And There Was LIGHT.

Hardly had Rev. E. r. Bailey an
nounced the text, Let there be light"
to the colored congregation at the
Morning Star church, Baltimore, one
Sunday morning, when woman men,
Der sitting in one of the rear pews,
pointing her finger toward a corner of
the structure, and nudging her neigh
Dor. said: There is the light now"
The neighbor looked, and, sure
enough, there was light, for the
church was afire. The preacher pre-
vented panic by assuring the con-
gregation that all could get out with
out being harmed. Meanwhile the
sexton sent in an alarm and the
church was saved from destruction.

ENGLISH as Universal Tongue.

1t is a deeply interesting and re-
markable circumstance that the Chi
nese government has issued an edict
making English the official language
for scientific and technical education
throughout the empire. The action is
particularly significant Here is the
most conservative nation of history, a
people who are estranged by tempera-
ment and tradition from all that is
western and modern. They have
chosen English as the official language
of their scientific and technical
schools All this means that the Eng
fish people are the greatest factors
in our present-day civilization, and it
means, furthermore, that if the old
disaster of Babel tower is ever to be
undone it will be through the English
language

STAR FIRST PAPER IN
GETTYSBURG CAMP
Auto, in Sunday Morning Dash,
Beats Competitors by
Hour and a Half.

A sixty-horse power automobile load
ed with Sunday Stars swung into the
camp of instruction at Gettysburg yes
terday morning at o'clock, full hour
and a half ahead of the other Wash
ington papers. Hundreds of copies of
The Star had been sold and were be-
ing eagerly read by the District guards
men before the other papers reached
the camp.
The car left Washington at 2:1O am.
The trip was made by way of Rockville.
Frederick and Emmitsburg. The roads
are tolerably good between this city
and the last mentioned place. but from
Emmitsburg into Gettysburg there is
ten-mile stretch OF almost impossible
highway. This accounts for the conn
paratively slow time required to make
the eighty-mile journey in car
capable of making a mile a minute on
straightaway, smooth surfaced road.
When camp was reached the news
dealers were waiting in their tents with
large crops of boys in readiness for
the quick distribution Of the papers.
one of the dealers as he opened the big
bundles and passed out their contents
to the waiting boys.
Eagerly Bought Up.
In a few minutes more the boys were
yelling out through the company streets:
Sunday Star, first paper in camp"
The papers were eagerly bought. and
those who purchased them had finished
their reading in most instances by the
time the chagrined and disgruntled rep
resentatives of the other papers arrived
in camp with their wares.
It was such clear case Of beat
that The Star men on the ground were
the recipients of congratulations from
officers and men throughout the day.
The trip made by the Packard was
without unusual incident, and there was
no delay whatever from beginning to
end except that caused by the slow
speed required on the bad stretches Of
road.
