hold them now rather than surrender them at loss.
In purchasing the bond the buyer tacy agreed let

Memorial War Bridge

The Chateau Thierry bridge, destroyed by war;
will be replaced in few months by another bridge
which will, the time, constitute memorial
memorial bridge presented to France by the United
States. The idea of this magnificent and original
bridge comes from Mrs. Dixie and Miss Anne Morgan,
president and vice president of the American committee
for the devasted regions of France who have already
given so many proofs of devotion the FrancoAmer
lean entente and who have already actually collected
the funds for the execution of this project.
In order to commemorate the united effort of the
Americans and French, thanks to which the road to
Paris was barred the Germans, the BRIDGE with
its buldings-an ensemble of monuments of glory and
remembrance-will be built over the Marine at Cha
teau Thierry facing the City Hall, on the ground
which was so valorousy defended by the Third Di-
vision.
The adopted plan drawn by Partisan archl-
tect Charles Letrosne. On the south bank of the
Marne square has been planned which will provide
access to the bridge and give scope for its decoration
composition. The new buildings in connection with
the bridge will be treated simply possible, their
design of regional character In of the groups
will be hotel. At the entrance of the bridge, two
monuments as double memorial will be erected, one
to the French army the othter to the American army
The faces of the monuments viewed from the square
will bear only the letters "U. 81 and r. F"
on the other, surrounded by laurel wreaths on the
river side they will have figures in high relief repre-
senting French and American soldiers.
The old bridge had three arches, but this construc
ton having been recognized as obstruction to nav
CATION, single steel span has been decided upon.
On the north bank mosaic inscription ("3 On
Americaine. La Marne 1018"), in colored gran
lite on the background of gray pavement will form
of carpet the passage Of the Third Division toward
victory.
Recently symbolic ceremony took place at Cha
teau Therry in connection with the placing of the first
stone of this monumental ensemble-Exchange.

Opportunity

John ]. Ingalls, wrote beautiful poem on "Op-
portunity" That is, the workmanship was beautiful
But his premise wrong He said that Opportunity
came once to every man and only once.
Walter Malone answered it with another poem
not excellent in the poets craftsmanship perhaps
but a great and valuable truth in rhyme He wrote
of Opportunity:

And bid you wake, and rise to fight and VIM
Senator Ingalls, sacrificed fact to poesy. Mr. Malone
didnot.
Opportunity" comes to every man. But few
understand what it is. They believe that Oppor-
tunity is luck fortune handed to them without eff
fort, great achievement made without thought and
study and work.
There is such thing Opportunity. And it
you and every other man. But it does not
come ready-made, like pair of shoes. Rather, it is
the hides, the threads, the lnng-In other words
you must make your own Opportunity.
1t is not an impossible task Opportunity consists
of brains and hands-your own brains and your own
hands,

have advanced the worlds civilization whether in art

to write that

And people have said that they were among the
lucky that opportunity suddenly came to them.
1t is said that a genius is but one who has the
capacity for taking infinite pains.
Opportunity comes to every man who has the ca
