AN ACCOUNT OF THE PLACE WHERE GEN.
 PERSHING IS NOW
chaumont Is Historic Place and Dates Some of Its Houses from the Twelfth
 Century.

GENERAL HEADQUART E. R s, AMERICAN EXPEDITI o N AIRY FORCES, CHAUMONT, France, Jan. 3.-In such spare time as their du- ties permit many of the officers of the American Headquarters Staff have studied the interesting histori- cal relies of this little city. While not so old as some of it's neighbor- ing towns nevertheless Chaumont is fertile field of investigation.
 It was once the seat and strong hold of the Counts of Champagne. On the edge of a tree-clad precipice that commands a wide sweep of field and forest still stands the large Tour Hautefeuille, a relic of the castle of the Counts of Champagne. A massive square structure of ma- sorry, lichened and gray with age, it now forms one angle of of the more modern Palais de Justice and is in such good condition that it is hard to realize it dates from the 11th Century. Below it are the cells of the court house, and around it's base is a quaint walled garden shaded by ancient trees. This was once the castle garden, and from deep ravine stairway tunneled from the rock leads to the old tower.
 Many of Chaumont's houses date to the Twelfth Century, but next to tower Hautefeuille in interest is the Church of St. Jean. Crowd ed in between buildings on all sides this beautiful old edifice shows to less advantage than many newer churches and cathedrals, but few of them hold more of interest. It dates from the 18th, 18th and 18th Centuries and retains exqui- site monuments of each period.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Gilbert Chesterton, when some one
charged that we had tried Christianity and
found It did not work, retorted that
Christianity had never yet been tried. All
we have had so far has been heathenism,
more or less thinly venecred with
Christianity.
The same kind of an answer might be
made TO the critics OF Democracy.
We have never tried it. We have never
fully trusted it, We have never honestly
believed in it.
The very first thing our able forefathers
and founders of this Republic dld when
they launched Democracy in the Western
World was TO begin to hedge against IT.
They did not trust the People. Law
makers and statesmen the world over, and
even in America, have never trusted the
People, with some notable exceptions.
For instance, they constructed an elab-
crate Electoral College to choose Presi-
dent. which scheme the People soon
smashed.
And they tackled Senate Tin imita-
ton of the English House Of Lords) on to
our legislative body. The Senate was not
devised as an agency to do the will of the
People, it was intended to keep the People
from having their will. And it has served
admirably its purpose.
So while we pirate of Democracy we cling

some kind of Absolutism will save US.
