KITTEN THEIR COMFORT KIT
Small Creature Murderous Huns
Must Have Overlooked Brought
Tender Thoughts to Soldiers.

At Beuvardes, between Chateau.
Thierry and Scissors, l met about five
inches of gray kitten that could tell
much If it could speak.
This kitten was the "liaison" be-
tween the Germans who fed and the
Americans who dispossessed them 1t
was the only creature the Americans
saw alive when they marched singing
into the town after the Germans pol.
soned the wells. fired their ammunition
dumps and sullenly departed.
The kitten, when l first saw 1t, was
playing about In the sun at the thres-
hold of a ruined hut. The body of a
dead German sprawled at my feet. half
buried In splinters of timber. Chloride
of lime lay like drifted snow on his
chest, and in the clotted Wilderness
was his briar-wood pipe, which l twice
picked up and twice put down ere de-
Gliding not to take it. The bottom of
the door of the house showed jagged
rent, as though a rifie-butt had dashed
1t In, and II was besmeared with blood.
Inside the door was a mass Of
tousled straw where Boches had sta
bled. The house was dismantled. The
clothing Of women lay torn and scat
tered.
The kitten crawled between the top
Of my gas mask chung In the 'Alerte"
position beneath my chin), and the
brim Of my steel stetson" and purred
like a watchman's rattle. Its eyes
grew bland and yellow as lemon cam
dy behind Q shop window.

SABBATH DAY IN DISPUTE
Really No Definite information as to
When Its Observance Had Its
First Institution.

There is no definite information as
to when the observation of the first
day of the week was substituted by
the Christians for that of the sew
enth day, the ancient Jewish Sabbath.
1t undoubtedly arose among the
earlier practices of the Christian
church. and was regarded as the fittest
day to be held sacred, because In the
words of one of the fathers, sit is the
first day in which God changed dark
ness. and the same day, also. Jesus
Christ, our Savior, rose from the
dead" The several references In the
New Testament TO the Lords day.
and to the first day of the week"
will, of course, be borne In mind. Va
rious additional reasons taken from
the Old Testament were advanced by
others of the early fathers in sup
The first law, either ecclesiastical or
civil, by which the sabbatical observ-
ance of Sunday is known to have been
ordained Is an edict of Constantine,
A. d. 321, fOrbidding all work but
necessary husbandry on the already
venerable Sunday" In the Theodo-
sian code it is enjoined that ION Sun
day, rightfully designated by our an
cestors as the Lords day, all law
suits and public business shall cease
Since the ninth century Sunday has
been a thoroughly established insti-
tuition In Christian countries as day
Of rest and religious exercises. and
one exempt from any occupations of
purely secular character, except such
as were necessary.

LITTLE CHANGE IN BRITTANY
Land Of Romance Today Much the
Same as II Has Been Through
the Centuries.

Brittany since the early times Of
history has been the land OF romance,
saints and archbishops, knights and
ladies, hobgoblins and wizards, cru
saders and fairies. All of these
are with beautiful fmpartiality scat
tered through the antique records Of
PAmoriQue, as this region used to be
called. Even the tabled sunken city
Of Is and the lost continent of Atlantis
are supposed to lie off its coastsA First
cousins Of the Irish and the Welsh, the
inhabitants are by tradition, birth and
character race apart. silent, super
stitious and devout and obstinate. Fine
sailors and tillers Of the soil, the Bre-
tons have remained much as their
earlier ancestors were. Their ma
tive costumes prevail throughout all
villages and farmhouses. The men
In blue blouses and straw hats trim
med with long black velvet ribbons.
and longcloth waistcoats, embroidered
In bright colors. loaded with but
tons. sit beside many a wayside tav-
ern, and the white headdresses and
heavy black serge costumes Of the
women are the same In cut and quality
as in the days of the famous Queen
Anne Of Brittany.

Sea CaterpIllars.

The caterpillars you war against
when whitewashing your fruit trees
are not the only caterpillars. Cater
pillars populate the ocean In billions.
and grow into crabs If the Greenland
whale does not eat them first.
They are minute little things, about
the size Of salt grains. AS children
roll before they walk, so crab-cater-
pillars begin by literally looping the
loop from one spot to another.
Greenland whales like them on &C
count of their diminutive size. Hay-
ing no teeth and very small throats
the whales find them the most con
venient form Of diet. They with their
mouth open. squirt out the water. and
then swallow.

Morse Inventor Of the relearanh.

Samuel F. B. Morse, inventor of the
electric telegraph. was literary man
and an artist before he became one of
the worlds greatest inventors. He
was graduate Of Yale college and
had qualifications for authorship that
would have won success If he had
turned his attention IN that direction.
Then he took up art and studied under
the great Benjamin West, in England,
and painted portraits for few years
and was the first president of the
Academy Of Design In New York. But
he did not develop his true mission
until he took up electricity and In
vented the telegraph.

Harry C. White, the returned
YMCA secretary who was torpedoed
shell-shocked and gassed made very
telling impression upon Burlington
county during his three days sched-
ule. Thursday morning Mr.. White
spoke in the Bordentown high school
and Thursday afternoon in the
Moorestown high school. Friday Mr..
Whites schedule was as follows:
Mount Holly high school, Palmyra
high school, Burlington opera house
before the school children of the city
and in the evening second time at
Moorestown before an audience which
packed the high school auditorium.
Saturday evening Mr.. White spoke
before large audience at the Mount
Holly high school auditorium. One
of the, outstanding messages which
Mr.. White brings to the boys and
girls of high school age is their i'm
portant part in the great reconstruc-
ton period and to this end he makes
an earnest appeal for clean living and
that quality of life which has been
made possible by christian ideals.
Mr.. White tells how he came
through a gas attack, the only sur
vivor of IS men as follows: 81 called

Sunday evening, January IL, Secre-
tary Hendry gave an illustrated talk
on county work at the Easton Union
Sunday school. One of the definite
results of this talk is that plans are
under way for recognizing the Eas-
ton YMCA group under the leader
ship Of Elton Flickener. 1t is very
probable that arrangements will be
made 50 to have the Sunday school
room as place of meeting for the
group.
