An amusing verbal war has arisen
over the propriety, meaning and ex-
tent of the French phrase "mon Dieu -
No two interpreters appear to be able
to agree. The phrase in English would
be my God !" but the shades of asso-
citation connected with the French
form and with the English form differ
so broadly that exactly equivalent ex-
pressions and usages of the phrase are
difficult to reach. In French it may
be an innocent exclamation, but in
English-speaking lands it may be fiat
blasphemy. The variance seems to
spring from the varying religious ex-
Periences Of France and England
after the Protestant reformation. In
medieval Europe the presence and ac-
tion of God in the religious plays hab-
ftuated the populace to speak of him
quite familiarly, and the sense OF rev.
erence for his name grew faint. In
England, however, on account Of the
influence of Puritanism and then of
Methodism, great reverence for his
name arose, and use of the term "my
God!" became distasteful to fine ma
lures. But mon Dieu!" somehow
sounds MISUNDERSTANDING Spokes-
man Review. IL

SOLDIERS Civil
SERVICE PRIVILEGES

Washington, ID. c., March In a
circular recently distributed by the
United States civil service commits
sion attentio mis- called to an execu-
tive order promulgated by the presi-
dent on July IS, 1918, which pro-
vides that "a person leaving the clas-
sified civil service to engage in the
military or naval service of the gov
ernment during the present war with
Germany and who has been honor
ably discharged, may be reinstated in
the civil service at any time within
vided that at the time of reinstate-
ment he has the required fitness to
perform the duties of the position to
which reinstatement is sought"
The civil service commission states
that in recognition of the services
rendered by civil service employees
who entered the military or naval
service during the present war, the
commission will make special effort
to assist these men in securing suit
able positions in the government
service rather than to leave upon
them the entire burden of finding
suitable vacancies.
A man who is eligible for rein
statement under the order may apply
TO any office or establishment of the
government under which he desires
reinstatement, but, if he prefers, he
amy request the civil service commits
sion or one of it's district secretaries
to enter his name upon reinstate-
ment list which will be brought to
the attention of appointing officers
when vacancie sare to be filled.

Friends of S. +. Lockbridge, former
state senator, aud James !. Nelson,
both of Greencastle, are telling story
regarding the strange actions of hogs
on their farms last summer. Mr.. Lock
bridge went to his farm west Of Green
castle and on arriving at field In
which were some fat hogs he saw
thV animals jumping into the air. He
investigated and found them after big,
yellow-striped grasshoppers.
The same story is told of Mr.. Nelson,
except that his hogs were so wild over
the grasshoppers that he had to re-
move them to another field where the
provender was not so plentiful, In or
der to prevent the hogs from running
off the fat faster than he could put 1t
on by heavy feeding.
The .grasshoppers were as large as
a mans thumb and were In such guam
titles that the hogs by exerting them
selves could catch enough to make
their efforts worth while."--Indian-

WHEN PEACE CAME
Oppressive Silence Followed tho
Great Crash.
Hard at First to Realize That tho
Carnage of Four Dreadful Years
Had Ended-Huns Defeated
but unrepentant.

| With silence like that which fol-
lows the mighty crash of great or
gan, the great war came suddenly to
an end. No longer do the weary SOL
diers at listening posts strain their
ears through long night watches; star
shells have ceased to burst and flame
over No Mans land; cannons have
cooled; machine guns utter no sound;
the exchange of all manner of deadly
missiles has stopped. At last peace,
which for four slow, dreadful years
has seemed afar off like mirage, has
come. The thousand and one activi-
ties of battle, intense to the last ounce
of possible human effort, are relaxed.
Ships now cross the ocean I'm safety;
smoke from thousands of ammunition
plants no longer darkens the sky;
tired workers return once more to
their homes armies are demobilizing;
reconstruction of devastated homes
and farms and factories is contem-
plated; the dreadful military debauch
has consumed itself; the world draws
a great sigh of exhaustion and relief ;
the conflict is ended.
In all history no message ever sped
so. gladly nor so fast as the few words
! flashed through the air, and under
oceans, and over land wires, until
around the whole world and to Its ut
termost accessible parts the news was
carried. What wonder that all civiliza-

