there are many similar appointments
in force elsewhere. The lord mayor
of Bristol is vice admiral of the chan.

is entitled to have borne before him
in virtue of his Office. By a fiction of
medieval law all dead persons washed
up by the tide were considered TO be-

chant Venturers stand, and births at

organization of the royal navy had
been fully developed it was convent

crown in regard to the duties of the
admiralty to local gentlemen, like the
Denisons of Scarborough, from which
the earls of Lonsdale derive. of suffi-

sympathy with smuggling, which was
the chief difficulty in early times. For
handling maritime questions special
qualifications were necessary, which

of and which I would have to enter
if was to get the passport, and
realized now how essential it was to
have something to enable me to get
through the frequent examinations
to which 1 expected to be subjected.
While I was still debating in my
mind whether it was going to be pos.
sible for me to enter the city that
night, 1 saw in the distance what ap-
peared to be an arc light, and as
neared it that was what it turned out
to be. Beneath the light l could
make out the forms of three guards,
and the thought of having to 90
through the same kind of ordeal that
l had just experienced filed me with
misgivings, Was it possible that
again?

make up my mind what was best to Go.
was overtaken by a group of Bel
gian women who were shuffling along
the road, and I decided to mingle
with them and see if l couldn't convey
the impression that 1 was one of
their party.
AS we approached the arc light, the
figures of those three soldiers with
their spiked helmets loomed before
like a regiment. 1 felt as if I were
walking right into the jaws of death.
Rather than go through what was in
store for me, / felt that I would in
finitely prefer to be fighting again in
the air with those four desperate
Huns who had been the cause of my
present plight-then, at least, 1
would have a chance to fight back,
but now 1 had to risk my life and
take what was coming to me without
a chance to strike a blow in my own
defense.
1 shall never forget my feelings as
we came within the shaft of light pro-
jected by that great arc light nor the
faces of those three guards as we
passed by them. l didn't look directly
at them, but out of the corner of my
eye ASNSL ulSSSu uSId1l. AClu u

passed them and endeavored to imi-
tate the slouching gait of the Belgians
as well as 1 could, and apparently it
worked. We walked right by those
guards and they paid absolutely no
attention to US.
If ever fellow felt like going down
on his knees and praying did at that
moment, but it wouldn't have done to
show my elation or gratitude in that
conspicuous way.
1t was then well after II o'clock and
I knew it would be unsafe for me to
attempt to find lodging place in the
city, and the only thing for me to do
was to locate the man whose name the
Belgian had given me. He had given
me a good description of the street
and had directed me how to get there,
and followed his instructions closely.
After walking the streets for about
half an hour, came upon one of the
landmarks my friend had described to
me and ten minutes afterwards 1 was
knocking at the door of the man who
was to make it possible for me to reach
Holland-and liberty! At least, that
was what I hoped.

WHEN A CUP Of
COFFEE TASTES LIKE
A MILLION DOLLARS
He Got His Cup and Then
Went onto Death.

Through the establishment of the
line of communication canteens in
France the American Red Cross is set
ting records in serving hot coffee, CO
Goa and sandwiches to the troops. One
of these refreshment units made an.
more than $4,000 meals in one week.
At another a cup Of coffee was served
every ten seconds for a period of two
consecutive hours.
In a single week these lines of COM

might be added that this man has since

Cure for the "BIues."

One of the cures for depression is a
long walk in the fresh mir. Not
dawdling up and down the 5 tet star
ing into shop windows, but n good,
brisk walk of many blocks, with the
mind concentrated on something else
than Il troubles. A good book is an
other cure and perhaps one of the best.
Even letter writing may serve or a
visit to a friend. Action, action, ac-
ton! That is what one must force
ones self into if the melancholy is to
to be dispelled. There are so many
real troubles and sorrows In the world.
There are so many brave persons
wrestling with real problems it seems
too bad that any one should lose a
chance of happiness in worry over
imaginary troubles. Remember that
every shield has two sides and that
n side is golden. Look on the bright
side of the shield.

der the laws of the state of Kansas
and its purposes are to life up people
and the nation and to help brighten

helpful and useful ideas which if put
in practice will unquestionably lift
the standard of the race.
1t was organized by Miss Ross in

THANKSGIVING DAY
American People Have Just Cause
To Be Thankful

Yesterday was Thanksgiving
Day. The American people had
just cause to be thankful and the
national day was generally OBJ
served. 1t has been many years,
If ever before, when this country
bad greater cause to be grateful
and when our people felt more
like giving thanks than they did
yesterday.
Locally our people planned q
Victory Thanksgiving Jubilee at
the court house for last night. The
affair was under the auspices of
the Red Cross, and a number of
committees, composed of our best
workers, planned to make the oc-
casion one long to be remembered.
The Democrat went to press
yesterday and consequently cannot
report this affair in this issue, but
we feel assured that it was a splen-
did success.
Our people are thankful, above
everything else, that the world war
has been brought to an end. They
are thankful that the Carroll county
boys will soon be home again.
They are exceedingly grateful that
so few ofthem have fallen on the
battlefield. While we rejoice over
these things our hearts are not so
full of JOY that we cannot sympa-
thize deeply with those who have
been made sad by the loss of their
loved ones in France or in camps
preparing to go.
