CALAIS LONG FAMOUS PORT
Three Nations Have Held City Which
the Germans Are Now So Eager
to Possess.

Since the beginning Of the war
Calais has been an objective of the
German army. 1t Is Il familiar name
to those who have crossed the 90 miles
Of nasty choppy water that lies be-
tween Calais and the English port Of
Dover.
Fifty years ago Calais was regard
ed as fortress of the first class, but
1t would now probably not be able to
defend itself many days against mod
ern artillery. In 1916, after the bat
tie of Crecy, Calais was besieged by
the English King Edward III, holding
ont rcsolutely by the bravery Of Jean
de Venne. Its inhabitants were saved
from the cruel fnte with which Ed
ward menaced them by the devotion
of seven of its chief citizens, who in
turn were themselves spared at the
prayer Of Queen phillpa, this event
having been commcmorated in a wide
ly known historical painting
Calais remained in the hands Of the
English until 1853. when 1t was taken
by the duke Of Guisc, at the head Of
10000 men, from an il-proylded Eng
fish garrison only 500 strong, after
siege Of seven days. This loss led to
the remark Of IN English queen. who
declared That when she died the word
"CalaiS" would be found imprinted on
her heart Calais was held by the
Spaniards from 1896 to 1893 but was
restored to the French by treaty.
On the chalk cliffs of Dover stands
q gun, several centuries old, on which
Is engraved The doggorcl:
Feed me well ara keep me clean.
And III send a hall to Calais green"
This was fiction, but modern artil-
lery could easily accomplish the feat.
