REVEAL THEIR ARMY TRAINING
Ex-Service Men lnstnctiveIy Line Up
When Crowd Is Waiting to
Be Served.

Army training still manifests itself
in civilian life, and former soldiers
automatically fall into line when they
must wait to be served In the army
the men spent a great deal Of their
time waiting in line for mess, drawing
stuff from the supply sergeant and
dozen other purposes.
The old army training revealed it.

spell at the Brooklyn Central 7. N.
G. A., when apparently most Of the
10000 members sought to take advan-
tage Of the swimming pool. Crowds
of young men stormed the locker
rooms each evening. The ex-service
men set the example by lining up and
taking their turns to reach the gate.
AS each elevator disembarked its load
the former soldiers automatically went
to the rear. Younger men who had
not had this training and sought to
edge il far up the line were promptly
pulled out and sent to their station

REVIVAL OF CLASSIC GREEK
Western Newspaper Welcomes Pos
sbiity of Its Becoming, in
Time, a World Language.

Were one to judge from the fuss
made from time to time, one would
suppose there was real need of an in
ternauonal language. In the golden
age of the English language the great
queen addressed the ambassador at
her court in Latin, and all diplomatic
conversation and correspondence of
Europe was in Latin. Erasmus the
great scholar and writer, who visited
the court of Elizabeth's father. Henry
VIII, wrote Latin works that pro-
duced an effect comparable to that
produced by the writings of Eoltaire
two centuries later.
Much pains have been expended in
fabricating ARTIFICIAL language, such
as Esperanto, TO serve as the medium
Of communication. But such construC-
tons have no chance of practical adop-
ton, nor could they answer as well as
actual language whether dead like
Latin or living like English.
There is language, however,
which is gradually becoming again a
living one, and which as a world Ian
guage would be ideal The Greek uni
versities and Greek men of culture,
including VeniZelos himself, are en-
gagged in an attempt to restore CLASH
cal purity and perfection to modern
Greek 1t is said that the endeavor
Is by no means vain, and that gradu-
ally the ancient model is being ap-
preached. We may Yet have the speech

SAYS WAR HELPED RELIGION
Big Fight Made Soldiers Better Men,

The American soldier came out OF

Canon Talbot was senior chaplain Of
the First division Of the American eX-
peditionary forces. In a communica-
ton to national headquarters Of the
American Legion at Indianapolis he
admits the American, as he saw him
In France, was "uncommonly tlmid in
the exercise Of his religion. He was
frightened at his own religious shadow
or he might have been grossly ignor-
ant of the content and practice Of his
religion"
But as the First divisions senior
chaplain, the canon was in charge OF
all the private belongings Of the 1880
Americans killed in the ten days fight

underneath there was implicit, if not
explicit, reverence for the Son Of

Flower Worth Small Fortune.

Ten thousand dollars Is an extrao
binary price for a single plant; yet
was paid by English horticulturisr
for an orchid raised in America, tn
Catteleya gigas alba.
This Catteleya was Powered in 1910,
ard exhibited at an orchid show In the
United States, where it was awarded
a gold medal. The plant was found il
1909 in a lot of other specimens OF
Catteleya gigas. 1t was only by chance
that the plant was not sold for dol
lar or two. The only reason was that
after most Of its companions had been
disposed of this one, with some others
that were not in very good condition
was set aside. Finally all the spec.-
mems were pOtted.
To the great surprise of the hort
culturists when, next spring, the plant
came up it was with pure white flow
ers. The plant was sold in London
for perhaps the highest figure that an
orchid ever brought.

Memory and Instinct.

In the higher animals, we caa 80

instinct alone would not enable these
animals to perform such feats. Willis
we cannot investigate the animal mind
as we do the human mind, we caa
judge Of its processes by the outward

Hesitate to Attack Mankind.

Dr. kodi Of the Italian Somaliland
gives an account of lion and leopard
bites in the Giornale di Medicina Min
tare. Many deaths occur annually
almost entirely among the indigenous
in which either one of the felidae OF
the crocodile is accused. There is q
notable difference between the wounds
inflicted by the felidae and the reptile
in question, for the former, which At
tack living victims only, inflict cleaa
wounds The crocodile, on the con-
trary, secretes Its carcasses until thes
become decomposed.
In Benadir-the Italian Somalilane
the lion does not attack mankind BY
choice, preferring cattle and goats !:
but nevertheless the beast is greatly
feared by the natives, who use reason
in dealing with the leopard and cr0co-
die, but are thrown into panic by the

Pilsudski New
Chief of Staff

WARSAW. Dec. 17.-Marshal Jo-
seph Pilsudski, former provisional
president Of Poland. has been op-
pointed chief of staff of the Polish
army. He replaces General Sikorsk,
who has assumed the premiership.
The assassination on Saturday Of
President Narutowicx has aroused
the sense of patriotic duty among
all the political parties, and there
now is general cooperation for the
maintenance of strict order. !
The formation within a few hours
Of a new cabinet through the efforts
of NJ. Rataj, who automatically be-
came president when NarutoWicz
was assasSinated. and of General
Sikorski, who was called to the pre-
miershiD, has given the people feel
ing of security. The immediate sum-
monng Of parliament for next
Wednesday to elect a new president
has strengthened this feeling and
Pilsudsk's appointment as chief Of
staff has given additional assurance
that all necessary firmness will be
shown by the heads of the govern
ment in this critical time.
