Story of a Famous Shrine

From the Peoples Home Journal.
 The most ancient and revered shrine in Mexico is that of the Virgin of Guadalupe, concerning which a beauti- full legend is told. A short distance from the present City of Mexico is a hill called Tepeyacco where, in ancient times. the natives celebrated rites in honor of the mother of their gods. In 1531, soon after the conquest of Mex ico by the Spaniards, a converted In- dian, named Diego, was crossing this hill one morning on the way to mass. As he reached the summit the air was filled with music, so the legend reads; and. looking up. he saw white cloud surrounded by brilliant rainbow marvellous beauty who addressed Diego in his own languauge. told him she was Mary. mother of God, and that it was her wish that a shrine be built on the hill in her honor. Diego hurried on to mass and told the bishop of the vision and of the message. The skep- tical bishop demanded proof.
 When next the vision appeared to him, Diego told of the bishops doubts and his demand for a token. This the Virgin promised to give at their next meeting. But when the time came for Diego to keep his tryst at the top of the hill his uncle was very i'll, and he remained to care for him. Whereupon the Virgin appeared at the little hut and bade him go to the hilltop, where a sign would be found. Diego hurried to the summit; and there. where there had been only barren rock, he found bed of the most marvellous flowers. Filling his blanket with these as a proof that the sign had been given him, the Indian hurried to the bishop. The people outside the church derided Diego and plucked at the flowers; but, finally, when he was admitted to the bishops presence and threw open the blanket, instead of the flowers, there appeared on the blanket a wonderful painting of the Virgin. Convinced, the bishop and his attendants followed Diego to the hill and besought him to point out the exact spot where the Virgin had stood. Diego being uncer- tain for a moment, fountain suddenly gushed from the spot.

LITTLE TANKS WIN NEW LAURELS DAILY Work of Single Tank En- abled 15 Americans to Cap
 ture 700 Germans

With the American Armies, October IT. rels daily are being won by the French
 light tanks" which are cooperating with the American forces in pushing the Germans back toward the Rhine.
 Among the many individual feats Of
 the tanks and their drivers which have come to light, one of the most interest,"
 ing, perhaps, is that of Brgadier Gel
 Her, who has been decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor for his
 work in a light tank which enabled l5
 American soldiers to capture 700 Ger
 mans.
 Several hundred of these tanks led the
 counter offensive from the Villers- Cot
 terets forest in July, which marked what
 appears to have been the turning point of the war.
 They broke through the enemy's lines, destroying his machine gun sections, overcoming strong centers of resistance and spreading panic and demoralization in the German ranks
 Wherever the infantry was preceded by the chars dassaut,' as the French call them, the advance was three miles a day It was these same French light tanks" which preceded the Americans in their advance upon Juvigny and Terny on the Soissons plateau. One of them, manned by a lieutenant, killed more than 2UJ Germans on the plateau.
 Documents that have come into the hands of the French staff show that the Germans are greatly worried by the light tanks and are studiously coaching their men in methods of defense against them. The light cars have the advantage of greater speed and of being more easily handled than the heavier tanks. They
 require crew of only two men, a driver
 and a gunner, and carry one and
 half-inch gun and a machine gun.

By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, October 19.-(Special) The most absorbing of all topics in Washington regards the condition of Germany-on the battlefield and at home.
 There are countless reports that Germany has accepted or will accept the terms laid down by President Will son in his last communication-will surrender unconditionally, provided an opportunity be given for frank, full and free discussion.
 On the other hand. there are re- ports that Germany is playing a diplo- matic game in the hope of gaining time-that Germany is using every government agency to produce peace atmosphere" and synchro- nously is preparing to launch coun- ter attack.
 The first impulse of the President will be to tell the German chancellor that no further talk is possible. that whining has had its hour and can have no more, that differences must be settled at the mouth of the cannon.
 At the same time, he is compelled,
