End Of FIGHTING GaIlevs

In the sixteenth century European
civilization was menaced by the Turks.
Moslem pirates We're the peril of the
seas. of which they were fast gaining
control. This danger was averted and
destroyed by Don Juan, commander of
the Spanish fleet, and his allies, the
Italian squadrons and the Venetian
and Neapolitan fleets, at naval battle
with the Turks in the bay of Lepanta.
The capture of the enemy's flagship,
after the battle had ragged an hour
and half, gave Don Juan assurance
of victory, so he hoiSted the consecrat-
ed banner of the Holy league at the
mast Of the conquered galley, where
1t could be seen both by friend and
enemy. The result was as Don Juan
eXpected-e. IultatiOn on the part of
the Christians and depression and dis
enlargement on the part of the Turks.
After q heavy loss on both sides the
Turkish armada was destroyed and
Don Juan and his galley, the Reale.

mean. Civilization was saved and the
Reale became a ship Of destiny. But
at Lepanto was sung the swan song
Of the galley; henceforth the sailing

Approaching perpetual"

or course, there is still unsolved the
old riddle of perpetual motion, which
thousands of cranks have spent their
lives upon In the past. Scientists tell
us That there is no perpetual motion
known even to astronomy, SO that II
will never be discovered on earth The
world. they say, Is slowly checking It's
speed round the sun, and Its durnal
revolution, but so slowly as to be i'm.
perceptible within historic times. and
the sun they say Is dying fire which
will be extinct in few hundred billion
years. Yet the discovery Of radium,
with Its apparently inexhaustlble ener-
Ky, rather shook the scorn with which
the ideal of perpetual motion used to
be regarded, and IL a machine could
be constructed to 60 for twenty years,
on It's own as It were, It would be
perpetual enough for all ordinary
purposes

polsoNs IN COMMON SALT
Deadly Chemical Elements, When
United, Form Substance Beneficial
.. to All Animal Life.

When native of the savage tribes
of Africa happens to find piece Of
rock salt he considers himself most
fortunate. Often he will invite his
friends to party and serve this piece
Of salt as the refreshments. The
guests seat themselves in a circle and
take their turns at licking the choice
bit, passing it around in much the
same manner as the Indians pass
around their pipe of peace. Salt
seems to be necessary for most forms
Of animal life. Cattle will travel for
miles just to get taste of it.
Few persons realize when eating
this substance that it Is composed OF
two deadly pOisons. the metal sodium
and the gas chlorine. Sodium IS one
Of the most active metals, while chlOr-
inc is gas dangerous to breathe even
in small quantities. If piece of So
dunn is placed on water 1t will react
violently. For this reason it is al
ways kept under kerosene to keep 1t
from reacting with the moisture in the
air, and it is always handled with
tweeZcrs, as 1t will cause severe burn
allowed to touch the skin. eSpe-
c'aiiy if the hands are damp. The poi
S'hous nature Of chlorine is generally
known, as 1t was one of the first dead
y gases used by the Germans during
the world war.
When these two ch{mical elements
unite each loses its poisonous nature
ana the salt which is formed Is an
'h'lrely new substance, having none
Vi the properties of either sodium or
ehi"rlne. Nevertheless salt is CON-
posed of two deadly poisons, but chem
lc"'iv combined we eat 1t every day,
as II Is both harmless and necessary.

USES FOR HORNS IN CHINA
Pills and Marvellous Tonics Arc
Among the Many Things Manu-
featured From Them.

Water buffalo and OK horns in China
are worked into lanterns, some of
strikingly large size and quite trans
parent, says writer in the Boston
Evening Transcript. They also find
many other uses in China, including
the manufacture of combs, shoe horns
and backs of hair, tooth and other
brushes. Prior to the antiopium cam
paign the principal use made Of these
horns was in the manufacture of
opium cups or boxes for packing and
storing opium for home consumption.
Horn lanterns in China are made from
the hoofs as we'll as the horns Of ami
mails. Deer, reindeer and mountain
goat horns are valuable in China for
manufacture into medicine. Stag
horns are particularly valuable, but
useful only during a certain time of
the year. From the stag horns pills
are made that are reputed to have
marvellous tonic and rejuvenating
qualities. About million pounds Of
water buffalo and OK horns and q
thousand pairs Of deer horns were ex-
ported during 1917, the latter prob
ably for the medicinal use of Chinese
populations abroad. Ivory ware Is Pc
culiar to Canton. Tusks are imported
from Siam and carved with great skill
and dexterity by the ivory carvers Of
Canton, experts being few in number.
Canton is famous for its deliberately
carved ivory balls, one within another,
sometimes to the number of II, all
carved from without. There are about
forty ivory shops in Canton. There
are, however, only six expert carvers.
These work in their own homes and
make about $50 Canton currency
month Cat present exchange about $25
goldD, but usually much less.

REAL SECRET OF THE CZECH
Enthusiasm In Everything Is One Of
the Most Prominent Of His
Characteristics.

