She came to the door and listened.
Again came the dull, thunderous
sound. For a moment she listened
and then burst out sobbing.
What's the matter mother? Does
It scare you? I'm not afraid"
She stopped over and gathered me
to her breast. THE war is over The

but she said It over and over. "The
war is over and your father is COM

Broken hxdropIans At Sea.

A broken hydroplane was picked up
at sea on the north coast OF Scotland
about week ago by the trawler Lord
Durham. when outward bound for the
fishing on the Farce islands The por-
ton is about 16 feet In length, bst
there are no Identification marks. It
has been deposited with the receiver
Of wrecks at Grimsby. There appears
to be some mystery In connection with
the matter The admiralty have sta.
tons In Orkney and at Cromarty, but
80 far as is known publicly there has
been no accident Of kind to leave
portion Of hydroplane floating In the
water. II will be recollected that
some time ago there was an accident
at Cromarty to pilot who had taken
the first lord OF the admiralty up for
several flights there. but the machine
was not left In the sea. The exact
place where the part OF de hydro
plane was picked up Is not given. and
unless there has been an unreported
naval mishap. It In impossible to ae-
count for the find. II may be recalled
that at various times. as far north al
Shetland and south to the Buchan
coast, and especially In Orkney. ru.
mors Of strange aircraft heard at
night were rife. The stories were
never authenticated, and were gener-
ally disbelieved. In any case, they
happened so long ago that the alleged
airships of that time can hardly be
connected with the Lord Durham's
freight.

Left Capital Vulnerable.

One hundred years ago the residents
Of Washington we're seriously dis

were planning an expedition for the
capture Of their city. Grave as was
the danger, the authorities were slow
to move. After considerable delay a

sembled and placed under the COM
mand Of the veteran Commodore Bar
ney. who had served with distinction
In the Revolution. But the land de-
lenses were almost totally neglected.
Though the government called for 49,
900 troops, the actual defense force
about the national capital consisted OF
but a few hundred militia. In conse.
quence. when the British finally
marched on the city in midsummer
they encountered little opposition.

DAY OF UNION AND LIBERTY
This 10 the Time the Nation Should
Remember the Debt II Owes to
the Veterans.

On May 30, 1862, there was no such
smiling land as we see this day. Then
the booming Of the guns alternated
with q dead march four years long;
today we see an exultant republic,
running eagerly forward to meet its
fuller and more glorious destiny.
And whom shall we thank for this?
The venerable men who walk or ride
on Memorial day beneath their sacred
battle fags, and the men who sleep
today beneath the blue Of the sky
and the stars Of the night. How great
their sacrifice! Some gave literally
all they had-even their names. They
lie in unmarked trenches, their very
place Of sepulture forgotten. Their
names are lost, and they have gained
a name the which neither man nor
time can wrest from them--the name
Of Patriot.
Their prowess gave US peace;
Undying be their fame.
