ers. Among the sights shown the
American visitors at this Thanet re-
sort was the old church of st. John
the Baptist; which was founded in
1850 AD.-l6 years before the Nor
man conquest.
AS it happened, among the dele
gates was Robert H. Cornell, adver-
tIsing manager of the Houston Post
of Houston, Tex. And it also hap
pened that he was accompanied by
the publisher of big London daily,
who knew the story of the Rev David
Railton's connection with the un-
known warrior. The London pub
Usher mentioned to Mr.. Cornell that
the old church, which they were Wis
iting was the Rev. Railton's church,
and told him the story of the concep-
tion of the idea of honoring the un-
identified soldier, adding that it had
never been printed out of Difference

But that's too good a story not to

EEW men have lived lives of more
continuous adventure than John
Kenlon; few have shown themselves
to be more nearly personitication or
fortitude and daring ingenuity. Four
teen years as a sailor and 81 as a New
York fire-fghter have singled him out
as the daily companion of danger.
Born near the little seaport village
Of Annagassan, in County Louth, Ire
land, at the age 13 he shipped as a
cabin boy aboard small topsail
schooner. There followed, on many
ships and many waters. including the
American Great Lakes. the closest
brushes with death in storms and
fires. And on account of his quick
Intelligence and his bearing in these
hardships and dangers he rose to the
positions both of master mariner and
of chief engineer.
Chief kenlon's training at sea
proved of great advantage to him
when, in 1897 he Joined the New York
Fire Department. Steadily he ad-
vanced through all grades until he
attained the rank of chief,Y on August
!, 1911.
In a series of five article, of which
this is the first, Chief Kenlon, who
personally has fought in more than
$4,000 fires, recounts outstanding feats
of bravery and fidelity in the face of
peril by members of the New York
Fire Department. Writing as head of
this organization, naturally his indi-
vidual exploits have been submerged,
but it will be obvious to the reader
that he himself passed through many
remarkable experiences similar to
those which are here described.
In this connection, since his own
performances are but lightly touched
upon, it should be disclosed that Chief
Kenlon has been awarded a depart
ment medal for saving life at great
personal risk" and commended five
times 'for meritorious conduct at
great personal risk

Will.o'.

Wfll-o'-the-w is a mysterious
light which people believe they saw
floating across the moors and other
lonely places In olden days in Eng
land there were many stories told
Of this mystic light. 1t was supposed
to have strange power of drawing
people after it. Sometimes the peo-
pie beneath it's spell were led to the
tops of high cliffs, which, as they
followed the light, they did not notice,
but plunged to death.
In the cottages on the edges Of the
moors. which were great. bleak
stretches of marshy land, the boys
and girls used to listen to tales Of
this mysterious light and it's magic
spell. shivering at the thought Of the
lonely moor and the dangerous will
o'-the-wisp.
The wise scientists laughed at these
stories of wandering clouds of light
which danced across the ground and
put 1T all down to imagination. The
stories kept on, however, and many
very reliable people wrote about see
ing these queer lights on the moor.
Now the scientists believe that most
of the people were telling the truth
about seeing the lights, though there
is nothing magic about them.
One cause is a peculiar light given
off sometimes by decaying wood and
other vegetable matter Then, too,
ball lightning sometimes acts in the
way the country people described the
magic fire as acting. Gas rising from
marshes and stagnant pools some
times takes fire and may burn for a
whilc with a bright light which
would mystify anybody who did not
know what caused 1t. Naptha springs
also burn sometimes in the same way.
Then there is a flame known as st.
Elmo's fire, which is seen though
rarely at the tops Of trees or steeples
in stormy weather. 1t is queer dis
charge of electricity which takes the
form of a little flame which may be
seen very clearly.
OF course, some Of the will-o'-the-
| wisps reported may have been large
| firefies or glowworms, or even the
| lights OF moving lanterns or light in
| the windows of distant houses. How
| ever. 1t Is pretty certain that people
| actually did see lights which were
mysterious to them and which they
therefore believed to be magical.
| The people in different localities
| called will-o'-the-wisp by many
other queer names. Some of these
| were aw-puck. corpse candle. dank

THE idea did not come to him like
a fiash-the interment in West
minister Abbey was happy thought
after he had mentally planned an out
door memorial. A chance visit to the
abbey convinced him that the un-
known warrior should lie with Great
Britain's historic dead. And when
he had his plans fully formulated he
wrote to Lloyd George, then premier,
for an opportunity to submit them.
After considerable delay the Rev.
DR.. Railton received word that the
premier would receive him, and he
journeyed to London to outline the
idea Lloyd George listened most at
tentively-even sympathetically-b
he did not commit himself one way
or the other. He told the fighting
vicar that he would think it over and
few weeks. So the clergyman re-
turned to his home in Margate, ad-
joining the eleventh century church
where he officiates.
Weeks elapsed without any word
from the premier. The Rev. David
Railton became impatient. He wrote
again, and when he received some
what evasive reply, he went up to
London and waited until Lloyd
George received him.
This second visit was no more sue
cessful than the first, but the fighting
vicar would not be denied. Five sep
arate times he returned to No. 10
Downing street to talk with Lloyd
George before he received assurances
that his plans for the memorial would
be carried out. And as part of the
plans, It should be mentioned, was
the stipulation that his name should
not be mentioned in any connection
with them.
Months elapsed-during which the
plans Wefe ampltAed and put into

