Many Still Read Dickens.

Charles Dickens has been ruled out
by a class of the younger literary
critics as a decided back number, but
the statement by his British publishers
that during the past three years the
sale of his books has been almost dou-
bed seems to refute that idea. Some
OF Dickens novels sell more than 5O,-
GOO every year, and he has been dead
orty-eight years. His sales during the
last ten years have been larger, it Is
asserted. than those of any three nov
elists put together.

MALTA IN HISTORY

Beat Back the Turkish Hordes In
1565-Deservinq of Prom

''Perhaps no other by-product Of the
world war save the recovery OF Je-
rusalem stirs the Imagination so pro
foundly as the British announcement
of home rule for Malta" says bull
let1n of the National Geographic So
ciety, which explains:
'"The Malta island group is shrine

fame history. Calypso, vampire Of
Homers word motion pictures, res

stay on the island. st. Paul swan

and lodged him, and the apostle found
ed a Christian community before he
departed.
"The date of Christ's birth is but
the halfway point in Maltese chro-
nology. Since it's recorded history be-
gan ten nations have held sway over
the coveted islands, beginning with
the Phoenicians of Paul's time. and
running a scale of Greeks. Cartha-
Rinians, Romans, Goths. Arabs, Ger
mans, Spaniards and French, until the
present sovereignty of the British.
1T has been said that Malta's chron-
icle holds, In microcosm, the history
Of Europe, and that its archaeological
remains mark each step in western
civilization.
But Malta was an actor. as well as
a librarian Of historic drama. Liter
ally she became the savior of the
western world when the Knights Of
Malta beat back the Turkish hordes
during the famous siege Of 1865. The
alien knights, along with native NAL
tese, kept the blighted head Of Mos
lem from crushing the lands which
fostered those infant ideals Of free
dom which now are erected in Eng
lands concession.
1.-The thrills of that siege and the
heroism displayed are unsurpassed.
OF the 5000 Maltese who fought with
the knights, practically all were killed.
Characteristic of the knights valor
was LUdl VI LII NC1CuACAS u VIZ
st. Elmo. Wounded and desperate, the
few survivors Of months Of fighting
went to a small chapel within the fort,
embraced each other, received the
eucharist, and prepared to die. The
little company was cut of from all
assistance, but fought on. Many fell
with sword in hand.
"Fearing they would be exterminat-
ed before the assailants were beaten
back, Maltese was sent to swim
across the harbor by night to inform
the grand master of the danger. The
: messenger delivered his message to
Garcia by diving and swimming
mostly under water. Hold the fort, or
die fighting,' was the command he
brought back. Every man obeyed-
and died. But the CONSERVATION
wrought by their frenzied resistance
worked such havoc among the assail-
ants that the news of it spread to
other divisions Of the Turkish forces,
and turned the tide toward Maltese
victory.
I'm command Of the Turkish sen
forces was Dragut, who rose from
cabin boy and galley slave to be ad-
miral of the Turkish navy, and was
mortally wounded before Malta"

Capital develops into large units with
out violence to public sentiment or injury
to public interest-the same principle
should not be denied to labor. Collective
bargaining through the means Of repre-
sentatives selected by the employer and
employee respectively, will be helpful,
rather than harmful to the general in
terest. Besides. there is no ethical OBJ
lection that can be raised to it. We should
not, by law. abridge a mans right either
to labor or TO omit his employment. How.
ever, neither labor nor capital should at
any time or in any circumstances, take
action that would put in jeopardy the
public welfare. :
We need a definite and precise state
ment of policy as To what business men
and workingmen may do and may not do
