The original place and significance
of the "Swastika" sign are alike un-
known. various theories having been
put forward in answer to both ques-
lions. It is certain, however, that the
symbol has been known for centuries.
and in prehistoric times, in various
parts Of the world. as an emblem OF
benediction or, good luck. The word
is from the Sanskrit and means "weal-!
making" The four-branched mono
grammatic sign has been found in.
Europe, Asia and America. It was
known first in the bronze age, and It
occurs In che Swiss lake dwellings. In
the historic period it is found In
Japan, Korea, China, Tibet, Armenia.
Asia Minor. Greece, and its islands
especially Cyprus and Rhodes; Italy,
France, Germany, Scandinavia, Great
Britain-perhaps, only under Scandi-
navian influence-Ohio Tennessee,
Mississippi, Alaska, Mexico and
Brazil. 1t was not known in early
India, and is not known to be native
to Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria, Phoe-S
nicia, or, till a late date, Persia. It
was particularly adopted by Budd-
hism, and It's presence in Japan,
China and Tibet is thus explained.
It's origin as a symbol has been the
object of endless speculation; some
scholars say 1t is solar symbols;
others an earth symbol, wind symbol,
etc.; others that 1t is merely decora-
tive in its origin. The cross, the
lotus petal, the circle, ETC., have been
suggested as derivations for its form.
It Is probably chiefly talismanic. ss

TO FIGHT WITH GAS
LORD KITCHENER SAYS THE
BRITISH WILL ADOPT THE
GERMAN METHOD. -"
DEMANDS 100000 MORE MEN
Must Employ Tactics Of the Enemy
In Order to Adequately Protect
Troops Of the Allies Fighting the
Teutons. H''5 ~

London, May 20.-Lord Kitchener,
secretary for war, speaking on Tues
day in the house Of lords, indicated
the intention of the allies to use pol
sonous gases against the Germans.
At the same time he made demand
for 100000 more men. -iM- ::s4
"The British and French govern
ments," he said, l"feel that the troops
must be adequately protected from
the employment Of poisonous gases.
Only by the adoption of similar meth
DDS can we remove the enormous and
unjustifiable disadvantage which must
exist If no steps are taken" Es.
ri Reviewing the fighting which had
taken place in Flanders since his last
speech, he said: a,..5r .s.& st
1.-THE improvement in the weather
enabled our troops, which had been
strongly REINFORCED, to take the Of
fensive. The action at Neuve Cha
pelle was fought with great gallantry
and enabled us to occupy what, from
a military point of view, was very
valuable position. ,g.. S.N1Sl5t,55ii
Toward the end Of last month the
Germans carried out a violent at
tack on portion of the allied front
held by the French northeast OF
Ypres. In order to succeed. the en-
envy employed vast quantities OF poi
sonous gases in defiance of the rec
ognized rules of warfare and in VIC
lation Of their pledged word. The
allies were utterly unprepared for
this diabolical method Of attack,
which undoubtedly had been long and
carefully prepared BY the enemy. & =
"The forced retirement in front Of
the heavy clouds of gases which pre-
coded the German advance at Ypres
resulted in the left flank OF the
Canadian division being exposed.
"The Canadians suffered severely
from the poisonous fumes, but never
theless they, held to the position IN
the most determined manner. This
was an ordeal to try the qualities Of
the finest army in the world and all
the more credit II due the soldiers OF
Canada, who were 5unprepared for
such an attack, and were, at the
same time. exposed to a whitening
fire. 3#sS, +. ~. q "a $ ~, =. Is.
Reluctantly, and with perfect
steadiness, they withdrew their left
flank to conform with the new align
ment. The Canadians were soon sup
ported by British brigades which
were pushed up, and the enemy's ad-
vance was thereby checked. 81
"As a result of this retirement,
Sir John French decided to draw back
his line from the salient Of Ypres.
This withdrawal was carried out with
mastery success on May 8. Though
an operation Of this sort is a diff.
cult military achievement and is
usually fraught with heavy losses.
no serious casualties attached to! it."
Summing up, he said: e. ~ 4
I'm recent operations our losses
have been heavy, but the task was
one which necessitated great sacri-
fees. The spirit and morale OF the
troops were never higher. i%fE

WILSON REVIEWS FLEET
PRESIDENT ALSO SPEAKS At

Has Praise for Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels and the Navy-Re-

New York, May 19.-President Will
son on Monday delivered a patriotic
address on the American flag and the
protection 1t carries for Americans at
a luncheon given in his honor by the
New York citizens committee for the
reception Of the Atlantic feet.
When the president arose to speak
soon after reviewing the parade OF
sailors and marines from the feet he
was cheered enthusiastically.
The president declared that the
luncheon was not the occasion at
which it was wise for him to make
an extended address. He said he al
ways had had deep interest in the
navy.
at is right" he asserted, "that
America should have great navy to
express its character" r."
The navy, he added. brought the
United States into touch with the rest
of the world. Secretary Daniels was
praised warmly. Under him, the ipresi-
dent said, the navy had become more
and more efficient. The secretary,
he declared, had his entire support.
'"The navy of the United States"
the president continued, Expresses
our ideals. The fleet lying here at
New York is a great fleet and has
nothing of buster about it. The great
thing about America is that it wants
no territory and questions no other
nations honor. We stand for human
ity and for the things that humanity
wants." W. &1 Z, grE%r. ~7
Speaking of the flag, the president
asserted that it typified all that was
best in the world. e, 49,
"The mission Of America" he went
on, "is what her soldiers and sailors
should think OF. They have nothing
to do with shaping of policies. Some
times the persons who run the United
States forget the principles upon
which 1t was founded, but the people
themselves never forget. ssa as.,- j.
