Powder House ExpIOdes.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 16.-An
explosion in the nitro-starch dry house
of the Dupon powder house at Gibbs
Slough, N. J., today, resulted in the
death of two men, while another is
missing and believed to be dead. One
other workman was seriously hurt
The powder house where the explos-

FRENCH CAAUSSEURs
HONOR THOSE WHO DIE
BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY Is ENACT
ED OVER GRAVE OF FALLEN
COMRADES WHO PERISH ON
BATTLEFIELD.

FRENCH FRONT. Oct. 16-Atten-
ton! The division will salute the
memory of those of its comrades who
have fallen while fighting for their
country.
The voice of General Michel one of
the young French commanders who
by sheer merit has made his way to
the front rank during the war, rang
out clearly over a stubble field not
far from the fighting lines. The
troops of his division, drawn UP in
deep formation facing towards the
point whence the sound of the German
guns could be heard plainly, present
ed arms and the drums tapped out
general salute, while the colors of the
various regiments were lowered out Of
respect for those who had died. The
long rows of bayonets remained per-
fectly still for several minutes while
the roll of the drums continued and
even after this had ceased and abso-
lutte silence reigned, the men stood
motion1ess for further period, their
thoughts with their former comrades.
This ceremonial honoring of those
who have made the great sacrifice is
always carried out after a division
has left the front line trenches, for
during the fighting it is often impos-
,sible to perform any religious service
over those who fall and are buried
where they die. Respect for the dead
is deeply ingrained in the French
characted and the soldiers appreciate
greatly such an opportunity to honor
those who have died warriors death.
The division concerned today has
seen much fighting along the FROM.
lit has served in Alsace, at Verdun,
lon the Somme and on the Aisne,
where attacks from one side or the
other have been of daily occurrences
for nearly four months. On of its
units was a battalion of the famous
chasseurs who are to be found where
ever fighting is heavy, and before the
memorial service another ceremony
had taken place, for it was this bat
,taIlion's turn to be entrusted with the
charge of the regimental flag of the
chasseurs for period of three months.
Each battalion in rotation is accord
ed this honor and every man in the
battalion guarding the color seems to
feel a personal pride in the emblem
beneath which he marched. The flag
bears at the head of its staff the three
highest military decorations-th
Legion of Honor, the military medal
and the war cross-bestowed as a re-
ward for the constant and CONSPICUOUS
bravery of the soldiers who have
fought under it.
These chosen troops, the chassears,
had made military history long before
this war. The first Napoleon had 4
battalion of chasseurs in the Guards
Corps of the Grand Army. After
wards they disappeared from the army
list for time, but were reconstruct
ed by the Duke Of Orleans under
Louis PHILIPPE.
SoIferfno, during the Italian war OF
liberation, and Sebastopol, in the
Crimean war, added to the fame Of
the chasseurs, and during the war Of
1870 against the Prussians they dis
tinguished themselves on marry oc-
casions.

PRACTICAL DIPLOMACY.

German publicists and newspapers
have always laid stress upon the sue
cess of what they call the ''practl-
cal diplomacy of their country. AS
a contemporary says, ii was this
stvle of diplomacy that brought Tur-
kew and Bulgaria into the war on
the side of the Central Powers.
Practical Teutonic methods led King
Constantine Of Greece to ignore the
constitution of his country and to
seek to establish an autocratlc re-
CINE, unchecked by national par
lament. Diplomacy of this fashion
has lately been revealed i'll Ger
many's dealings with Sweden and
Argentina.
Secretary Lansing's revelations
have disclosed the secret of much OF
this direct-acton style of handling
foreign affairs. Cash seems to be the
basis of it, backing up an utter lack
of those Scruples which are supposed
to restrain honest men in their daily
life. Where Germany's interests were
concerned her diplomatic representa-
tives seem to have acted on the
principle that the State is above all
moral considerations, and that sue
cess justities any means used. In its
propaganda in this country Ger
many is said to have expended $25.-
100000, largely in this fashion of
buying up those vino wanted to he
purchased. In view OF ME magnitude
of the sum the result seem lnSignl-
fcant.
This will be the honest judgment
of all Americans. straight or hy-
phenated. The Staats-Ieitung, OF
New York, the leading German news
paper of the United States, put the
matter correctly when it says, speak
ing Of Secretary Lansing's revcia-
tons:
"The disclosures. though only part
could be proved beyond doubt, also
call forth the question: And of what
use was all the so-called "propagan-
da?" Has it not mostly caused
harm? Is it not perchance fact
that the German diplomats piayec
Fundamentally bad card in select
ing for their agents men least quail
fled for their task, men whose IN
flucnee was nil and whose pockets
were empty"
Perhaps there is such thing as
being too practical. Even in diplo-
macy a little straightforward honesty
is not a bad thing. So at least Anne
ricans have learned. After the war
Germany will be given an opportum-
tv to make radical changes in her
diplomatic methods.
