We sing Democracy. The song

From north to south. from east to west
This land is ours at peace to roam
II is the fairest and the best
That ever a people called their own
The torch OF freedom lights the fires
Upon the affairs OF our hearts;
We fight again as have our sires
That liberty may ne'er depart.
We pass the torch OF freedom on
Across the sea to bleeding France
We send our fortunes and our men
That 1t know not dangerous chance

Thv sacred trust our fortune holds
We know thee as thou art divine.
Thy blessings manifold.
Strong foes may try to win the day
And tear the flag OF freemen down
Yet they have not the power to sway
The sceptre, or wear the peoples

Fer we draw craven's breath

BILL DAVIDSON COMES HOME
By LIEUT.. F. J. SHEATH

Somewhere in France. December 26. Special Correspondence.)- Big Bill Da- vidson broke away from the squadron and disappeared into the blue over the enemy lines. Such were his instructions. He was the best pilot and flew the best machine in the squadron. But his com l rades mentally said goodbye to him as they watched him go. for he was
 bound on a mission which the confi- dential reports speak of as having to be performed 'at all costs.' None of them knew where he had
 gone; that knowledge was shared only by Bill himself. the c. 0. and the higher authorities. But they had heard of such
 missions before, and from the fact of their best pilot being taken, they formed their own opinion as to the serious na- ture of this particular job. Poor old Bill" said the flight com mander abruptly at tea time. The talk had been about something entirely dif- ferent. But the fate of their comrade had been in the thoughts of al and this break away from the thread the conversation seemed perfectly natural.
  if any man can do it." said his friends "Yes. he won't let the Germans get his bus If he can help it," said the flight commander. Bills regard for his airplane had become proverbial in the squadron.
 Then the subject dropped. and the talk turned to the days work. All were hop l ing against hope that their comrade would return.
 Late in the day the afternoon patrol came in, but it brought no word of him, and when the c. o. gave instructions for I the taking of an inventory of his kit. I they knew that the time by which he should have returned was long gone by, and that Big Bill Davidson would shortly be posted as missing. But ere the sun had set his machine was sighted. The word spread around the airdrome in buzz of excited com ment, and everyone. from the c. O. to the most recently joined mechanic, rushed out on to the enclosure to watch his return. The sun had sunk almost to the horizon, and right in its heart. clearly outlined against the reddening glow, was Davidsons machine. It had been a perfect day of the late autumn theh ush of its close was over the land. The wheels of the transport could be heard quite plainly rattling on the cobblestones of the village street more than two miles away. From the distant lines came the low sounds of the conflict. But no familiar hum heralded the airplane's approach. Gan you hear his engine?" asked the c. O., voicing the question in everyone's heart.
 No one answered. A reply seemed un- necessary.
 "He must be out of petrol by this time," the c. o. murmured. as If to himself.
 He's volplaning home sir" said the senior flight commander. "he would not be so low down if he had any engine power left"
 why yes! Of course" replied the c. l O., jerkily, as though suddenly realizing the presence of those around him. There was something awesome in the approach of that silent machine. ever holding it's position in the heart of the sun, steadily
 growing bigger. It seemed to cast .
 spell over the watchers.
 Three men left the group and hurried

toward the hangars. Two could be
 heard cranking up the engine of the
 motor ambulances. The sound sent an
 uneasy shver through the silent gather
 ing on the enclosure. The third man re-
 joined them. He had gone to fetch his
 glasses.
 Its Davidson, sir" he said, with the glasses still at his eyes. T can see him.
 His machine looks badly damaged" Let me see man!'' exclaimed the c. O.. impatiently.
 He made no remark after his exam nation, even when handing the glasses Into the flight commanders eager grasp. The sharp involuntary breath which the latter drew at his first sight sent a thrill of apprehension through all who heard it.
 The plane came on until it loomed big over the hangars. It was only 30 feet from the ground. It would barely clear the top of the sheds. They could see that it's propeller had been stripped of it's blades Davidson had performed a very fine feat of afrmanship in vol- blaming such distance. As lightly as a bird the airplane took the ground and stopped within a few yards of them. Good Godr
 It was the c. O. who uttered the ex- clamation. He had started forward with the others, but had orawn himself up in wonder. Never before had any of them seen a plane come home in such a condition. It looked as if madman had gone over 1t with a pickaxe and a bradawl. From end 70 end 1t was rd- dled and slashed The cross stays of the center section piece nad not dozen strands left among them.

