OF STATUE
ENDS HUN LUCK

London.-An the world knows the
story of the Madonna which was dis
lodged by German shell fire from its
perch on the tower of the parish
church at Albert during the first mac
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 pr~ecariously
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 vas steadily in
creasing her small but wonderful
army, and the Russians were advanc-
ing almost at a gallop through East
Prussia. In fact, there were optimists
who thought Germany would sue for
peace before Observation-Disclosures

On any available foundation. with box
es for seats or the little chairs which
each child may bring from home. The
materials already on hand for use by
the children in the home. such as balls.
bean bags, blocks, Mother Goose and
other story books. will serve the whole
group. The other mothers of the neigh
borhood are sure TO be willing to con-
tribute. for the use of all, materials
which their own children possess, and
each child can bring some OF his PEN
mics for the purchase of patsez. paste,
crayons. and so forth
Fortunately. when we built our si4-
room bungalow we provided a nursery
for u little ones. a large practical
room with fireplace and built-iD
shelves, so that u group found space
for all indoor activities there. ANY
room not needed for other purposes at
the time of the school session might
be used equally well.
AS a center for outdoor work and
play, we had a sandpile under the
trees. This had been left by the build
ers, and to close it in the children dug
trenches on four sides, into which we
inserted planks.
Baby Center of Attraction.
For pets we had goldfish, a mother
bunny with little ones, and our own
tiny baby Of three months. The baby
served as a center for many of our
doings; many times our songs e
sung to him, u houses Of blocks made
for him, our table constructed for him.
The children watched him grow
through the months and he was the
real handspring of our group life.
Since the group was made up of
children of varying ages, each younger
child depended on an older for leader
ship, assistance and consideration.
The acknowledgements learned to
lend a hand to the four-year-Olds and
to be patient and kind with the littlest
ones.
Having a neighborhood nursery
school has a tremendous advantage for
the busy mother who has difficulty In
finding time for uninterrupted work
and play with her own child. Children
will play ~contentedly together for long
hours, especially If they r provided
with a few materials to work with.
And as the hours of the nursery school
are known in the vicinity, the children
confne their visits more and more to
this time. The whole routine of house
work is accomplished more quickly and
in better spirits when at the same time
the mind is occupied with the learning
of stories, finger plays, songs, games,
and so forth, and on the planning Of
work for the children.
The nursery neighborhood school not
only affords the busy mother in the
ordinary home a means of giving the
right kind of training to her own child,
but it provides the opportunity for
knowing, in an intimate and unusually
happy relationship, the children who
are to be his playmates for a number
of years.

ARE Wild TO GET ASHORE
"When ! Get the United States Under

Said One Homesiek Sol
der.

New York.-To understand the feel
lngs 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 a 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 a faint "ee-yow!" comes
from one or two Threats, and then rip
pies along the deck, increasing in vol
ume and shrillness till it becomes a
wild whoop, reverberating across the
bay. A month ago it would have served
for a battle cry. Today it is a 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
p%laintive note, and you get its mean.
ing If you are n of those first civil
tans who board the transports as the
group on the United States cutter I'm
migrant do, scrambling up a ladder
while the boats are under way, for
the t%roopships lose no time in starting
their wheels at the signal from the
customs officers.
Does it feel good to get back? 2" you

On deck.
"GoodY" he repeats fervently.
