Data on Durham Cathedral.

Durham, like all old English Cathed-
rails, is built entirely of stone, wood
being used for decorative purposes
only. One great reason for its sCIid
ity is the foundation. It goes down
and out many feet, resting on the
rock core of England. 1t is a re-
markable example of solidity and
beauty of a period when fine stone
work, perhaps the finest the world
has ever known, was it it's height.
The foundations of the present ca
thedral were laid in 1898 by Bishop
Carileph. They were laid on the site
of an early Saxon church. The work
went on through the early English
and medieval periods, 1890 being the
date of the erection of the central
tower.
The story of Durham traces back to
ST. Cuthbert in the 9TH century The
monks of Melrose abbey in Scotland
fled before the invading Danes. After
wandering hundred years they were
directed by series of miracles to To-
cate in Durham, then "Dunholme." A
replica in stone of a dun cow is one
of the interesting features of the ca
thedral. 1t stands on the northwest
turrett of the chapel of the nine al
tarS.
The cathedral was designed as half
church, half castle against the Scot.
1t was during the reign of Henry
VIII, | think, that the cathedral was
used as a prison for Scottish prison
ers. They wreaked great havoc on
the church interior during their stay
there. This has since been entirely
restored except for the stained glass
art work in many of the windows
which were destroyed and could not
be renewed as they were originally.
other and perhaps more beautiful de-
signs take their places. The building
as 1t now stands is completely pre-
served. 1t is considered as one of the
grandest in England and the leading
type in pure Norman style.

LONDON MIRRORS
WHOLE WORLD IN
DANCING MANIA

LONDON-London, they say, is
dancing mad If this is true, then the
whole world is dancing mad; for the
London of these after-war years, more
than any other capital, is a mirror of
the civilized world.
To discover the truth of this, it is
only necessary to visit one OF Lon
don's mammoth dance palaces any
night of the week. The idea will soon
be dispelled that London exists by the
endeavors of gentlemen from beyond
Tweed competing more or less sue
cessfully with little men from beyond
Jordan.
Nowhere else is there so great a pro-
fusion of types, racial, facial, voca-
tional, sartorial, as in these oval
hallas" of the sociologist.
Here is the aboriginal Englishman,
in the person of a gallant corporal of
the Bluffs, tripping his measure with
sturdy English lass, "the world for
getting"
Oddly Sorted Couples.
Here are pasty-faced boys and pref
ty shingled girls whom youth makes
so fair and passion for dancing so
pale.
Here is a group of Oxford trousered
men, wearing ties of famous schools,
famous colleges, rising young sur
geon among them. Here an octogena-
rian who for a sixpence is snatching
crowded minute of glorious life as he
joys around with a slim, shingled
partner" No one has brushed his
dinner jacket. No loving hands have
helped him with his tie.
Then there are Jews, many Jews,
stragglers from the vast army that
nightly tricks westward across London
on pleasure bent. They glide and sway,
with perfect balance, on feet that twist
this way and that The Jew is born
dancer.
Indian i'm Latest Toys.
There is an Indian, a student from
Bloomsbury, most likely, his neat fig
ure clad in Saville rows latest. Slow
ly he PAGES the promenade, that side
of the great hall lined with chairs,
where he may choose his partner, if
she will have him. He is sauve in ask
Ing, Indifferent to rebuff.
A little Japanese, swinging past the
band stand in perfect harmony with a
tiny English lady, comes in collision
with a dark-skinned half-caste and
moves not muscle.
A Negroes smile gives a glimpse of
flashing gold.
Even young America is there, COM
p1ete with "tux" and horn-rimmed
spectacles.
So the pageant passes, while above
in the balcony man in immaculate
evening dress, with the face of poet
whispers to girl with the face of an
angel, perhaps whispers of the king
doms of the world, as they both look
down

OCTOBER RAIN

And now the naples flaunt their fam
ing leaves
And mist has smoked the far hills
family blue,
The cold gray rain still drips from
sagging caves
Which cover empty nests-the swal-
lows flew
But yesterday and now a thin
wind weaves
A pattern of frail branches, passing
thru
The frightened birches; moss the clos
er cleaves
Against it's weathered rock since
that wind blew
The smolder of the trees it not yet
quenched
Tho rain has fallen long. My heart
is wrenched
Because know their time is al
most come!
cannot bear the thought of dead
white snow
And cry, Such color must not, can
not go!"
And yet 1 know their time is all
but come. -.

