PICKERING. Yorkshire. England,
April 7.—Here, near his, ancestral
home, a memorial tablet to Walter |
Hines Page,-friend of England and j
American ambassador to the court of :
St. James throughout the great war, j
was unveiled yesterday by the pres- j
• tit American ambassador, Frank B. j
Kellogg. Mr. Kellogg left the. Brit- |
ish capital for the first time since his ■
arrival in November lo participate in j
r i he ceremonies and deliver the address ,
of the day. The services were con
ducted by the Archbishop of York and I
• many prominent persons in the official
and social life of northern England
attended.
The Page tablet is a part of an
American memorial in the Church of
“St. Peter and St. Paul, an ancient ed
•> iflce built on the site of a Saxon
church. In medieval times the pres
: ent church was a chantry, later a j
school and in the nineteenth century I
was used as a choir vestry. In 1902 '
tiie building was used as a chapel and j
since has been thoroughly restored. j
Nicholas King Monument.
In the chancel on the north wall of j
the church there is an American mon- |
■intent commemorating Nicholas King, j
surveyor of the city of Washington.
* who died in 1812. this monument be
ing the center of an American me- I
mortal, on either side of which Arrter- |
ican flags are displayed permanently.
1 Above the memorial is a plate refer- !
, ring to Anglo-American co-operation I
during the great war and. as a pend- j
:mt to this plate, another, the Page '
* memorial, was affixed.
t In his memorial address, delivered
in the twilight shadows of the sev
enth anniversary of America’s entry
into the war, Ambassador Kellogg |
characterized Walter Hines Page as ,
the man who did more than any other
’ in American public life to make par
, ucipation of the United States posgi-I
ble. He never ha.d any illusions about
the outcome. He was at one time
deeply chagrined at what he thought
. a want of firmness shown by the
President in his dealings with Ger
many, but Mr. Kellogg said he would
not assume to pass judgment upon
• this question, for the events which i
‘ marked this critical period had passed
, into history, and the chief actors had
passed from life's stage.
Sought to Avoid Horrors.
"However," he continued, "it may
be said that England herself was slow i
to realize the vastness of the conflict
and that in the American form of gov
, emment only a united country can i
carry on war. It was only natural ,
that the President sought some means ;
’ to avoid the horrors of war.
“Mr, Page, on the contrary, was fn 1
the midst of the conflict, where he j
could hear the rumble of the Flan
ders guns; came into daily contact |
, with the chief actors in the great '
tragedy, saw sorrowing homes and 1
the sacrifice of young manhood, and I
. widows in tears. Above all, he right- '
ly judged the great issue for which !
western civilization was battling 1
and it must be said that Mr. Page’s I
, prophesies came true.’’

WILL NOT REDUCE WATER]
Weeks Calls Chicago's Fears of
Epidemic Groundless.
Secretary Weeks today expressed
as groundless the recently expressed
fears of thousands of ciUzens of Chi
cago that there would be an epidemic •
of disease there this summer because
of the expected reduction of the water
passing through the drainage canal.
The amount of water now being car
ried, about 8,000 cubic feet a second, ;
will not be reduced by the War De
partment, he said, and the matter will
remain in statu quo at least until
November, when the appeal of the
city of Chicago against the circuit
court's ruling that the supply exceeds
the legal limit comes up for hearing
before the United States Supreme
Court.
