BRITISH ARMY CNCE IN BERLIN
Several Regiments of Adventurous No.
bies Went There to Help Old
Frederick v.

1t was somewhere about the middle
of July, 1929, that a British army ar
rived in Berlin. The account of its do
ings may not be found in any history
books, for the secret papers are safely
stored in the state archives of the
PruSsan capital. At that time Berlin
was small riverside town, but under
the able rule of the Great Elector" ii
quickly became place of considerable
importance. The object of the British
invasion, however, was not one of con-
quest. 1t was the result of promise
which James l had made TO his s0n-in-
law, Frederick V. The Elector Pala-
tine Frederick had placed himself at
the head of the Protestant Union of
Germany. He accepted the crown of
Bohemia in 1919, and Ii was In order
to help the newly elected king against
the followers of the Lusatians that the
British troops were sent to Berlin. The
force, which was composed of many
penniless but adventure loving mobiles
recruited from all parts of England
and Scotland, was commanded by Sir
Andrew Grey. A letter written by
James / which is to be seen preserved
in the state paper office, states that
1.-THE force was some 5000 strong, and
constituted one of the finest armies
ever seen on the battlefield" 1t goes
on to say that the men were clad in
red and white Hanoverian uniforms,
and were well armed and efficient sol
diers. The contingent landed on the
Prussian coast early in the spring of
1920, and after perilous march
through the neighboring swamps ar
rived at Tempelhof, on the outskirts of
Berlin. There it was that the trouble
arose. The Berliners hastily barri-
caded the streets and prepared to de-
fend the city against the British. But
the British had no sinister designs on
the city, and after resting lifted their
camp and marched info Bohemia,
where they Joined the camp of Fred
erick " One, and only one action
was fought--which ended SO dlsas-
trously that Frederick Y. the winter
King" was forced TO abdicate, and the
campaign of the British, which had
been the cause of so much distrust in
Prussia. came to an end.-Dundee Adj

Cheapest Dish in the World.

Corn is great food-a plain and
simple food. But corn-at least the
solid variety-is not taken straight.
Moreover the addition of water does
not mend matters. The flavor of corn
alone is too faint and elusive for our
buttered and peppered taste-buds to
detect its rare aroma.
One ounce of shredded Goldfish is
sufficient to impart q distinct flavor to
a quart of cornmeal mush. The addi-
ton of an ounce 1.-TWO tablespoonfuls)
of oil will increase the palatability
and add greatly to the nutritive value
of the recipe. This dish may be

WHITSUN-DAY
 BE CELEBRATED
 BY EPISCOPALlANS

Next Sunday is Whitsun Day. com- memorating the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Church at Pentecost- the birthday of the Church-ranking with Christmas and Easter.
 The word Whitsun is said to come from the Angio-Saxon word for Eff tieth." corresponding to the Teutonic ''pfingsten." and refers to the fiftieth day or pentecost day after Easter, when the descent of the Spirit took place. This was on the Jewish fes- tival of Pentecost. the festival which was kept by the Jews in memory of the birth of the Jewish church at Sinai, fifty days after their exodus from Egypt It was also connected with the early harvest or ingathering of the first fruits.
 In the Christian Church from early days, the festival was a favorite time for baptism. when the candidates were usually arrayed in white, so that it also came to be known as White Sunday"-hence the idea that the day is Whit Sunday" instead of "Whitsun-Day" The season is known as Whitsun-tide. not Whit-tide.