'Dead for sometime, was the doctors opinion. With his ebbing strength he had headed his airpiane for the distant airdrome, damned the rud- der bar with his feet, locked the control lever between his knees and his close clutched hands. so that when his soul departed the course had not been altered. Under his dead control the airplana had come home. And, here is the point. in his notebook was the information he had been sent to obtain-"at all costs"

HOLLANDER SAYS H|SLAND SHOULD
 NOT BE ISOLATED

The Hague, Netherlands, December TO- (Correspondence.)-'I am quite sure the present policy of America and Britain of isolating Holland is bad one," declared Marie Willem Frederik Treub, Neither lands minister of finance. In discussing his country's position with the corre- spondent of the Associated Press Mr. Trecb IS one of the pillars of the pres- ent parliamentary liberal cabinet of which he has been termed the strong man on account of his vigorous person ality. resolute policy and restless activity, which give him a far-reaching influence in the counsels of the nation.
 His well-known sympathies with the entente allies lend interest to his exposi- ton of Hollands political and economic position and of questions pending with the United States and Britain. He con tended that the recent policy of these two powers was a bad one, because, he said. 1t made the Netherlands dependent on Germany, with the result that she in- evitably had to make all sorts of conces- sons to that country He thought 1t had a most unfortunate effect on the nations sympathies.
 At the outset of the war these were, for the larger part on the side of the allies, but pro-allied feeling had since largely declined as a result of allied measures he said. If a referendum on the subject could be taken today, he thought it would show pretty equal di- vision of sympathies between the entente and the central powers. Unless the present policy be changed" he added, T am quite sure pro-allied feeling will de- cline daily"
 As regards the question of the Neither lands ships that have so long been lying in American ports the minister was hopeful that an arrangement might even yet be reached.
 T can understand how America and the allies look at it." he continued. If Holland gets less grain and fodder she will be obliged to slaughter her cattle" they argue. We do not want the central powers to be supplied with cattle, but the main thing we want to stop going to Germany Is fat, and in such circum- stances Holland will be unable to send so much of that"
 T understand that reasoning, but what is forgotten is that this will result in our own people being underfed, and that re- lations between Holland and the allies and America will become somewhat un- sympathetic. If we are obliged to still more reduce our ration that will have very bad effect. Germans are manage able. but our people are of a different nature. If they get hungry they are very difficult to manage. I am not think ing of a revolution, but 1t would be likely to result in all sorts of riots and difri- culties."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-01-27

Several different lines of investigation
 are now leading us to believe that the l older conception was in the main the
 trUer one. 1t is evident that these clus-
 ters are of very different structure
 from that four flattened. very hetero-
 geEeous and extended Milky Way clus-
 ter, yet study of four of the spherical
 clusters leads to figures so great as from
 15,o00 to 5000 light years for their dis
 tances away from us. Thus they are on
 tho outer boundaries or even far beyond
 the limits of our visible universe. | Of four clusters studied, the nearest found to be the magnificent cluster in ! the southern constellation Centaurus.
 This is not surprising, since this cluster appears so much larger than any of the
 others; it's apparent diameter is two thirds that of the full moon, and it is easily visible to the naked eye. We would naturally expect, therefore, that it would prove to be our nearest neighbor among
 this class of objects
 One very interesting method of esti-
 mating the distance of certain of these clusters is made possible by the circum- stance, known for many years, that a
 large number of their stars are variable in brightness. These belong to definite
 class of variables known as the Delta Cepheid variables, so called because the SldT Deltd or the COnSLelidUOu CGpnuS (shown at A. Figure D is a typical and conspicuous example of the class. These
 stars increase quite suddenly to maxi
 mum brightness, then diminish more slowly and irregularly. and then brighten again, the whole period being so short
 as a few days or even as few hours. Such a kind of variation can only occur In stars of quite definite physical con dition and inherent brightness, especially If the period is about one-half day, a type very common in clusters By com parng the apparent brightness of these
 stars with the apparent brightness at
 known distance, the distance of the cius-.
 ter at once follows.
 Thus in the well known. though rather
 faint little cluster In the constellation of
 the Hunting Dogs Cat B, Figure D, the
 average brightness of flo variables was
 found to be 155 magnitude the average deviation of separate stars from this be-
 ing but 0.0S magnitude, thus indicating clearly how uniform the real brightness of these objects is. Similarly In the clus- ter in Centaurus the average magnitude was 1857 Chat is, CPS times brighter), from which we conclude that the first cluster is 2S times as far away as the seccnd.
 A recent interesting investigation Is upon the probable ages of these spherical | clusters; that is upon the time which would be required for rather irregular cloud of stars of such vast dimension to acquire an approximately spherical form.
 Easing the mathematical investigation
 upon what seem to be reasonable as- sumptions in regard to the size and av- craze distance apart of the stars, the required time Is found to be no less than | 2O00, GOO years. Truly our conceptions | of distance and of duration have both been enormously extended during the
 past few yearsi

 The manager of the big department store stood stockstill outside the little boxlike chamber which held the tele- phone of the establishment. for he was very startled manager, indeed With in the chamber he could hear Miss Jones. the stenographer, speaking, and this is a scrap of the conversation the startled maA oyerheard:
 'I love you, dear, and only you. I'm weeping my heart away. Yes, my dar- ling, speak to me once more. I love you, dear, I love you so."
 The young woman rang off and stepped out of the cabinet to confront the angry manager.
