BRANDON BOY TELLS OF VISIT TO CORFU ISLAND
Emperor Williams Summer Palace Now In Hands OF French
Something of Its Beauty and Grandeur.

palace or temple, or a museum.
Immediately to the right was the
royal chapel with the large fres-
co of Munkacsy's Christ before
Plate" Back of the altar, by
an ingenius electrical contriv-
ance, a flood of light could be
turned on to the central figures
of the fresco. giving them a sort
of luminous and living effect,
almost as in a cinnabar, though
it seemed queer sort of contri-
vance for a chapel. One could
hear murmur of "boche" from
among the visitors, indicating
their view that a vandal hand
had put together this mass OF
fresco and effect.
Elaborated frescoes and mir
rows covered the ceilings and
sides of the state dining rooms.
The subject were always drawn
from the Greek antiquity, but
the figures of dancing nymphs
and fawns looked rather heavy
as though they were the big
limbed people of the north. in
stead of the fine and delicate
creatures of legendary Greece.
The huge painting Of the
Triumph of Achilles" occupied
the post of honor, at the top OF
the grand stairway, it is one Of
those striking pictures full OF
life and movement, like Carl
melcher's War" in the Con-
gressional Library at Washing
ton, and showing the same
straining horses, and men push
ing forward to the combat.
The palace garden is, however,
the really remarkable feature of
this establishment. In original
ity. beauty and extent it is prob
ably one of the finest gardens in
all the world. The unique feat
ure is the strict adherence to the
standards of Legendary Greece,
making one feel as though trans
ported into some fairy-like pre-
cinct of the dim past. At every
hand are marble and bronze
statues of the old deities, heroes
and muses..
AS our party withdrew it was
observed that the military auto
mobile which brought the party
up from dock, bore on it's doors
the imperial crest of Emperor
William. This was but one of
the many accessories of his sum-
mer palace which had passed out
of his hands. While it was only
an automobile, yet it seems to
be typical of the extent to which
imperial disaster had become
personal to the Emperor, not
only lost colonies, and palaces,
like this summer plaything SYM
bolizing Achilles, but even the
automobile with the Hohenzol-
lern arms, now passed beyond
his reach.
| will write again, telling of
many more such places, if given
space in your paper.

Little L. A. was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. j. Mcdonald.
born August 27, 1917, and died
Sept. 20, 1917.
Our hearts were made glad
when they told US that Ethel A.
had a little brother, but the little
bud did not brighten our path
way long, for on Monday morn
ing before he was three weeks
old he was taken very i'll. The
doctor was summoned and found
that he had acute meningitis.
All that a faithful doctor and
tender nursing could do did not
relieve the little fellow. Until
Thursday p. m. at 100 o'clock
he suffered intensely, but God
reached down and called the lit
tie spirit and carried it home
where pain and sorrow never
comes.
He leaves a father, a mother,
two grandfathers, two grand
mothers, a host of uncles. aunts,
relatives and friends.
His stay was short but many
hearts were made lonely, yet we
know that the Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh away" and that
He never makes mistakes.
Weep not, dear friends, for he
has gone to a fairer world than
this where we'll meet to part no
more. &
There we'll meet your prec-
ious darling;
There We'll clasp glad hands
once more,
When we've met to part no
more,
On that happy, peaceful
shore"

TRENCH MORTALITY.

So much has been written and
told of the suffering of the sol
diers in the trenches that there
is associated with the word a
grim sort of horror.
Many have had relatives and
friends called in the draft, and
they will soon join their comrades
in war in the trenches of France.
To such people it should be
encouraging to learn that the
dangers of sickness and disease
have been greatly overestlmated.
An eminent Boston statistlclan
according to the Scientific Amer
lean has made a close personal
investigation of conditions from
several important points OF van
tage in Europe and has publish
ed statement of facts that will
do much to relieve those who
have feared the consequence OF
service in the trenches.
While his figures are not so
favorable as those given out from
Paris, indicating that all kinds
of permanent losses. killed, cap
tured, missing and disabled, ag-
gregate but three per cent per
annum of the effective forces
engaged, they are, nevertheless,
distinctly encouraging.
He finds that about 60 men
per 1000 are being killed and $50
wounded, and that very large
portion of the latter return to
the trenches. This naturally is
not to be compared with the nor
NAL death rate in time of peace
of men of military age,
which is but eight per cent per
1000, but it is UNNECESSARILY bet
ter than our amateur and profess
sional pessimists would have US
believe, and a vast improvement
upon the showing Of any
previous war.
For one thing, disease has been
so thoroughly eliminated that a
SIGH man has become a curiosity.
The soldier at the front is GER
tainly less liable to attack by
disease than if he were at home.
Everything he eats and drinks
and wears, almost everything he
touches, is subject to the finest
medical supervision of which
science is capable, and if any
particularly persistent bacillus
were to get into his system, in
spite of all precautions, it would
find him in such superb physical
condition that its work would be
futile.
The high commands have
thoroughly learned the lesson
that it does not pay to train a
man to be soldier and then lose
him from cause that is in the
least degree preventable.
The drafted man who goes as
an ordinary soldier, taking his
judgment with him and leaving
his excessive enthusiasm behind,
has every chance of coming back
in far better physical condition
than when he left.
It is a hard life, this life III
the trenches, it IS true, but it is
not the life SO dangerous to
mortality that it has been pic
tured.
