Describing visit paid last year
to the battlefields Of France, Faith
Hunter Dodge wrote as follows in the
New York Tribune:
Here's flowers for you" wrote
Shakespeare.
Here's flowers for you," repeat
Americans and French, lavish in their
giving for Our Boys Memorial day.
Here's flowers for you" echo the
sun-kissed hil1s and valleys of France,
never more prOdlgal Of blossoms. And
every American soldiers grave in
France is heaped high with wreaths
and flowers on Memorial day. Daffo-
dis in wild profusion, blue iris, red
poppies and peonies, sweet-smelling
white syringas and pale primrose find
their places among the numberless
wreaths Of immortelles.
Flowers Everywhere.
From slimiest shell holes and poi

springing; they seem to have sought

They thrust their petals through the

stones and plaster of ruined houses

they wind their slight stems about
nrbed wire and peek through the
fallen, tattered torn remnants OF
camoufage. The sobs which rise I'M

DAYS True slnnlHonnnn.

Following the thought expressed by
Lincoln, at Gettysburg the true signi-
ficance Of Memorial day is a rededica-
tion Of the lives and purposes Of liv-
ing Americans to those ideals Of gov
ernment for which so many Of our
cherished sleepers have paid ''the last
full measure Of devotion"
We can smother their resting places
with fowers-it costs little. We can
listen to sonOrOus eulogies Of their
deeds and their supreme sacrifices.
But the highest tribute we can pay
the glorious dead is to take from their

FIGURES IN POLISH HISTORY
Countess PotoeIIa, Of Obscure Birth.
Became Wife Of Great Nobeman
Of That Country.

The Countess PotOcka lived obscure
ly in the days between the first and
second partitions of Poland. She was
born in 1865. and was the daughter Of
a Greek shoemaker at COnstantinOple.
Her extraordinary beauty and her pow
erty brought her to misfortune. A
French consul named BOscamp took
her away from COnstantlnople to PO-
land. There she is said to have mar
ried a Russian general, and later to
have divorced him.
Then she married Count StanislaW
Felix POtOcka. one of the wealthiest
nObiemen of Europe, Pole of great
influence but slight ability, who is re-
garded as a traitor who did much to
bring ruin to Poland. The countess
lived for many years in Berlin, where
her beauty created a furOre in the
ranks Of society. She died there In
1922.
Count POtOcka was the Rockefeller
Of Poland. He owned several castles
and enormous estates, possessing in
the Ukraine alone no less than 3,OOO,-
600 acres. When he became of age he
married secretly a very attractive
cousin. When the story of their elOpe-
ment was divulged there were terrible
scenes. Although he was old enough
to be husband Felix was fOgged and
his young wife, berated and Stunned,
finally threw herself into a pond to es-
cape her prosecutors.
