D'AM.ADE

Gen. Jomre's ruthless policy of re- moving officers who have committed serious blunderS-a policy in which he spares neither friend nor foe-has a remarkable illustration in the case of Gen Albert d'Amade, who was recently dismissed from the command of the French land forces operating along the Dardanel1es strait. Twice before d'Amade was relieved of com mands, but has gained others through the influence of his close friend, President Poincare. D'Amade is the scion of an old and aristocratic family, and is one Iof the wealth. est officers in the French army. but neither his lineage nor his money, nor his intimacy with the president of the republic, saved him from Joffre's inexorabIe rule that the blunderers must go. Before the outbreak of the war Gen. d'Amade was in charge of the military camp at Cha1ons. He had previously served as military att ta,che of the French embassies in va an observer attached to the British headquarters in the field during the South African war. Gen. d'Amade first fell under the disp1easure of the French Generalissimo when, during the retreat from Mons he failed to carry out Joffre's orders to support the hard pressed British army. After a brief retirement, Gen. d'Amade, through the influence of President Poincare, was given a command in Alsace. Again he failed to live up to his opportunities, all again the ruthless axe of Joffre fell and d d'Amade was relieved of his com mand. Poincare then interceded in his friends behalf and had the war ministry send d'Amade to Turkey, to lead the French army on the Oar danelIes. Gen. d'Ama.de was forced to retire from the position he had chosen on the Asiatic side. of the strait, to cooperate with the fleet and the British army on the Euro pean side, and for a third time the long arm of Joffre reached out and sent d'Amade into retirement

 Since the outbreak of the war Prof.
 Munsterberg has delivered himself of

In his most recent book, '"The Peace and America the Harvard professor as- | serts that Germany has no desire to l dominate the world" and that, if

First Christian King


 The first Christian king of England was Ethelbert, who was baptised l. SIS years ago today, June 2, 597. Ethelbert was converted to the new faith by St. Augustine, the Apostle of England, who was appointed by St. Gregory the Great as chief of mis- sionaries whom he dispatched to England. Augustine and his com panions had heard much of the bar bar1sm and ferocity of the pagan Eng
 fish, and it was in fear and trembling that they set foot on English soil at Ebbsfleet, between Sandwich and Ramsgate- They were agreeably dis appointed, for they were given a cor dial reception by the monarch and his subjects. Ethelbert, the Saxon
 king of Kent, and his thames met St.
 Augustine under 8 great oak at Min ster and the missionary explained to the monarch the principles of the religion of Jesus. The king was soon convinced and was baptised. Many of his people soon followed his ex-

Bendigo, Pugilist- Evangelist, Set Precedent
 For Billy Sunday

Billy Sunday is not the first man who won early fame as Q, profes- siona1 athlete to turn to the pulpit and achieve fame and shekels by saw ing souls. Perhaps the most ce1e- brated of Billyas forerunners was William Thompson, better known in sporting circles as Bendigo,- who was by turn pugiIistic champion of Eng land, keeper of a ''pub," a notorous drunkard, and finally an evangelist and preacher of the Gospel. His lan- guage as a. t'sky pilot was quite as original and quaint that now af- fected by the "baseban angelist' '' and his meetings in London and else where in England attracted vast crowds.
 Bendigo's memory as pugilist and parson is perpetuated by a monument erected in Nottingham, England, twenty four years ago today, June 1. 1891. It is a. s1umb bering lion, full life size, cut in stone, and bears this in scription: t'Ip life always brave, fight ing like a lion; in death a lamb, tranquil in zion.''
 Bendtgo died in Nottingham in 1880. He was forty years old when he last defended his title, defeating Tom Paddock, a. much younger man. That battle, fought in 1850, was his last in the ring, and thenceforth for many years he devoted his entire at tention to fighting the booze" He was an amiable fellow, when sober, but a maniac when drunk, and he was always in trouble. He spent much of his tirne\in jail, and it was there that he was converted by a prison chaplain. One of his favorite tricks was to enter a pulp and ap- propriate anybody's drink that might be on the bar. He had a special prejudice against butchers, and often entered meat shops and drove every body out by pelting them with joints of meat.
 It was about ten years before his death that Bendigo began his evange- listic career. He was encouraged and instructed in his new calling by Richard Weaver, a famous evangelist of the period. Wearing a, black frock coat, black kid gloves, black tie, and tall hat, the converted bruiser held forth from the pulpit, condemnfng sin in general and strong drink in par ticular in the most picturesque words On several occasions 'Bendigo back s1fded and got unroariously ''tanked up,'' but he always came back like a lamb to the fold, made public pro- fessions of repentance, and continued his sou1-saving work. He joined the Good Templars and was prominent in temperance work. bringing many con verts into the fold.
