We study and we plan and we
contrive and then so many OF our
discoveries are accidents. Da-
guerre some hundred years ago,
was working hard to find some
method by which he could make
permanent the scenes which
were reflected in mirrors. Every
effort was failure until quite
by accident he left a sensitized
plate near a dish of mercury, and
the next morning when he. re-
turned, the very thing he had
been striving for was accom-
plished before his eyes. OF
course the accident would never
have happened if he hadn't been
working in the direction of
picture making. That is the
one fact which saves us from
Encouragement in our efforts to
find better way than we knew
before to do the worlds work.
the accidents happen only to the
ones who are striving for some
thing.
Germany must still be armed
as cable reports have it that
there is a call from allied mil
itary experts that Germany be
made to disarm by July LIST. 1t
is now two years since the World
War was over and yet Germany
is still armed. Another call has
gone out that the Kaiser, who is
living comfortably in Holland,
shall be punished. 1t is doubt
full if the man who fled like a
coward from his army will ever
be anything but the live dog he
elected to become. There are no
dead lion qualities about Will
helm. The Versailles treaty
didn't seem much of anything
except to mark the formal end
ing of the war.
Westminster has her unknown
soldier hero; under the arc de
Triumphe in Paris lays the re-
mains of one of France unknown
heroes and it looks as if the
Amphitheatre at Arlington may
entomb the bones of one of our
unknown patriots. No one will
ever know who lays in these
shrines of their countries most |
hallowed places but their bodies
typify the best in human nature
"a nations patriotism, a nations
unselfshness, a nations bravery,
a nations ideals. 1t will be well
if this body which it is proposed
to lay in the Amphitheatre shall
be the dedication of a nations
Westminster, the burial place of
the nations greatest citizens.
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll is
now a German citizen. The
best we can say is that he is now
sailing under his true colors. He
ought to make the thing COM
plete by changing his name from
Grover Cleveland to Kaiser Will
helm. Some of our draft dodgers
were simply towards at heart
but some of them were German
sympathizers.
We talk glibly of our million
aires until they seem as common
as yellow dogs but only one per-
son in the whole country made
SIS, 100000 in the year 1918 and
so far as known no one has made
so much since. Most of us come
well below the millionaire class
and few of us have the grace to
be sorry for it.

A new place has been found
