said:
1--WE need an army to avoid the dan

frontiers against bOlshevik agents or
the infiltration of German troops, par
ticularly those from the army of Gen
eral Hoffman. These factors cOnsti-
tute a menace unless we get arms
from the allies"
"The Germans prevent our officers
and troops, even in civil dress, from
crossing the frontier and organizing
the Poles at Wilma, NIinsk and else
where against growing disorders.
THE Germans are selling and Civ
ing arms to dangerous elements. 1t
is even declared the Germans have de-

o'clock 10 miles off shore. The sea
was calm and the stately fleet moved
landward under skies which were
steadily Frightening after a dark and
gloomy morning.
1t was more than an hour later that
the ships were signaled at the en-
trance Of the harbor, and a great cheer
arose from the waiting crowd as the
cloud of black smoke showed that the
fleet was near.
Ahead came a single destroyer,
showing the way to the fleet. and close
behind loomed the huge bulk of the
battleships Pennsylvania and Wyom-

commander of the Atlantic fleet, and
Vice Admiral Sims, commander of the

Cheers From All Shores.

Cheers From All Shores.
The entrance to the harbor is
strait mile wide, with forts browning
the towering cliffs on each side.
Through this avenue the pageant
moved, each of the ten forts contribute
ing its cannOnade and the ten Ameri-
can battleships answering gun for gun.
AS the feet neared the inner harbor
the land batteries and the assembled
war craft took up the thunderOus sa-
lutte, while the quays, the hills, and the
terraces rang with cheers. At the
same time all the war craft, merchant
men, and transports dressed ship and
manned the yards, and the strains of
the American anthem flOated over the
water, nIingling with the roar of the
guns and the shouts of the vast
crowds.
The George Washington came to
anchor mile off shore, while the bat
| tleships ranged themselves in double
column on either side.
Greeted by French Chiefs.
President Wilson watched the spec
tacle from the deck of his steamer,
waving greetings and acknowledge
ments as the cheering throng ashore
We'd with the artillery in the old
worlds first tribute to the American
president.
Soon after the arrival of the presi-
| Dental fleet Stephen Pichon, the
| French foreign minister, and Georges
| Leagues, the minister Of marine, who
were at Brest to meet the president
on behalf of the French government
boarded the George Washington to ex.
tend their first greeting. American Of
| ficials also went on board to make the
arrangements for the landing Of the
president.

as the presidents launch left the

Makes a Short Address.
President Wilson came ashore with
Mrs. Wilson, who carried an Ameri-
can flag and bouquet. They listened
to an address by the mayor of Brest
and the president delivered a brief
reply, thanking Mayor Goude for the
welcome. He then drove through the
cheering crowds to the railway sta
lion.
A singular feature of the welcome
to the president was the suppressed
interest of the German prisoners. 1t
was evident that their interest in the
visitor was as keen as that of the
huge crowd thronging the town. but
the authorities kept these Germans In
the background.
Among those who lined the route to
the station were delegations of patri-
otto societies and other organizations
and throngs of people from the neigh
boring localities, attired in gala Breton
| costumes.

HOW BIG SHELLS ARE TESTED
High Explosives Subjected to Hea.
Treatment, Also Tried in BrineIt
BaIl.Testinq Machine.

II you wish to test the hardness of
an apple, the most natural way is to
press down upon It's surface and note
the indentation Of your thumb. This
Is simple and conclusive evidence. The
French government employs very
similar test to prove the hardness of
It's high explosive shells, says the Pop
ular Science Monthly.
To secure the maximum of destruc-
tiyeness, II Is important not only that
the steel projectlles should be OF
certain hardness, but also that they
should not be too hard. After the cas-
ing has been roughly formed and hol-
lowed out, the shells are subjected to
what Is known as heat treatment"
by which the steel Is brought to the
correct hardness. To make donbly
sure, the shells are tested In a Brinell
ball-testing machine.
This machine tests the hardness OF
the shell exactly as your thumb tests
the hardness Of the apple. 1t is fitted
with small, hardened steel ball,
which Is pressed into the shell under
specified load. The indentation nude
BY the ball is measured, and II with.
In certain limits. the hardness is cor
rect. II not, the shell must be fur.

MEANING OF NAME DECEMBER
Twelfth Months Title Derived From
Latin Word "Dscem," When There
Were Only Ten Periods.

The name.of December is no longer
appropriate. for 1t Is derived from de
GEN." the Latin word meaning ten
declares q writer. The name was first
applied by the Romans when the year
Was divided into ten months. with the
addition Of supplementary days to
complete the period required for d
revolution Of the earth around the
sun.
When the calendar Of Romulus was
amended In 713 B. G. by Nuna Pom
pilius and the year was divided into
twelve months December became the
twelfth month. but retained Its original
name. The Emperor Commodus, who
reigned In the second century, attempt
ed to change the name Of December to
Amazonius, In honor Of fair fayorite
Of that name, whom he had painted to
resemble an Amazon. This innovation
was not popular, and when commodius
died from poison administered by an
other feminine favorite the name OF
Amazonius died with him.
The ancient Saxons called the last
month WInter-monat, which was after
ward changed to Heilig -Monat, or holy
month, when they were converted TO
Christianity. The modern Germans
again changed the name to Christ
monat, because the month contains the
anniversary Of the birth of Christ.

What Becomes Of That Cent?

A farmer comes to town with 30
apples, which he sells three for a cent,
getting. Of course. 10 cents for them.
Another farmer, also with 80 ap-
Piles, sells them two for cent, getting
10 cents for his. They get % cents
In all.
The next time they come In, with
30 apples each, they meet at the edge
OF town and put their apples together,
making 90 apples One man having
sold two for a cent, the other three for
a cent, they decided TO sell them five
for 2 cents.
They do so, and when they're
through find out they have received
but "a cents.
The problem is, why did they not
get as much for their apples selling
them five for 2 cents as they did when
they sold them separately, or. what
becomes of the cent?
