GOES FAR BACK IN HISTORY
French City of Montdidier Was of I'M
portance in First Millennium of
the Christian Era.

The National Geographic society IS
sues the following war geography bull
letin on Montdidier, a few miles east
of Amiens:
"Thfs little town., whose history
dates back to the first millennium OF
the Christian era, had a population
of less than 5000 at the beginning Of
the war, but it was rich. in historic
associations 1t is said to have de-
rived it's name from the fact that
Didier or Desiderius. the last of the
Lombard, kings, was imprisoned here
in TIA by Charlemagne. 1t will be re-
membered that Charlemagne, having
put aside his first wife, Desiderius'
daughter, took up the quarrel of Pope
Adrian I with the Lombard monarch,
and after marching an army across
the Alps, captured the erstwhile IA
ther-in-law's capital city, Ticinum,
and took the Vanquished ruler back
to France, where he died in captivity.
''Montdidier is attractively situated
on an eninence on the banks of the
river Don. 1t is the capital of an ar
reimbursement in the department of
the Somme, and is g. miles north Of
Paris by rail, and % miles southeast
of Amiens. It's chief industries be-
fore the war were tanneries and the
manufacture of zinc-white.
"When the tides of war finally re-
cede it is probable that the three build
ings in which the citizens of Mont
didier took the greatest pride will be
crumbling ruins. These are the church
of st. Pierre which was built before
Columbus set sail on his voyage of
discovery, and which contains a tomb
and font of the eleventh century; the
church of ST. Sepulclre, a fifteenth
century edifice, and the Palais de JUS
tice, formerly the city castle. In the
last named building visitors before the
war were shown, six unusually hand
some Brussels tapestries -eof the sew
enteenth century. These were I'M
doubtedly removed before the Ger
mans entered the city.
"Montdidier's most famous son was

impetus to the culture of the potato

then passed under the dominion of the
counts of Creepy and Valois. In the
twelfth century it became a posses
sion of the French crown and received
a charter of liberties. In 1886 it Of
fered a gallant and successful resist
ance to the Spanish invaders"

Manchester, England, Sept. 10
Remarkable profits have been made
in the Lancashire cotton industry
since the beginning of the year, de-
spite the shortage of raw material
from the United States, and the com
pulsory stoppage of machinery.
Fifteen spinning concerns publish
accounts whose total profits for the
half year ended June last, amount to
$G95,125 against $209,790 in the six
months ending December, 1917. AS
