George Washington
Was Not Mentioned
Youthful French Orator Seemed to Think Lafayette Was
Really the Father Of This Country.
By DR.. ESTHER LOVEJOY.

What Is the attitude of the French
people toward the Americans? The
French are very polite people, and
no matter what their lnmost thoughts
may be, they are not likely to express
an opinion to an American other than
complimentary. But the children of
all the world are guileless. They can
be depended upon TO express In public
the private opinions of their parents.
The children of France are crazy about
Americans in uniform, so we guess
what their parents feel for us.
on one occasion | was passing a pub
lie school with another Red Cross wo-
man physician IN uniform and a
French visiting nurse The school had
just been dismissed and a group OF
young boys came trooplng out. In
stantly we were surrounded, and after
seconds parley young Mirabeau OF
about twelve years, the spokesman of
the group, stepped forward bowed
formally and delivered an address on
Lafayette and America. which was
punctuated by the applause of his nd
mirlng compstriots. The American
Eaglet could not possibly have scream
ed louder In the United States on the
Fourth of July than it did on that back
street OF munItlon town in France.
Washington Not Mentioned.
There seems TO be some difference
OF opinion on the relative Importance
OF certain historic characters connect
ed with the American Revolution.

Lafayette is inseparately associated in
the mind Of young France with the
United States and all Ii stands for.
George Washington wasn't mentioned.
According to the Juvenile French
version, Lafayette saved America.
This was the most glorious achieve
ment In the history of the world. Sin
gle handed and alone Lafayette sowed
the seeds of liberty In the United
States that has spread from the At
lantic to the Pacific and fred the souls

American colonies were in a death

Lafayette crossed the ocean on slow
sailing ship--so slow, so slow for so
swift a soul--and saved America. And
now, after $40 years, the hosts Of
America. a million strong, are return

Of repayIng the debt Of gratitude.

MEANING OF SHIP TONNAGE
Several Different Uses Of Term, APP
piled as Occasion Demands, Are
Cited by National Authority.

The different uses Of tonnage terms
when speaking of ships are causes OF
confusion to the lay mind. Why ships
cannot be really compared according
to tonnage is explained by Capt. c. a.
McAlllster, engineer in chief, United
States coast guard, In an article In
Popular Science Monthly. For example,
he states, steamship companies, in or
der to impress relative safety of their
craft, viii advertise the sailing OF a
certain steamer Of 10000 tons, mean
ing, of course, gross tons. The com
panys agent, In entering it at the Gus
tom house, viii take precaution to GER
tify that she is only 1910 tons, when
paying tonnage taxes. He then Is re-
ferring to her net tonnage, and in TACT
that standard is used only when pay
ing dues or taxes.
Displacement tonnage is almost ex-
clusively applied to warshlps, as they
do not carry cargoes. Strange to say,
the tonnage of a battleship varies al
most hourly, as coal OF other weighty
objects are used or taken on board.
The tonnage of warships is, however,
fixed they are referred to in terms of
the fixed tonnage.
A statement that a 10.O00ton battle
ship sank a 10,000-ton merchant ship
does not mean that the ships were of
equal size. The merchant ship would
be much larger, owing to the different
meanings Of the term ton" as applied
TO the two types of vessels. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible to give rules for the
relation of these terms, as the condi-
lions vary too greatly. Generally speak
ing, the gross tonnage of a ship Is from
so to 100 per cent greater than the net
tonnage.

SAVTOURS
By ANGELA MORGAN

Yours is the daring skill to tread
The waters of world at war;
Yours is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are,
Courage and comfort like a star.
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And God is thrilling in your tone:
Brothers the ship is not alone;
Be not afraid"
Ye are the Christs of this black hour.
The Great Physician come again,
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race Of men,
We hold the hurt world to your breast;
Ie bind her bruised and broken soul;
The sick, the manned and the oppressed
Yours is the gift to make them whole.
And where the stricken miles unrou
Ne sound the resurrection morn:
Above the bier where Justice lies.
With visions of an age new born.
Ye bid the dead arise
o World, that walkest now in tears
Where Truth again is crucified
After the thousand, thousand years
See yet that Christ is not denied!

THE HEROISl OF MERCY
By OPIE READ

There is no greater heroism than the
heroism of mercy. There is no truer
bravery than the bravery of tenderness.
Out of the crash of nation against nation
arises a Chrst-like sympathy, and the
Insignia of its tenderness is the cross OF
red. 1t is the only remaining glow of a
Christian hope 1t is religion under
she'll fire. 1t is a sigh set to the music
Of sympathetic action. If man who
speaks truth should say to you, with
the use of five dollars you can save a
