to wed
With lowly fisher-folk, or be the bride
Of one who labored for his daily bread.
That very day he made his plans to send
Young Glorietta to a distant friend.
He had a cousin, rich and proud and lone,
Who with a sister by the desert dwelt;
What took him there had never quite been known,
If fate or love with him had coldly dealt.
Don Eldorado was the cousin's name,
A bit romantic and once known to fame.
There Glorietta will be safe awhile,
Thought the Alcalde, when she reached the place,
And thinking so, a long and happy smile
At times illumined the Alcalde's face.
"Time conquers love, at least so I have read,
And Ivan, well may think her lost or dead."
For it was planned that never any word
Should pass between them now forever more.
Just how 'twas done no mortal ever heard,
But things like these were often done before —
Some false arrest, some prison far away,
Or, at the worst, there still would be the bay.
A little while, though broke of heart at first,
And Glorietta almost loved the scene—
When on her eyes the great wild desert* burst
Like two vast seas, with mountains in between.
The porphyry hills, the red sea-walls that rise,
Seemed fit for gates to some sweet paradise.
'Twas in the morning, and God's great blue tent
Spread over mountains and the desert land;
A sapphire glory every moment lent
Some lovelier color to the desert sand;
A little while, and then the mountains seem
A mystic phantom, a forgotten dream.
•The Mojare and the Colorado deserts are really the same thing. A chain of the Sierra Madre mountains cutt the
1 lain In two parts.
[665]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Once, on a height, alone, she stood and gazed
On violet mountains and the desert sea.
A sudden sun above the desert blazed,—
"O World " she cried, "thou wert all joy to me
Were this to last, with never any tear,
And Ivan standing close beside me here."
Now, Eldorado, though not very young,
Kept in his breast some fires not yet gone out,
Saw Glorietta, and that moment flung
Himself before her, dead in love, no doubt.
Love at first sight, I've sometimes heard it said,
Affects the heart, but oftener the head.
Be as it may, he surely was most kind
To Glorietta, never dreaming how
Her heart with Ivan there was left behind,
Nor saw the shade that often crossed her brow.
One thought was his and that he could not hide,
The hope that quickly she would be his bride.
Each hour he thought some pleasant thing to do
To please her fancy or to kill the time;
Rode on the hills, looked on the desert view,
Or climbed the canyons glorious and sublime,
Where thundering down some torrent came to bless
The flowering wastes, the desert's loveliness.
And lovelier things he thought of, and less grand
The purple sage-brush that was everywhere,
The yellow poppy of the sun and sand,
Enchanting contrast to her raven hair;
And Manzanita berries, crimson red,
And purple heather from the desert's bed.
And desert holly of the sanded wild,
Frost-white and fair as ever fair could be,
Sun-born but lone, the desert's loveliest child,
Its curling leaves God's own embroidery.
All these were hers, and others yet the while,
All cheaply purchased by a single smile.
[666]
GLORIETTA
Day in, day out, the old new lover came;
Was it not time to answer yes, or nay?
Like fair Penelope, who did the same,
She prayed delaying, just another day,
And still in hopes she yet might surely know
If Ivan really were alive, or no.
Just then a letter from her guardian came;
A perfect thunderbolt it must have been,
Full of complaining and of every blame,
What under heaven was it she could mean?
Could it be so, such cold ingratitude,
. Towards one who always was so kind and good ?
Oft he had heard of how his cousin sought
Her hand in marriage, and of her delay:
He was amazed, for was this cousin not
What any girl could like most any day?
Rich, and genteel, and good to look upon,
And then, still more, he was a Spanish don.
Then, as to Ivan, heaven only knew
What had become of him: perhaps a shark
Had simply swallowed him; such things they do!
There were great dangers down 'in caverns dark,
And any way, her passion for him must
Long since have turned to ashes and to dust.
There seemed no choice; that Glorietta saw,
This unloved marriage was a thing foregone.
Her guardian's wishes, were they not a law?
She was as helpless as a mountain fawn,
And yet she waited still another day,
And never answered either yes or nay.
At last she spoke. It was a ruse to find
If Ivan really were alive or dead.
"It seems to me that I could speak my mind
If I were only in my home," she said.
"There in our garden by the crystal bay,
There I could answer either yes or nay."
[667]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
"Let it be so ! Tomorrow," he replied,
Not guessing all her reasons nor the why;
"On my fleet steeds across the hills we'll ride."
He did not notice Glorietta sigh.
He had forgotten, too, about the slip
That sometimes happens 'twixt the cup and lip.
Next day it was a pretty cavalcade
That crossed the mountains westward to the sea.
The Don, his sister, and the beauteous maid,
And some retaineres, only two or three.
A hundred miles was nothing then to ride,
At least to win so beautiful a bride!
A little while, and now in Monterey,
The dear old city by the sounding sea,
There was great talk among the young and gay
Of an event that very soon would be.
"The Don was rich," that much the gossips said,
"And Glorietta had come home to wed."
Not in whole years had there been such a stir.
The Alcalde's ward was now a beauty, grown,
All eyes were turned for but a glimpse of her
Or the great Don who claimed her for his own.
