with a laugh, as if the phrase were
empty rhetoric instead of sublime
truth. Liege means more to us than
Lexington, and remembering Edith
Cavell, we give no thought to Jane
McCrea.
We may well thank God that the
war of American independence has not
the glamor of battles fought in vain,
that our freedom is no lost cause, that
Washington's halo is not that of a
martyr whose life and death were un-
awaiting. To those who look at the
worlds events In true historical per-
spective, without s~entimentality and
with love of justice and freedom In
their breasts, the American Revolution
fills the most encouraging page in the
chronicle of the centuries. But for
most of US 1t is only in times of stress
like the present that we can come to
an actual sense of our exceptional
privileges to q realization of the radi-
ant truth of the stories we read in our
history book in school. This year the
Declaration of Independence takes on
a clearer significance; we know, as we
did not in bygone years, what 1t means
to be free and independent states, alb
solved forever from all allegiance to
foreign powers. And so this year
Washington's birthday is no routine
holiday, but a day of solemn yet joyful
commemoration, a day on which we
honor with full hearts him who made
us a nation, the warrior whose sword
cut the bonds of our thralldom, the
statesman who bade us, avoiding en-
tangling alliances, go our free way, an
independent republic, no nations syco-
plant, no nations tool. "With malice
toward none," said Washington's great
est successor, with charity for all"
It was a summing up of Washington's
W political creed. No lost cause,
however glorious with the blood of
martyrs, seems today so noble as the
still triumphant cause of American in
dependence. No modern hero, fighting
overseas, is today so dear to us as our
founder and preserver. And to his K
amples and his counsels we cannot
look for guidance and look in vain.

is stitched to them.
The frock is plated across the front
in the skirt portion and where it joins
the bodice, small disks Of the gray
cloth answer to the roll call of the
plaits. There is a belt of the blue
material, which is fastened to the front
of the bodice at each side with a large
fiat bone button.
A band of blue, piped with gray is
wrapped about the sleeve at the wrist.
1t is wide at n end and narrow at
the other, the narrow end rounded and
overlapping the other, is fastened
down with a button. This is a very
simple finish for the sleeves, but no
one seems to have thought Of it be-
fore.
Considering that the designer made
such a success of this use of gray with
blue he was justified in adding a soft
a p collar of gray crepe georgette, al
though the frock would still Bet sue
cess without it.

towns have been fully recorded but
the growing frequency OF attacks
on German aerodromeS have re-
ceived much less attention. From
information obtained from the
War Ministry it is learned that
in the month oi August alone there
were thirty-threc attacks on Ger
man acrodromeS, nineteen OF which
were directed against two of them
which had become particularly
obnoxious as hives OF aerial wasps.
In one daylight raid on an aero
dromc fierce combat lasted over
forty minutes as result OF which
four German machines were de-
stroycd and three Others were driven
down "out of control, Two Brit
iSh machines were lost.
Many of the night raids have been
very effective. Over one aerodrome
five tons of bombs were dropped,
seven direct hits ~ hangers. were
made and fire was started. On
another raid eight tons OF bombs
were dropped and several hangers

GROWING OF DIAMONDS
Chemical Engineer Has Undertaken
to Produce Large Crystals of
Carbon.

New York Sun: 1t has long been
known that the vapor of mercury
possesses the power of decomposins
various compounds of carbon i'll
such a way as to produce pure car
bon. Amalgams of sodium and other
metals slowly lose the mercury
through evaporation, and-when such
amalgams are placed in contact with
hydrocarbons the latter are decom-
posed, with the result that the car
bon is liberated as shapeless black
mass together with few crystals
These crystals are so small as to
be OF no practical value.
One chemical engineer has under
taken to produce large crystals OF
carbon by making the mercury de-
compose carbon compounds under
conditions favorable to the growth
OF CRYSTALS. In a tube about sixteen
inches in length and an inch in di-
ameter he placed quantity OF So
dunn amalgam containing about 81
per cent mercury. Over the amalgain
he placed a layer OF sodium siiicate
or water glass, and over this in turn
he sprinkled some diamond dust
containing very small number OF
crystals.
Into the tube he then passed a
curren OF ordinary illuminating gas
keeping the whole apparatus IN the,
water bath, at the temperature o.
boiling water. A number OF crysta'S
were formed, some OF them beng
of sufficient size to be seen without
the aid OF a microscope. That these
we're diamonds was indicated by the
fact that they disappeared when
heated in oxygen or fused whe"
heated with sodium carbonate: :,
1t may, therefore, be concluded,
that hydrocarbons are decomposeo
by mercury vapor in a way that I'D
crates the carbon not merely as a
shapeless mass, but also as crystals
if there is present a nucleus upon
which the carbon crystal can grow

LONDON ENJOYING
IMMUNITY FROM
NIGHT AIR RAIDS

London, Oct, 2o.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press. )--For
four months London has enjoyed
immunity from hostile air raids and
moonlight nights are no longer
dreaded by its inhabitants. For
many weeks German airmen have
had far more urgent business to at
tend to on the other side OF the
channel. Much of this is due to the
persistent raiding OF Rhine towns
and the bombing OF German aero
drome. These attacks compel the
enemy to muster for their defense
machines which they can very i'll
spare from the battlefields where
allied supremacy in the air becomes
increasingly manifest.

SWEDEN IS PRO-GERMAN
NORWAY PRO-ALLY

London, Oct. 22,-(By MALL
In Sweden one is disagreeably struck
bv the number OF people who speak
German. When asked a question III
English, Swede, be he a police-
man or civilian, invariably coun-
tered in German. At hotels ana
restaurants few porters and waters
understand or speak English. In
book-shops English books and mag
azines are few, while German are
largely represented.
1t is different in Norway, Eng
lish is taught at school, and nearly
everybody one meets, from the por-
ter at the station to ones neighbor
at the dinner table, speaks English
fluently. The windows in the book
shops are full of English and Amer
lean publications.
The treatment of English-speak-
ing visitors are more of hearty hos
pitality and kindliness in Norway

If You Have Amy News for this De-

or Two-Seven

In days of old the men Of France,
Of England and of Spain
Set out from home with sword and
lance
Across the stormy main,
To battle with the infidel
And Palestine regain.
Once more the mighty men Of France,
With all their brave Allies,
Again in battle line advance,
Again their shouts arise,
But now against the ruthless Hun
Their high endeavor lies.
Though beaten often to her knees,
Fair France does not recoil;
Through flames of hell and storms
that freeze
She faces the turmoil;
And prays that free America
May come and be her foil.
America has never failed
To champion the right,
And now her form, erect and mailed,
Is girded for the fight;
She sends her sons and wealth abroad
To bring in peace and light.
