FORTY OF Them
UNDER ARREST
Militants Attempt to Enter
Buckingham Palace.
MRS. PANKHURST LEADS

Mounted Police Block Progress Of
Suffragettes, Who Fight With Vigor
in Effort to Cut Their Way Through
Lines of PatroImen.
London, May 22-The police broke
up large column of militant suffra-
ingham palace for the purpose OF
handing petition to King George.
When the women reached the top of
Constitution hill leading to the palace
the police dispersed them and ar
rested Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst and
about forty others.
The police formed complete ring
around the palace and its grounds, as
the women threatened to scale the
high walls enclosing the gardens.
The skirmish between the police
and the suffragists was lively while
it lasted.
Mrs. Pankhurst, surrounded by a
bodyguard consisting of several hun
dred suffragettes, suddenly appeared
from the portal of residence oppo-
site the park, crossed the road to the
gates and attempted to march down
the drive to the palace. Mounted po
lice then barred her progress. The
women, who were armed with sticks,
attempted to cut their way through
the lines of patrolmen. They fought
with vigor, using their sticks with
such force that the police charged. :.
Several women were injured in the
struggle. The police also suffered
some casualties during the onslaught.
King George himself was an interest
ed spectator of the earlier movements
for his protection, watching them
from window OF buckingham palace.

Great Britain inspired The Star
Spangled Banner" one hundred years
have almost passed since Francis Scott
Key stirred his compatriots with his
thrilling poem, and Baltimore. under the
leadership of Mayor James Henry Pres
ton, is preparing to commemorate the
centennial OF that anthem in September,
The circumstances that inspired Key
10 write as he did were such as to
arouse patriotic sentiments. During
the year 1914 the British maintained a
blockade OF the Atlantic coast and under
the protection of the guns OF their SUI
perior squadrons landed troops at sew
eral points. In August of that year
they sent a fleet into Chesapeake Bay
and some of the ships entered the
Patuxent just north OF the Potomac.
There they landed force Of 5000.regu-
lar troops commanded by Gen. Ross and
these marched upon Washington
"then struggling town Of fewer than
5000 inhabitants"
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-28

In opposition the best the Americans
could muster was an inferior body,
mostly Of raw militia, and these were
posted at Bladensburg and between the
foe and the national capital. Gen. Rosss
seasoned men made short work Of the
defenders on August "a and the same
evening reached Washington. There
they burned the Capitol, the White
House and some other public buildings
Fearing the mastering Of superior
body Of Americans the British did not
linger, but FASTENED back to their ships
the night following. 1t was some of
Gen. Ross stragglers that unwittingiy
brought about the chain OF events that
eliminated in Keys poem.
But before taking up this part of the
story it is well to review the interna-
tional situation the better to grasp the
reason for Keys eXultation. His poem
voiced the heart throbs OF every loyal
American and 1t eptomized in senti-
ment events and their climax which
had been in the making from the first
day Americans battled with Great Bril-
tain for our independence. Long be-
fore 1912 Benjamin Franklin had said:
The war which closed with the sur
render OF CORVALLIS was but the War

and those siXty-one vessels cost Great
Britain's commerce matter OF sl6.-
100000. Indeed, in the language Of
the day, Baltimore was dubbed by the
enemy IA nest Of pirates" and in
tensely bitter was the British feeling
toward that particular port. The Eng
fish had a formidable rod picking for
that hated Maryland stronghold, and
they made no secret OF their intention.
Indeed. II seemed reasonably possible
that the enemy might be able To make
good its promise Of chastisement About
the middle OF August Admiral Cock
burns squadron was strengthened by
the arrival Of a fleet OF twenty-on-
vessels under Admiral Cochrane. and
this formidable array was augmented
shortly afterward by another force I'M
der Commodore Malcolm. These ships
were manned by Nelson's victorious
seamen and marines, and conveyed the
pick OF Great Britaln's troops-among
them the Duke OF welllngton's I'm
vincibles."
All of these men were battle veterans
and full Of the citation Of a long list Of
victories. Indeed. we'll may the British
have deemed themselves capable of cut
ting the country in twain from Canada
southwark, and the manner in which
Gen. Ross troops swept away the de-
tenders OF Washington and British ves-
sells forced Alexandria to purchase i'm

