CHILD'S EVERYDAY EDUCATION

conceit which grew UP In the hearts Of
the people, namely, that when the Vir-
gia OF Albert fell Gas fall she must, In
the opinion of all who saw the statue)
the war would end in a victory for
France and her allies. But the wal
did not end, nor did the statue fall,
and the opposing armies settled down
to nearly four years of trench war
fare.
The Germans, who certainly never
miss a point in their efforts to under
mine their opponents morale, seized
on the legend. Varying it to suit their
purpose they spread the story far and
wide that when the statue fell France
would lose the war. Now, the town of
Albert possesses a most patriotic and
etficient parish priest. No sooner did
n HUI version Of the story reach
his ears than he sought out a skilled
blacksmith. The two assembled the
~half-ruined tower, surveyed the broken
base, and so braced and riveted the
statue to its recumbent position that
fall 1t could not until the tower Itself
gave way.
Hun Again In Albert.
So for many a day every British
Tommy who marched to the front
along the road to Bapaume raised his
wondering eyes to the Madonna high
above his head and few there were
of any denomination who failed to
find in its strange attitude a species
Of benign benediction. At last, during
those black days of last March and
April, the seemingly impossible hap
pened. The British line bent before
the fury Of a German assault, aided
as 1t was by long-continued fog, and
the Hun was once again in Albert.
When the. British retired the statue
was still intact, but, whether by ac-
cident or design is not yet known, the
Germans brought down the tower, and
with it fell the virgin and child. And
here comes the strange part of the
story, to which latest development
public attention is now directed for
the first time. Hardly q yard farther
did the German advance progress.
From that day onward the green
gray hordes were pressed back, slowly
at first, but with an ever-inereasing CO.
lerity which finally developed to a rout.
In a word the luck Of the Huns
deserted them when the Virgin of AL
bert was d%ethroned. From being the
%truculent conquerors of nearly all Eu-
rope they were forced to their knees
whining for mercy. The foregoing
facts cannot be gainsaid. Viewed in
retrospect they form one Of the most
curious and interesting episodes of
the greatest of all wars.
