THEN

One hundred and twenty years ago
today the balloon made its first sue
cessful appearance as an engine of
war. II was at the battle of Fleurus
during the French Revolution. 1t was
this balloon that enabled the revolu-
tionists to win the battle and subse-
uuently establish the French republic.
At sunrise of this day the huge silken
bag, inflated with hydrogen, was tug
ging at its anchor ropes in the French
republican camp. The opening of the
battle was a signal for General Morlot
TO climb into the basket. The soldiers
slowly let out the cable until the bal
loon and aeronaut rose high above
the battlefield. Beneath him lay the
enemys lines in full view. While the
balloon gently eddied in the breeze
Norlot drew a sketch of the enemy $
strategic position and then tossed 1t
overheard in a heavy flag-bedecked
package. Thus every move of the foe
was reported to the commander-in-
chief on the ground below during the
ten hours in which the balloon remain
ed aloft. The commanders questions,
written out and attached to cord
that hung from the balloon, were
hauled up by the aeronaut and quickly
answered. The idea of using balloon
in warfare had been conceived, Dut
not used. twelve years before at the
siege of Gibraltar. At that time Joseph
Montgolfier, who later mades the
worlds first successful passenger-car-
rying balloon, proposed "to introduce
into Gibraltar an entire army, which
horne by the wind and a gas, Will en-
fer right above the heads OF the enc.
nv" But the siege was raised before
his idea could be demonstrated.

Papa, Jesus says | must go out

never go out any more"
"Of course, we were thunderstruck.
But Helen insisted this was Gods COM
mand that had come to her, and we
must obey. so her father carried her
downstairs and out into the yard AT
ter few minutes she asked to be ta-
ken up to her room again. Her father
carried her up and as he was laying
her on the bed she sprang up and
stood on her feet, looking at US with
a smile.
"lm all right" she said She dress
ed herself, ran downstairs and ate
dinner with us. She ran and leaped
about the house, and in the afternoon
she went out to play with her com
)anions."
Helen stood shyly by her mothers

years, with big dark eyes.
Helen" | asked her, when you
heard Jesus speak to you that day,
was it just voice that you heard in
your mind or speaking aloud as | am
alking to you now"
"Out loud" she answered, lust as
you are talking to me-"
And can you tell just what the
voice said?"
yes" she replied, every word. II
said Helen, you go out before four
o'clock If you don't you will never
go out any more and will never walk
another step. It-won't-hurt-yo
"The last four words were apart,
she explained. Then she went quickly

healed me. 1t was obyeing Gods com.
mand."

NOW

Today airships constitute one of
the most important factors in modern
warfare All the great world powers
have equipped their armies with
fleets of aeroplanes and dirigible bal
looms. and scientists are bending every
energy toward inYenting new eXplO-
sives and perfecting means of hurting
them from the clouds with greater
accuracy. Some authorities even pre-
dict that the next great war will be
fought in the clouds by squadrons ei
airships. Today American aviatOrs are
scouting over the Mexican lines
around Vera Cruz, and are demOnstrat
ing their marvellous utility. Equipped
with the latest devices, the ultra-mod
ern army scout can fly over the enc
my's country, sketch or photograph
the topography of the land below the
forts, cities and troop positions. by
wireless telegraph he can send back
the Information to ms headquarters
miles away. With the modern rapic
fire gun he can defend himself witt
a stream of pullets. Or he can droI
high explosive bombs from his lofty
craft, scattering death wherever il
strikes year ago it was reported 9
Mexican rebel aeronaut dropped q
bomb that killed 81 soldiers instantly
If 1t is night, the aeronaut can droI
a star bomb that explodes and SHEDS
a lasting and radiant light on the spot
he is lowering over. To escape from
the new aerial guns designed to fight
airships, the modern aeronaut car
drop the new German bomb thai
spreads a dense, heavy pail of smoke
between earth and airship and thu.

can drop another kind which gives of

Banquet at
M. E. Church

About one hundred and sixty men
marched around the public square
on last Wednesday evening singing
as they went the martial church
hymn, Coward Christian Soldiers"
The occasion was the banquet givenby
the mems class Of the Methodist Sun
day school to the men of the Wads-
worth Methodist Sunday school. The
latter came over to Medina in autos,
and it was a pretty sight to see. After
the parade, the men filed into the
dining rooms of the church, where a
delicious repast was enjoyed by all.
Thereupon, the men retired to the
main auditorium of the church, where
a program was given consisting of
toasts, music and an address by Wal
ter Soerheide, superintendent of mis-
sion work for the city of Cleveland.
The address had not come to it's end
when the sound of thunder in the air
caused the men to hasten to their
autos in order to avoid the wet clay
roads. (This is another good roads
argument.) Features Of the program
as rendered were the singing of "Sun-
day Morning" by Mr.. Doner, who is
the singing companion of Mr.. Soer-
heide; flute solo by Mr.. George Den
ton, the accompaniments played by
Mrs. W. ]. Wall, and the responses to
the toasts: what the Wadsworth
class gained thru the contest" by the
Rev. E. F. Wood, and "What the Me-
dina class gained thru the contest

4 The last man Of that host Of war
riors who took part in the battle of
Waterloo, one Of the most important
engagements in all history, died many
years ago. Aye, an hundred years
will have elapsed on the 18th day Of
next June since the awful conflict
which not only was the elimination Of
the campaign resulting from Napol-
cons escape from Ella, but signalized
the ending Of the Napoleon | regime.
In fact there are comparatively few
persons living who have known and
talked with veterans of that memor-
able battle.
! But there is living in Medina village
a citizen, by birth prussian, who
was intimately acquainted with man
who was in the thickest of the fight
under the great Prussian general,
Blucher, the latter, whose pres
ence with his heavy batalions at
the last hour put the French
and their monarch to rout,
This man is VIM. Duecker, cobbler for
L. 0. Fisher, the shoe merchant. The
veteran with whom he was acquainted
was one Valentine Krausman. Both
gentlemen were residing in Liverpool
England, at the time of their ac-
quaintance.
Mr.. Duecker recalls vividly many con
versations with the aged warrior Of
Waterloo, in one Of which the latter
related that at the close of the battle
there were only seven soldiers remain
ing alive Of his company, Of which he
was one. Duecker says that Kraus-
man claimed that he and his comrades
were moved by but one thought, and
