Then the son Of Tarzan skipped
across the room, slipped through the
! open window and slid to liberty BY way
Of the spout from an caves trough.
Mr.. Moore wriggled and struggled
about the bed. He was sure that he
should SURROGATE unless aid came
quickly. In his frenzy Of terror he
managed to roll of the bed.
The pain and shock Of the fall jolted
him back to something like sane con-
sideration Of his plight. Where before
he had been unable to think intelli-
/ gently because Of the hysterical fear
that had claimed him, he now lay
quietly searching for some means Of
escape from his dilemma.
The best that he could do was to at
tempt to attract attention from below |;
and SO, after many failures, he man
aged to work himself into position in
which he could tap the top Of his boot
against the floor. This he proceeded to
do at short intervals until, after what
seemed very long time, he was re-
warded by hearing footsteps ascending
the stairs, and presently knock upon
the door.
Mr.. Moore tapped vigorously with
his toe-he could not reply in any other
way. The knock was repeated after a
moments silence. Again Mr.. Moore
tapped. Would they never open the
door? Laboriously he rolled in the d.
rection of succor. If he could get his
back against the door he could then
tap upon its base, when surely he must
be heard.
The knocking was repeated little
louder, and finally q voice called, "Mr.
Jack !" z...-,.4.---.-~.s

Moore recognized the fellows voice

sci in an endeavor to scream "Come
in!" through the sitting gag. After q
moment the man knocked again, quite
loudly, and called the boys name. Re
ceiving no reply, he turned the knob,
and at the same instant a sudden recol-
lection filled the tutor anew with ter.
ror-he had himself locked the door
behind him when he had entered the
room!
He heard the servant try the dool
several times, and then depart. Upor
which Mr.. Moore swooned.
In the meantime Jack was enjoying
to the full the stolen pleasures Of tn,
music hall. He had reached that TEN

and the new bridge was more service
able than the old one.
There was plenty of going and COM
ing at Gray's ferry in the winter Of
Valley Forge, as a considerable por-
ton of H0we,,s army was "hutted," as
Maj. John Andre recorded in his diary,
along the Darby road for three miles.
When the British withdrew from Phil
adelphia, In June, IT'S, they destroyed
the feat bridges.
In April, 1889, the Gray's ferry float
bridge was decorated in honor of the
journey Of Washington to New York.
At the foot Of the hill, close by
CObb's creek, border stream of the
city, is the "Blue Bell" of Paschalville,
now happily saved and safe upon park
soil of the municipality. The original
bridge across the creek was built about
forty years before the Revolution. At
that time very old grist mill, which
had been built by the Swedish Gov
ernor Printz, stood beside the creek.
It Is said to have been the first mill
operated in Pennsylvania. In PENIS
time it was acquired by WILLIAM Cobb,
hence the name of the stream. The
wooden building, but the existing
structure antedates the Revolution, at
which time 1t was popular stage
house conducted by the Paschal fam
lily. Robert Morton, youth Of Phila-
delphia, wrote in his diary under date
of November, TIT:
"This evening Lord CORVALLIS with
$500 men marched over the bridge at
the middle ferry. With the intentions.
as supposed, to attack the fort at Red
Bank"
The next morning, while on their
march toward Darby, an American
picket, concealed in the Blue Bell,
fired upon the advance and killed two
grenadiers. Five of the Americans
were bayoneted in the tavern. ~
Great Patriots Worthy Life.
Patrick Henry retired from Office, q
popular man, but tired one, and went
to live on a new estate, called Leather
wood, consisting of 10000 acres. The
people were not willing that he should
live quiet life and elected him gov
ernor again in 1884, after which he
practiced law and won great renown
as criminal lawyer.
/! He died very peacefully at Red Hill
in 1888. taking great comfort in the
Christian religion, which throughout
his life had given him not only comfort
but courage and hope.

FRANCE APOLOGIES TO
 GERMANY.

While of course the action was perfectly right and proper, it really seems incongruous that France should apologize to Ger many for the comparatively in- significant incident of the dem onstration of ill-feeling display ed by the French mob last week towards the German Peace Del egates. Indeed, considering the frightful atrocities which the German hordes in France com mitted against the French people for more than foar years, the really remarkable thing is that the French people have, during all these months of negotiations, so carefully controlled their feel ings towards the Germans. Their long continued self re- straint in the matter constitutes a record of fairness and honor which will be in no way bedim- med by the recent unfortunate incident; it was merely one of those unavoidable accidents which sometimes occur in a great, highly civilized nation, but for which the people as a whole are no more responsible than the American people for it's occasional local eruption of violence.

THE PRESIDENT IN BEL.
 GUM.

