STORY OF LUCERNE.

eyes of many troubled millions have
been turned in the keen hope that the
bright mountain city may soon at
tain the enviable fame of sending
forth the call to cease hostilities in
the worlds greatest war, IS described
in a statement issued today by the
national geographical society. Prince
Won Buelow's visit to the city strength
ened peace rumors which have been
growing in assurance during weeks
past, and centered peac activities in
LLcerne. The war primer telling of
Lucerne roads:
'Lucerne, the capital # the Can
ton of Lucerne, situated in an am
phitheatre of mountains upon the ex-
qLisite Lake of Lucerne, is one Of
the most beautiful and most pictur-
esque towns in Switzerland, and, in
the land of the pilgrims paradise, it
has been one of the principal tourist
canters. In tone, it is thoroughly cos
rlopolitan; for, during normal times,
representations of all the peoples of
Europe and both Americas are con-
tinually passing through the place, to
and from the famous St. Gotthard
More than 100000 visitors were en-
tertained in Lucerne each year in nor
mai times, and though a place of only
10000, population, it possesses 10 no
te3s, many of them as pretentious as
those to be found in New York and
Paris.
Mountains wall the city, save
where the wall is broken through by
the torrent of the Reuse which
drains Lucerne lake. The Pilatus
range, Rigi, and the ALPS of Uri and
Engelberg frame the crystal waters
at their feet. Lucerne IS primarily
city of peace, because its support
depends upon the goodwill, the pros
perity, and the leisure of nations pro-
ductiye and at peace with one anoth-
er The annual 100000 visitors pay
tie running expenses of the place and
furnish it with plenty of pocket money
for incidental luxuries.
Before the outbreak of the war,
Lucerne was a resort patronized all
the year around, by vocationists,
those in search of winter sport, noun
tain climbers, by the infirm in need
Of braeing air and inspiriting sur
roundings, and by the small army
regularly bound for the passage of st.
Gotthard's pass. The town, itself, is
fl II of picturesque and historic values.
| The older part of the city is medic
val, threaded by narrow, crooked
streets and built up with ancient
houses. Part of the old defenses are
still standing, while the town-hall is
survival from the 10th century In
it, is now housed a museum rich in
antiquities
'Lucerne is conveniently situated
for informal conferences between the
warning nations, for it is neutral land
almost in the heart of battle-torn
Europe, and the only place equally
accessible to all the larger combat
ants. In less than a days time, rep
resentatives can gather here from Lon

More difficulty is in the way of the
representatives sent from Petrograd.
hut, for all practical purposes, Lu-

which Europe's cyclonic storms of war
are raging in widening circles. AS the
hub of trouble and destruction, it is

the suggestions of peace and recon-

Shrapnel are quite different projec-

Modern Intrenehinu.

The idea of digging oneself in is
comparatively modern. dating from the
time when the speed OF rifle bullets be-
came so great as TO make It possible
to kill a soldier a mile or more away.
The soldier has had to take cover
in consequence for no shield has been
discovered which stops a rifle bullet
half so effectively as a few feet OF
soft earth.
Such intrenching is only just over
a hundred years old. in fact. The
great Napoleon for years fought many
OF his campaigns without the use of
the spade. and It was ret till the cam.

It is customary to exalt the
virtues Of the dead, and to mini
mize their faults, while we exalt
the faults Of the living, and min
Jnalze their virtues. God would
have US do justice to both the
dead and the living. We who
are living demand justice if we
are the object Of criticism. Our
demands are not so imperative
If some one else is the object.
Certainly, if the pale lips before
us could speak we could hear a
mild demand for simple justice.
So | endeavor to approach the
task before me, which is by no
means a pleasant one, with a
sense Of justice to both living.
and dead. A man who himself
must stand before the judgment
bar Of God to "give an account
Of the deeds done in the body"
surely cannot afford to- do on
an occasion like this anything
that would embarrass him in the
great day. The funeral talk
cannot be delivered without TAX
ing into account the living as
well as the dead. The dead
can't talk back, the living can,
and probably will, so | will say
as little Of the dead as possible,
and speak directly to and of the
living.
