Armor Again In Use.

An ancient calling is again very
much alive. The armorer is at work
turning out m for fighting men /;
and. in a most distinguished case, the
chief armorer Of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Fine Arts. New York, DAN
iel Tachaux. has been working for
modern warriors with the very ham,
mers and anvils that once were used In
armoring their medieval f~orerunners.
To be sure. armor nowadays is not so
cumbersome that when the wearer il
upset he has to lie fiat on his back
until somebody kindly stands him up
again but 1t has turned out that. for
practical purposes, modern design adds
nothing to the protective detail of the
separate pieces Of old-time armor.

GensaIogy of the Germans.-The
claim is made that the various Euro
pean nations have resulted from a
mixture of the original primitive in
habitants with the Teutons who over
ran them during the later migrations;
but that in Germany, on the other
hand, Teutons were merely mixed
with Teutons, and thus the race here
remained pure. In fact, however, skel-
etons and other remains show conclu-
sively that there was a race Of primi-
tive inhabitants in Germany as well,
going back as far as the diluvial Pc
riod. At the time Of the Cimric inva-
sion and later, when the stream Of the
Teutonic migrations burst upon them,
this population partly migrated, or at
least withdrew into the mountainous
regions, partly perished and partly
mingled with the newcomers. A prim-
tive population dwelt here as we'll as
in the other European countries at a
time when the rhinoceros and the ele-
phant still roamed through Europe.
Even as late as the twelfth and thir-
teenth centuries the French were the
more likely to be called Germans.-Dr.
G. F. Nicolai, in 1.-The Biology Of the
War"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-05-02

The Answer.-Our diplomats offer us
a project of league Of nations which
is not the society of nations such a.
was prescribed in the fourteen points
of President Wilson. The peoples o,
the entire world in their thirst for JUS.
tice acclaimed these fourteen points
and we accepted them. The French
working class, faithful to its concep-
ton Of a war on war, rises against the
sabotage of peace.
This expression Of opinion does not
come from the supporters Of President
Wilson in America. Nor is it the ema-
nation of any radical group in Europe
It is the formal pronouncement issued
in behalf Of the conservative labor ele-
ment in France when the jobbery OF
imperialists threatened to restore the
old spoils principle in the peace oon-
ference.
It is q sweeping answer to those
American editors who, because Of a
mixture Of neurotic sentimentalism and
a. hatred Of the president, have been
stupid enough to believe that the voice
of a few jingoes, imperialists and cor
rupt politicians is the voice Of the
French people.-Philadelph Evening
Ledger.

What Overwhelmed the Hun.-Not
the actual strength of the American
army in France, says a writer in Pow
er-Plant Engineering ,(Chicaso, March
~ though that could perhaps have
forced surrender of large numbers OF
German troops, but the preparation
under way which insured ovewhelm-
ing defeat of Germany in 1919 was the
cause of the sudden ending of the
war. He goes on:
"If the Germans had not known OF
the great stream Of shells, gas, tanks
and other munitions that was ready to
flow forward they might have fought
on through 1919, and the battles would
have cost the lives Of 100000 Ameri-
can soldiers. But we were making
more mustard gls than Great Britain
France, and Germany combined. Our
tank program called for one tank fol
every seventy-five foot of front; artil-
lery and shells were under way that
would have blown the German army
off the face of the earth. And they
knew it. So that, although we are
paying for a great mass of material
that never reached the front, it Is
really payment for the saving of 20O,-
900 lives of our boys, and wounds that
can never be estimated"
