HOW HE EARNED HIS CROSS
American Soldier Of Chinese Parent
age Talks ModestIy Of Deed
Of Great Bravery.

Corporal Sing Kee, color sergeant
of the Three Hundred and Sixth In
fantry of the Seventy-seventh division,
holds, one may fairly believe, the dis
tinctlon of being the only American
soldier Of Chinese descent who ever
won a Croix de Guerre IN France. The
corporal is a modest warrior, not To-
quaclous In the tongue Of his fellow
soldiers and when asked by a reporter
to tell how he won his cross he re-
piled, "What did do2 did, that's
ALL" Others, however, are more ex-
pliclt, and what Corporal Sing Kee
really did was to carry messages
through gas and shell fire. He was
one of the twenty runners between
commanders Of advanced battallons at
Mont Notre Dame, and at the end of
the second day the corporal was the
only one still remaining in action. Late
In the afternoon he was gassed by the
enemy, but managed to reach his desti-
nation. After that came the Croix de
Guerre, hOnorably earned by the Amer
lean soldier OF Chinese parentage who
Just did, that's all."-Christian Sci

MADE BY FRENCH SCULPTOR
Interesting to Recall That Houdon
Crossed the Ocean to Model
Bust Of Washington.

Historical "reminiscences, awakened
by present relations between France
and the United States, recalls that
in the early days Of the American re-
public French artists made the first
sculptural representations Of Amer
lean men and events. America had
portrait painters, as witness the sur
vlving portraits Of Washington, but
no "statuaries," as sculptors were
then called, of equal merit. The med
ais concentrating the American
Revolution were struck chiefly in
France, and Houdon crossed the ocean
TO model the bust Of Washington nee
essary for his statue Of the American
general and president. 1t was grave
question whether the sculptor should
clothe the general in modern costume
or dress him, after the art fashion
OF the time, in the classic garb Of n
Roman, and, as the story comes down,
Il took the combined opinions Of Wash
ington Jefferson and Franklin to Sc
cure statue OF the Father Of his
Country In his own proper garments.

RIrd Builds Several Nests.

Some birds get very nervous and be-
come much excited 1t you approach
their nests and among them Is the
blnck-throated green warbler, says the
American Forestry association Of
Washington, which Is conducting the
national blrd-hOuse building contest
for school children. Another thing
about this bird is that It frequently
builds several nests. Whether this is
because It changed Its mind after
building the first one and decided to
select better location or with the
deliberate purpose Of decelylng any
intruders who might come along Is
not known. The bird is very beau
tifully colored the top Of Its head and
the region nearly down to the shout
ders being q yellow green, the back
olive green, the throat and breast jet
black and the under parts white with
some yellow In them at times.

FATE OF THE RED TERROR
eolshevlsm VIII Most Probably Go the
Way That Was Travelled by
French Revolution.

1t is n ten.to.one shot that Russian
bolshevism will blow up and blow out
as suddenly as French terrorism van
lshed century and quarter ago,
Up to date the Russian revolution
travels precisely the old track laid
down by the French revolution, writes
"Glrard" In the Philadelphia Press.
First MIrabeau and his solid type Of
revolutionists started the thing and
put the skids under King Louis.
Then along came such blood-letting
terrorlsts as Danton, Murat and
Robespierre, with their merclless gull
lotine working day and night behead-
Ing kings and queens and mobiles.
Then appeared the master, Napo-
leon, who quickly made France one
Of the best ordered, best organized
and most prosperous lands on earth.
Russla's Mlrabeau phase passed with
the peaceful and practically bloodess
dethroning of the czar. Then fol-
lowed the terrorlsts, Lenlne and Trot-
zky.
France's reign Of terror lasted only
a couple Of years.
It does not seem possible that
among Russla's 1s0.000,O00 people
there is not Bonaparte to catch the
wild horses and put bride on them.
After 1t was over 1t seemed an in
credibly easy thing to turn out King
Louis and Gar Nicholas.
1t will be Just as easy for Russia
to upset her present masters as to
unseat the Romanoffs.
1t is a poor sort Of revolution that
can't revolve all the way round and
keep the heels Of both the czar and
the bolshevikI off our neck.

EARLY Proaress Of Industry.

Prior to 1895 the progress made in
the development Of the automobile
can be summed up as follows: In gem
eral style the body was park
phaeton, n ponderous complicated
c0ntrivance, which would crush the
pnvements as II passed over them. The
gasoline was stored In large tank
In front. The motor and controlling
apparatus were placed beneath the
bed Of the vehicle. Excessive weight
md complicated machinery helped in
great measure to make It an utter
failure. One weak spot after another
developed The axles became heated,
then the gears got out Of order. The
noise Of the explosion Of the gasoline
was suggestive Of railroad locomo-
tive.-CheyrOlet Bulletin.

A CHURCH VIEW

The two moulders of public opinion in the
United States, the press and the pulpit, have
both given altogether too much time and space
to denouncing it's suppression, and too little
time to the causes of bolshevisr1. This has led
many of the exploited masses to think and say
that both pulpit and press are plutocratic in
situations sold out to predatory interests. This
charge is all too true Of some preachers and
some papers.
The church must live up to the first plank
in the social creed Of the churches: Equal
right and complete justice for all men in all sta
tions of life" The advance of democracy is
fastening the coming of the kingdom of God.
When democracy obtains in industry, boshe-
vism will be dead. Nothing else will kill it.