submerged. The fire started in the
cellar and made its way up the dumb
waiter shaft to the roof. Technically,
it mushroomed out through the fourth
floor, cutting off all of the front rooms
and preventing access to the rear fire
escapes. While the engine companies
were stretching in, truck companies
were performing rescue work.
Battalion Chief Kane ordered Fire
man Ferdinand E. Boyer and Lieut..
Peter E. Costello to go to the fourth
floor of the adjoining building and
rescue Mrs. Berone. 1t was necessary
for Fireman Boyer to step out of the
window of the fourth floor onto the
coping over the window of the third
floor. With the skill and agility of a
steeplejack. he reached out and
grasped the fourth floor window cas-
ing of the fire-swept structure. then
pulled himself onto the window sill,
thus reaching the room in which the
trapped woman was located.
By that time the fire had consumed
the front door of the apartment.
Flame, smoke and heat were rolling
through this aperture. Mrs. Berone
was practically overcome, and Fire
man Boyer suffered severely from the
effects of the heat and smoke. New
ertheless. he succeeded in passing the
woman from one window ledge to the
other, where Lieut. Costello was able
| to receive her and carry her to safety
amid the cheers Of watching throng.

PUT the applause of the public is
- not the only reward which comes
to firemen for these valorous deeds OF
rescue work. There is a board Of
merit in the department. which re-
wards such work, and awards various
departmental and civic medals These
include the Bennett and Department
Medal. Bonner and Department Medal,
Kenny and Department Medal. Archer
and Department Medal, Trevor-War-
rem and Department Medal, Strong
| and Department Medal and the
Wertheim and Department Medal. A
fireman in risking his life performs
an act beyond all human reward. If
he survives, he is assuredly entitled
to the highest recognition.

that of paying homage to the
brave who fell in the Great War by
burying an unknown warrior with
pomp and glory. Nearly every allied
country has followed the example of
Great Britain by interring one OF it's
nameless soldier dead in it's most
halloWed spot. For this simple yet
exalted idea has suggested the most
fitting tribute that could be paid to
the thousands who died for their
native lands.
One has only to visit Westminster
Abbey, in London; the Arc de Triom-
phe. in Paris, or our own Ar
lington Cemetery. at Washington.
to appreciate how this idea has
gripped the mind of every one
young and old( rich and poor. The
graves of the unknown warriors bur-
led at these shrines attract greater
attention than any other memorial
within their precincts.
Even in Westminster Abbey, where
the illustrious dead Of Great Britain
are buried, more people stand with
bowed heads before-the slab Of stone
which marks the grave of the un-
known British warrior than before
any dozen monuments within its
walls.
Not only did Belgium and Italy en-
unknown dead, but only a few weeks
ago in far-off Jugoslavia the King
and Queen of the Croats and Slovenes
attended the ceremony which was
held over the grave of one of their
nameless soldier dead, who was bur-
led with the highest military honors.
Yet despite the fact that volumes
have been written about these memo
rials, not to mention the thousands
of pictures of them which have ap-
peared in all parts of the world, not
one person in a million-probably not
one in ten million-knows who first
conceived the idea of so honoring an
unknown warrior. For the modest
Englishman who first suggested
transferring the remains of an un-
known British soldier to Westminster
Abbey has always refused to allow the
few who knew his part in the memorial
to publish the facts. 1t was not until
group of American advertising men
visited Margate last July and talked
him into 1t that he consented to have
the facts made public.
The Rev. David Railton, vicar of
Margate Parish Church (St John the
Baptist, Thanet), is the man who first
conceived this great idea And, like
many another great idea. he had all
kinds of difficulty in getting 1t adopt
eo. Of course, after Great Britain
had led the way there was no stop
ping 1t. But at this late date it seems
surprising that tho mere suggestion
of the memorial should not have re-
suited in immediate action.
1t was upon his return from France
at the close Of the war that the Rev.
David Railton first conceived the
idea. He had served four years as
a chaplain at the front, and of course
had been called upon to officiate at
the burial of many unidentified dead.

The Indians Of that quarter OF the
world have a system of enumeration
of their own, of which the human
hand is the basis. They count upon
the fingers until five is reached, when
they denote the number by hand.
Six is hand and first finger and
10 is two hands. but when 20 is
reached a new name is used. Twenty

men.
Forty-ive would be two men and a

Westminster Abbey. In the presence
Of the most distinguished array of
royalty, military and naval officials
and church dignitaries that ever
filled the Abbey. the body of an un-
known soldier was buried with the
highest military honors. in the most
conspicuous spot. The casket was
wrapped with the communion flag
used by the Rev. Railton throughout
the war, and the huge stone which
was placed above it was engraved
with the inscription (now a literary
classic) written by the vicar of the
little Margate church. At the top of
the stone is set forth with beautiful
simplicity: "a British Warrior Who

the man who conceived it and whose
persistence made it a reality. Some
newspaper men did hear about 1t and
went to the Rev. Railton's home in
Victoria road, Margate, to get the
story. But he begged them not to
inform the public of his connection
with the memorial, and his mishes

When Walsh and Devine were
bringing the girl from the seventh to
the sixth floor. another scaling ladder,
16 feet in length, was suspended from
a sixth-1oor window by Fireman
Sloan. who had also swung himself
across the shaft and had reached a
fifth-f1oor window sill, where he stood
waiting for the firemen above him to
lower the girl BY this means Miss
Goldberg was lowered to the fifth
floor.
From this point Fireman Sloan
pushed the scaling ladder, with Fire
man Devine and Miss Goldberg clutch,
ing the lower end, over toward the

away. There was no ladder to bridge
this space of more than five feet,
with a clear drop of 65 feet to the
bottom OF the light shaft. The slight
