THE ROCK
BY 7. 7. MAxEY

NXTHEN the Pilgrim Fathers landed
w from the Mayflower at Plymouth,
Massachusetts, they stepped out upon
a boulder which has become famous
as the Plymouth Rock.
This rock Is said to weigh seven
tons, possess a greenish hue, to be
very hard and its surface capable of
taking a high polish. Oval in shape
and having a fiat top, it offered a
made-to-order landing place for the
~forefathers. Scientists declare that ii
was undoubtedly carried by a glacier,
from some strange and distant land.
Like most movable things of pecul-
lar historic value, a loving public has
been wont to disturb this valued relic
and change its location. In IVA,
while plans were under way to move
the rock TO the town square, 1t was
discovered that the action of the ele-
ments had separated the upper and
lower portions. Nevertheless, the top
portion was moved. In 1880 years
later-it was again moved, this time
to a location in front of Pilgrim Hall
and inclosed with an iron fence. Here
it remained for forty-six years. Then
1t was decided that the rock should
he returned to its original location.
Accordingly, after a separation of
more than one hundred years, the up
per portion of the rock was carefully
placed wei the lower portion, where
it now reposes under an ornate can
opy.
Here, this treasured shrine, to which
come visitors from every cline, shall
undoubtedly remain for all time, look
ing much the same rs when Its side
was first grazed by the good ship
Mayfower.

Major General Henry j.. Allen, COM
handing the United States army OF oc-
cupation in Germany and a company
of American infantry from the Rhine
have been ordered by the War Depart
ment to attend the unwilling of the
F1irey monument at Flirey, France,
this summer. The monument is a me-
mortal to the American Expeditionary
Forces. Two hundred and fifty mem
bers of the American Legion who have
been invited to tour France as guests
of the French government will partici-
pate in the ceremonies. John G.. EN-
cry, national commander of the Leg
ion, will be one of the speakers.
Because he believes married men
make better citizens, Rev. John w.
Inzer, national chaplain of the Amer
lean Legion, has announced that he
will perform without cost marriage
ceremonies for members of the Legion
attending the national convention of
the organization at Kansas City this
fall. The convention committee be-
lieves the chaplain's inducement will
result in so many marriages during
the convention that it has appointed
a special newlyweds committee to
look after the comforts of bridal par
ties.
An expressed desire to be buried
with her son, who lost his life over
seas, was realized by Mrs. John johann
sen. ST., of Davenport, Ia, who died
a few minutes before the train bearing
her sons body reached Davenport.
Mrs. Johansen had been i'll ever since
the shock caused by news of her sons
death. 1t was a strange fate that
brought about the double funeral. The
American Legion was in charge of the
funeral.
Roy Albert, of st. Louis, Mo-, said
to have been the smallest man who
served with the American army over
seas, was killed by a train at Casper,
Wyo. He weighed SO pounds. The
American Legion took charge of the
body and arranged funeral plans.
Clifford A. Latin, winner of a CroiS
de Guerre, who survived several major
engagements in France as a firts lieu
tenant of the 18th Field Artillery, died
recently in a st. Paul. Mimi, hospital
from a pin scratch. The funeral was
conducted by the American Legion.
"The American Legion is one of the
bulwarks of the world" said Marshal
Foch Ain a recent interview with an
American newspaper correspondent
Referring to the Paris post of the Leg
ion, the marshal said it was "the Am
erican heart of France"
Formal demand has been made tt

to 7, at Filler, last Saturday.

taught gamely but were beaten by
"a stronger team. The overhead at

the water with "a stick in his hand
when death overcame him. He had
been taking treatments for his
heart for some time and it is pre-
sumed he died from heart failure.

Washington, D. Cdr. AdOlph
Lorenz, for thirty years chief sur
geon ITO the ambulance and clinical
wards for orthopedic surgery in the
municipal hospital of Viena, and
recognized as one of the foremost
orthopedic authorities in the world,
who arrived in New York recently
to help repay his country's debt OF
gratitude for American relief work
by treating poor American children
at one time found ''a higher sur
gerry" in becoming a butcher" for
the American Red Cross in Vienna.
Discussing the p-,aDle plight of
Vienna's children at that time and
the events that led up to his becom-
ing a butcher the famous. surgeon
said
"Terrifying as is une daily toll of
victims in tuberculosis cases, the
fate of unfortunate youths of both
sexes is even more SO. These drag
themselves along crying out for
help that nobody CAN give them, and
this just because they are starving.
"The mere sight of these heaped
up miseries has at times over
whelmed me, and l would run off
, in despair, only to return very soon
to the work of at least lessening the
physical agonies of the sufferers
How could / venture to perform ev-
en- necessary operations on those
wretched children and half-grown
youths? The slightest bloodshed
certainly would kill them. Not ev-
en- gymnastic treatment could be
advised for children suffering from
deviations of the spine. How car
they perform muscular exercises
when they are scarcely able to keeI
themselves on their weak legs?
"Under circumstances like this
began to hate my work. But hap
PLY AN event occurred which bro
about a change and l again Learned
to love the work, because it ther
seemed less hopeless. 1t wasn't by
