Chasseurs An Old Regiment
These chosen troops, the chas-

fore the World War. The first
Napoleon had battalion Of chas-

Grand Army. Afterwards they dis
appeared from the army list for a
time, but were reconstructed by
the Duke of CLEANS under Louis
Philippe.
Solferino, during the Italian war
of Liberation, and Sebastopol, in
the Crimean war, added to the
fame OF the chasseurs, and, during
the war of 1870, against the Prus-
slams, they distinguished them
selves on many occasions.

The French Respect for Their Dead


Attention. The division will
salute the memory of those of its
comrades who have fallen while
fighting for their country"
The voice of General M, one
of the young French commanders,
who, by sheer merit, had made his
way to the front rank during the
war, rang out clearly over a
stubble field not far from the fight
ing lines. The troops of his divis-
ion, drawn up in deep formation,
facing towards the point whence
the sound of the German guns
could be heard plainly, presented
arms and the drums tapped out a
general salute, while the colors of
the various regiments were low
cred, out of respect for those who
had died.
The long rows of bayonets re-
manned perfectly still for several
minutes, while the roll of the
drums continued, and, even after
this had ceased and absolute 81
lence reigned, the men stood mo-
tionless for further period, their
thoughts with their former com
rades.
Respect for the dead is deeply
ingrained in the French character
and the soldiers appreciate greatly
such an opportunity to honor
those who have died warriors

The division concerned had seen

make hasty exit, when Mr.. Car

Mr.. Carroll Questions Skeets

Mr.. Carroll's eyes twinkled when
he put this question. In his young

"Skeets." Skeets grinned and
looked down at his shoes bashfully
when he said this

Sheets said he did.
And Then
"Jim has been advanced and has
a better job. So now we're need

How would you like the job?"
Skeets was astounded. A job in

Mr.. Carroll, smiling at Skeets'

APPEAL TO ORGANIZED LABOR
OF THE WORLD

Organized labor throughout the world,
especially in the United States, is urged
to raise its voice in protest against the
ruthless persecution and slaughter of
labor unionists" in Soviet Russia, in an
appeal issued at Washington by the
American Fedora ton of Labor.
"Let the Soviet savages know what
labor of the civilized world thinks of
their bestial SYSTEM" the appeal de-
clared. "Let every labor organization in
the country respond"
The federation's statement declared
that after ''tricking" labor into support
ing the Soviet regime, Trotzky and Len
inc, its leaders, began carrying out their
threats of determination of the leaders
of labor an peasant parties and also of
so-called hostages.
The offense of the labor unionists was
very clear" said the appeal. ''They are
fundamentally opposed to the so called
government set up by Lenine and his
handful of associate dictators. As far as
is possible under that ruthless tyranny
organized labor of Russia is everywhere
in state OF full revolt. The organized
workers are doing what they can to
reach the hearts and minds of the labor
ing humanity n all countries, but they
are working against overwhelming diff
culties-refusal of the bread card, which
means immediate starvation for their
families, the firing squad, death by tor
ture in prisons. 1t is difficult for them
even to speak and decree especially for
bidding speeches at labor union meetings
has been issued
The appeal cites at length a list of
charges against the soviet regime, de-
cIaring that it has esta b!ished S. stem of
slavery" made long hours and Sunday
work compulsory, and has forbidden
strikes.
There has probably never been in
modern times or in any country" the
statement concludes, ga more ruthless
persecution and slaughter of labor union
lists than that which is now taking place
in what the Norwegian labor party calls
'baIbarous Soviet Russia Things have
gone so far that M. Merrheim, secretary
of the largest French labor union Uhe
M tai Workers. although an ultra paci-
fist and revolutionary syndicalist himself,
has issued an appeal to Organized labor
of the world, to raise its voice in protest
This appeal deserves response in every
country of the world and especially the
United States"

NOT A LAND OF DEMOCRACY.

