Clara Barton was also the recipient of many diplomas of honor, resolutions, votes of thanks and commendations from rulers of nations, legislative bodies, relief Committees and distinguished or titled personages. In her home at Glen Echo the visitor could see many of these, together with great flags of foreign nations which had been presented to her as tributes to, and testimonials of, Clara Barton’s great work for humanity. [Illustration: BADGES, MEDALS, DECORATIONS ] The unintentionally offending official, on receiving the foregoing letter, forthwith resigned his position in the Society; but the author of the “unseemly screed” continues “full of honors”—a _shining_ Red Cross light to the youth of this country, while the “screed” remains of record as a blot on the fair name of the Red Cross Founder. Contrasting Patriotic West towards the memory of the Father of his Country and Political Washington towards the memory of the Mother of the Red Cross, about this time there appeared the following pertinent-to-the-occasion Associated Press dispatch: JAIL WASHINGTON’S LIBELER Tacoma Man Must Serve 4 Months for Attack on First President. Olympia, Wash., Dec. 29.—As a libeler of George Washington’s memory, Paul Haffer, of Tacoma, must serve four months in the county jail, the Washington supreme court today upholding the conviction of Haffer on a criminal libel charge. Haffer published an article accusing the first President of the United States of drunkenness and other irregularities. _Washington Post_, Dec. 30, 1916.
