LAST FATALITY IN DISPUTE
When Determined, Monument Will Be
Erected on Spot Where Unfortu-
nate Soldier Died.

When was the last man killed in
the war? This is the latest question
asked by the French literary journal,
Renaissance. 1t promises to be taken
up seriously by the allied nations, each
of which has hitherto considered that
the honor belonged to 1t. The British
declare that a few minutes before
eleven o'clock on the morning Of the
armiStice a colonel of machine gunners
in the British army received stray
bullet, but it Is doubtful whether this
bullet came from a German sniper or
from party Of moppers up. At any
outclassed. Veterans associations In
allied countries are being asked to
send in corroborated details Of Incl
dents likely to aid in solving the prob
lem, which the Renaissance assures its
readers is just as important as is the
identity of the first man killed In the
war, the latter honor, of course, be-
longing to the French soldier who
crossed the German frontier without
knowing war had been declared and
was shot during an alteration with
q German customs agent and a squad
of German infantry. Once the iden-
tity of the last man killed in the war
Is established, a monument will be
raised to commemorate the fatality
and the soldier who lost his life at
the moment of victory.

Sapphire With a History.

The big sapphire on the top Of the
cross on the state crown of the king
of England once was believed to have
the power of curing rheumatism, sci
atica and various other diseases which
afflicted men a thousand or so years
ago. 1t is not believed that this stone
has lost any of the powers with which
1t began life, perhaps million years
ago but a large part of the British
public seems to have lost faith in its
curative properties. This sapphire was
once the setting of the coronation ring
of Edward the ConfeSsor, who was
buried in Westminster abbey, and was
taken out of his caSket in the year
1101, since which time 1t has been one
of the English crown jewels. To
whom 1t belonged before 1t became
the property of the pious Edward his
torians do not tell.-Washington Star.

The committee had interviewed

BLIND TO GREAT INVENTION
French Emperor Missed Opportunity
When He Turned Down" Ericsson's
Offer to Build Monitors.

March 8, 1862; August, 1921. These
dates comprise the history of ironclad
monitors, the first of which, invented
by John Ericsson, met and defeated
the Merrimac at Hampton Roads on
the date first named. The last Of the
British monitors, after seeing minor
service in the World war, was con-
signed to the scrap heap by the ad-
miralty last August.
The history of the monitors goes
back to the days Of Napoleon III, when
Great Britain was in ferment, appre-
hending invasion from across the
channel. Ericsson, a Swedish engl-
neer, urged the French emperor in
1854 to build, according to his design,
armored vessels of low freeboard. with
big guns in revolving shot-proof
cupOlas, placed centrally on the decks.
Such a type of armor-clad ship, he de-
clared, would .revolutionize naval war
fare. The idea was not carried out
and Great Britain's wooden ships
never had to face the ordeal of the
MerrimaC.
But Ericsson prevailed on the Union
leaders of the American Civil war
to give his idea trial. In 100 days
his ship was built, armed and
equipped, and it soon fulfilled the in
ventor's hope that it would serve as
a monitor" or lesson, to the Confed-
eracy.
Even before this, however, the Brit
ish admiralty had taken up the idea
and had built vessel Of similar
type. At the time Of the armist!ce
tie British navy had 81 Of them.
