GIVEN HONOR NOT DESERVED
Error of Learned Men Responsible for
America Being Named After
Amerigo Vespucci.

The story of how the new world re-
ceived the name of America is strik-
ing example of what publicity will ac-
complish. Amerigo Vespucci, highly
educated Florentine, was head of a
business house in Seville, Spain, prob
ably as agent for the great trading
firm of the Medicis, and helped to fit
out one of the expeditions with which
Columbus sailed. When the latter's
monopoly was revoked, Vespucci un-
dertook several voyages of exploration
on his own account, during which he
claimed in many letters to have been
the first to reach the mainland of the
new continent, giving the date as June,
16, 1897.
On April 25, 1907, the learned heads
Of the University of st. Die. in Lor-
raine, decided, incorrectly, that he was
entitled to the honor Of discovery, Co
lumbus having only reached the
islands of the West Indies. and that
the western hemisphere should bear
his name. The name America was,
therefore, first used in the book Cos
mographiae Inroductio," by Martin
Waldseemuller, professor of cosmog-
raphy at the university.
1t has since been shown that YES
pucci was preceded by both Columbus
and John Cabot, but it was too late,
the new world had been christened
America and the fact advertised in
print. The house where the meeting
was held at which the classical error
was made was still standing at st. Die
at the outbreak of the war, and wes
annually visited by many tourists from
both North and South America.

KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving In Y. M. c. A. "Hut"
In Training Camp Finds His
Duties Many aEi Varied.

If there is a notion that Y. M. G. A.
work in the camps consists in selling
stamps and handing out pocket testa-
ments, let it be dissipated at once.
One preacher, serving in a hut in a
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
He has built fires, swept floors,
looked after hundreds of packages Of
laundry, umpires basketball games, or
ganized a glee club, stage-managed a
circus, sold ice cream at the canteen,
and driven a fiivver ten miles and
back three times q week to provide
said cream. He has written letters
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
their first lessons in the English Ian
guage. He has been a repository for
hundreds of heart secrets, and he has
served as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at a
time.
Perhaps oldest Of his many tasks
was one that came his way on a wild
and stormy night in April, when the
| master of arms at the military station
entered the ''Y'' hut after taps, carry
| ing a red box under his arm.
| Say" said the master of arms,
"we've got a lot of T. N. T. mines
stored at the station. Here's the det-
onators, in this box. There's consid-
cradle lightning around, and it isn't
safe to leave these things close to the
mines. Would you just as soon take
care of the box over night"

night Cor tried to sleep) with enough
high explosive under his cot to blow
him half way to heaven.

Just a Flower.

Here comes a market basket filed
with meat, potatoes, turnips, onions,
caulif1owers and radishes, a substan-

but peeping out from these varied table
needs is a flower, blooming from &

During the whole interview we
were left entirely alone, which i'm
pressed me as significant of the dem
ocratic manner of the present king
of England, and 1 certainly came
away with the utmost respect for him.
In all my conversation, 1 recalled
afterwards, never addressed the
king as Your Majesty" but used the
military "sir." AS 1 was British Of
he probably appreciated this manner
Of address more than if 1 had used
the usual your Majesty" Perhaps
he attributed it to the fact that 1
was an American. At any rate, he
didn't evince any displeasure at my
departure from what 1 understand is
the usual form of address.
Before left he asked me what my
plans for the future were.
"Why, sir, l hope to rejoin my
squadron at the earliest possible mo-
ment!" I replied.
NO, Leftenant," he rejoined, "that
is out of the question. We can't risk
losing you for good by sending you
back to part of the front opposed
by Germans, because if you were un-
| fortunate enough to be captured
again they would undoubtedly shoot

well, if I can't serve in France,

ible for me to fly in Italy or Salon
ica?"
"No," he replied, ''that would be
almost as bad. The only thing that
I can suggest for you to do is either
to take up instruction-a very valu
able form of service-or perhaps il
might be safe enough for you t.

Home AGAIN,


That same day, in the evening, /
Savoy by a fellow officer who had
bet three other friends of mine that
I would be home by Christmas. This
wager had been made at the time he
heard that / was prisoner Of war,
and the dinner was the stake.
The first intimation he had of my
safe return from Germany and the
fact that he had won his bet was a
telegram I sent him reading as fol-
lows:
"Lieut. Louis Grand:
''War bread bad, so came home.
PAT"
He said he would not part with
that message for thousand dollars.
Other banquets followed in fast sue
cession. After / had survived nine of
them I figured that I was now in as
much danger of succumbing to sur
felt of rich food as had previously
been Of dying from starvation, and
for my own protection, 1 decided to
leave London. Moreover, my thoughts
and my heart were turning back to
the land of my birth, where I knew
there was loving mother who was
longing for more substantial evidence
of my safe escape than the cables and
letters she had received.
Strangely enough, on the boat which
carried me across the Atlantic, I saw
an Il. T. c. man-Lieutenant Lascel
les.
I walked over to him, held out my
hand and said "Hello!'
He looked at me steadily for at least
a minute.

Pat O'Brien." he declared, but cam

I quickly convinced him that hi'
eyes were still to be relied upon, an(

His mystification was quite expli-

1 was going down to earth with a
bullet in my face and my machine do

of my comrades in the flying corps
and was in the fight which resulted
in my capture. He said he had read
the report that 1 was a prisoner of
war, but he had never believed it, as
he did not think it possible for me to
survive that fall.
He was one Of the few men living
out of eighteen who were originally
in my squadron. do not mean the
eighteen with whom 1 sailed from

"Germ.Proof" Money.

To a bank in Spokane, Wash, be-
longs the distinction of circulating the
first antiseptic germ-proof national
bank notes. The United States treas
ury is still experimenting with devices
to laundry dirty bank notes to bright

the first sanitary money on record.
Fifty thousand dollars in bills, put out
by the bank, were signed with an ink
said to consist largely of carbolic acid.
