that there were 800 automobiles there

for an outing and people drove there
from all sections of the county. There

number of early pioneers of the coun-

facts in connection with the settle

Among those who addressed the
gathering were Jasper Bell, known for
years as The Tall Sycamore Of the

dinner and in various groups which
gathered at different spots over the

every respect.
The movement to make this site a
state park was given good impetus
and there is little doubt but that the

1 had his first and only sight of the Ger
 man emperor.
 He was of only average stature. distinguished looking, tanned from ex- posture in the field, and with rather tired expression which seemed to be emphasized by the fact that his mus tache was dropping instead of upturn- | ed. His hair was on the verge of white ness, and his withered arm, which rest ed on his sword. was very noticeable
 50 this was the most hated man in the world; this man of average size, who, had he been wearing a civ ilian suit and walking down Broad way, might have passed for an Ameri- can of the middle class. l wondered at the time whether he believed in his heart that the German cause was as secure as he had believed in 1914. and whether he thought that when the present war was over he would rule in glory the Pan-German empire?"
 The kaiser inspected the hospital, talked to the prisoners and to the Englishmen; he spoke excellent Eng fish. He appeared to be thoroughly familiar with the exploits of various British regiments, where they had broken the German lines and finally commented on the cleanliness of the English wards.
 Little news was to be had by the prisoners at Mont Notre Dame. Rumor had to suffice. In one way, however, the progress of the battle could be guaged-the observation balloons. For days these sky sentinels moved south and west-toward Paris. Then came day when rumor credited the Ger mans with deIeat The balloons start cd north and east again. The Ameri- cans had stopped the advance at Chat eau Thierry. It was the beginning of the end.
 A good idea of the German regard for agreements is given by the author. Under the Geneva convention, artil- lery was not to be placed near hos pitals. Under the plea of necessary. however, the Germans located a bat tery at one side of the hospital and this attracted considerable gunfire from the allies. Anti-aircraft guns were also placed in the hospital yard. Ambulance drivers. hospital attaches. nurses and surgeons were supposed to have been exempt from the treatment accorded the combatent prisoner. These provisions, Ellinwood shows. were entirely overlooked.
 After what seemed to the author an intermiGable wait, the order reached the hospital to evacuate. With sev- eral hundred prisoners, the Bisbee man trudged to Laon. In a chapter dealing with this part of his experiences. is found many references to the condi- tion of the country, which hau .een occupied by the Germans since Sep tember 1914, to the treatment accord ed prisoners while on the march and

AMERICANS PREACH DRY
DOCTRINE TO JAMAICANS

Kingston. Jamaica, Aug. 21.-
American prohibitionists, aided by a
good many like-intentioned persons in
this island, are maintaining a strong
and well sustained campaign to make
Jamaica dry.
Rev. +. II. Curtis of Ohio, has just
concluded a four months whirlwind
fight for prohibition; and on leaving.
gives it as his opinion that in ten
years the sale of drink will be reduced
to practically nil in this colony. He
did not mince words at his last lee
ture in telling the men of the middle
and upper classes here how disguised
he was at the general low standard of
he had found amongst them.
Governor Probyn is in favor of re-
stricted liquor selling, and there are
many people in the island who are>dry
advocates. But there is plenty of
money invested in the liquor industry.
and they are preparing plans for a
fight to the finish.

honest belief Mr.. Mays will never
pitch again. From what l have learn
ed he is greatly affected and may new
