Portable. But the dog disappeared one
morning as the snow began to fall.
They hunted for him all day, and they
didn't find him until the next day, at
the foot of the very tree where the
officer had run across him in the month
Of August.
The regiment was shifted again.
That night, when they marched, Wotan
responded with plaintive call to the
cattle that lowed and the invisible dogs
that parked in the misty shadows.
Then suddenly he dashed across the
fields and returned in excited leaps tc
take his place in the ranks. He was no
longer the spiritless beast of other
days. He uttered cries of delight, he
jumped gayly in the air, and when the
men halted he barked, impatient to go
ahead
"Truly," said the lieutenant, che is
not an ordinary animal shall finish
by making something out Of him."

Nevertheless, in spite of his docility
and his gentleness he had less the air
of a companion than of a guardian,
never playing and never responding to
caresses.
"He is sad,' said the lieutenant,
noting that at meals he refused sugar
and scraps of meat.
"He is very stupid" answered Lieu
tenant Baron Won Pietz, struggling his
shoulders.
Time passed. Wotan had recovered
his glossy coat and his firm muscles,
but he did not recover his gayety.
The Saxon regiment changed quarters
frequently, Wotan trotting on the flank
of the column. Sometimes, when they
entered a village, he seemed nervous
and restless and whimpered during the
night.
In the course Of marches and coun-
ter marches they returned to the re-
gion. in which the officer had picked
him up. Everything was changed. The
trees of the forest were bare of leaves.
The fields showed dull brown under a
leaden sky. One could hardly recog-

Mitchell in many Of his political cam
paigns in the East. Lieutenant Kruss
was an enlisted man in the 1st Aero
Squadron of the New York National
Guard, the only aviation squadron that
was ever formed in the National
Guard. Later, he was sent to the
Mineola government flying station
when the National Guard was Federal
lied, and then to North Island. There
he was made civilian instructor, but
recently was given commission with
the rank Of lieutenant in the regular
army.
The trick flying or field work in
struction of Major Mitchell has been
under Lieutenant Robert Maircsse of
the French Flying Corps. The tail
spin, the Immelman turn, in which the
plane goes wing over wing; the
loop the loop, the half loop and many
other difficult feats in the air have
been performed by the former Mayor.
The first morning Of the trick flying
instruction Lieutenant Mairesse flew
the plane upside down over the sea
and his pupil was covered with a
shower of oil and grease. The dizzy
whirl of the tail-spin is not the easiest
thing in the world for the student flier,
and in this case, as often happens, the
student became sick and dizzy. This
did not lessen the majors enthusiasm
a whit, however. and he kept repeat
ing the feat until he conquered the
weakness.
Although Major Mitchell is mighty
busy with his various classes at North
Island, and is in addition summary
court officer of the aviation school, he
has found time for other demands
made for patriotic purposes. A few
days after his arrival at Coronado, a
society circus was given there by
guests of tho hotel. Major Mitchell
made a dignified ring master, led the
opening tournament and gave the open
ing whistle that launched the show.

Cuba

l.. B. (Buffalo): Could you kindly
tell me the origin of the name Cuba :?
The United States Board Of Geo
graphical Names few years ago spent
considerable time in finding the origin
of the name Cuba, and the result was
announced as follows: Cuba IS the
name by which the island was origi-
nally known by the Lucayan Indians,
who were with Columbus when he dis
covered it. One of its villages or cities
was called by them Cubanacan, and it
is reported that from the similarity of
sounds Columbus, still supposing him
self to be on the coast of Asia, i'm
agined that this must be the city of
Kubla Khan, the Tartar sovereign cele-
brated by Marco Polo.
The survival Of the original name of
Cuba is remarkable instance of per-
sistence, as the island has been bap-
tised and rebaptised many time since
its European discovery. Columbus first
called it Juana, in honor of Prince
John, the son of Ferdinand and lsa-
bella. After Ferdinand's death it was
called, in his memory, Ferdinanda
Subsequently this name was changed
to Santiago, after ST. James, the patron
saint of Spain Still later it was named
Ave Maria. in honor of the Virgin
Mary But none of these names held
and the Indian name is still preserved

F. P.-When and how did the Tri-
color originate?
The Tricolor, the French national
standard, Of blue, white and red, di-
vided vertically, originated during the
first French Revolution. In 1893 the
leaf plucked by Camille Desmoulins in
the garden of the Palais Royal became
a rallying sign, and green was to be
adopted as the national color; but, re-
membering that green was the color
of the hated Prince d'Artois, they re-
jected it on the following day. They
at first chose, instead, blue and red,
the colors of the City. of Paris, and
later added the white of royalty, that
had been faithfully preserved by the
National Guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after the taking Of the Bastile,
Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colored cocard as a
badge of the reconciliation with the
King
Thus the Tricolor originated as the
symbol of the liberty of the French
nation, and it continued as such even
when afterward the RECONCILIATION"
with the King ended with his decapita-
ton.