most barbaric, that men shouted and
women wept; and little children wit
messed an event which threescore
| years and ten hence they viii relate to
other wide-eyed children. In our joy
| let us not forget those millions of fa-
and those mothers and wives and
sweethearts whose eyes were dry, be-
cause their hearts were bowed down
with n sorrow no victory can ever COM
pensate.
The Huns ceased only when physi-
| cally exhausted when their ammuni
tion was spent; when the war had
reached their own borders; when they
no longer possessed the ability to MUIR
der the defenseless, to gas the brave.
Their regret is that they failed, but
not one single word of penitence for
the harm they have done, the sorrow
| they have caused Instead they think
| only of their bellies and demand, not
supplicate, the food they have so wan
tonly destroyed for years; they whine
L lest the very cars they stole from
France and Belgium be returned to
their rightful owners. They have been
beaten In what was for nearly four
years an unequal struggle, but for any
word which has yet to come out Of
Germany they are the same unregen-
crate Huns who, casting aside all the
obligations of a civilized nation,
| marched into Belgium in August, 1914.

BUILDS GREAT PLANE
TO CROSS ATLANTIC
Caproni Has Almost Completed
Gigantic Airship to Be Called
White Eagle.

Gianni Caproni has almost finished
the gigantic airship In which he in
tends to fly from Italy to America. 1t
Is colossal tri-plane equipped with
FIVE motors of 1900 horse power each,
and a large cabin furnished with
everything to make the voyage COM
Portable for several passengers who
can be accommodated.
Caproni will call his new plane the
White Eagle. The name Is linked to
a strange prophecy published in Rome,
Italy, in 1916, which is attributed to an
English monk Of the seventeenth GEN.
tury. The prophecy asserted that in
the twentieth century there would be
great world war, started by the diabol-
ical cleverness of an emperor Of the
country of Martin Luther in alliance
with another emperor. both bearing on
their military uniforms and on their
national escutcheons two black eagles.
1t added that civilization would defeat
and throw out the barbarians, whose
empires would be divided into %
states.
1t is inferred that the White Eagle
is intended to typify the American
bird.
The poet w. Lewis has made the
event the subject Of poem which has
been set to music. The whole was
presented with beautiful allegorical
design to President Wilson when he
was in Milan. IT was as a result of
his admiration of the poem and
the design SO artistically suggestive
that Caproni decided on the name of
White Eagle for his new and gigantic
plane.
1t is asserted that the aviators who
will make the trip intend to follow the
route of Columbus across the sea.
They will fly from Italy to Cadiz,
thence to the Azores and from Azores
to the American coast, alighting in the
nighborhood of Washington.

PARIS GIRLS WANT
YANKEE HUSBANDS
Newspaper investigates and
Finds That Americans Are
Greatly Admired.

To get an American husband seems
to be the aim of more than 40 per cent
Of the Partisan young women. At all
events, that Is the result of an inquiry
conducted by L'Oeuvre, Paris daily
newspaper, which publishes a series of
letters setting forth the reasons that
have guided the writers to give pref
erence to Americans over their COM
patriots.
Those who would rather be married
to Frenchmen base their prediction
largely on patriotic grounds, but a
large percentage of young French
women confess to whole-hearted ad-
miration of the average Americans
breezy good humor and courtesy Of
manner toward the other sex. Several
French girls who have had an oppor-
tunity to observe American home life
appreciate the easy camaraderie be-
tween the sexes, and they come to the
conclusion that a good comrade must
make good husband.
Some fair writer's say that French
Romeos are given to talking overmuch
and are too fussy about their personal
appearance. The question as to
whether a man ought to shave or not
seems to agitate the French feminine
mind considerably, and the voting is
about equal between the smooth
shaven American and his French
brother with a mustacne.
One girl raises the curious objection
that Americans eat too much" while
another disapproves Of "the heavily
| framed American spectacles with the
huge round lenses which so many
Americans affect"

WILSON CALLS
IN DEMOCRATS

Washington, D. c., March l.
President Wilson has invited demo
cratic national committee members
to a luncheon at the White House
after which he will confer with them
on party matters.
The president does not plan to de-
liver any address to the committee
men, but simply to confer with them
informally about the general situa-
tion throughout the country. 1t is
Texpected, however, that plans will be
outlined for advocating support OF
the presidents league of nations by
a series of speeches throughout the
country while the president is in

WILL live FOREVER
Glory Won by American Marines
lmperishabIe.
Famous Prussian Guard Fled Before
Them at Chateau-Thierry as Sheep
Before Wolves, and World
Was Saved.

