COSTLY CHIMES FOR CADETS
Big Set Of Bells Is Being Made for
Chapel at United States Military
Academy at West Point.

What Is said to be the most costly
chime of bells in America and one Of
the most musical sets in existence Is
now being made at the foundry of the
Meneely Bell company of Troy, N. Y,
for the massive tower Of Cadet chapel,
Rev. H. Z. Silver, chaplain, at the
United States military academy, West

LawtOn, in memory of her father, the
late Mai. Gen. Robert Anderson, who
was graduated from the academy In
1925, and whose brilliant command Of
Fort Sumner at the outbreak of the
Civil war has thrilled millions of read
ers of American history, says the

There will he II bells In the chime,
the largest weighing nearly two tons
and measuring SO inches It its mouth.
The cadet chapel Is of stone, Quarried
from rock found on the military
grounds and cost to build about half
n million dollars. It's commanding pO-
sltlon on the hill back from the Hud-
son river makes an ideal place for
bells, and the patriotic airs from the
chime will sound throughout the beau
tiful highlands, i'm the midst of which
the military academy is situated, and
prove a source of inspiration to the fu-
ture generals of the United States
army that will always linger with them
pleasantly.

DELuoEp DRAFT REsIsTERs

Deplorable as the outbreak against
the draft law in certain parts Of the
state is, it is not as much so as the
ignorance which makes it possible for
men to be deluded by the pleas of mis-.
guided or vicious agitators. To any
man of ordinary information and intel
lgence the folly Of resistance to fed
eral authority under the conditions in
question is so obvious that it looks
like nothing less than an act Of m-
macy.
There isn't the slightest doubt that
all resistance to the draft will be
sternly stamped out. Men who fall
victims to the agitators are only ac-
cumulating the most serious kind Of
trouble for themsel-7s. Under the
laws in force men who are drafted i'm
mediately become subject to army reg
ulations and the provost marshal gen
eral has served notice that those who
fail to report for duty will be dealt
with as deserters. AS for the agita-
tors themselves. it is certain that they
will have to face charges of treason,
with capital punishment looming up be-
fore them
At a time when the nation is bend

dealing with those who would defy
the law. America is not Russia andl

ment. With the exception Of a very
inconsideraBie element, the people Of
america understand exactly why we
are at war and are Loyalty supporting
the government and public sentiment
is such that there isn't a shadow of
show for the slackers to get away with
their achemes.

boarded the train and began to praise
their city to the Yermonter, telling him
of it's wide streets and beautiful ave-

tired and said the only thing that
would improve their city would be to
make it seaport.
The enthusiastic westerners laughed
at him and asked how they could
make it seaport. being so far from
the ocean.
The yermonter replied that It would
be a very easy task.
"The only thing that you will have
to do" said he, sis to lay a twoinch
pipe from your city to the Gulf of
Mexico. Then if you fellows can suck
as hard as you can blow you will have
it a seaport inside half an hour"

There's no place like an island
for a militarist with nerves.
st. Helena is really the lid Of
a volcano, but you have sat on
the lid of a volcano for thirty
years, so you wouldn't mind
that. The climate is temperate
and salubrious. The Hotel
Longwood, where Napoleon
stayed, is still standing. Queen
Victoria presented it to the peo-
pie of France some years ago,
but doubtless it could be rented
from the French nation. You
need a good rest after your hard
fight for the freedom of the
seas, and Pm sure there is no
place where you could rest bet
ter than at st. Helena. The is
land was settled originally by
pirates and about $500 of their
descendants remain to this day,
so you would have just enough
congenial society without being
overrun with it. Now l must
close and take a run down to
the bulletin boards to see if your
brave little U-boats have made
the seas any freer than they
were yesterday. L. H. R.
