IT,
Weapon Scattered Death
You will not find that il has artistic
lines or that il invokes the thought
of beauty. II is a German cannon,
used 10 scatter death among the cru
saders OF righteousness.
But what it lacks in beauty It gains
in tragic significance.
1T was an engine of destruction
and il will become an instrument OF
construction.
successive classes Of st. Johns
undergraduates will behold IL, and
beholding il, there will awake in them
the memory of the deeds encomposed
for the capture and silencing OF this
gun-because it is something that has
been died for and there attaches to
il an aura of heroic sacrifice.
Sadly our thoughts go wandering
back TO these
Lonely antagonists of destiny
That went down scornful before
many spears
But our soul is uplifted by their eX-
ample. and ii is because of such ex-
amples that the twenty-four sons OF
st. Johns looked upon death with
unlinching eyes and met their fate
with credit to themselves and TO their
country.
Before the creation by Napoleon
of the Cross of the Legion of Honor,
it was the practice to reward deeds
of valor by the gift of sword OF
honor or of 'musket of honor or
of some arm commemorative of the
exploit of the individual winning it.
In An "Arm of Honor"
This cannon, died for by the sol
diers of France, is an arm of honor,
presented to St. Johns in recognition
Of the sacrifice of these twenty-four
lives. 1t will speak, therefore, not

therein by France.
1.-The great Michelet speaking not
as a Frenchman, but as an unpreju-
diced historian, has written that If
the world were to lay pile on pile
what each nation has spent in blood,
or gold or efforts of every kind, for
disinterested things which would pro-
fit the world at large, the pyramid OF
France would go mountining into the
heavens
"She has given for others without
counting, and having nothing left has
said: i have no silver and no gold.
but that which l have | shall give,
and she gave her soul That which
makes the life of the world is the
breath of France Do not think that
for having given so much she is be-
reft. The more you give the more
you keep This tradition of fraternite
is what makes the history of France
the history of humanity.
These words of the great Niche
let were written long before the Lite
gigantic world war, but events have
proven that he had correctly appraised
the soul of his country.

TO MAKE A DEMAND
FOR COUNTY, WIDE
TELEPHONE SERVICE

The people OF Washington and
Frederick counties are determined 10
make a fight before the Public Service
Commission for the restoration OF
countrywide telephone service, when
the telephone rate hearing begins
Monday This was made plain 10
President a. f. Berry. OF the tele-
phone company. who has just return
ed from Hagerstown and Frederick,
where he had conferences with the
leading business men and officials OF
both counties.
The countrywide service was in eff
feet before the Government took con-
troll Of the wires. The order of the
Postmaster General abolished this
service and since the people OF the
two counties have been urging its
restoration.
Mr.. Berry went 10 Hagerstown and
Frederick for a series of talks on the
telephone situation with the people
there and he found they were much
more interested in the restoration OF
the old service than in the matter of
rates He explained that figures kept
by the telephone company showed
only about 10 per cent. OF the sub
scribers in each county called through
more than one exchange, and that the
remainder were paying for the main
tainence of the wider service, and
that if the service should be rees-
tablished by order of the commission
il would necessitate higher rates than
those in the schedule just offered.
This did not seem TO interest the
people of those two counties and they
told Mr.. Berry they intended TO make
the best fight they could for county
wide service.
Hagerstown has instructed City
Attorney A. r. Hagner TO appear be-
fore the commission and oppose in
creased rates and demand the county
wide service.

the same. because it is clearly evil

Discomfort

The United States was settled by
people who were disconnected and
who faced the privations of the will
derness in the belief that they were
going TO better themselves.
The Declaration of Independence
was signed by men who were discon-
tented.
The revolutionary war was fought
by people who were disconnected.
The Constitution of the United
States was framed and adopted by
men who were discontinued.
For centuries discomfort has been
rightly regarded as one of the chief
characteristics of the American peo-
pie. and IL is through discomfort that
they spread from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
Many of their manifestations of
discomfort have been foolish and flu
