Belgian Lion to Face
Germany Instead
of Great Britain
By United Press.

pg OHlltu IICSS.
Brussels, June 1.-(By mail)--
American influence may result in
the turning around of the famous
Belgian lion which surmounts the
great mound of the battlefield of
Waterloo so that it will face toward
Germany instead of France; the lion
is now represented as defying
France. Twice every day large par
ties of American soldiers take the
y. M. G. A. sightseeing trip from
Brussels to Waterloo, and it was one
of these who first suggested that the
lion be turned. The idea caused so
much discussion that the guides be-
gan mentioning it to other parties,
simply as a matter of interest The
Americans have so generally favored
the idea that the Belgians are con
sidering it, and their attitude, too,
is favorable.
The building of the great mound
at Waterloo virtually destroyed the
original topography of the battle
field, as in scraping the earth for it
from the adjacent land the sunken
road and other unevennesses were
obliterated The mound, which is
two hundred feet him, now overlooks
a level field.

EDUCATOR

NEW MAN
Former College President Boosts
Superintendent of Chickasha
Schools; Points Out Work {
in Madill.

That T. T. Montgomery. newly
elected superintendent OF the Chick

of the ablest school men in the state
is revealed by an article by DR.. Chas.
S. Evans, in Harlow's Weekly.
In the article, DR.. Evans, former
superintendent of the Ardmore City
schools, afterwards president of the
Central State normal at Edmond and
later president of Henry Kendall col
lege at Tulsa. says:
"The educational circles of the
state were stirred to their depths the
other day when it was announced
that T. T. Montgomery of Madill
would take charge of the city schools
of Chickasha next year. There was
as much interest in Superintendent
Montgomery's leaving a place where
he had been for nine years as there
was over his entering a new filed

by struggling cottages whose main
underpinIing was hope. 1t was a
crossing of the Frisco railroad and
that is about all that brought it
fame. There was no high school
worth mentioning and only one little
shanty school building.
'The city system last year enrolled
almost 800, with a junior-senior high
school of 345. There we're 20 grad
yates in Madill's high school as Mont
gomery went away this spring which
is more than 1000 per cent of his
first class. Then there we're plenty

up among the best in the state in eff

Is to be congratulated on the long

Rev. Henry H. Hall was pronounced
not guilty Of the murder of his wife

night. Announcement of the verdict
was made at 1920 o'clock, precisely
ten and a half hours after the min

of IL men of York county.
Never was there a more dramatic
conclusion to a murder trial in this
state when the Wells pastor, on the
verge of collapse, heard the words
which set him free and proclaimed
him an innocent man. The spectators
broke into cheers and pandemonium

could suppress it.

smiles and words of encouragement
Hall stood as though in trance.
He did not hear the words from

When Prof. .Bakhmeteff, member