They went into camp in a village.
Winter had arrived. 1t showed. Wotan
ran before the officer from door to
door, stopping, waiting for him, leav-
ing him with sudden turns and then
dashing back to his side. The lieuten-
ant chose for his quarters handsome
house, standing back in a garden. 1t
had pointed roof and was surrounded
by wooden balconies. Close behind him
Wotan ran from room to room, gallop-
ing up the stairways, drying on the
carpets his coat covered with snow
fakes.
They lighted a fire. But he refused
to lie alongside the wooden logs and
every nook and corner-the greenhouse,
the cellar, the shed, where a hundred
miscellaneous objects were stored; a
dog house in which some straw was
rotting. During the day he never en-
tered the house. In the evenings. when
the officer whistled for him to give
him his dinner, he did rot respond.
The orderly wanted to chase him away.
Then for the first time he showed his
teeth
LET him alone. When he gets hun
cry he will come" said the baron.
Night came on. The moon shone
down on the white surface of the gar
den. Wotan resumed his rounds, trot-
ting indefatigably from bush to bush.
A deep silence hung over the country.
The last fires were extinguished. The
clock in the church tower struck ten
A sound of footsteps and of laughter
came from the frozen road outside.
Then man advanced alone. A figure
appeared behind the iron grating and
the garden gate creakcd on its hinges.
1t was the lieutenant returning, some
what intoxicated. He whistled. Nothing
happened. But as he arrived at the
doorway Of the house, without a sound,
with spring SO sudden that the snow
flew from under his paws, the dog
jumped at the officers neck and
stretched him on the ground.

Making an Aviator of New Yorks Ex-NIayor

r OS ANGELES, May 11-From 7
o'clock in the morning until
4:30 o'clock in the afternoon
Major John Purroy Mitchell, former
Mayor of New York City, has been
working for weeks under fight instruc-
ton at Rockwell Field, North Island.
When the major received his R. M. A.
license he made record in aviation
circles, as he is the Oldest man in point
of years who was ever accepted for
flight instruction in the Aviation Corps
In spite of being beyond the age limit
Major Mitchell completed his course in
about thirty hours of flying, while most
men require thirty-five hours.
Major Mitchell became g full-fedged

pleted his fifth 'cross-countrv flight

cent record on the five flights.
When Major General George E.
Souier, chief Of the aviation branch Of
the Signal Corps, gave the former
Mayor of New York the commission OF
major it was generally supposed that
Major Mitchell would be in the ground
service on account Of his age. But he
was not content with this and passed
the rigorous tests necessary to enter
the flying service. as his ambition Is to
fly on the French front and as soon as
possible. Major Mitchell will be thirty
nine in June, and thirty is the usual
age limit for accepting army fiiers and
most Of tho cadets are under twenty
five.

scribed.
At this meeting the violent
speeches came not from Americans.
but from visitors to your shores, who
criticised the new American spirit.
The audience consisted largely of
women with generous and easily
stirred emotions, and the theory was
developed from the platform that
England intended to massacre a con-
siderable portion of Ireland's civil
population and so clear the land for
discharged British soldiers who
might need employment. Warnings
were uttered against plans by Eng
land to violate Irish women and
slaughter Irish children. Over such
balderdash one need not get excited,
but | do ask the question how it helps
the cause of Ireland. Ulster, which is
the real difficulty, was not men
toned, except most casually. But it
is Ulster that an England, commit
ted to Home Rule, has to face.
What the people cheered was a
proposal to make Ireland an indie.

who quite honestly cheer an Irish
republic considered precisely how
their own situation as Americans
would be affected thereby? l find ii

The Irish are another distinct ra-

None. for according to science our

Interested and which consists of self
consciousness and memory, vanishes as
soon as the consensus of living cells
has been broken by death. True. sci

of energy, in consequence of which
everything imbued with vital activity
must continue to live forever under
some form of undulation or vibration
which nothing in the limitless space of
the universe can ever destroy.
