Paris. Aug. SS-Noibody has given

French writer, wl4oH Hhas himself writ

was the cult, the venleration that
these soldiers who have come from
the other end Of thesworld to pay the
debt contracted in the time. of Roch-
anIbeau and Lafayette, show for
everything connected with Joan of
Arc. Nothing is more touching than
to see their pilgrimages-T use the
religious term designed1y-to Dom

was born.
The humble house at Domremy
would seem an ideal fplace for the
museum as it preserved its PRINT

BREAK IN the
RAILS MARK OF
ARCTIC CIRCLE
American Red Cross Mis-
sion Celebrates Crossing
With a Festival

London, June 30.-(By the Associ-
ated Press correspondent recently in
Rumania.)-On the trains running
northward across North Russia, the
crossing Of the Arctic circle Is made
the occasion for festival similar
to that which tourists used to en-
joy on shipboard when crossing the
equator. The train makes a stop of
several hours in the midst Of a
snow covered waste on the shores of
the White sea. The passengers
stretch their legs and take a con-
stttutional out over the frozen sur
face of the White sea while picnic
dinner is being prepared.
The exact spot where the railroad
crosses the circle is probably not de-
termined with scientific accuracy,
but the men who built the railroad
apparently agreed on an approximate te
location, and this is marked with a
suitable inscription. AT this point
also the railroad builders have left a
slight gap, probably not more than
a quarter of an inch. between the
rails, so that. as passengers often
notice, when the train passes over
the circle, there is a distinct jolt and
jar"
The American Red Cross mission
to Runania began to prepare for the
festival OF the Arctic circle crossing
several days in advance. The event
was celebrated with dinner of Lap
land turkey and wild cranberries
with an entree Of roast reindeer. The
turkeys were secured a few days
previously by Col. Henry w. Ander-
son, the commanding officer Of the
American unit, who stopped the train
for an afternoon in order to launch
game-hunting expedition along
the southern shores Of the frozen
White Sea.
The evening was marked by a
particularly brilliant display OF the
aurora, borealis or northern lights,
which most Of the members Of the
party witnessed for the first time
The aurora appeared at dusk and IL
Illuminated the sky in fantastic
streaks and circles across the whole
northern horizon.
1t was on this day also that a
southwark bound train passed, bear
ing among its passengers Major
Wardwell, Of the American Red
Cross mission to Russia, who pre-
sented to the members Of the mission
to Rumania a bundle of American
newspapers only seven weeks old.
The eagerness with which these
papers were passed from hand to
hand and read line by line even to
the obituary columns and want
ads" showed how highly this gift
was appreciated.

eide the winner. All the National

only one to be settled.

cial meeting here today of the

Baseball commission, a decision will

GLASS STAINED BY x-RAYs
Experiments Have Shown These Pro- duce the Same Effect as the
 Light of the Sun.

It Is we'll known that glass exposed for long to sunlight acqufreSA violet tint. In very old houses the windows facing south are often distinctly vio- let. Experiments recently made in the laboratories of the General Electric company at Schenectady with X-rays prove that these can be used to dye glass in many colors, principally an amethystine violet and an amber yell low, but also green and bright yellow.
 These colors, according to MT. Ro- seminal, who conducted the experi- ments, are due to notifications of the physical structure of the glass and not to chemical alterations. The color can be made to penetrate to any desired depth. from q mere surface tint to complete coloration of the entire sub stance. And the same method can be applied to tfnting porcelain, enamel and precious stones.
 An interesting and important fact about this glass that has been colored by long exposure to X-rays Is that 1t becomes impervious to the radiations that have transformed it. Thus it can be used as a protection against the glare of the sun or the snow and against the X-rays themselves

ALL HAVE THEIR UNDER-DoGs
Good Reasons Why Peoples sympa- thies Are With the Fellow Who
 Is Temporarily Eown.

Our sympathies naturally travel the line of likes-that is, the things we feel in ourselves, we feel in others. We ap- plaud the under-dog, because we so often have been the under-dog. We like to lift the other fellow up when he Is down, because we also have been down. Sympathy starts at home-Or else tt isn't sympathy.
 Your periodic moods of failure and disappointment are your under-dogs.
 So, instead of walking past these under-dogs of yours and casting no sympathy their way, pause to give them your heart and your hope, and soon the picture and fact will be your over-dogs+your victories and your genuine achievements. .
 No under-dogs can possibly appeal in importance to the under-dogs of your daily experience.
 Perhaps you will applaud alone the under-dogs of your personal glooms and shadows, but what of it2 As Low ell says: "Daily, with souls that cringe and plot, we Sinais climb and know it not" What difference, what odds, so long as over your "manhood bend the skies?" .se1.

 The old autocratfc government of Russia was always particularly friend ly to the United States. During the Revolutionary war Russia offered to mediate for peace and her offer was accepted by the United States but de clined by Great Britain.

Sew eral of our early presidents in their messages referred to s.the continued friendship of Russia" In 1893, Rus sia proposed friendly adjustment through diplomatic channels of the boundary line between American and Russian possessions in the Northwest and President Monroe authorized the United States minister to Russia to at- tend to the matter.

ssWhere Are You, Hartford
 PatriOts?"
Editor TIE LABOR STANDARD:

Editor TIE LABOR STANDARD:
 The speech before the Manufactur- CTS Association by Henry M. Leland of Detroit, which appeared in the Hartford Courant showed that while he might have been introduced as "one of Americas greatest. and ablest patriots" if his speech is any criterion of his patriotism, he has about as much patriotism as the Ger man kaiser.
 It is very evident that the govern ment has turned down some pet scheme of his and on account of that the government is all wrong. It is about time that such patriots (?) that are continually waving the American flag in one hand, and profteering with the other, were given stronger dose than is handed German propagandists, as they are one hundred times more dangerous
 This would certainly be a fine country to live in if it was run to suit few men like MT. Leland, who, because they are at the head of some corporation, seem to think no one else has right on earth. When such men put themselves, in their own opinion, above the government, it is time that they were interned, not only for the period of the war but for all time to come. -1sssissss>.y. ..
 Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board states that the Pacific coast yards are turning out ships faster than any other yards, and because man is obliged to have a union card before you can go to work there, evi- dently does not agree with Mir. Ee- lands health. If he was really a patriot he would want all lsyards work ing under the same conditions, if it IS ships that he is looking for.
 His assault on Labor was ridiculous. There are thousands of members of organized labor in the trenches at the present time, and the personnel of most of the engineer units in France were recruited from the ranks of organized labor, and it is men Of the caliber of Leland that are to blame for the majority of strikes ins this country and they are the class of men that think that they can continue in the narrow path that they have heen treading, by still refusing to deal with labor, in the face of the recent agree- ment reached, by the representative of capital and labor recently at Washington. Because the govern ment has been fair in the matter, Mr. Leland sees fit to assail the Presi- dent of the United States. We trust that by this time the United States Secret Service has an eye upon him.