might be expected when the enemy
united in its attack upon hated Balti-

THE DEFENCE o? FORT McHENRY

Oh, say, see by the dawn's early light
What proudly hailed the twilghts last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright through the perous fight
Ger the watched CALAMITY streaming?
And the rockers red glare the bombs bursting in air.
Gave proof through the night that flag still there
Oh,asay, does that spangled banner
Oerthe land Of the free and the home OF the brave?
the Shore dimy through the mists OF the deep,
Where foes naughty host in dread silence reposes
What is that which the breeze DER the towering steep
As htiully blows half conceals half discloses?
Now il catches the CLEAN OF the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream
'Tis the spangled banner, oh long may il
Der the land OF the free and the home OF the brave.
And where is that band who vauningy
That havoc OF and the battles confusion
A home and q country should leave more?
Their blood has washed their foul footsteps pollution
No refuge could the hirelng and slave
From the Of flight the gloom Of the grave;
And the spanged banner in triumph doth
Der land Of the free and the home Of the brave.
Oh. thus be il when ireemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the wars desoladon;
Best with victory and the Heavn rescued land
Power that hath made and presevd a nation!
Then conquer when il is just,
And this be motto, In God is trust
And the spanged banner in triumph shall

Circular Gives Forest Facts

Striking facts regarding our forest resources, their value and their waste, are condensed in an eight.page illustrated circular of the American Forestry Association just issued. The lumber industry is said to employ 735,ooo people, to whom are paid annually S367,- ooo,ooo in wages, the worth of products being SI,25o, ,ooo,o ,ooo. The forests of the country cover $50, 100000 acres.
 An average of 70 human lives are sacrificed annually in forest fires, says the circular, and loss occurs of S25, 1000, 900. Damage from insects and tree diseases, which follow fire, costs each year $50, 1000, 900. The cost of destruc- ton resulting from floods is not estimated, but is given as count less millions"
 But the circular expresses hope more than pessimism. As we'll as the colored pictures showing the forest fire, the effects of the fire, and the damage caused by floods, it shows also forests planted and grown under intensive manage. ment, and the national forest ranger scouting for fires on the mountain lookout station. The effective patrol here referred to has reduced forest fire losses to as low as one-tenth of one cent an acre." It is pointed out that by planting forests an annual income could be derived in the country of S65 1000, ,ooo; and by preservative 1 treatment upon timber each year SIoo, ,ooo, 1000 could be saved.

Newspaper Dont's

Don't take your home paper. It is the most active and powerful factor in building up your town, and to support it would involve you in the work.
 Don't pay for it if you take it. Newspapers are run on wind, and the editor wouldn't keep the money anyway. He'd most likely pay it on his bills.
 Don't fail to tell the editor how to run the paper. He has noth- ing to do but to listen and keep his temper sweet.
 Don't put your name to what you want published. It's the editors business to espouse un- popular causes and take your chestnuts out of the fire. What hurts your business might also hurt-but that's different.
 Don't notify the editor when you change your postoffice ad- dress. He may lose track of you and you will escape paying the last two or three years of your subscription.
 Don't forget to write on both sides of the paper. The printers might forget how to swear.
 Don't write your communica tions legible.
 Deciphering them keeps thu editor busy and he is able to make an occasional blunder, which pro notes good feeling all around.
 Don't imagine that the news paper man has anything to do Newspapers print themselves ant the ravens feed the printers. .-Ex

ABSENCE MAKES HIS
 HEART GROW PONDER

Nine years in Japan served to increase the love of William Mer- rell Worries for his native land. During his recent visit in Phoenix the well-known missionary told of long years of homesickness and longing for the sunshine state where he passed his boyhood. He was astounded by the growth and many splendid improvements that have been made, but considers Arizona's greatest asset its glorious natural attractions.
 Shortly before leaving Phoenix for Japan, where he will continue his life's work, he composed the following tribute to the state:
 Arizona Oh!N It's Arizona for me and for
 mine The state where the sun never
 ceases to shine. From Phoenix to Flagstaff-from
 palm unto pine! Its air has a zest in it, equaled by
 none; East of it, west of it, under the sun Grand arc its mountains, its for
 ests are vast; Greatest of Canons; miles unsur-
 passed. Stretches of desert? Aye, but
 they bloom, Watered by reservoir, ditches and
 Hume! Free are its people, hearty and
 hale; Strong for their work, in the field,
 on the trail; Unfettered of caste systems rigid
 and pale. Here is my hand to you, brothers,
 1 toast; The health of the land to ye-all
 that we boast; And the wealth of the land to ye-
 richer than most! Blow on me, winds of the snow
 crested peaks; Sun of the desert, put tan on my
 cheeks; Sing, Coconino pines in the breeze, Out of my exile over the seas 1 turn longing eyes to the land of
 my youth. And know what l guessed in the
 past is the truth That it's Arizona for me and for
 mine, The state where the sun never
 ceases to shine. From Phoenix to Flagstaff from
 palm unto pine!
