Why Foreign Nomenclature Often Pug.
xiss American Readers.
Foreign geographical names often
prove confusing to American readers
because each European country has q
name Of its own for each Of its cities,
rivers and other geographical feat
lures. Every other nation has DIFF
ferent name for the same thing. Amer
lean Biographies follow the English In
their nomenclature. but often employ
different pronunciation.
For example. we call one Belgian
city Antwerp. while the Belgians and
French call It Anvers. We term an
other Belgian city Mechlin, while at
home 1t Is termed Malines. The river
Mouse Is pronounced in Belgium and
France very nearly as we would pro.
nounce It, while the Germans pro
nounce It AZ IL it were spelled Moysay,
and the people Of the Netherlands call
It the Mas. Brussels Is spelled Brux.
Giles at home. and the nnal g Is not pro.
nounced. Dendermonde, on the river
Bender. is pronounced Dandermond by
its Inhabitants. but it is known as Ter.
monde In most Of the Biographies.
Aalst IL also spelled Alost. Louvain Is
Leuven at home. Vienna Is Wien and
Client Ia Gand.
So one might 60 down the line. tits

and agree upon nomenclature that

MILITARY ARcHERs.

Bows and Arrows Were Used In Battle
Up to q Century Ago.
We think Of the bow and arrow as
medieval weapons Of war abandoned
by the nations of Europe four Or five
centuries ago. The bowmen Of Crecy
are the last of any prominence in Eng.
lish history. Yet 1t is uhly about 100
years since soldiers fought with bows
and arrows in European wars, and
that, too. on the fields Of southern Bel

the allied nations brought every posi-.

STA. To the war she sent soldiers from
the newly conquered tribes that dwelt
upon the steppes Of Asia-Bokharans
and Turkomans and Tartars and other
half savage peoples Many Of these
regiments were armed with bows and
arrows.
Jomini, the military historian, speaks
Of great number of these that fought
side by side with the Prussians in
eastern Germany and in Belgium. and
he says that these bowmen held their
own against the French infantry.
Their aim. he says, was surprisingly
good, and they could shoot an arrow
with effect almost as far as a muskes
ball was effective. but in those days
that was not much more than l0o
yards.-Exchange.

Of ammunition. Then there are the

All the soldiers with one exception
carry knife. fork and spoon. water

who are the exception, carry wooden
spoon only. which they keep in their
boots. There Is also supply of food

DEMOCRATIC COM
MITTEE MEETS.
REGISTRARS TO MAKE
LIST OF REGISTERED VOTERS OF
EACH SITTING LET EVERY DEM
OCRAT REGISTER ON TUESDAY.

A meeting of the Democratic Cen
trail Committee of Westminster was
held on the 18th, at the Advocate
office; it was attended also by numer-
GUS Democrats from over the District,
and the registration next week was
thoroughly discussed. 1t was decided
to ask the Democratic Registrars to
make a list Of all people registered
each day. and turn it in to the Chair
man OF the local committee; another
meeting would then be held, when the
Democrats on the poll list who had
registered would be checked orr, %
that full attention could be concen-
trated the last two days on those un-
registered.
The committee also deemed il i'm
portant and has made arrangements
to Immediately find out the names OF
all people who have moved out Of the
district, and where they have gone SO
they can notify the Committees in
other Districts and Counties to see
that they are registered.
1t was the unanimous opinion of all
present that it is the duty of every
Democrat to see his neighbors and
urge them to register promptly next
Tuesday or Wednesday. Illness might
intervene preventing registration on
the last days. The importance Of this
registration can not be underesti-
mated for it means not only vote
this fall, but failure to register will
prevent participation in the next pri-
maries when our full local ticket i to
be nominated.
