(By the Associated Frees)
Yorktown, Va., Oct. 19.—A doctrine
of enduring friendship between the
United States and Great Britain was
pronounced by President Harding to-
day at a ceremony commemorating
the surrender of the British expedi-
tionary forces here to the Revolution-
ary army of Washington.
Surrounded toy high officials of his
administration and standing In sight
of the spot where Cornwallis laid down
his sword in 1781, the president de-
clared in deliberately chosen words
and sentiment of peaceful relationship
between the two greet English speak-
ing nations for all time to come. That
either should ever again lift the sword
against the other, he said, must be
“unthinkable.”

Fred Marcus became known o'er the
city. Mr. Marcus died In the Sherman
hospital at 5:30 this morning after
a two weeks illness.
Mr. Marcus was taken 111 two weeks
ago and remained at his home where
he received treatment for a week when
a consultation was held regarding his
condition and he was removed to the
8herman hospital. Shortly after ar-
rival in Sherman he developed pneu-

until death relieved his suffering this
morning. The remains were moved to

day.

way here to hear the government’s
attitude through the railroad labor
board tomorrow.

to discuss ail phases of the strike sit-

Te Prepeso Rate Reductions.
Freight rate reductions approxi-
mately equivalent to the 13 per cent
wage reduction ordered last July 1 by
the railroad labor board, were indi-
cated as the probable basic sugges-
tion the labor board will propose,
with the becking of the administra-
tion, to avert the strike.
“1 understand,” said Commissioner
Ben W. Hooper, a member of the
“public” group of the labor board,
"that the interstate commerce com-
mission has' a number of Important
rate reduction cases on hand on which
it will act immediately. That will
give ue something to work on.**
The boards policy, aa outlined by
Commissioner Hooper, would propose
to the brotherhood chiefs Immediate

part, and their Influence is prevent-

In the United States decreased 1.7 per
cant from last May to September 1
and 18 per cent from June, 1920, to

from Portland, Maine, to 8.88 per cent
at Jacksonville, FIs., with New York
showing a decrease of 1.1 per cent

greatly strengthened liberal views in
the world. Inevitably, this liberal pub-
lic opinion, deliberate and grown dom-

America to a policy of accommoda-
tion and pacific adjustment for all Dur
difficulties. There has been honor-
able and unbroken peace for more
than a century, we came to common
sacrifice and ensanguined association
in the world war, and a future breach
of our peaceful and friendly relations
is unthinkable. In the trusteeship of
preserving civilisation, we were
naturally arrayed together, and the
convictions of a civilization worthy of
that costly preservation will exalt
peace and warn against conflict tor all