If you ask the Czech himself, he will
tell you that the secret Of his life Is
enthusiasm. He calls it love-love of
country, which lays down life without
question or stint; love Of beauty,
without which he considers life stupid,
neither to be lived through with Joy
nor departed from with dignity. In
this esthetic apprehension which we
call by the thin and unsatisfactory
word taste" the Czech Is like the
French-surely he must be likened
sooner or later to the French bear
Ing the mark of race old In living.
rich in tradition, discerning in it's up
precautions. He is, too, a lover of
love, worshipiDg women; a lover OF
life, more joyous than the Russian,
less light minded than the Gaul. A
lover not OF the form, but of the sub
stance. Life Is short; youth is short.
1t Is to laugh, to work, to weep, to
think, to love, to be aware Of that com
pick and everchanging stream of con-
eciousness. When Il Czech dies, some
now one feels that one may say of
him what may not be said Of every
man, He Is dead, but he has lived"
If you ask the American he will tell
you that the Czech's. secret Is '"Allied
ideals with Teuton training" 1t Is
his efficiency that endears him to the
American. especially If he is recuper-
ating from the Russian army.-Olive
Gilbreath in Harper's Magazine.

prepare for the spring of 1919 a to-
tai OF 100 American divisions. Mr..
Wilson had answered that he agreed
and II more divisions were necessary
they would be provided.
But meanwhile the American
troops had not been inactive. AS
early as May End American infantry
divisions were in battle with the First
French Army in the region of Mont
Older, three in the Vosges, where
they relieved French divisions, and
TWO in training. In June, two other
divisions were at the Marine. at
Chateau Thierry and Belleau Woods.
"here they took big part in the re-
sistance offered the enemy.
On July 18th five American divi-
sions participated in the victorious
counter-offensive Of the Tenth and
Sixth French Armies, and contribut-
ed largely to it's success.
AT the same time on July Gath
the First American Army was form
ed. It's task consisted of disengag-
ing the Paris-Nancy communication
by driving the enemy from ST. Mihiel.
On September 18th, of IA American
divisions. eight were in the first line
and six in the second line. They
took the st. Mihiel salient with 200
cannon and $1,000 prisoners.
few days later, on September
26Fh, IA American divisions were
engaged IN the great offensive be-
tween the Aisne and the Meuse across
the rough Argonne region. On the
second day Montfaucon was passed:
on October 14th Grand Pre- had been
taken; on the 21st Chatillon and
Bantheville; on November lst Blu
Fancy; on the 5th Beaumont, and
On the 7th the entire line of the
Meuse from Mouzon to Bazeiller was
in our power.
Furthermore, at the same time
two American divisions collaborated
with the Fifth French Army to-
ward Romine. Two others were with
the British Armies in the region of
ct. Quentin. Two more, in cooper
alton with the Fourth French ARMY.
took the formidable Orfeul position.
Then two American divisions parti-
clpated in the offensive of the Elan
ders group on the Lys and Escaut.
Finally six others were getting ready
with the French Army for the attack
OF November 14uh in Lorraine, when
The armistice of November 18th came
and disarmed us.
1t is thus that the American Army

the visit he made to the newborn
America. 1t is thus that it aided
powerfully in securing victory by an
armlstice which is virtually sur

Berlin, (By mail)-German univer-
sites are more crowded with stu
dents now than any time in history,
according to DR.. Reinold Seeberg,
president of the University Of Ber-
lin. The revolution has brought a
yearning for university training.
"Thousands of men who have been
four years in the war crave studies
especially in scientific subjects, which
are stable and a relief in this time
OF unrest President Seeberg said.
The most remarkable addition to
our student body comes from the
numbers of officers who have had
possibilities of military careers cut
off, and who are turning to law, med
icine and economics.
Most of the students fresh from
the war or army service have hard
time for the first two or three weeks
readjusting themselves. But after
that they recall their former training
and knowledge and go at their work
with enthusiasm.
Seeberg says the expected flockipg
of women to the universities has not
come Educators figured Germany
would gain enormously in women
students, due to the fact that almost
two million men fell during the war,
and there are just that many extra
women to choose careers other than
marriage. So far the women haven't
turned to education, though it is not
time yet to judge permanently.
There is a tendency for Germans

TO UNIVERSITIES

students to study law, medicine, po-
litical economics and modern sub
jects rather than science or art, says
President Seeberg. This is causing
the universities to revise their cur
riculums from classic subjects to
practical studies.
German universities hope the sys-
TEN of exchange professorships can
be revived, says DR.. Seeberg, who
adde's, but we are not in the posi-
tion to make the first step with the
world hostile to us. But we hope
the initiative will come from Ameri-
can universities, and that we can re-
establish friendly and normal rela-
tions.
THE university is an institution
that has suffered from the war less
than anything else-l mean, in the
light that it has to readiust and re-
find itself German universities were
strictly cultural and were non-politi-
cal. | hope this cultural and neutral
ity will be the means Of getting ma
tions together again on a friendly
basis. We must make conditions nor
NAL again.
Educational Germany is looking
for an American victory over the
world. We feel that Americans and
the Wilsonian principles are the only
means of preserving Europe from
militarism. 1t is a critical hour for
American ideals and for the world.
Germany does not trust France nor
England, but we do trust America,
and we hope she can lead Europe to
a peace of understanding

PARIS, May 31.-The German re-
sponse to the allied terms Of peace
carries with it no surprise for those
who have followed German maneuvers
in the last three weeks. In presenting
the Germans with the terms the allies
granted their enemies a period of two
weeks which was subsequently ex-
tended by one week, to discuss In de-
tail the various provisions. 1t was
not the intention Of the allies that the
Germans should be permitted to argue
as to the justice or injustice of the
terms, but merely to discuss the ma
chinery and method.
