Three thousand and more negro
voices were singing "The StarSpangled

nue. probably never heard 1T before:
The "Buffaloes" were singing, and
they sang as though they meant it.
There was a swing, vim, victorious
note to their rendition of the national
anthem that stified cheers and put a
lump in the most brazen throat. Hats
were dotted with astonishing sponta-
reity, and up and down the avenue
spectators in olive drab snapped to at
tention and the salute.
The "Buffaloes" can whip their
weight in wildcats, their reticent COM

The last note died away, and be-
fore the suddenly hushed avenue re-
sumed its normal pose the "Buffaloes"
crashed gleefully into "Over There, I"
and sang it through to the end, while
the busy thoroughfare still paused.
Then:
"Southrons. hear your country call you!

came the tuneful summons from the
"Buffaloes' band, while the band of

months. joined in the insistent notes.
Commands ran down the column as
officers pivoted ct the first note, and
some $500 negro fighters for world
democracy stepped out like one man.

Germans Aim to Command
Commerce Of Black Sea

AMSTERDAM, March 5.-A new
Helgoland, to command the commerce
of the Black Sea is to be constructed
by Germany on Snaks Island, about
twenty-five miles from the mouth OF
the Danube, according to the Mach
richten," of Hamburg
In connection with this proposal, it is
planned to build German CONNER

Danube.
The advantage of this location would
be, the newspaper says, that it would
enable Germany "to limit Rumanlan

permanent post of observation over
the country"

Now a X. p.

A young aviator ut m .Of the avia-
ton fields, wrote his mother a letter
recently, and among other things he
said that he had "got to be a X. p"
On receipt of the letter the good moth
or, with love in her heart for her boy,
fastened to a jewelry store and In
formed the jeweler that she wished to
buy u X. Of p. ring for her son, saying
that she had received a letter from
him stating that he had become a X.
p. A ring was selected, paid for and
prepared for mailing. In due time the
TX. p. aviator" received the package
containing the ring and a letter from
his mother, in which she commended
him IN the step he had taken and that
she was sending him this ring to show
her appreciation.
The young mar at one saw that
his mother was laboring under q mis-
take, as ne was not q member Of the
Knights Of Pythias, as she supposed,
but instead he was kitchen police at
the aviation grounds. He at once
wrote his mother. explaining the
meaning Of his letter, and kept the
matter a secret for some time, but 1t
was too good. and he told the story
to a party Of people who were visit

British National Anthem,

The authorship Of the British Ma.
tional anthem furnishes one Of those
evergreen subjects Of dispute which de-
light the soul of individuals whose Joy

serves a British exchange. Probably
there will also be conflicting evidences
on the question, but the common opin-
ion now is that Henry Carey. who died
In October, 1743, was the author. At
any rate, Carey sang the song as his
own composition at a dinner party in
COrnhlll, while shortly afterwards he
approached a publisher with the manu-
script. 1t was not at once accepted,
and seems to have been first sung In
public in 1745-two years after Carey's
death.

HENRY FOURTH OF GERMANY
Kings Troubles in Helping 70 Rule the
World Included Much Suffering
and Humiliation.

or all the wrangling monarchs who
had a part In running the world during
the Infancy Of government none was
more picturesque than Henry " Of
Germany. And he suffered perhaps
the greatest humiliation hat ever was
visited upon a king, writes a historian.
Gregory VII became pope In the sew
enth decade OF the eleventh century.
The election did not please Henry in
the least. Under the pilfered title of
Roman king he claimed a share In pa
pal affairs and did not propose to be
treated lightly. But Gregory persuad-
ed him to confirm his elevation. Then
disSension broke out between the two,
ana Henry's partisans unseated the
pope, who retired to Canossa, in the
Apennines.
Gregory retaliated on Henry by
welding that most powerful weapon
% the church-excommunication. This
casting out Of the faith was the most
feared OF all fates in ancient days, and
even Henry's close advisers fell away
from him. The king faced the storm
bravely enough, but things went
against him and he decided to pro-
pltiate Gregory. SO, in the midst Of
winter he crossed the Alps, a truly pro-
digious undertaking in those times, and
presented himself before the castle
where Gregory was staying, asking au-
dience. At first Gregory refused, but
then consented on condition that Hen
ry dismiss all his attendants and enter
alone. The German complied and
quilted his suite to 60 Inside the walls.
Further on he came to a second gate,
where he was told that the pope had
ordered him Invested OF all his regal
ornaments and clothing before proceed
ing. Henry reluctantly consented, and
received In exchange a coarse WOODEN
tunlc. Wearing this, he passed through
the gate, thinking his troubles over.
But there remained a last gate and a
final trial. For three days and nights
he was kept standing outside the gate
in severe weather, fasting from morn
ing until night. At the end Of that
time Gregory finally had the king
ushered before him and agreed to lift
the ban If Henry would consent to a
truce between them, made distinctly
on the pope's terms. To this Henry
agreed and was restored to the church.
He left soon after, nursing his hatred
for Gregory and determined to square
accounts. This led to the pope nomi-
mating another prince for Henry'S
throne and to endless warfare. The
king was communicated a second
time and continued under the ban most
of his troublous life. There have been
few instances Of a monarch undergo
ing any such humiliation as that he tx
%perienced, standing outside the pope's
door for three days in freezing weather.

II was night ia the trenches of
France. and the Canadian contingent
lay wutchful for the foe, on duty at
the listening posts, and night patrols
crcpt stealthily about in No Mans
Land. Their %bayonets were rubbed
with lamp black 50 that the sudden
bursting Of a star bomb would not be-

were together in one section Of the
trench.
One OF these was Private "Scotty"
Anderson, farmer, telegraph operator,
who had tapped the key from Boston
TO Frisco.
Scotty was long, lean and lank,
with arms like bean poles. But his
muscles were steel, md his courage
without a blemish. Said Sc0tty to his
pal, Jack Murdoch:

Murdoch.

Just then n sergeant hurried into

United States has declared war with
Germany"
Scotty was on his feet with a
whoop. He grabbed the sergeant and
said: "Say that again." The ser
geant repeated the message.
Scotty grabbed an American flag
with one hand and seized his gun with
the other.

With a whoop 100 Americans fol-
lowed Scotty yer the top. The SER
geant yelled something about orders,
but he was brushed aside.
Yelling, the Americans rushed over
No Mans Land, and leaped into the
German first line trench. The on
slaught was so sudden that the Ger
mans were taken by surprise. A score
or more were shot down before they
were aware what had happened, and
nearly n score more surrendered. The
Americans returned to their own
trench with their prisoners and they
were greeted as heroes by their Cana.

"We had to do something to cele-

Oil From Melon Sets.

A genuine American invention orig
mated at Rocky Ford. where a melon
grower named Burrill, with the fac
ulty of inductive reasoning. found out
that a clear, rich oil can be expressed
from the seeds of cantaloupes, notes
the Chicago Tribune. He submitted
samples to government chemists at
Washington, who notified him that
their tests indicated a new table oil Of
the same texture and color rs olive oil,
one which needed no refining process.
There is wide significance in this dis
covery, which indicates melons, squash
and pumpkin seeds, as perhaps those
of citrus fruit as well, as a prolific
source of oil supply.
