GEORGE WASHINGTON, DEMOCRAT, CAME OF ROYAL STOCK Every Hen Its

GEORGE Washington, the revolutionist who finally shattered the power of royalty in America and waged a merciless war on the principle of aristocracy, was him- self an aristocrat with more than a trace of the blood royal in his veins.

He traced his descent to Edward I. and his Plan- tagenet predecessors; and, thus a kinsman of King John, he was also, by a supreme irony, related to nine of the 25 steel-clad barons who wrested the instrument of Magna Charta from that king in 1215.

The man who discovered this is Mr. Anthony Richard Wagner, 30-year-old, tall, dark, slim Portcullis Pursuivant, one of the junior Officers of Arms.

He was working on the British exhibit for the World's Fair to open In New York next April; and this will include Washington's pedigree. "Although conta-af-arms are not oMelal in America," said Mr. Wagner, numbers of American are extraordinarily keen on heraldry and tracing their own descents."