A little while, and wedding bells would ring,
And guests he bid up to the revelling.
Now there was searching of old wardrobes through
For gowns unique, and rich, of long ago;
Gold satin skirts, and rare mantillas, too,
And high-heeled boots with gold or silver bow;
Queer combs from Spain, and jewels rare and bright,
To wear on Glorietta's wedding night.
It was proclaimed among the ladies all,
To be au fait one must be gaily dressed.
And there would be a Spanish carnival,
To make this wedding seem the very best.
The men also, in picturesque array,
Expectant waited for the wedding day.
[668]
GLORIETTA
Young Ivan, meantime, had been lost to view ;
No trace of him could Glorietta find,
And now there seemed no other thing to do
Then wed the Don, though much against her mind :
So, though in tears, she gave a half consent,
And all was fixed, just as her guardian meant.
The day has come, the sun will soon be down,
A hundred guests on horseback gaily ride
Up to the palace, quite outside the town,
To greet the bridegroom and to kiss the bride.
As was the custom in the days of yore,
Each rider held his fair one on before.
Down by the sea the glad old mission bells
Ring out a sweet, a half voluptious chime.
The saintly friar there a moment tells
His beads to heaven in this dear, happy time:
Then turns his steps, he must be there to say
The nuptial vows on this their wedding day.
At her high window Glorietta stood,
And saw the riders in their glad array,
Yet felt that moment that she almost could
Have thrown herself into the shining bay:
All seemed a mockery to her, the scene,
Not less her wedding dress of gold and green.
Out on the lawn a bright pavilion showed,
Hung round with flags and open at the side,
Already circled by the common crowd,
For all would see the bridegroom and the bride.
Half in the dark one silent figure leant
Against the curtains of the illumined tent.
A little while, and look! The priest has come,
And bride and groom walk slowly down the line.
In a few words she is bid welcome home,
By the Alcalde, old Count Valentine.
In smiles and tears, she waits the solemn word :
Yet listen, now, a singer's voice is heard.
[669]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
A pretty custom in the land they had,
That girlhood friends about the bride should be,
To sing some song, some pretty words, nor sad,
To wish her joy and all felicity,
Before the one and final word is said,
Before the priest pronounced her duly wed.
And so tonight the singers come and sing,
And to a lute some verses improvise;
Some happy thought, perhaps some little thing,
Each' for herself some pretty couplet tries,
Then hands the lute to her who next her is,
Who smiling sings of future ecstasies.
Meanwhile the bride, who is all listening
To honied phrases she is glad to hear,
Herself prepares some pretty song to sing,
For see, the lute to her is coming near!
That moment look, her eyes are quickly bent
On that lone figure by the curtained tent.
Half in the shadow, halfway in the light,
Two sad dark eyes are looking straight at hers.
Heavens ! it is Ivan, come this very night !
A sudden joy her inmost bosom stirs ;
She dare not speak, a hundred wait around,
And he were dead if near the palace found.
Quick beat her heart, it was her turn to sing,
A prayer she breathed for guidance. What to do ?
Her voice she feared had sudden taken wing,
And Ivan's eyes were piercing through and through.
Oh would some saint in all Love's calendar
That moment come and pitying smile on her.
She waits a little — then an Indian air
Came to her mind that he had often sung.
Not one would know it of the many there,
For it was only of the Indian tongue.
She took the lute and sang a melody
Of love beside the Manzanita tree:
[67o]
GLORIETTA
The moon's above the ocean now,
Then hasten, love, to me,
And keep the vow you made beside
The Manzanita tree.
The stars across the heavens sweep,
As faithful as can be.
Let us be faithful, too, beside
The Manzanita tree.
The mist is on the mountain top,
The mist is on the lea,
Tonight, tonight, we meet beside
The Manzanita tree.
. The Manzanita berry's ripe,
And red as red can be,
O who would not go loving by
The Manzanita tree.
What if another claim my hand,
My heart, my heart's with thee,
So we will meet tonight beside
The Manzanita tree.
Each sigh, each thought, the listening lover heard,
And knows the meaning of the song she sings,
And ere the priest has said the solemn word
A steed all saddled to the gate he brings :
A sign, a gesture, from her lover there,
And they are gone, and no one knoweth where.
And they have mounted on the swiftest horse,
The fleetest steed the Alcalde ever owned.
They ford the Carmel in its swiftest course,
The old sea-bay behind them moaned and moaned,
And many a cypress gnarled by storm and wind
There in the moonlight they have left behind.
Into the mountains, all the night they rode,
On narrow ways, along the canyon's side,
[671]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Where moon and stars no more the pathway showed,
Till the bright dawn the flying lovers ride,
Then change their qourse, for path there is known,
And leave the horse and climb the rocks alone.
And still a day, now downward toward the sea,
Some ignis fatmts beckons them along ;
Though tired of limb and hungry they may be,
They think they hear some soft, sweet siren's song-
It is the sea-wave's voice alone they hear,
Forever sweet to any lover's ear.
And they have reached the hemmed-in ocean's shore,
Cliffs right and left, behind them but despair.
Are they pursued, there is not any more
The smallest hope of further flight than there:
But see, a ship is yonder passing by,
Or is't a phantom of the mist and sky?
