ASHINGTON'S FAME EXTOLLED OVER CITY Noted Most for His Lofty Character, Asserts Col. Parsons. SERVICES IN CHTRCHES Bishop Manning Demands Return to Old Time Morality. VETERAN FIREMEN OUT Bishop Burgess Attacks Statesmen Who Think Only of Careers. In keeping with a custom established in tho church a quarter of a century ago, special Washington Day services, with an attendance largely made up of representatives of patriotic societies, were held yesterday in the Church of tho Holy Communion, at Sixth avenue and Twentieth street.

Twenty-six societies were represented, amor.ar Oiem the Society of the Cincinnati, the Sons of the American Revolution, the Colonial Dames, the lOOclety of Colonial Wars, the Loyal the G. A. the American iiegion and the Roosevelt Memorial The services were conducted by the the Rev. Henry Mottet, and "frtti nrlnoinfll nrldrnue nroo hv Col. William Barclay Parsons.

He stressed the point that it was Washington's lofty character, rather than his achievements either as a soldier or statesman, which made him first in the hearts of his countrymen and kept his memory as an inspiration and example. He said: "A character such as Washington's never dies; his nobility, his sense of duty to country and his conception and practice of justice are still living inspiration to us Just as they were to his men who followed him. It was Washington's character that saved the Revolution. It is his character which has ever actuated our national life and is and always will be our priceless heritage." Services at St. Pant's, The American Sulgrave Institution, which is custodian of the home of Washington's ancestors at Sulgrave, England, held a service in St.

Paul's Chapel, where Washington worshiped when ht was a resident 01 mis cny. wasmngion pew was draped and had In it a wreath of oak and laurel from Sulgrave. The services were conducted by the Rev. Joseph P. McComas, vicar of St.

Paul's, and Bishop Frederick Burgess of the diocese of Dong Island made an address. The Bishop declared that the lessons of Washington's life are especially needed by a class of statesmen active to-day, who are above the class of mere politicians In ability but think little of he right or wrong of legislation proposed to them and are content If they vote in what they deem to be the right direction for the good of their own political futures. One of the chief features of the day In Brooklyn, as It has been on Washington's Birthday for many years, was the parade of the Kings County Volunteer Firemen's Association, most of whose members are well beyond 70 and whose "march" now Is made up of a slow moving line of automobiles trailing behind the old hand engines used fifty years ago. Ruloff Lott, 98, and William Gregory. 0 4, were the oldest of the men who turned out.

the boy of the aggregation being John R. Byrne, clerk of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn and president of the old firemen's association.

Bishop William T. Manning was the principal speaker at memorial services hy the Brotherhood of St. Andrew In Synod Hall In Cathedral Parkway.

He fold how the life of Washington showed the necessity for citizens of a great 'country to realize that their country could be great only with the permission and help of their Creator. He urged a return to what nowadays Is so often called old fashioned morality and Insisted that the truths set forth In the Bible are the foundation of national life. EGYPT HAILS WASHINGTON.

Willis, of Ohio, who rcnmeni icliuiiik in United States Senate, speaking: yesterday I at Carnegie Hall at the annual celebration of the Sons of the Revolution, declared amid cheers that "the lndepend- i ence won by the sword of Washington must never be signed away by the pen of any of his successors." "I'm glad you liked that," said Sen- ator Willis at the end of the applause. Then, after emphasizing his belief In the wisdom of Washington's warning against foreign entanglements he added i "I will do all In my power to prevent our independence from being signed away on any pretext or surrendered to any super government." I Senator Willis said that to make the world function properly again a rei paircr and not a wrecker is needed. Ho saia mai uc recent conterence in admirably played the role of repairer.

Under the four Power treaty, he said, "there is no yielding of sovereignty, no surrender of independence." He added "The difference between the Versailles treaty and the work of the armament conference is the same as the difference between a factory and a repair shop. Those engineering the Versailles treaty seemed to proceed on the theory that world government and Institutions were broken beyond repair and that It there- fore was necessary to build anew on the hopeles ruins of the old. "The work of the Washington conferj ence is America's answer to a world crying aloud for relief. It is humanity's i challenge to the war god. The fact that i the Senate itself Is in part responsible for the action guarantees early ratlflea- tlon.

The Minister of Finance, Charles de uttotcync, saia no was conziucnL inai the cooperation of the two great democracies of the world would contribute immensely to the settlement of the grave problems of the moment and restore the balance of the world. Prance had been represented as militaristic, but, he declared, "you who live here among our bereavements know well that all we want is peace such as Washington would have wanted." Representatives of fifteen Central and South American countries attended a Washington's Birthday luncheon given In their honor by Mr. Herriek. The diplomats cabled the following message of friendship to President Harding and the American people: "The representatives of the Latin American nations, gathered together In the American Embassy at the invitation of the distinguished Ambassador to celebrate the anniversary of George Washington's birthday, send their greetings to His Excellency the President of the United States and express their most ardent wishes for his personal happiness and for the welfare and prosperity of the great nation for which the American democracies feel the most profound idmlratton and cordial and unalterable friendship." Rafael Martinez Ortiz, the Cuban Minister, replying to Ambassador Herrick.

spoke on the friendship between the United States and 'South American countries, and declared It could be said without fear of contradiction that no country, large or small, had ever appealed to the United States In vain. Proof of this fact, he said, was the existence of so many small states at the rery door of the American republic.

Trick is under way at the Frick home, Fifth avenue and Seventieth street. Authoritative information regarding this enterprise and Its ultimate meaning to the public was obtained yesterday for the first time. The aim of the project is In accord with Mr.

