Berlin. Aug. 4.-Saxonys three
day Soviet has gone out Of busi-
ness and the Berlin government IS
in control again in Zittau, which for
the moment threatened to embrotl
the entire region in a Bolshevist
secessionist movement.
Zittau, like a good many other in
dustrisI centers throughout Ger
many today nourished the ambition
to become the igniting spark which
would set all Germany aname with
Bolshevism. Like a number Of
other attempts, it failed.
The explanation Of this failure as
we'll as that of other spasmodic
ventures into Sovietism may be
sought in Berlin, where the supreme
command of the Communist party
holds forth.
Red Plans UnrIpe.
There have been several distinct
declaration from Red headquarters
to the effect that the country still
is unripe for Soyietism, and in an
oficial proclamation recently the
party organization declared it will
work for Socialist government as a
Transitional stage and abandon
preparation for violent overthrow of
the existing system.
Tho iScrlin communists warned
against the Zittau uprising because
1t seemed obvious to them that local
SOvirts would be insufficiently
armed against the government
troops to accomplish anything.

The highest glory that a writer can

Englishman" In the continental edition
of the London Daily Mail. he lives
not in a tomb, but in his books. Ever
since Horace boasted that he had built
his own monument, more lasting than
brass, his successors have proudly
echoed the boast. 1t is indeed by q
strange irony that the written word
outlasts all the other manifestations
of human ingenuity. The cities of an
Client Greece have perished utterly.
The few fragments which the industry
and ingenuity of archaeologists recov-
er from time to time give US but a
poor glimpse of the glory that was
Greece. The once famous painters of
old are today but names. Even the
masterpieces of sculpture, an art
which does not always fight losing
battle with time, come down to US In
fragments. But Homer has survived
whole and untouched. We know not
where he was born-many cities claim
his birth. We know not where he was
buried. And what matters our igno-

IRIS CLAIMS FAME
BIazoned on the Banners Of Great
Nations.
"Lilies" Of France and Of FIorenes
Really Copied From Far Humber
Japanese Flower.

Every schoolboy who has detained
the ringing lines of ''The Battle OF
Ivry" has learned to associate the
lilies of France. no less than the white
plume of her hero king. with history
in its most stirring aspect. Not every
school girl who follows with pride and
sympathy the career of Joan OF Arc,
the young French peasant girl ana
saint, may know, however, that they
are associated even more closely with
the 'lily maid" of France; since, when
the king ennobled her, the title he, con-
ferred-needless, but aptly chosen
made her Dame du Lis-the Lady OF
the Lilies.
Yet the lilies of France were not
lilies at all; for the fieur-de-lis, or
flower-de-luce, is certainly an iris.
Medieval Florence, however, also reck-
oned it a lily. blazoned 1t on her IA
nous gonfalon. and made 1t consplcu-
ous in her splendid chronicles.
! Possibly It may claim even an older
and loftier fame; for some botanists
assert that it was neither scarlet
amaryllis, nor meadow lily, nor blaz-
ing wild tulip, as others claim, but the
stately oriental iris in its royal purple
majesty. with which Solomon in all
his glory could not compare.
OF late years, Japan. the land OF
gardens, has added largely to our iris
lore. The japanese irises, far sur
passing all others In beauty and va
riety, bear fanciful. often poetic,
names, which 1t is a pity our prosaic
nurserymen so seldom translate.
One lively white variety is Moon
light; another, Moonlight of Foam;
one family flushed is Dawn on the
Mountain; a striped sort, waving In
the wind. has acquired the name of
Dancing Tiger, and then there are also
q Dancing Bear, a Dancing Lion and
Heron's Feather.
The iris gardens of japan are won

nous the little maids who serve the
visiting crowds with tea in the pretty
summer houses are carefully arrayed
In iris hues.
On one special day, May 5. 1t is Gus
tomary for all houses to display grace
full and beautiful arrangements Of Iris,
hung beneath the caves. and at all the
public baths buds and petals of the
iris are cast afioat upon the water to
delight the bathers with their scent
and color.
One homeller kind is especially the