Full-sailed it rides, yet scarcely passes on —
"Tis not a league," cried Ivan, "from the shore,
Trust to my arms: a thousand times I've gone
Down in the deeps and braved the ocean's roar.
Here it is calm, and yonder ship may prove
A rest from flight, a refuge place for love."
And they are gone into the mist and wave,
Far out of sight of each pursuing one.
If in the sea they find a lover's grave,
Now who may know, since mist and ship are gone !
Time and the sea, no matter, kind or rude,
Can cover all, pursuers, and pursued.
Still, from yon cliff, where fisher-folk repair
On moonlight nights the ocean to behold,
'Tis said they see, if but the mist be there,
A ship all shining like the ship of old,
And on the deck a lady walks serene,
Still in her wedding dress, of gold and green.

HELEN ELOISE BOOR TINGLEY, B. S., M. A.
Y PAPAL sanction Spain claimed upon discovery the
right of possession to the whole of the New World.
It was a natural result that the French, English, and
Dutch should resent this assumption; for it was not
in keeping with their spirit of enterprise that such a
claim should be tolerated. Therefore, an alliance for
mutual welfare and defense was formed among the adventurers of the
nations who considered their rights and privileges had been trans-
gressed.
What appeared to them as the arrogance of Spain had so chafed
them that their slogan meant mortal war with anything Spanish and
their name came to stand for sordid crime, cruelty, and bloodshed. Yet
among them were men whose motive was chivalry and whose ideal was
justice. Among this gang of piratical adventurers were men of keen
intellect and good generalship. Such associations in all these nations
were bound in a brotherhood of loyalty, allegiance, and comradeship.
Their simple code of laws, which was as forceful as martial law, bound
them to share the necessities of life with their fellows. Each had a
comrade, a constant, loyal companion in life, who succeeded to his
property at his death.
The members of these associations came to be known as bouca-
neers.* The centre of their operations was in the Caribbean Sea,
among the islands of the Florida archipelago and the keys and islands
of the West Indies, especially the Island of Tortuga, where they at first
found maintenance in their reprisals on the Spaniards; but later, be-
coming more lawless, they indulged in indiscriminate piracy. Their
chief occupation, when not chasing the Spaniards, was the chase of
•More commonly spelled bucaneer, or buccaneer.
[689]
THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
wild animals. The skins and tallow of these they sold or bartered with
the traders. The meat was smoked and sun dried in a peculiar manner.
Such preserved meat was called by the natives boucan, whence the
derivation of the name of the organization.
The first headquarters of these professional pirates at Tortuga,
becoming a hornet's nest to the Spaniards, was destroyed by them when
the first opportunity afforded itself. But, like disturbed hornets, the
boucaneers began to make life more miserable for the Spaniards. Many
towns and small settlements were obliged to ransom their freedom
from attack. Retiring to the keys off the southern coast of Florida,
they used them as retreats after plunderous expeditions, and it was not
until the American Navy had been well established that the last of
them were driven from their haunts.
The terrors of the Spaniards were increased by the ghastly ap-
pearance of the boucaneers, as well as by the knowledge of their
treacherous profession. Wearing a shirt and trousers, dyed in the
blood of cattle, buskins, a narrow peaked cap, and a leather girdle, into
which were fastened pistols, sabres, and knives, the boucaneers must
have presented to the early settlers of Florida an appearance as dis-
agreeable as the Indians in their war-paint. Is it any wonder that
when in 1665, two and a half centuries ago, St. Augustine, in the days
of its primitive protection and illy constructed fort, should have quailed
at the sight of several vessels of freebooters under the leadership of
one of the most desperate of these men or terror?
An Englishman, Captain Davis, with seven or eight vessels, left
the Indies to intercept the Spanish plate-fleet,* returning from New
Spain to Europe. Failing in this crafty undertaking, he scoured the
coast of Florida until, arriving at St. Augustine, he landed and
marched upon the town.
At that time St. Augustine was protected with a fort, built largely
of wood and earth. Coquina rock had been discovered in 1580 and had
been used to strengthen the fort. Two towers had been erected. The
fort was octagonal in shape, its exterior and interior walls being-six-
teen feet apart filled with earth well rammed. Dewhurst says that
it was defended with two hundred men. So, while St. Augustine was
fortified, the fort was not strong and the garrison was an ineffectual
defense.
But to this fort the population of St. Augustine thronged. Davis
•"The vessels engaged In transporting masses of precious metal; especially, the vessels which trans-
ported to Spain the products at the mines In Spanish America." — The Century Dictionary.
[690]
AN ENGLISH RAID IN FLORIDA
with his gang sacked and plundered the city unresisted. It is said that
at that time the inhabitants were so poor that Davis got little booty,
and we can well believe this tale when we read letters, written about
this period, which tell of the people's sacrifices, of unpaid labor, and
heavy expenses.
Finally, the fort had to be abandoned, and Davis plundered, but
did not destroy it. After his departure the Spaniards returned, with
the realization that a stronger defense was necessary, and at this junc-
ture begins the history of the strong fortification of St. Augustine.
