"On no other battleground, In presence of no other memorial of heroism, could we find more assuring illumination of our hopes, our anticipations, our confidence.” The President paid high tribute to the little revolutionary band which “trudged through storm and torrent; but from here, in the hour of victory, sent out winged messengers to let all men know that liberty was safe in ’ho keeping of her sous.” After tracing the steps which led to victory, he declared that though "battles have seldom decided the fate of peoples,” yet "among the exceptions, among the cases in which a particular confilct has had consequences and reverberations far greater hi their potency than could possibly be imagined from a consideration of the numbers engaged, or the Immediate results, none stands out more dlstinctlj than does tbe Trenton-Prlnceton campaign.” Following Is address President Harding was given as honorary degree on the steps of Old Nassau Hall.

LONDON, June 9.—British distillers cannot supply the demand for liquors which has arisen in the United States since the prohibition laws became effective, it was revealed today by lord De war, one of the leading distillers of Scotch whisky in Great Britain. The liquor manufacturing interests of Great Britain would welcome a campaign on this side of the Atlantic by American prohibitionists. Lord Dewar added. He said that his business in America had aroused such a thirst that the whisky business in Eur-qw is more prosperous than ever. “The British cannot supply one-fifth of the American demand for whisky under prohibition," continued Lord De.war. “If prohibition did that to the United States think of the rush of business we would rlo with American prohibitionists at work in Europe." Lord Dewar dropped the subject without revealing how the liquor is sent into the United States. The smuggling is up to the persons who purchase whisky in Canada or., the West Indias.

STREET COSTS *■ FALL TO NEW ' LOW FIGURES Asphalt Figures for Work Drop More Than $1.50 Per Sq. Yd. Since January. - Prices for permanent Improvement of streets with asphalt in Indianapolis have been cut more than $1.50 a square yard since January, figures, made public today by City Civil Engineer John I. Elliott, show. The new low level is $2.47 a square yard, established by the Marion County Construction Company, one of the first to cut prices in response to the engineer’s ultimatum in March, that $4.10 a square yard was too high. The contractor bid $2.47 a square yard for per"* manent improvement of Michigan street from Ritter avenue to Graham street. Contractors said they simply could not afford to go any lower than $4 when the light started early In the spring. Elliott said they must cut to approximately $3 or he would not recommend any contracts. The board of works did not agree with him. He threatened to resign. Finally, Mayor Shank settled the scrap. Elliott and. the board started cooperating. The board stood pat on Elliott's price stand. Some contractors came down to the engineer's price ideas. They got some contracts. Others did not. Contractors voluntarily have been shaving their bids, until today the new low mark was set. Throughout a paving season a cut of Sl.oO a square yard would mean a saving to property owners, who are directly assessed for such Improvements, of nearly SIOO,OOO, it is estimated. The engineer announced the Indiana Asphalt Paving Company has come under $3 a square yard for the first time. It bid $2.84 on permanent Improvement of Ruckle street from Nineteenth street to Twenty-First street. The Marion County Construction Company has bid $2.59 a square yard for permanent improvement. with asphalt of Rural street from Southeastern avenue to the first alley north of Newton street land the same figure for asphalt paving of Jefferson avenue from Tenth street to Xowiand avenue, Elliott said.

PAVING ISSUE TO BE SETTLED BY COMMISSION Chairman McCardle Thinks Matter May Be Ironed Out in Thirty Days. A move to place the question of whether the Indianopolis Street Railway Company must bear the expense of paving between its- tracks formally before the public service commission was to be made by the board of public works this afternoon. Corporation Counsel Taylor E. GToninger said he conferred with Chairman John W. McCardle of the commission upon the question. Mr. McCardle suggested that the commission could give a ruling in thirty days if ' the matter were formally brought to its attention. The question is moot because the street railway company surrendered its franchise. The franchise required it to pave tracks. The board of works was to issue a formal order directing the company to pave a stretch of track, probably on a street in Brightwood. The utility then can appeal to the commission from the order.
