ONE OF WARS GREAT DEEDS
Crossing of ST. Quentin Canal by Brit
ish Troops Conceded to Be
Remarkable Exploit.

Probably one of the most remark
able exploits of the war was the cross
ing of the st. Quentin canal by a
brigade of South Stafford and NOrth
Stafford (British) troops in the course
of the advance on Cambria. The
canal is landmark in the country
for miles around because of It's dimen-
sions, and just where the crossing was
effected the waterway runs for some
distance between very steep and high
banks covered in some parts by dense
low brushwOOd. That the crossing
was made by such large number Oh
men and so expeditiously is remark
able tribute to the determination of
the men and to the forcthOught OF their
commanders. It Is related that their
commanding officer had sent down to
a channel port and had had sent up to
the line for the occasion all the life
belts of one of the well-known cross
channel steamers. 1t was this measure
of precautiOn which was the means
of enabling many men to cross before
foot-hridges could be constructed and
which was the main contributing fac
tor in the success of the operation.

cases degradation so great that they
have virtually ceased to exist. We
have not only forgotten how to make
beautiful things, but we have even
acquired an instructive dislike of beau
tiful things. They seem to have be-
come offensive ia us.
There was recently one curious
little instance to which I am tempt
ed to refer, showing as II did, that In
our present state of degradation
beauty is not only ignored, but has
actually become offensive, causing In

ten and five-dOllar gold pieces were
undoubtedly the nobest coins produced
in any country in 200 years. Within
a couple of months the American pub
lie had howled them out of circulation.
"The explanation was afterward
made that the coins were disliked be-
cause the relief was inconveniently
high, but the original cutlery was
against the design and only the de-
sign of these exquisite examples OF
die cutting. But America has no mo-
nopoly of this instructive hatred or
beauty. It was exemplified IN the van
dalism that was common all over
Europe, the destruction of ancient and
glorious buildings, usually without
valid excuse"