From Arbela to Argonne.; from the
day when Alexander's phalanx bore
down the Persian lines to the day when
the American marines scattered the
best of Germany like smoke. the i'm
perial guard of mighty sovereigns has
been the Keystone, the central fabric
the very basis of military power. De-
stroy the guard and the morale Of ev-
cry royal army vanishes like mist be-
fore the sun.
Fierce was the fighting on Arbela's
plain, and vain the onsets of the Mace
domains until the Persian guard gave
way-and night saw the Persian en-
pire in the young invaders hands.
Spain's resistless infantry shook the
earth till the Spanish guard was mown
down by Conde at Rocroy.
At Austerlitz the Russian ranks held
fast till the czar's gigantic guards were
cut through and scattered. And the
soldiers at Waterloo, outfianked, out
numbered, would not yield till the
guard gave back upon the fatal slope
of Mont st. Jean. So went the story
through the ages-and the last chap
ter of imperial guards and guardsmen's
glory. is fitting epilogue.
Down through the ravaged fields Of
France came the imperial guard of
Prussia, and the wearied, wornout
men of France gave ground in grim
despair. The guard was coming. The
guard was conquering. Paris in few
more hours, and victory--a Prussian
peace, won by Williams matchless
guards
Then, across the wheat fields and
hills, came the American marines
young fighting devildogs from overseas.
What to them was the glory of the
guard? What cared they for the tall,
imposing figures, the uniforms, the ma
cbinelike advance of Williams incom-
parallels? The American marines went
into a sheepfold-and the fate of all
the world hung in the trembling bal
ance as the struggle ragged
I'VE saw few black dots break
from the guard and struggle down the
hill then a dark blot on the hillside !;
then the guard reeled and IFS whole
great mass came staggering down. All
is lost-the guard recoils." So spoke
the historians who watched at Water
loo.
So 1t was at Chateau-Thierry. First
few gray dots broke from the far
side OF the wood; then more and more !;
then, panic stricken, reeling, whipped,
the Prussian guard came madly out
and onward and away. The guard re.
coiled-the day was lost--Germany
was lost--the empire of the world was
lost
When the guard breaks, the doom
OF any king is sealed 1t was so three
thousand years ago, and what may be
the last tale Of the wreckage of an
Imperial guard is but the final confir-
nation of the old, old story.

WAR WON, BIT NOT ENDED
Gronna Says Readjustment Days
Need Aid of Every Citizen.

Statement by United Statess Senator
AISLE j. Gronna, of North Dakota
THE war has been won, but has not
ended. The days Of readjustment will
demand the cooperation and intelli-
gent aid Of every loyal American citi-
zen. Money must be raised to defray
war bills which will worry the guar.
dians OF the nations financial destiny
for some time to come.
Patriotic, constructive aid can be
rendered the Government now by even
the smallest wage Garner, and in such
a manner as to make his, patriotic ef.
fort boomerang of good fortune. The
Government is urging American citi.
zens to continue the purchase OF War
Savings and Thrift Stamps and other
Government securities, to help raise
money to defray expenses which at
present are even heavier than those
which arose while the war was on. Our
financial stability must be maintained,
our credit must remain unimpaired.
II heartily approve of the Govern
ment's plan to spread the gospel OF
thrift In every home throughout the
land. The purchase of War Savings
and Thrift Stamps is practical man.
Hesitation OF thrift. The likeness of
Benjamin Franklin which appears up
on the new issue is indeed significant,
and homage should be paid to him by
every citizen by investing in Govern
ment securities, thereby laying the
foundation for the national, spirit of
thrift which I believe the war has in.

the British for the coordination Of the
efforts Of trawlers and submarines has
Just been divulged. A trawler would
drag submarine by cable and main
tain communication with It by tele-

German U-boat the British submarine
would slip It's cable and attack the
German boat before the surprised Ger

give fight.
