English army and the French army
were about to be divided by rea-
son of this wonderful drive. IT
these two armies had been separat-
ed and Amiens taken, the result Of
the war would prabably have been
different. General Foch was given
command Of the troops of the allied
and associated powers, and he Sc
lected the American troops to enter
the fight for the great wedge that
saved Paris and stopped the Ger
man drive, which was the beginning
of the end Of this great war. After
this the Germans never won vic
tory or made another drive. 1t
was on that day at Belleau Wood
when 1000 American soldiers, our
heroes, fell in battle and are now
buried there.
"A number of patriotic women
Of the United States have formed
| themselves into an association for
the purpose of rebuilding the lit
| tie village Of Belleau, which the
American troops were compelled to
destroy in order to reach their OBJ
| jective, and it is to be reconstruct
ed as a monument to the 1000 patri-
otto, heroic dead who sleep there.
MANY hearts were filled with
/ terror at the German avalanche
Numbered on through the Aisne and
Marne to Chateau Thierry and
threatened Paris. The news of the
performance of the Americans in
this crisis ran like an electric shock
of encouragement and hope through
out the allied armies and civil pop
ulation. Corresponding dread and
apprehension filled the German
hosts. The Americans had come.
The Americans could fight. The
Americans could hold the best and
bravest Of the German armies, pin
them where they stood, and over
throw them. German prisoners
taken from raids hundreds of miles
from the scene of the fighting
knew the result. BY the rapid
grapevine of army rurnor the news
had travelled as if by telegraph.
The tidal wave Of American inter-
vention had begun to gather. The
enemy knew in his heart that it was
the beginning of the end; that the
final reserve of outraged civiliza-
ton had been brought to bear; and
that overwhelming disaster awaited
| him"
Nine days later the German drive
for Paris. first held up by the ma
rines at Belleau Wood. broke on
the rock Of the Marne at Chateau
Thierry where other American
units held them up and then drove
them across the Marine. Three days
after that the Germans repulsed at
the Belleau Wood, left the ruined
village of Belleau as it now stands
and kept on retreating until they
crossed the Rhine.

BELLEAU WOOD
MEMORIAL.

n MONI the puDlC spirit move
= ments directed to restoration
of pre-war conditions at home or
abroad few will appeal with greater
force to the average American than
the Belleau Wood memorial. The
fact that Senator Walsh of Montana
is a member of the national COM
mittee headed by Vice President
Coolidge will give local added in
terest to the memorial scheme in
this country.
It is a very modest project as
far as finances go. The committee
wants to raise 100000 for the pur-
pose of restoring the little village
of Belleau just outside the wood
where 1000 American soldiers died
in the first battle in France in
which American troops participant
ed under independent American
command. There were only SO
houses in the village built of stone
and they remain in ruins as they
stood when the German invaders
were repulsed there. Half the sum
mentioned will restore the village
and the other half restore the sur
rounding farms and erect memoir
al in the cemetery where our dead
soldiers lie. The committee asks
for donations Of one dollar or more
for this purpose and the names of
the donors will be preserved in the
French village. The money can be
sent to the treasurer, Harry ".
Haines, president Of the Farmers
and Mechanic bank, Georgetown,
or to Senator Walsh at Washing
ton who will doubtless see that it
gets to its proper place.
1t was on June 8, 1913, that the
troops of the United States in
France, mostly U. S. marines, stop
ped the German advance on Paris
at Belleau Wood. A few days later
our boys did the same thing at
Chateau Thierry on an even larger
scale. 1t was twelve days later
that Marshal Foch ordered an ad-
vance all along the line from Bel
gium to Switzerland, an advance
that never ceased until the German
armies retreated from France and
across the Rhine after the armistice.
1t was at Belleau Wood that the in
cidcnt reported in Paris weeks later
took place when an American Off
Ger declined to obey orders to re-
treat before the German advance.
Brig. Gen. Logan Feland, U. S. M.
c., settled the historical dispute as
to the identity Of the American Of
ficer who when ordered to retreat
at Belleau replied: Retreat hell!
We have just come; let the boche
retreat" The author of the mes
sage was Major Lloyd w. Williams,
u. S. M. c., who was killed ten
days later, Gen. Feland said.
| Last June 6, on the third ami
versary Of this battle Of Belleau
Wood, Senator Overman Of North
Carolina, said on the floor Of the
senate: 'Mr. President, this is the
anniversary of one of the greatest
events in history in its far-reaching
effect. The German army had made
it's great and wonderful drive, and
it seemed that our Christian civili-
cation was about to be destroyed.
Victory was about to perch on the
German banners. Amiens, France,
was about to be captured and the

ELEGY BEFORE DEATH

There will be rose and rhododendron
When you are dead and underground;
Still will be heard from white syringas
Heavy with bees, sunny sound;
Still will the .tamaracks be raining
After the rain has ceased, and still
Will there be robins in the stubble,
Brown sheep upon the warm, green hill.
Spring will not fail, nor autumn falter,
Nothing will know that you are gone,
Saving alone some sullen plsAvland
None but yourself sets foot upon;
Saving the mayweed and the pigweed
Nothing will know that you are dead
These and perhaps useless wagon
Standing beside some tumbled shed.
Oh, there will pass with your great passing
Little of beauty not your own;
Only the light from common water,
Only the grace from simple stone!