There Is a dramatic fitness in the presidents s visit to Belgium at this time It was the inva- sion of Belgium by Germany that first caused the outbreak of indignation in this country a gainst Germany and definitely made us partisans of the allies. It was to Belgium that our sympathies went out from the first day of 1914. and there were many. including the late president Roosevelt, who be- lieved that we should at that time have joined in the coalition against Germany on behalf of King Albert's stricken Kingdom.
 We did the best we could short of actual participation in the war: we sent money and sup plies. In his speech before the Chamber of Deputies at Brus- Sels President Wilson expressed the indignation which nearly all Americans have felt at the violation of Belgium in 1914. in the following language:
 The enemy committed many outrages in the war, Gentlemen but the initial outrage was the fundamental outrage of all. They, with that insolent in difference, violated the sacred ness of treaties. They showed that they did not care for the honor of any pledge. They showed that they did not care

AMERICA TO EUROPE IN 16
 HOURS.

Inc greatest feat to which flying men have yet aspired has been accomplished: The Atlantic has been crossed at a single bound. Hereafter the glory of transatlantic racers will be limited to a mere reduc- ton of the speed record: the distinction of making the first nonstop air trip across the Atlantic belongs forever to the young British officer, Captain John Aleock, and Lieut.. Arthur ", Brown, who was his nav lgator. These daring birdmen reached Ireland safely after a continuous transatlantic flight of i6 hours and 12 minutes, during which period they shot rom Newfoundland to Ireland, a distance of 1880 miles at an average speed of more than two miles a minute.
 Nothing was heard from these alrmen from the time they left Newfoundland until their arrival in Ireland. Soon after they started their wireless apparatus was torn away by the wind and they were thrown entirely on their own resources to find their way across the trackless waste of water.

THE MENACE OF EASILY
 PRODUCED EXPLOSIVES.

An alarming situation has been revealed in connection with the disclosure of the case with which explosives may be procur- ed for unlawful as we'll as law ful purposes, as soon as the war ceased. Ii appears that the present laws regarding the matter are inadequate and that should be an immediate enact ment of stringent legislation on the subject. In view of the dan gerous situation revealed by the bomb outrages it would seem that no urging should be reuuir- ed to Induce Congress to act at once. The importance of this matter is further emphasized by the fact that there are at the present time greater quantities of explosives available in the United States than in any other

Lieut.. Johnson of Eberts field is gaining quite a reputation for himself in the way of nut fly ing. To us he appears to be taking awful chances for mighty little purpose. What is to be gained except a reputation as a dare devil. If these stunts were advancing aeronautics his vent uresome spirit would be very laudable.
 The transatlantic flight which have been and are being conducted ale not in the nature of mere stunts but for the pur- pose of= securing data necessary in connection with the proposed establishment of regular Ameriean-E n-European aerial mail, express and passenger see- vice.
 The fact that there is to be prompt action on the part of at least one country in the develop ment of air navigation is grat  flying. Of course it would be q far greater source of grat- ieeation if America, instead of Great Britain. were leading the way in this vastly important un- dertatfng We have the mate riais and financial resources in abundance We have thousands of trained airmea; and we have in this hemisphere a need, which k almost unlimited, for air transportation facilities. What Re seem to lack is vision and initiative.
 Perhaps Our people are wait ing fer the government to act. II so a serious mistake is being made, for our Federal Govern ment, as a business manager, is a lamentabIe failure. This is evident from the recent bungl- ing and eXtraVagantly expensive operations in connection with railroad and wire management, ship and airplane building etc. There is such a rank growth of red tape and politics throughout practically the entire Govern ment service that there is no room nor energy for the vigor- GUS, healthy development of real, worthwhile business enter prises. Consequently, if this big new field of industry is to be properly developed, the work must be undertaken by the prlVate business and financial interest, of the country and not the Government

 THE EX-KAISER'S $ TRIAL.
 It is not expected by the Allied Governments that they will justify the trisl of the eX- Kaiser on legal grounds. Sec retary Lansing has stated il as his opinion from the first that the ex-kaiser could not 6e tried on strict legal grounds unless specific charges were made a gainst him. It is reported that the members of the Council of the Great Powers are now inclin- ed to accept this view. bat hold that they are justified in estab- fishing a new precedent that may be invoked in the future against those high in position who are instrumental in start ing preyentable wars. This aspect of the matter is dealt  with in paragraph under the head of Penalties in the Coun- eil's Memorandum. The par agraph reads as follows:
 Also they think it not less necessary as a deterrent to others who at some later date may be tempted to follow their example. The present treaty is intended to mark Q departure from the traditions and prac- tiees of earlier settlements which have been singalarly in- adequate in preventing the re neWal of war. The allied and associated powers, indeed, con- sidered that the trial and punish ment of those proved most re- sronsihle for the crimes and ia- human war of aggression are in. separable from the establish ment of that reign of law among nations which it is the agreed object of the peace to set up
 The report then goes on to deal with the German objection to the ex-Kiser's trial by the allied powers instead of neutrals. To this objection the Allied Council makes the obvious reply that almost the whole world has banded itself together in order to bring to naught the German plan of conquest and dominion 1t would be i'm possible to find neutral judges in this case; during the war the world was divided between those who favored Germany and those who opposed her. And far the greater number adheared to the cause that won.