Frick's wishes that the legacy of his art should, in. every possible way, encourage the study and appreciation of the fine arts in America. So far as is known, there is only one other art reference library of the Kina in ine woria, mat or rt-ODeri Witt, at 32 Portman square, London, This library, which has taken more than twenty years to assemble, is the model for the Frlck library. The aim of the Witt library in London and the Frick library in New York is to file a photographic reproduction of every painting and drawing of ancient or modern times, together with facts re- lating to the history and present loca- tion of the work in question. Data Only Dates From J.tOO.

Obviously the task is gigantic. Only i I paintings and drawings of Western distinguished from Oriental? will be included, and for the present only works produced after the twelfth I century. But an attempt will be made I to include in the collection every known drawing or painting by a reputed Western artist produced between the twelfth century and i In dealing with modem art the problem is not so simple, both by reason i of the greater volume of work extant and the difficulty of separating the works of value from those comparative- ly worthless. To meet this difficulty only those modern artists are to be represented whose works are In national galleries. Representations of the plastic arts may be added later.

I Although work In the Fricl: library I has been under way little more than a year, some 15.000 Items have been collected, classified and placed on file. Fifteen trained librarians, research workers and assistants have been at work in temporary quarters In the basement of the big house. Friends in Ron- don and in Paris are collecting material, obtaining photographs of public and private collections, ferreting out information from archives and records and catalogues. Photographers are at work both in this country and In Europe making prints of pictures and drawings that have never before been photographed. A storeroom in the Frick house is filled from floor to ceiling with "raw catalogues and works of reference that have been gathered from all conceivable sources.

Information for llmearchrm. Kach picture or orawing is allotted a single manila card about 13I4 by 10 Inches, or a smaller standardized card If the print is small. On the front of the card is a photocranh or production of the work, with the name of the artist and title of the work, the name of the collection to which It belongs and a description of the material on which It Is drawn or painted and the signature or date. On the back of the card are a bibliography and data on whether a copy or replica la in existence.

In the case of a famous work like "Blue Boy" there is little difficulty in keeping the data clear. But for less known works this, of course.

Is far more difficult. In the search for life histories of art works, sale and auction catalogues have proved of the greatest service. Thus the Frick library Includes a separate collection of sale and auction catalogues from 1748 down to the week after next's sale of paintings at the American Art Galleries. Just when the library and the art col- lection will be turned over to the public no one can tell. This is subject to the wishes of Mrs.

Henry C. Frick and Miss Helen C. Frick, who still make the man- slon their home. The librarians expect soon to answer i questions sent by mail. No other type of information except the historical or genealogical, will be available from this library.

Questions of merit and rank, taste and esthetic appreciation will not be answered. Although there are various libraries of photographs in this country, there is none of the nature and completeness of the Friclc Library. In the museums and public libraries, as in the colleges, the photograph collections are kept to be studied ordinarily for the intrinsic interest of the pictures themselves, and the information accompanying them Is fgr less complete than in this collection. TWO GEORGES TEXT nr cprrru PSTB Washington and Harvey as Seen by Missouri Man. Chicago, Fob.

denunciation of Georgo I.irvey, American Ambassador to Great Ttritain, in which he urged that Ambassador Harvey be recalle-d and "his recent performances erased from the recollection of man," was mad? bySenator James A. Reed of Missouri tonight in a speech before the Chicago council, Friends of Irish Freedom. "America has produced two great Washington, the Father of his country, and George Harvey, duly accredited Ambassador to the Court of St. James's," he said. "Washington was America's great patriot, Harvey is England's greatest to-day.

Washington expressed the soul of America, Harvey the spirit of sycophancy and toadyism. "Washington addressed his country beneath the American flag; Harvey spoke to an audience of ex-patriots, toadies, Tories and nobles beneath the Union Jack of Great Britain. Washington sleeps in honor, his memory fresher with the passing years. Harvey ought to be recalled and his recent performances erased from the memory of man. "I do not preach hatred for the British.

I preach love for America. I am willing England should run her course. We seek no interference there. But we will be true to ourselves. We will steer by the stars Washington and the Revolutionary fathers gave to the skies of liberty." I 1 I fi Si i1 tl rI tl Net 23, 1922.

PRAISES PRESIDENT AND SEVEN TREATIES Dwight Morrow at Smith College Quotes of Mr. Harding. Special Dispatch to The New Toek Hshai.d. Northampton, Feb. 22.

A sentence from President Harding's address, submitting the seven treaties agreed upon at the Washington conference to the Senate, was the keynote of Dwight W. Morrow's Washington Day address to the students of College i here to-day. The quotation from Pre-I- I dent Harding's address was: "I am il ready to assume the sincerity and the dependability of the assurances of our i neighbors of tiie Old World that they 1 will respect our rights. Just as I know we mean to respect theirs." Mr. Morrow referred to the famous 1 remark attributed to John Somers when Lord High Chancellor of England in explanation of the four great wars be- tween the two nations In the period from lf.RS to nukerl I cerning the cause Somers contented himself with saying that he "had been I bred up in a hatred of France." Lord I Bolingbroke, commenting on the answer, said It was a strange one for a wise man to make, but doubted whether any man could give a better one now.

"That brings me to this noble sen- tence from President Harding's ad- dress," said Mr. Morrow. "If we can only hold fast to those simple prlnci- pies what a mighty step forward there I will have been in international rela- tlonshipsl It will not be easy. On the contrary, it will be very hard. There Is not a single specific covenant In any of the new treaties which will be so hard to keep as that pimple promise of our President." WASHINGTONLETTER ASKS FOR A PENKNiFE St.