GLOVER OF THE DEVIL"

"Flower of the Devil" is strange
growth upon trees found on the sides of
Fuego Volcano in Guatemala, one of the
few places in the world where it is known
to occur. 1t has beautiful foliation, vein
ing and stem, and occurs full blown when
just unfolding from the bud. This effect
is formed by parasite which enters the
wood and dies after eating portions of it
away, process which in time produces
the results described. Tradition, however,
ascribes different origin. Years ago, when
the Spaniards ruled the country, fair
Indian maiden was supposed to have be-
trayed certain tribal secrets to her white
lover. Her people threw her into the fiery
water of Fuego in expiation of her sin,
and once every year, on Midsummer's day,
she appears to throw armfuls of the
Devils Flowers over the mountains
slopes-a solemn warning to all of the
sancitity of tribal secrets.-Ex.

MANUFACTURING REAL JEWELS

There is factory in the suburbs of
Paris at which are made every day, rubies,
sapphires, and other precious stones-not
imitation stones, but real jewels, made of
exactly the same materials as the natural
ones and by the same process-heat and
pressure. This was made possible by the
scientists discovery of means of producing
intense heat. Many years ago diamond
crystals were found in a meteorite that
had been sent to Paris for examination,
and it was deduced that diamonds and
other precious stones were the product
mainly of heat and pressure. The precious
stones were analysed and the component
minerals of most were found to be few
and easily obtained. But the old fuel
burning furnaces would not give the re-
quisite heat and gem makers had to wait
for the invention of the oxy-hydrogen
blow-pipe and the electric furnace. With
temperatures of 5000 degrees Fahrenheit
and more all the chief stones were soon
produced artifcially, and after much ex-
perimenting, factory method was evolved
>of making the chief jewels except the dia-
mond.-Es.

ENGLAND'S LARGEST HOTEL

As real sign of the return of the pip
ing times of peace comes the announce
ment of the reopening of the famous Hotel
Cecil in London, which during the war
was taken over by the British Govern
ment and used as the headquarters of the
air ministry. The Cecil is the largest
hotel in England and has 1000 bedrooms.
London has comparatively fewer hotels
than any city in the world. London is
now further handicapped in, its problem
of caring for tourists who are beginning
to flock there by the fact that three of its
largest hostelries are still in the hands of
the government. When the hotel was thc
headquarters of the air ministry the roof
was used as the London terminus of the
pigeon post between that city and Paris.

DUSK

1t is impossible to be alone here, even in
this little cabin room,
After beholding the Glory of God through
the somber splendor of twilight loom,
And the violet dusk of the mountains
quiver, and the Holy of holies glow
through the gloom.
Dusk as brooding spirit whispered over
the face of the narrowed field;
Dusk as a dim-winged dragon darkened
over the bay where the fame points
reeled;
As an angel, veiled and faming-sworded,
watched at the gates of the Unre-
vealed.
Over the bay the lights of the city,
thousand blossoms of yellow fame,
Cleaned and twinkled out of the blue
and ash-gray darkness, and there come
A slow wind thence a murmurous
rumor: human passion, sadness,
shame.
And 1 beheld in the throbbing lights of
in the iris glow of the sky;
And l behld in the throbbing lights of
the city, God in his agony
A heartbeat: a lamentation an impas-
stoned, low, insatiate cry.

POOR RICHARD WAS RIGHT

Did poor Richard know what he was
talking about?
Go up on high mountain and elucidate
to the universe that Dick did.
For proof positive, cite the single, sim
pie, startling fact that Woolworth left an
estate worth 1891, 1,633,700 pennies.
Woolworth began his mercantile career
as clerk. He early concluded that if
you stake care of the pennies, the dollars
will take care of themselves"
Today his chain of stores links the con-
tinent and the highest business building
in the world stands in New York as a
monument to his thrift
The success which came to him was
builded on pennies and nickles and dimes.
The inspiration of Woolworth is parti-
cularly timely in the Ninth Federal Re-
serve District. Systematic saving is the
order of the day..
The government offers to assist indivi-
duals to put aside regularly certain
amount of their income by supplying IS
cent Thrift stamps; ST Treasury Savings
stamps; Understanding, tax-exempt S.

exempt SIS and $10O Savings certificates.

THE COST OF COMPLAINING

'Taint in the way O. common sense,
- To growl at rain an bring the sun,
A grumblef never built fence
Or finished work that should be done
Eve never known the clouds to 20
Becoz some feller sat an whined,
When it's too wet to plow or hoe
Some other task to do find.
I've never known kicker yet
To alter things past his control,
Nor met a man with power to fret
An easier journey to his goal.
Fond hopes 60 wrong an plans will stray
However much man complains,
An spite of all we have to say
When it is willed to rain, it rains.
The chap that gets the biggest crops
Is not the one that wears the frown,
When growlin' starts, all progress stops,
No man can climb by sitting down.
Time spent in whimperin' is lost,
An cursin' never changed the sky;
The grumbler pays heavy cost
For every discontented sigh.
So when in mire my wagons stuck,
l do not idly stand about
An start to rave and curse my luck;
l 60 to work and dig it out
An when I've wanted weather fair,
But skies are gray instead O. blue,
