all over the world.
 The Bolsheviks have assassinated in | Russia thousands of peaceful citizens. l They have imprisoned their most hon. ! oraele political opponents. They have .iEaugurated the most savage reign of terrorism. The condition of Russia under the Bolsheviks fills me with de- spalr. The policy of the Bolsheviks in supporting Germany and Austria and Turkey fills me with disgust. All my ideals are shattered. All my tondest hopes are cruelty deceived.
 Landau is one of those RhineIand towns to which the French may make sentimental claim-just as the Ger mans do towards French towns. For the ancient little city was in the hands or France for 135 years up to 100 years ago. From the German point Of view It Is an ideal place to bonsb-it has two very old Gothic churches. Apart from it's scenery, however, and it's 1 carriage building pride in having l given England a convenient name for
 the respectable landau, it has little to ] boast of.
 It will have been noted that the presentation which Dean Kyle dedi- ! I qay consisted of chalice and paten, l for one is incomplete without the oth- CT. How paten came to have its spe- cial and limited meaning of a cover l for chalice is not easily determined, for patiIla, from which it is derived, was in late Latin the name given to
 the preserving rust on copper and
 this suggested the sense Tn which the
 word is used by Shakespeare in de- lcnr IA afv-r- Az k patens of bright gold, The church
 more probably derived their word from the classical Latin patina dish, restricting it's meaning to part in
 stead of the whole of vessel.
 When John Wilson, a miner, broke into a jewellers shop at Kingston (Surrey) and stole property to the I value of e2S7 he left the following
 note for the shopkeeper:
 Dear Friend: It is hard that you
 should have your beautiful rings and
 jewelry stolen, but be of good heart,
 as the one who has taken or is taking
 them needs them more than you do.
 The valuables I have got do not
 amount to very large sum of money,
 but still they are medicine for a poor

 Pleading guilty. Wilson was sen fenced to six months imprisonment. During the last few days little dolls . of green and yellow wool have ap-
 peared in mems buttonholes and la dies corsages. They bear names, for they are the new protectors, of Paris One is Nuette, the other is Rintintin , The first is g, Gotha mascot, the sec , ond preserves the wearer from Ser tha's shells.
 Paris, light hearted as usual, ever , in the face of imminent danger, is de. !, lighted with it's new toy. The little ! midinettes, other workers, old ana : young, vie with faultlessly dressed ladies and their escorts to secure these mascots. much to the satisfaction O

 a roaring business. <, On the occasion of the bestowaI o | l the rosette of an officer of the Legiol of Honor upon the famous Frencl
 airman Nungesser. who has gained 3 | or 36 victories, the newspapers re J count some of the deeds which hay earned this brilliant officer the honol Il The following is one of the most pic : turesque of his adventures:
 Nungesser gained the Military Meda 2 on Sept. 3, 1914, when he was Illus sar. His detachment had been sur rounded and NungesSer carried his of . ficer who was wounded, into shelter ,, Then with two infantrymen he at Il tackled a 40 horse power Mors moto 5 car containing four German officers y including a colonel. In the fight whic U ensued a shot from the car went righ '' through Nungesser's hat, but he sue

 The papers point out that Nungesse # has probably been wounded more time e than any other airman. as he has ] e wounds to his credit-London Chror l. icle.
