Brussels, July S.-The city of hen

over the ruling of the American De-

the importation of live plants owing
TO danger of insect infection. IL Is
stated tina this will mean a yearly
loss of business amounting to two
million francs.
AS no shipments have been made
TO America for the last three years
it is felt that Americans have no
proof as to the existence of insect

No two interpreters appear to be able

SO broadly that exactly equivalent ex-

difficult to reach. In French it may
be an innocent exclamation, but In
English-speaking lands it may be fiat
blasphemy. The variance seems to
spring from the varying religious ex-
periences of France and England
after the Protestant reformation. In
medieval Europe the presence and &C
ton of God in the religious plays hab-
ituated the popu!ace to speak of him

Here are some Of the things that

in every possible way to lock the door
or get the broken key out. His ef-
forts were fruitless. All the help had
gone home and he had no one to send
for locksmith. He couldn't leave
the store alone. He was so excited
that for a long time he couldn't think
of anything to do. Finally he went to
the telephone and called up his home.

She couldn't make out what the trou-
BILE was, but caught "key," flock" and

flung on her street clothes any old
way and fastened downtown, half dis
tracted.
In the meantime the husband began
to telephone for locksmith! A sue
cession of won't answers" from the
telephone girl was all the satisfaction
he got. When his wife arrived he left
her in the store while he went out to
try his luck. He tramped around fox
an hour or more. but was as unsue-
cessful as he had been on the teae
phone.
When he got back he telephoned to
police headquarters and two police
men were sent to the store. He In
sisted that they remain outside to
watch the place. He suggested to his
wife that they go home, but she re-
fused. She wouldn't think of leaving
the place. even with the policemen out
side. So the jeweler was forced to
in the morning he went out to an all
night lunch room and brought back

morning to come, when he would be
able to get locksmith. But he had
forgotten that it was Sunday, and
when he started out again on his quest
it was only to meet with another dis
appointment. Despite all his efforts
! he couldn't connect with locksmith.
He and his wife passed Sunday in
the store. taking turns mapping. The
policemen on guard outside were re-

jeweler from his weary vigil. He

Will L|vEFOREvER
Glory Won by American Marines
Imperishable.
Famous prussian Guard Fled Before
% Them at Chateau Thierry as Sheep u
Before Wolves, and World
., .. Was Saved. ..

From Arbela to Argonne; from the
day when Alexander's phalanx bore
down the Persian lines to the day when
the American marines scattered the
best Of Germany like smoke, the i'm
perial guard of mighty soverelgnS has
been the keystone. the central fabric,
the very basis Of military power. De-
stroy the guard and the morale of ev-
cry royal army vanishes like mist be-
fore the sun.
Fierce was the fighting on Arbela's
plain. and vain the onsets of the Mace
domains until the Persian guard gave
way-and night saw the Persian en-
pire in the young invaders hands.
Spain's resistless infantry shook the
earth till the Spanish guard was mown
down by Condo at Rocroy.
At Austerlitz the Russian ranks held
fast till the cars gigantic guards were
cut through and scattered. And the
soldiers at Waterloo, outflanked, out
numbered, would not yield till the
guard gave back upon the fatal slope
Of Mont st. Jean. So went the story
through the ages-and the last chap
ter Of imperial guards and guardsmen's
glory is a fitting epllogue.
Down through the ravaged fields Of
France came the imperial guard Of
Prussia, and the wearied, wornout
men Of France gave ground in grim
despair. The guard was coming. The
guard was conquering. Paris in few
more hours, and victory--a Prussian
peace. won by Williams matchless
guards.
Then, across the wheat fields and
hills. came the American marines
young fighting devildogs from overseas.
What to them was the glory of the
guard? What cared they for the tall.
imposing figures. the uniforms, the ma
cbinelike advance of Williams incom-
parallels? The American marines went
into sheepfold-and the fate Of all
the world hung in the trembling bal
ance as the struggle ragged.
1--WE saw few black dots break
from the guard and struggle down the
hill; then dark blot on the hillside;
then the guard reeled and its whole
great mass came staggering down. All
Is lost-the guard recoils." So spoke
the historians who watched at Water
loo.
So 1t was at Chateau-Thierry. First
few gray dots broke from the far
side Of the wood then more and more;
then. panic stricken, Keeling, whipped,
the Prussian guard came madly out
and onward and away. The guard re-
coiled-the day was lost-Germany
was lost-the empire Of the world was
lost.
When the guard breaks. the doom
Of any king Is sealed. 1t was so three
thousand years ago. and what may be
the last tale Of the wreckage of an
Imperial guard Is but the final confir-
nation Of the old. old story. 49,. -
