Rcdin, Vt 10 said, designed this model

to q great degree Of elegance and to
the tradition cult in the aesthetic. The

Of a doomed city, failed in 1871, the

since the same steadfastness, the
same refusal to despair of the rcpub-

it--illustrated both occasions.
Why're Rodin thought to commemo-
rate the spirit that redeemed the
shame OF defeat, he celebrated, un-
aware The spirit that gained victory.
He proved that the two spirits were
one. The world talks readily of the
spirit OF Verdun. 1t should reflect
that the spirit Of 1871 made Verdun
possible. 1t should give thanks for
the men of that other time who fell
at the Paris forts, and the women
killed in the houses and streets by
the bombardment, not that Paris
might be saved, a thing clearly i'm
possible, but that loyalty to country
might be saved then, and nation and
world saved by hat loyalty in an
other day.

They are on Antelope isl
and in Great Salt Lake, Utah, and it
is said that sixty permits have been
sold to individuals to kill these
animals.
They are nearly as wild as the great
trampling herds Of which they are
survivors. Protests have been received
by Utah officials from all over the
world against the proposed destruc-
ton of the bison.
The owners say that they want to
get rid OF the buffalo because they
kill and cripple many OF the bulls and
