WATCH TURNS BULLET
AND SAVES CONSTABLE

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, Nov. q
Constable Charles Barnhart, of Han
cock, considers himself the luckiest
man in the world today. He stoutly
maintains that he owes his life to his
watch, which he reverently caresses,
perhaps unconscously every time he
relates his narrow escape from death.
Constable Barnhart was patrolling
his beat" recently, musng abstract
edly. when he discovered two men
lettering in the rear of an automobile
concern. Their actions being suspic-
ious, the constable decided 20 arrest
them for trespassing.
Approaching them, Bernhard in
quired what they were doing. In reply
one of the men drew a revolver and
fired into the ground.
when / started after him he aimed
and fired at me-" Barnhart declared 4,
But fate intervened with the course
of the bullet. Aimed so true that ia
tai damage would have occurred had
its course not been interrupted. the
bullet struck Barnhart's watch and
was harmlessly deflected. His assail-
ants escaped while he was arousing
himself from his daze and getting his
feet back on the ground again.

THE LEGION ANSWERS COL. HARVEY

MBASSAD0R HARVEY summed up his version of why the
United States entered the when he told the peope
England that I'VE afraid not to fight That is the
real truth of the natter and along toward the end
and helped you and allies shorten the war; That is all we
did and all we claim to have done"
After scrappng redho resolution in reply to Mr. Har
Veyand making determined effort to moderate its language in
order TO preserve Its appearance of courtesy toward an import
ant official the convention of the American epon states its
contrary version, as follows:
That the sentiments expressed by George Harvey United
States ambassador to Great Britain his Pilgrim Dav sneech
setting forth the for Americas entry into the World
War and the for which America fought do not
the true American attitude interpreted by the American o.
glon and let be known for all time that America fought NOT
only for the maintenance of Americas rights but for the free
com OF the world and that copy of this resolution be sent to
the president Of the United States"
These are only the words of the American LEGION and the
legion IS composed to be sure of who walked in ranks
rather han OF men who sat in at important councils 1t may be
that several gentlemen and officers Col Harvevs opnon
gathered somewhere in office and decided among themselves
early IN l9lf that the war be fought not to save emoc
racy but to save our own SKINS the decision was never
puDshed and nobody boased about at the time The country
and the boys who went to France under the impression that
the war was war to democracy war to end wars
did save the democracy OF France did overthrow tho Hoben
zolerns What influence may on ending wars is vet n
be seen
There would have been little enthusiasm in 1917 for ,or
which the country fought because was afraid not TO gb
Was that after all why the young volunteered or submit

knew what they were fighting for and they seem 10 know a

Most Of them also know when n y in

The test was made among approx
mately 81, 600 children Of the lower
grades. and showed that they spelled
SO per cent of the words correctly An
average Of 81 per cent was made by
children who entered the test in schools
IN other parts of the country.
Twenty words Of ordinary usage
were given to each class. About 1900
passed perfect test.
The best spelling was in the sixth
grade. where the average mark was 91 )
per cent. The lowest average class
was the eighth grade, That fact is ex.
planned by Dr.. Armand V Gerson, as.
sociate superintendent, aS being caused
BY two factors.
