Never Want to Look Statue OF
Liberty in the Face
Again.
ARE Wild TO GET ASHORE
sWhen | Get the United States Under
My Feet Pm Going to Stay There"
Said One Homesick Sol
dier.

New York.-To understand the feel
ings of the Americans boys released
from the war and pouring back into
the United States as fast as steamers
can bring them from Europe, one must
have known the pangs of acute home
sickness.
They are downright homesick.
You read it in the hungry eyes that
peer from the troopships when the gov
eminent revenue cutter with its little
handful of Americans in civilian
clothes runs alongside. From every
inch of space along the gunwale, from
yardarms and rigging, from the top
most pile of life RATS to the bottom
most portfolio, are yearning faces.
They know the coming of the cutter
is sign of deliverance after the trans
port at the threshold of home has been
detained at overnight quarantine off
Fort Hamilton. Now they will be able
to go on up the bay.
Faint "Ee-yow" Grows to Wild Yell.
At first faint "ee-yow !" comes
from one or two threats, and then rip
Piles along the deck, increasing in vol
ume and shrillness till it becomes q
wild WhoOp, reverberating across the
bay. A month ago it would have served
for battle cry Today it is shout
of boyish delight, of greeting for the
little cutter load Of civilians-the first
group of Americans the soldiers have
seen in months.
Somewhere in that shout there Is a
plaintive note, and you get its mean
ing if you are one of those first civil
ians who board the transports as the
group on the United States cutter I'M
migrant Go, scrambling up ladder
while the boats are under way, for
the troopships lose no time in starting
their wheels at the signal from the
customs officers.
docs it feel good to get back?" you
ask the first boy who grabs your hand
on deck.
"Good?" he repeats fervently.
"Gosh! Nothing ever felt so good in
the world. You can tell 'em all when

of the use of some substitute. Bicycle

The streets are as clean as ever and
with stores as beautiful, although filled
with articles the prices of which would
have been unbelievable four years
ago.
The suffering seems to fall heavily
on the poor people. Food now is more
plentiful because the signing of the
armistice brought out stocks which
have been held in reserve. The people

AS these troopships come through
the Narrows into the upper bay the
sun is rising like huge red ball above
the roofs of Brooklyn, silhouetting it's
spires and towering buildings and CLINT
ing across the ripping bay. Through
an avenue of bristling masts the trans

the North river till Fort Hamilton has
been blurred into the morning mist

Broadway stand out against the north

"Glad Pm an American"
And the homecoming soldiers, Off
GERS and men alike, lean against the
rail and drink in the beauty of it all
as if they never could get enough. An
old-time bark swings at anchor close
by, her four masts and square rigging
in picturesque contrast to the crazy
quilt camouflage of half dozen ocean
barges moored near her. Ferries load

scurry by, while their passengers wave
handkerchiefs and cheer the home
ward-bound soldiers.

FALL OF STATUE
ENDS HUN LUCK

London.-All the world knows the
story of the Madonna which was dis
lodged by German shell fire from it's
perch on the tower of the parish
church at Albert during the first mad
rush of the Huns through France In
1914. The statue did not fall, nor was
it greatly damaged, but the base was
so shattered that it hung precariously
over the main road from Amiens to
Bapaume, which passes under the
very walls of the beautiful old church.
For some reason, when the red tide of
war swept westward through Albert,
the Hun did not complete the destruc-
ton of the tower, and the statue still
maintained its strange poise after the
invaders had been rolled back at the
battle of the Marine.
Days of Great Hope.
Those were the days of great hope.
France was fighting with skill and de-
termination. Britain was steadily in
creasing her small but wonderful
army, and the Russians were advance
ing almost at gallop through East
Prussia. In fact, there were optimists
who thought Germany would sue for
peace before Observation-Disclosures,
1914! Some hint Of the trend of popu-
lar thought was given by the quaint
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1919-01-04

conceit which grew up in the hearts Of
the people, namely, that when the Vir-
gin 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 war
did not end, nor did the statue fall,
ard the opposing armies settled down
to nearly four years Of trench war;
fare.
The Germans, who certainly never
miss point in their efforts to under
mine their opponents morale, seized
on the legend. Varying 1t 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
efficient parish priest No sooner did
the Hun version of the story reach
his ears than he sought out 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 it could not until the tower itself
gave way.
Hun Again in Albert.
SO for many 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 it's 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 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-increasing ce-
lerity which finally developed to a rout.
In word the luck of the Huns
deserted them when the Virgin of AL
bert was dethroned. 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.

Get New Kidneys

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of tiltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
coloEed urine; loss of appetite; ,indges-
ton; Irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal Harlem Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store. and
if it does not give almost immediate
relief, your money viii be refunded. Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.

The manufacturer who makes
your shoes is working for you. The
store that sells you shoes is working
for you. SO your grocer and baker
and gas company and cIothier and
every person who makes or sells
anything that you buy.
Quite often these people have mes
sages for you. They want to te |
you about new goods or changes in
styles and prices or give you other
information.
# is not practical for them to
come and speak to you personally
because they have too many Gus
toners to serve. So they put their
messages in advertisements in yohr
daily newspaper.
1t is to your interest to read ad-
vertisements. They are published
for your benefit Advertisements
keep you informed as to what manu-
factufeTs and merchants are doing
for you. They help you to buy the
right goods at the night time and
make the most of your money.
You'll find that business concerns
which tell you frankly what they
are doing are most to be depended
upon. Stores that advertise are pro-
eressive stores that have something
really worth while to say to you.
Manufacturers who advertise their
goods have confidence in them; it
does not pay to advertise anything
that is not good.
Make habit of reading advertis-
ments. 1t is interesting as well as
profitable.
