and Frenchmen, no less than of Britons
and Americans, of the four years battle
which was fought out at Ypres and on
the Somme, chiefly by the troops of Great
Britain.
1t is very difficult to avoid the feeling
that the authorities have little apprecia-
ton of the meaning of simple symbols to
the mass of mankind.
Amiens Cathedral supplies an extraor-
binary illustration of British detachment
from the realm of sentiment. English
troops fought as stoutly and as success
fully as any to save this glorious church
from the fate of the Cloth Hall of Ypres
and the Cathedral of Reims. Yet, what
does the Englishman find on renewing
acquaintance with it? He sees tablets on
the walls to Canadian Dragons and
American Engineers who fell in defence
of the city. He stands before a side-cha-
pei, uplifted by the spectacle of Austria
liam, New Zealand and United States
flags, presented to the cathedral as
token of remembrance of the association of
the troops of those three nations with the
citizens of Amiens intheir time of trial.
The French flag, too, is there, and va
cant place has been left But when l
was there, there was no Union Jack to
complete the symbolism of the Great AL
lance. How an Engisman's heart would
have leapt up at the sight of the Flag in
a spot of such historic and hallowed
memories !-Ex.

HISTORICAL VANGUARDS OF THE
TURKISH NATION

The origin of the Ottoman Turks is OBJ
scured by the mists which overshadow
the past. But leaving the realm of tradi
ton and emerging into the clear light of
history, we find small band of nomads
under the leadership of one Solyman Shah
leaving their home in Khorassan and emf
grating into Armenia, then powerful
and prosperous nation. They were hos
pitably received and kindly cared for by
the Armenians, who then and there re-
ceived the serpent into their bosom which
has since stung them to death. Led on by
the wander-lust they left Armenia and
started down the Euphrates River toward
Syria. On the way Solyman Shah was
drowned in the Euphrates River and his
followers dispersed A small remnant I'M
der the leadership of Solyman's two sons,
Ertoghrul and Dunbar went westward to
find dwelling place in Asia Minor.
Their intention was to throw themselves
upon the hospitality of Ala-edin, the Sui
tan of Iconium. AS they approached the
city of Angora they beheld battle be-
tween a strong force and a much weaker
one. Not knowing who the combantants
were, nor the justice of the issue, Erto-
ghrul, "the right hearted man." formed
the resolution to espouse the cause of the
weaker side, and at the head of his four
hundred and forty warriors instantly
charged the stronger force and drove it
from the field of battle. 1t so happened
that the leader of the weaker side was
none other than Ala-eddin, to whose do
main they were journeying. In gratitude
for the effective aid lent him by Ertoghrul,
Ala-eddin bestowed upon him a rich
country at the western edge of his domain

ON HOLY GROUND IN FRANCE
AND BELGIUM

High up on the Somme battlefield there
stands a simple monument to the officers
and men of the 18th Division, who fell
in the desperate fighting eighteen times
renewed, for the possession of Trones
Wood, writes special correspondent of
the London Times.
There is a message for the battlefield
tourist on this plain white stone, march
ing, as it seems, at the head of a ghostly
column of bare tree-trunks From the
roadside one line of the inscription,
printed in holder lettering than the rest,
can alone be read, but memory can recall
no more Illuminating moment than that in
which these words were imprinted on the
mind
'The greatest thing in the world"
This sublime affirmation is the key to
the wonder of the great belt of devasta-
ton which stretches league upon league
from the North Sea to Verdun and the
Swiss frontier.
Who can remain unmoved as he drives
into Ypres by the Menin Gate and reads
the notice which the Burgomaster, M. Col

HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF
INTERESTING

just noticed sentence of seven words
in magazine short story which gives a
complete, perfect method for making one
self liked, for developing that attractive
ness in social intercourse which so many
desire and so comparatively few attain
says William E. Towne, in Nautilus.
Here is the sentence: "To be interesting
is to be Interestingly"
Do not pass this hastily by but consi-
der what it really implies. When per-
son is intensely interested in a subject,
they are apt to know great deal about
it that is interesting to others. They are
able to talk about it in a way that will
hold the attention of others.
The least interesting people in a social
way are those who are always worrying
over the idea that they are not popular
and liked If they have any real interests,
they are always afraid to express them.
They are so self conferred and self con-
scious that they think only about them
selves and hence never allow their con-
versation to be concentrated upon those
subjects with which they are familiar and
which might furnish common meeting
ground for conversation.
If you are more interested in yourself
and your own unpleasant feelings than
you are in outside matters, you will not
find people Aocking about you to seek
your society.
Forget yourself and become interested
in something that others are also interested
in. Concentrate your attention upon this
outside matter and you will soon forget
your unpleasant feeling of not being
popular.
All lack of popularity is due to some
form of self conferred selfshness some
mental inhibition upon normal self ex-
preston.
Conversation between two people ought
to mean an advancement in mutual I'M
Outstanding of each other 1t should
mean the conversion of ones thoughts and
ideas into such form as to render them
comprehensive to the other.
AS matter of fact, most conversation
is simply thinking out loud and the talker
is too self conferred to consider whether or
not he is presenting his thoughts in way
to reach the understanding and interest of
the other party.

OILS the marriage of first and second

A-The Levitical law did not prohibit
marriage between cousins. 1t prohibited
marriage between relations in the direct
line, that is, between brother and sister,
nephew and aunt and, by implication, I'M
Gle and niece. A son was also prohibited
from marrying his fathers wife. But in
the book of Genesis we read of Abraham
marrying his half-sister. By law of the
early Christian church marriage was pro-
hibited between persons of a nearer re-
lation than sixth cousins.

Reconstruction Is
Discussed At A
Columbia Meeting
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Columbia, S. c., March 9.-The pro-
blems of the reconstruction period are
being considered at statewide recon-
struction assembly attended by hun
dred and seventy-five prominent South
Carolinians here today. The morning
session was featured by addresses by
Governor Cooper on Educating the
Farmers Boys and Girls" G. Croft
Williams, secretary of the state board
of corrections, on the problems of the
reconstruction, Major Irving Beser, on
"the American Legion and reconstruc-
tion," and w. w. Long, of Clemson
