Creation of a KNIGHT.

The ceremonies at the creation Of Il
knight have been various. The priuci-
pal were Il box on the ear and d stroke
with a sword on the shoulder. John OF
Salisbury tells us the blow with the
naked fist was in use among the am
cient NOrmans. By this it was that
William the COnqueror conferred the
honor of knighthood on his son Henry
1t was afterward changed into a blow
with the fiat Of the sword on the Shout
der of the knight.

Starting the bullets to La.

Many breeds of fowls begin to lay
when four and q half or five months
old. Parched corn will hurry them,
as will fresh cut bone and meat from
the butchers. They need animal diet
to do well. and the whole process Of
feeding is an interesting study. Sep
arate your early pullets from tha
cockerels, feed them extra well, and
you viii have fresh eggs before you
know it.

 We are at war against the cOnvic- ton, in German minds. that might is right, that the end justifies any means no matter how brutal
 We are a clean and a humane peo- pie. We would not believe these things at first. A million and a half Belgians fled 10 England with the story. We were still incredulous. Noncombatants were sunk at sea. We still felt there must be some justifi- cation. New and ever new cruelties of death came from the German trenches, and We have said: This is modern war"
 But the score is mounting higher day by day. The politics of this war are lost in it's inhumanities, fathere1 by German skill IL was not enough that men should die. They must die horribly

 ' It is well for us to pause for mo- ment to look back on these things. We are skeptical at first. but time has shown their truth, for they are of a piece with the things that have happened since. They belong with the Lusitania and the little fishing boats. With the attocks on London. With liquid fire.
 We are a people of homes. Politics means little to us; the quarrels of Europe nothing. But hre is an enemy which has marched over the homes of a nation and wantonly destroyed them. Here is an enemy that took the women and children out of these homes and with that pitiful advance guard, drove ahead Again and again innocent civilians of both sexes were sacrificed to protect the invad- ing army"
 It is for the home we are fighting today. Democracy will live because the principle of a free people will never die. liberty will survive. so long as the soul is greater than the body But the world will go on and progress only when we have placed on the lintel of each door in every land the sign. in blood if it must he, that the covenant of the weak and the unprotected must be kept.

 "All of our coats were taken away, so we walked about to keep warm At one place one of my officers was in- suited by a German officer, who spat in his face.
 At the railway we were lined up and entrained, 52 of us being shut in one small horse car built to hold only six horses, with no windows and per fectly dark The bottom was several inches deep in manure. As the car was a very small one there was ns room either to sit or to lie.

 In Crefeld, 35 miles from the Dutch frontier, were 800 officers. Conditions were very had there and in the fol- lowing February Colonel Vandeleur made his escape, swimming canals and undergoing terrible hardships. On his arrival in England the king sent for him and the immediate result was that the king, through our ambassa- dor to Germany, sent a large sum to be expended for British prisoners of war.
 We are at war today not because the crown prince of Austria was killed in Serbia but because the German army protected its advance with non combatants-men, women and clrl dren.
 We are at war today not because German submarines sunk battleships but because they have sunk and are sinking peaceful vessels, little fishing boats, when the fisherman were la boring to get a scant livelihood, and great unarmed passenger ships car rying noncombatants - men, women. and children.

And she told me in detail revolting stories of the proclamation of churches under the pretext totally unfounded. that the Belgian churches were store houses for arms. She told me. too Of the especial cruelty they had shown to priests and nuns; of the priests in churches and. after insulting the altar. of killing them.
 I have before me the statement Of a British officer who was made pris- oner during the first winter of the war He escaped through Holland, and on the third day of his return he called to see me at Claridge's hotel, in London. The story of Major fnow ColoneD Vandeleur, which I here re- produce in his own words, as 1 re- ceived it at the time, needs no com ment.
 Although pressure from high places was brought to bear on the British war office. Lord Kitchener refused ne permission to publish it, for fear that it's use in this then neutral country would prejudice the lot of other un- happy prisoners in Germany's hands
 But it belongs properly in this case of Humanity V. Germany. and l give it here in Colonel Vandeleur's own words. He recovered from his early wound returned to the front after his escape. and was again wounded. this time very seriously, at the battle of Neuve Chapelle. A brave man. this British officer, and a very honorable gentleman:
 q was stationed near La Basse on October 13, 1914, with the Fifteenth infantry brigade. The trenches at that point were more than mile apart. It was raining.
 At 1:3O in the morning I was sent forward with 75 men and 6 officers to a village between the lines. The Ger mans were there in greater force than we had expected and they attacked with three or four machine guns. We retired into a farm house and the Germans attacked us there, setting fire to the house with hand grenades, fire confetti and petrol squirts.
 "The matched roof began to burn and one whole half was burned before we got it out. We got into the other end of the building and there we had hand-to-hand fighting. shooting at quarters. Our own artillery was firing over cur heads at the Germans, but no endorsements came up. l have learned since that they thought we were all gone.
 By midafternoon I had a bullet wound in my leg; , of the other of ficers were wounded, and there were only men out of the S1 left who could fight As fast as the men were wounded we carried them to the eel lar.
 At 5 p. m. it grew dark and the Germans commenced to charge the building, putting dynamite under the house and blowing up one end of it Most ot the time I was in the loft firing down. My revolver was use less, but I had a bayonet and rifle.
 We had no water and the wounded men were thirsty. We had to stand on bodies to shoot.
 At last, at S:3O that night, there were only six of us left. The wounded in the cellar were being burned. The Germans had heaped stacks of straw
