NOT MATTER OF KNOWLEDGE
Person May Be Thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT With Facts, and Yet Re-
main Ignorant.

Some people think that ignorance Is
merely an accumulation of facts. But
that hypothesis reveals a lack of I'M
aglnutlon. Ignorance, any more than
knowledge, Is not concerned with
facts. 1t Is concerned quite largely
with feeling, and feeling is the prod
uct of ones general intelligence.
The Huns had plenty OF facts Mt
their disposal, but they were,ignorant.
Their feeling was not intelligently dis
trlbuted over certain areas OF their ma
tlonal consciousness.
This Is true, more or less, OF all OF
us, Thomas l.. Mason writes In the
Outlook. When we are truly ignorant,
II is n case OF arrested development In
certain directions. A man who has
not brought up n family may have Mt
his call all the statistics about fami-
lies. But he Is truly ignorant In the
sense of not being developed In the
feelings that intimate contact with
ones family produces.
TO have knowledge OF a particular
thing is simply to have come In CON
tact with IL in such n manner that
ones feeling has been aroused about
Il.
We acquire knowledge largely by
| contemplation and meditation. But
the thing we are learning about must
impose Itself upon us In such a way
that we are forced TO understand II
through our feelings and not our
minds.
There is nothing harder 10 overcome
than ignorance. II must be beaten to
a standstlll. We have done this TO the
Huns. We must now conclude oul
moral contract by bringing them into
contact with the rlght things.

Carriage Day and Motor Way.

A sight along Fifth avenue that used
TO draw Il crowd years ago was the
outdoor lesson OF the fashionable girls
boarding schools In how to get In and
out Of a carriage, says New York
Evening Post. II Yves before socialism
was rampant, but even then there
were murmurs OF dlsapproyal and
amusement from the social students
making up the crowd. The perform
ance was not without interest TO 9th

things In public away from home.

The disnantling of Helgoland, in &C
cordance with the decision reached by
the supreme war council ct Paris,
marks the passing of the greatest fort
ress in the North sea and the final
elimination of Germany as a contender
for sea power.
Since 1890. when Great Britain
coded this square mile Of crumbling
mari and sandstone cliffs TO Germany
for the protectorate Of Zanzibar and
With, the Germans have spent more
than 100000 a year IN terrifying II.
Available records show that Helgo-
land had a circumference Of 120 miles
In the year 800. but had crumbled
away at the rate Of 100 square miles
every century, until the Germans began
TO dream Of world conquest. Large
b~uttresses Of granite were put up to
protect the cliffs. Riffs and creyices
were filed with ferro concrete. Break
waters were constructed and a naval
harbor built and u and l6-inch Krupp
guns were Installed In steel and con-
crete classmates and sunken battery
positions.
The island was pierced with a tun-

mel through which ammunition and
other stores could be safely taken dur
ing a bombardment. During the var
sufficient stores and munitions were
maintained to Withstand a three
years siege by its garrison Of 200
men.
The North sea for a radius Of more
than twenty-five miles was mapped in
squares. each gun having its square or
squares upon which 1t could be trained
instantly should a hostile ship enter
that little space Of sea.
During the war Helgoland was fur
her protected by wide mine fields
stretching toward the possible ap
proaches Of Britain's grand feet.
Behind these sea barriers, Of which
Helgoland was the center, Germany
maintained naval, submarine, Zeppelin
and airplane bases for the four years
Of the war.

"ROOSEVElT LAND" IN ARCTIC
New Polar Discoveries Made by Bart
lett to Be Named for For
mer President.

New York.-The expedition which
Capt. Robert A. Bartlett will lead next
June to make an aerial survey of the
North pole will be known as the Roose-
welt memorial expedition, according to
an announcement by the Aero Club Of
America, which is financing the trip.
Any land discovered will be named
Roosevelt land"
officials of the club explained it was
fitting that this tribute should be paid
the former president, as it was he who
gave Rear Admiral Peary leave of abb
sence to head the expedition which dis
covered the pole, and Captain Bartlett
commanded Peary's ship, the Roose-
welt.
Club officials also emphasized the
fact that Colonel Roosevelt had been
