who warned London of impending
German air raids during the war and
who worked with Edith Cavell. the
martyred British nurse in aiding
British prisoners to escape from Bel

German submarines.
Air raids to England, the priest
learned, were usually preceded by a
dinner of the officers of the Zeppelins
and Gothas. BY pretending to be a
pastry cook, he discovered when the
dinners were to be held. Carrier pig
cons carried his messages to Holland,

ty would have word to the coming
raids.

DEFINITION OF A CLASSIC,

A classic is properly a book which
maintains itself by virtue of that hap
by coalescence of matter and style,
that innate and exquisite sympathy be-
tween the thought that gives life and
the form that consents to every mood
and OF grace and dignity. which can be
simple without being vulgar, elevated
without being distant. and which is
something neither ancient nor modern,
always new and incapable of growing
old.-Lowell.
