Among these treasures the gigan-
tic crown Of the czars is the most
conspicuous object. It is composed
entirely of brilliants OF the purest
water and enriched by two rows of
matchless pearls. the equals Of
which do not exist in Europe. The
crown OF the empress is made after
the same model. but is of smaller
size and dimensions. II formerly
belonged TO Catherine II, and had
been made especially for her. as she
found the large crown too heavy and
massive for her head. When the
former Car Nicholas III was crown
ed, his mother, the DOwager en-
press. according to etiquette, had 10
appear at the ceremony in full re-
gal attire. and the question arose as
10 whether she was 10 wear the
crown Of Catherine or the new one
which had been especially made for
this occasion, when two expresses
were to present themselves before
their subjects, wearing the full in

wager would have liked 10 retain for
her use the diadem she had worn on
her own coronation day, but the
car decided otherwise and il was
the new one which he obliged his
mother to put on. much TO the dis
gust of the latter.
Next TO the crown stands in i'm
portance the imperial scepter. which
is surmOunted by the big jewel
known as the Orloff diamond and
which was presented 10 the Empress
Catherine ii by her famous favorite
Orlon. 1t is supposed to be one of
the eyes of an Indian idol, the other
one being represented by the Kohl

Editorial Comment
The Navy
New York SUM

From the nature of the work It is
doing our navy is deprived Of the ad-
vantages Of public recognition for its
present services. 1t is conducting OPP
erations in association with the naval
forces of The Allies, conveying army
transports. and protecting merchant
men. Silence is essential to its sue
cess, and therefore the lips that would
praise it are sealed.
But we know the navy is doing its
duty and we know that others are
aware of it. Vice Admiral Sir Lewis
Bayly's cider, praising officers and
men for their Skill. energy, and I'M
failing good nature" issued yesterday
on the first anniversary of the arrival
of a United States naval force in Eu-
ropean waters, is welcome profession
al testimony to the qualities that have
always been characteristic of our
navy, AMI which are particularly val
liable when, as at the present mo-
ment, it must adapt itself to condi-
lions not Of its own making, but pre-
determined for it by others.
When the veil of secrecy that now
hides from us the hazardous feats and
technical triumphs of the navy is
lifted, we shall take new pride in it
and in its personnel. The navy. is do
ing its iIty to the satisfaction of it's
officers, whose standard is of the
highest; and in doing this it is up
holding the finest traditions of the
service.

At the Front

Another day of comparative quiet
the Huns are apparently preparing
for another drive That does not mean
Allies. fo- their vigilance was never
relaxed and every man was doubtless
busy enough, but our boys were not
obliged 20 stack up against a great
offensive nor anything beyond the
usual day to- day fighting all along
the line Artillery fire continued up
and down the front, but that is now
accepted as part of the days work.
An official announcement from the
American Army in France-the first
since it entered the active fighting
zone-shows that Pershing's boys are
right up where the music is loudest
and shouldcring their part of the bur-
den 1t IS also announced that where
Americans, French and English are
fighting together, with the Americans
in superior numbers, their COM
mander will then be in command Of
the entire force. That is in line with
the statement that Gen. Pershing
might soon be commanding an allied
force.
1t is quiet also in Italy, although
it is expected that something will
break out there before either In F'lan-
ders or Picardy.

Found Yankees Rull Of Fight.

Adjutant Raymond Starbird Of the
Salvation Army is just back from
seven months in range of the German
guns and has many interesting things
to tell of his experiences and OBJ
servations.
German prisoners taken say that
they have all along planned to terrify
the Americans. believing that they
are not real soldiers, and have no
disposition to fight. but, they admit.
now that they have reason to know
that the Americans are full of fight.
They know it to their sorrow
1T is quite impossible to describe
the inferno over there. Just before
l left a giant she'll from the German
lines pumped itself down within
forty feet of a Salvation Army Hut
in which was Capt. Andrews and
some assistants. Had the shell ex-
ploded the hut and it's occupants
would have been blown to atoms, but,
although it plowed in twelve feet, it
did not go Off"

American Flag Back to Stay.

TANNERS of so years ago Is now in
the making, according to Colonel R..
NJ. Thompson, honorary president of
the Naval League of America, who Is
now on the Pacific coast and Is tell
ing the people there in enthusiastic
words Of the work being rushed in
the Atlantic yards and urging the
Pacific yards forward in a friendly
contest of shipbuilding.
I'm manning the ships of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation said
Colonel Thompson, I'VE have attract
ed to the sea the same type of young
men who in the days Of the clipper
ships made the phrase, smart as
Yankee sailor known all over the
world. These men have the ad-
venturous spirit which hears the call
of the sea- and from them l am con-
fdent we shall breed race of sailors
that will be second to none.
I'VE are teaching them to become
efficient mercantile marine officers
and to take pride in their profess
sion. When this war is over these
young men will not return to the
feshpots of the cities but will stay
with the sea. They will be seasoned
TO the dangers of deep sea navigation,
and with decent living wages and the
chance to command, the sea will be-
come their lifelong profession"

Grafton with CroiX de Guerre, the
French war medal, for exemplary

tanned in q letter received at Dexter
from Capt.. Percy A. Hasty, COM
fmanding CO. A. Private Page is son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Eben Page of Dex-

In his letter Capt. Hasty, among
other things, says: Il will tell you

That Little Old Log Cabin.

A great many Portland people
never saw q real log cabin such as
has just been erected in Monument
square and great many more never
saw one put together as they were
privileged to do this week-Portland

used to insist. if it isn't built of logs
with the bark on it isn't a real

And is it when the logs are laid
with the notches up?-Kennebec

There are several schools of log
cabin architecture, but as Warwick
said:
Between two hawks, which flies the
higher pitch;
Between two dogs. which hath the
deeper mouth:
Between two blades, which bears the
better temper;
Between two horses, which doth bear
him best;
Between two girls. which hath the
merriest eye.

But in these nice sharp outlets of

Good faith. l am no wiser than a

We're willing to take Virgil Eat
on's word for the truth Of the state
ment that real log cabin must be
built Of logs with the bark on" but
whether the logs should be laid with
the notches up or down would de-
pend largely. we should suppose, on
whether the structure was intended
to be permanent or merely tempo
rary.-Biddeford Journal.