An eminent Englishman, upon his re-
turn to London, after an extended visit
to the United States, recently said:
81 once believed that America was the
land of democracy. 1t is not. Here we
Americans live under a kind of alternat-
ing autocracy The will of the people
prevails in England, but in America the
chief decision is founded on the thoughts
of people who lived 140 years ago. Fur
ther, there is much more freedom of
speech in Great Britain than in the Unit
ed States. The reason, it seems to me, is
because there were SO many aliens in
America who had not assimilated Amer
can ideas; they are generally the leaders
tied American, loving the country, is not
going to have it upset by aliens, who, If
they do not like the land, better get out.
Generally speaking, no. Why should
they7 Comparatively few are of direct
British descent; the German element has
no reason to like US and the Irish have
their own reason to dislike US. Some of
the undercurrent of dislike is due to our
mannerisms which are accidental and to
our supposed aloofness, which is really
shyness. In the most cultured class
found good appreciation of the English
but the explanation of the attitude of the
masses is to be found in their school
books, the alteration of which would
show real friendship toward England.
'But, despite our differences, the things
of which both peoples are most proud are
drawn from a common source and these
are the things we must do our best to cul-
tivate. The world is in perilous condi
ton today, and l believe it would 60
down in chaos unless these two great peo-
pies are able to work together, not only
for themselves but for the welfare of the
world. America and England would be
committing crime against posterity, if,
today, because of any limitation of Wis
ion, they allow any serious misunder-
standing to grow up between them"

cepted the decision. At the close of the
Spanish war, in 1899, the United States
took the Philippines, but did not take the
Carolines, and a little later Spain sold
them to Germany, aud, when the World
War ended, these islands were part of
the possessions of Germany, which were
to be disposed of. zap is not important
because of it's resources, but its excep-
tional availability as base for cable and
radio service in the Pacific. is now of
such international importance that its
status is under discussion by the Cables
Conference at Washington, by the League
of Nations in Europe and in the newspa-
pers all over the United States.
1t is said that in the early days OF the
war Great Britain agreed, in case of VIC
tory, to support Japan's claim to all Ger
man Pacific islands north of the equator,
and Japan agreed to support Great Brit
aims claim for all German Pacific islands
south of the equator. The United States
entered the war and made victory posi-
BILE, but this did not give us any voice in
the disposal of these islands. In May,
1919, the supreme council of the League
of Nations confirmed the agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Japan, and last
December gave Japan a mandate over
the Carolines. Evidently Japan does not
intend to allow the United States to con-
tinue to have cable station at zap. This
is made plain by the fact that she has
suggested that if want cable commune
cation with China we can lay cable
from Shanghai to Guam, a distance of
some 800 miles. Guam is one of group
of islands about 600 miles north of zap,
and more than 5000 miles from San Fran
CISCO We have a naval station and a
cable station there and it is port of call
for trans Pacific steamers. We bought
Guam of Spain in 1898, and about the
same time Germany bought all the other
islands in the group and these were given
to Japan in accordance with the above
mentioned British-Jap agreement. The
United States asks that she may have
such international rights in Yap as is ac-
corded to other nations AS long ago as
August, 1919, President Wilson assured
the Senate committee on foreign rela-
lions that the claim of this country as to
zap had been conceded by the Allies in
the peace conference and we believe
that Mr.. Wilson told the truth, but it
now appears that the minutes relating to
the island of zap were not written into
the records of the peace conference. Our
Secretary of State, Mr.. Colby, has made
a courteous but vigorous presentation of
what this country considers to be inter-
national equity and fair dealing in this
matter. England and Japan have large
interests on the other shore of the Pacific
ocean and these two nations are virtually
in control of the supreme council of the
League of Nations. We fear, therefore,
that Mr.. Colby's note will be like the
good seed which fell by the wayside.

WATER FROM ARTEsIAN WELL
Why Method of Bringing 1t to Sur
face Is Only Successful in Ger
tain Localities.

Artesian wells are possible only in
certain localities. When there are
pervious strata lying between i'm
pervious beds the water percolating
through will be imprisoned; lying up
on the lowest, and rising to some
point in the highest, when a previous
stratum brings it to the surface and
it escapes in the form of spring. If,
however, a shaft can be sunk to the
lowest point, the water of the whole
basin will pass upward for escape
and will rise to a levei corresponding
to the greatest height to which the
imprisoned strata reaches. The wells
were named from one at Artois,
France, which was the first sunk with
full knowledge of the principle in
volved. The Chinese from time inn
memorial have used these wells, and
they have also been used for cen
turtles in the neighborhood of Vienna.
The artesian well at Grenoble, near
Paris, throws water to height Of 80
feet above the surface at the rate of
more than 500 gallons a minute
