Bishop Fails to
Keep His Lamps
Burning; is Fined

A TLANTA, May 28.-Bishop War
~ ren A. Gambler paid a fine in
the recorders court of Atlanta yes
terday for not keeping his lamps
burning. This is the literal truth.
1t was like this:
Mrs. Candler's car. parked in
front of a church during services
one night recently, was pounced
upon by the eagle eyed officers be-
cause the tail lamp was not burn
ing, according to the city ordl-
nances. A case was made and the
bishop appeared for his wife in
court, explaining that she had un-
derestimated the amount of fuel in
the lamp. 1t was burning when she
left it, but the fuel ran out before
the services were completed.
A nominal fine of $500 was as
sessed against the distinguished
clergyman, which he promptly
paid.

The examining officers at the pris-

but often the prisoners don't and that
leads to complications.
One inquisitor, who had just used his
best German vocabulary on an uncom-
pretending Hungarian, turned him
over TO a special questioner and took
on five strangely-clad and somewhat
bcwildered prisoners who, after a great
deal of shouting and arm waving, man
aged to convey the fact that they were
neither Germans nor Austrians nor
Hungarians o Slovaks. They were
Italians-five Italians taken prisoner
last fall and set to mending roads be-

slowly dawned on them what had hap
pened, and they wanted to kiss Gen
eral Pershing or somebody right away.

ARMENIANS LOYAL TO ALLIES
None Of the Conquered Peoples Have
Shown More Devotion to Cause
OF Liberty Than They.

II has been the Armenians who have
been most constant in their loyalty to
the allies. and eight months ago from
the city of Van, $50 of them went forth
to take up positions which had been
vacated by Russians.
After the Turks took ErZerum last
February they swept on against the
national armies of the Armenians and
G~eorgians through to Tabriz In north
western Persia. threatening the south
ern Caspian ports and wiping out all
Armenians they met, Maynard Owen
Williams writes In Asia Magazine.
They boosted that they would keep on
until they met the Russian army, then
nonexistent. The fight by the Armen-
ians and Georgians, lacking allied sup
port, became more hopeless. The
Georgians bravely declared their in
dependence last May; but hardly a
month later 80 Georgian and Armenian
delegates in Constantinople were ut
terly unable to do anything but ac-

Miracle in the Mediterranean.

In an article on the submarine war
fare in the Mediterranean contributed
to the November Century, Herman
Whitaker tells of a lad on one of the
American destroyers who had been
washed overheard in a black night
storm and was thought to be hope
lessly lost till a voice hailed the watch
from under the stern. He had caught
the logline, which trails for a couple
of hundred feet behind. and hauled
himself along it. Another escape was
still more marvellous. Washed over
board at night from one of the de-
stroyers, this particular lad was
heaved by a wave upon the deck Of
another vessel half a mile astern.
When he was restored to his own ship
at the end of the voyage, his captain
thus addressed him: young man.
you have used up all the luck you
will have In all your life. The navy
is no safe place for you. Take my ad-
vice; get out of it as soon as Uncle
Sam will let you"

FEW SHIPS ARE TOTAL LOSS
Vessels Sunk by Mines or Torpedoes
Patched, Raised and Taken to
Port for Repairs.

Any M who imagines that all the
vessels sunk by enemy U-boats or
mines are left at the bottom Of the
sea would be surprised If he could
be told the whole story of ingenuity,
esource and unremitting toll of the
British admiralty salvage corps.
Almost as soon as a vessel is sunk
salvage operations are commenced.
Divers are ent down to fake accurate
measurements of the size of the hole
made by the torpedo or mine. Small
holes are plugged with wood, but large
ones are patched with standards"
patches. These are made of 12-inch
wooden beams, and d patch sometimes
weighs as much as 20 tons.
As may be imagined, the size of the
hole varies greatly. In some cases 1t
has measured 40 feet long by 20 feet
wide, and in one case it has been
known to be 4S feet long by % feet
wide.
When the vessels have been plugged
and patched, their cargo removed and
the water pumped out of them they
proceed TO the nearest port where they
can be permanently repaired.
Several vessels have been torpedoed
after being relocated and have again
been successfully raised and taken
into port.

THREE NOTED FRENCH TOWNS
VIII Live In History as Having Given
Their Names to Articles Of Every
Day Commerce.

Three towns In northern France
have given their names to articles OF
everyday commerce-Cambrai. from
which "cambric" is derived; Arras. a
term applied to a certain kind OF
tapestry. and Valenciennes, noted for
its lace In olden times. Cambria. too.
is associated with the name of the
great French ecclesiastic and moralist,
Francois Fenelon, a statue Of whom
stood In the cathedral before the Ger
mans captured the town. Fenelon
wrote one of the most famous novels
of the eighteenth century: The Ad-
ventures of Telemachus," an account
of the son Of Ulysses. At Cambria was
concluded a very curious treaty, the
so-called Ladies' Peace" between
Louise of Savoy and Margaret Of Aus
tria, representing France and Austria.
respectively, in 1929. At Arras was
born the celebrated leader of the
French Revolution, Macmillan Robes
pierre, who organized the Reign of
Terror by which he himself was finally
to fall. Valenciennes no longer made
the beautiful lace which its name sug-
gests, but was a center for the manu-
facture of hosiery, trimmings, and
handkerchiefs. 1t was the birthplace
of two famous men-Watteau. whose
paintings are regarded as perhaps the
o characteristic products of French
art in the eighteenth century, and
Froissart, whose chronicles of the
wars of the Middle Ages are full Of
movement and color. Near by Is an
