Lafayette was allowed to lanGuish in
German prison FOR years with no effort
by America to have him released. The
same was true of Thomas Paine, eX-
cept that he was imprisoned in France
and one American, James Monroe, did
come to his rescue when Paine would
soon have been released anyway. To
repay France for coming so nobly to
our aid John Adams, Hamilton and
Washington proposed to make war on
her less than twenty years after the
Revolution ended.
AS for Paine, the real author of the
Declaration of Independence, when he
returned to America it was to be neg
lected and lied about more cruelty than
perhaps any character in history. No
wonder the world talked about the 'in-
gratitude of republics"
In the case of poor Steuben we are
about to make up for our shabby
treatment of him by building him Il
monument 11G years after his death.
That should help us square ourselves
with our cOnscicnces, though It does
little good to Steuben. Perhaps he was
great enough not to need our gratitude
or rewards, so if we salve our own
consciences the debt will be settled so
far rs he is concerned. Whether we
build monuments TO him or not, his
fame Is secure.
Perhaps our children's children may
emerge far enough from our sordid
selfshncss to see some things as they
are, and then the "drillmaster of the
Revolution" will be accorded the fame

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov, 14.-When
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor has
called the 3Oth convention of that
body - ORDER here, to-day, union
labor in America buckled down to
consideration of the gravest set of
problems 1t has faced in years
The most vital of these problems
Is whether unionism shall stand aloof
from politics or whether 1t shall
choose the newly elected Socialist
congressman, Victor Berger of Mil
waukee, as its president and thus
make the labor posts part of the
socialist movement. Another crucial
question to be decided Is as to the
Federations stand on the "Closed
shop" question. Headed by Berger, the
radicals are expected to make n fight
for condemnation of Gomper's policy
IF compromise and to force a discus
sion on possible national strike
whereby labor might stand together
generally to 'compell settlement of
trouble problems at the hands OF
capital. That Berger is to make try

ToMBs or, THE PAAaAoHs.
Inc Precautions Taken to Guard
Against Grave Robbers.


The ingenuity displayed by the an.
cient Egyptians to prevent robbers
from breaking into the pharaohic
graves merits admiration from present
day engineers, writes DR.. Holscber
chief architect in the Prussian govern
ment, In work on the sarcophagus
OF hhafra, the builder of the second
Gizeh pyramid, who reigned in Egypt
some 5000 years ago.
Tho lid Of the red granite sarcopb.
agus was dovetaled with minnie
precision into the receptacle. To pre
vent the cover from being drawn back
the Egyptian builders bored two holes
In the lid at the edge, not showing
above. These corresponded exactly
with two similar holes, less deep than
the other two, sunk in the front of tho
receptacle. Two copper bolts were then
placed In the lid holes, and at the mo-
ment the sarcaphagus was fully closed
the holes met and the bolts dropped
In position from the upper holes partly
into the lower, thus making Il impos
sible to move the lid.
1t must have struck the Egyptian
engineers that grave robbers might
get at the body by turning the sarcoph.
agus upside down. in which case the
bolts would glide back into their orig.
inal position and permit the lid being
drawn out. To prevent this they filled
the lower holes with wax and made
the lOltQ bnt I1nnn fba IiJa
placed In position the bolts melted
their way into the wax and upon cool
ing became so firmly fixed that moth
ing short of complete destruction could
open the royal tomb.
II must have been herculean labor
to hew the whole edge away. but that
Is what grave desecrators did, and the
wax can still be seen In the bore holes

gained such distinction that he was
made member of the staff of Freder.

Before leaving Germany Baron Won
Steuben decided his annuity and prop

countenance the Gates faction in its
plots against Washington, reported to
the commander in chief mt Valley

during that terrible winter.
1t is not too much to say that he rev.

He participated in the battle of

Greene in the south, opLesed Benedict

prepared manual for the army which
came into universal use. After the war
he lived in virtual poverty in New

congress TO recompense him for his
services In the Revolution. He then re,

services to American freedom. In fact,
all the recognition ever given to Steu-
ben was tardy. After the Revolution
he was left TO starve for years, but
finally congress voted him a belated
annuity of 5000 a month. Several
states gave him tracts of wild lands
which would be valuable enough in a
century, but on which he could scarce
ly have realized a cent at the time.
Yet he retired to live on one of these
tracts in New York state. where he
erected log house. At his death he
was buried in the forest, and there
was nothing but cheap slab to mark
his grave. Years later the onterprising
citizens who settled in the vicinity
wanted road and did not hesitate to
run IL directly over the grave. Then
the German-Americans and a few other
patriots took up the body, removed it
TO distant knoll and erected over the
new grave a monument This was
kindly defaced by relic hunters until
even the name was gone.
This treatment of Steuben was not
the only example of our gratitude.
