The Colorado statesman., 1919-06-21

One of those treaties Intended to
settle forever the question of the
Near East" was signed at Paris In
1856, closing the Crimean war; the
slgnatories being on the one side Tur-
key, France. England and Sardinia
and on the other Russia.
About all that remains now in popu-
lar recollection regarding the Crimean
war is Bayard Taylor's "Song of the
Camp" and Tennyson's "Charge of the
Light Brigade" OF all the reputa-
tions made in that war that of Flor
ence Nightingale alone survives. Two
poems have outlasted all the treaties
and protocols to which the war gave
rise and the name of a nurse Is re-
membered while those of the generals
who provided her sick and wounded
are forgot.
Among the statesmen who conclud
ed the peace treaty the most bril-
liant and widely acclaimed was the
Russian, Count Nesselrode, whose
fame Is now perpetuated only by the
delectable pudding which bears his
name and which Paris cook invented
in his honor during the peace confer
ence. A curious incident of this war
was the entrance of Sardinia into a
conflict In which she was not the least
concerned and the only lasting result
of the war was the formation of the
Kingdom of Italy, which French arms
enabled Sardinia shortly after to es-
tablish in gratitude for Sandman aid

Began to Shake MAILED Fists"
The origin of the war was no less
singular than It's results 1t sprang
from a dispute between the Greek and
Latin churches over the custody OF
the holy places in and around Jerusa-
lem. The Greeks had gradually en-
croached upon the preserves of the
Latins. Napoleon III. in 1851 demand
ed of Turkey that the property of the
Latins be restored to them. The Gar
Nicholas threatened Turkey If she in
terfered. The czar and the emperor,
who hated each other personally, be-
gan to shake their mailed fists"
England suddenly realized that con-
fiict was impending between Russia
and France for paramount influence
in the East. The czar made advances
to England, saying that Turkey was
"the sick man of Europe" He pro-
posed Russian protectorate over the
princlpalities (Roumania) and the
erection on the Balkan peninsula of
Independent Christian states; Con-
stantinople to be neutralized, England
to seize Egypt, Cyprus and Crete. 1t
is interesting to compare these terms
with what afterward actually happened
and with what is now advocated with
regard to ConstantinOple. Diplomatic
pourparlers began. England tried to
avert war by inducing France to mod
ify her demands, but without success.
Early in 1853 Russia mobilized her
army and sent an ultimatum to Tur-
key demanding the maintenance of
the status quo regarding the holy
places and Russian protectorate over
the subjects of the sultan of the Greek
faith. To have granted the latter would
have deprived the. sultan of authority

First American Railroad.

Although Americas railroad history
is recorded as beginning when the
Baltimore & Ohio laid its first rails in
1928, pair of rusted strips Of iron
still visible in eastern Massachusetts
tell of a pioneer transportation line
whose Inauguration antedated that
event by two years. From the granite
queries of West Quincy the old road
ran four miles to tidewater on the
Neponset river, and carried granite for

HAD ''CONE WEST"
Pathetic Incident in Hospital
Bombarded by Huns.
Wounded Young French Infantry otfr
Ger Thought He was Going "Over
the Top" and In That Be-
lief Passed On.

The head nurse watched the stretch
er bearers clatter slowly and awkward
ly down the path and disappear in the
darkness bearing between them a ST.
lent, blanket-wrapped figure. Then
slowly and thoughtfully she turned and
entered the field hospital tent. The
pale little nurses aid, garbed in the
picturesque blue of the American Red
Cross, rose and came to meet her. In
subdued whispers, scarcely audible in
the big vacant stiffness of the tent,
she told the story of any changes
which had taken place in the condition
of the boys who lay so bravely silent
on the 90 tiny cots.
"Bartrand. that young infantry off,
GER in bed No. 8, with the bad chest
wound-he does not seem right" she
said softly. His lips are blue, and he
sleeps so much"
Bring your fash" replied the head
nurse, as she led the way over to the
dark corner, where, in a bed separated
|, from the rest, the young Bartrand lay,
apparently sleeping. Leaning over him
lightly, with mother touch she laid
her hand on his forehead. The boys
eyes opened, dazedly, and blinked in
the glare of the aids flashlight. Then,
as with an effort, he smiled.
Suddenly the tent flap nearest them
opened. The Scotch orderly entered,
reached quickly for the knob that gov
erned the big center tent light and
switched it off. Without a word the
aid covered her flash and sprang to
extinguish the desk light, while old
Macdun, the trusty, crept along the
tent wall behind the beds to be sure
that each window was tightly closed.
Overhead there gradually came into
hearing a steady, regularly interrupted
drone, like that of malignant insect
then fiash-a great roar, not very far
away-and the tent shook like n leaf
in the wind. At the first sound of the
raid Bartrand had started, sitting up
right in bed. The head nurse, helpless
in the intense darkness and fearing to
make him more restless by attempting
to put him down, held him in her arms.
Soon, says Modern Hospital, in relat-
ing the story, he began to call out or
ders, rapidly, precisely, like man who
was used to being obeyed, and then
still louder, with more spirit, until his
voice rang and reverberated through
the open spaces of the tent. "Atten-
ton - Allons, mes enfants = En-
avant !"
From somewhere in the darkness
the voice of the aid, a trife shaky,
said: HE thinks he's going over"
Another flash-another detOnation-
this time nearer. The head nurse felt
something warm and wet soaking the
front of her uniform. Then silence
1t seemed for ages. Finally Macdun,
flashing on the light called out:
They're gone, the beggars
He came over to the bed and gave
one look at the burden the head nurse
held in her arms. Then. taking off his
hat, he held it, folded, in front of his
coat
"You can lay him down, miss. I
think there's just work for me and the
stretcher bearers now. The puir lad
dies gone west"

The second coalition consisting or

Naples and Turkey began war with
France in 1893. Napoleon was IN

Meantime Moreau had penetrated into
the heart of Austria. On June ID he
won the battle of Hochstadt and on
December administered a hnal ana
crushing defeat to the Austrians at
Hohenlinden. Russia had entered

Prussia had remained neutral; only

BRITISH CLAMoRiNG FOR
 AMERICAN SHOES

LONDON-The American Chamhel of Commerce in London is pressing the British Board of Trade for an increas n the ration of shoes from the United States. which now remains limited ta o5 percent of the 1918 imports.
 The individual importers have tele- graphed W. II. McF.lvaine. President of the National Association of Boot and Shoe Manufacturers at Boston. urging that action he taken at Wash ington to obtain the removal of restric- tions in England, which were opera ting la gainst American Shoe Manufacturers. The American Chamber in London has supported their stand.
 1t has been pointed out to the Board of Trade that while the Boot and Shoe concession remains limited to D per cent of 1913, import, practically all the other major trades are enjoying at least q 50 percent concession. Fur thermorc. it is asserted, the British manufacturer is unable to supply ttc domestic trade with anything like tho quantity of shoes in demand. Bccaus" of this scarcity the consumer is bcin ; forced to pay a high price, which would be materially decreased by allowing increased imports.