bushels and the forecast of spring
wheat is 282,000,000 bushels, making
the total wheat crop 697,00O,00O
bushels compared with 70O,OOO,OOO
bushels forecast last month and $751;
100000 bushels produced last year.
Other yields are: Oats 100000

to friend But lately has this con-
versation come to light. 1t is as fol-
lows:
"For a long time" President Wills
son told this confidant, II was unable
to make up my mind whom we might
have to fight, after all. 1t was diff
cult to determine which the American
public regarded as worst-Britfsh
navalism or Prussian militarism. My
decision finally turned on this point,
towit: Seized ships and cargoes
could be paid paid for in money, leav-
ing everybody satisfied. But the Amer
lean lives which the Prussian govern
ment was sacrificing in it's submarine
campaign never could be paid for or
restored, and in making choice Of
the two evils I had to come to the
conclusion that Prussian m1l1tar1sm
was the worse"
From that, the war president turned
to the frantic efforts the allied pow
ers had made to hasten the effective
forces of the United States to the bat
tie line.
"It was after Coughs fifth army had
been annihilated before Amiens," said
Mr.. Wilson, "and the German armies
we're pouring through a gap toward
the English channel, piercing the al
lied resistance like the prov of a
powerful ship pushing through still
water. They came to me with tears
in their eyes-these ambassadors in
Washington. I do not use this term
figuratively but literally. The tears
actually rolled down the cheeks of
these ambassadors as they told me all
was lost unless we hurried our forces
and won the war for them. The Brit
ish ambassador i'm particular (the late
Sir Cecil Spring Rice) threw out his
arms in a despairing gesture and
mOaned:
"If you are coming at all, for Gods
sake come quickly We came," con-
tinued the president to his cOnfidant,
'and now they want to discuss who
won the war. [ shall make this plain
to Lloyd George and Clemenceau.
America won this war for them. But
America doesn't necessarily need to
| help them make an old-fashloned
peace. I already hear that they want
to make an old world peace on the
basis of the balances of power and
then later attempt peace of the
world for the future. In other words,
| they want to make peace Tor tnelr
own selfish ends and then, having done
that, rise from the table and say,
Now, gentlemen, we will discuss the
League of Nations business at some
later time And that time, of course,
will never come. They will under
stand from the first that will have
no part in that business. They will
make guarantees for the peace of the
future or they will make peace with
out America. And if we make this
peace we will so intertwine the prin-
ciple of the League of Nations with
it's terms that no man will be able to
accept one without the other"
What America got out of the war is
question. The other victors profited
we'll. We wanted nothing else than
world peace and security. Secondar-
lily, perhaps, little gratitude and
appreciation from the nations we
saved and a hope that our unself1sh
counsels would not go unheeded.
That we realized none of our OBJ
iectives and that neither France nor
England comedies the full value of our
contribution while Germany blames us
for her failure seems to be the reward
usually accorded peacemakers.

The Americans
Do Not Hate.


In Europe the writer noted one re-
grettable thing-the hatred held by
one nation against another. Appar-
emily they are so close they CANNOT
see virtues-only faults, real or INA
gined, stand out. The English hate
the Germans and call them all sorts
of harsh names. And without the
least doubt the Germans return the
compliment with interest.
During the war, the American peo-
pie, an easy-going, sociable set of
folks, had to be whipped into a white
hatred in order to make them want to
fight. Perhaps it had to be. In any
event, as the president said in a recent
address, hatred is destructive and be-
longs to a destructive process like
war.
But good will and tolerance are con-
structive They belong to peace
which is a constructive process. The
best thing we can say for the mass of
our countrymen is that they are poor
haters and do not despise any man
because of his race, color or faith.
And because of this one thing, their
inability to hate, the Americans are
the greatest people on earth. We say
this in all humility but we believe
it is so.
Hatred is narrowing. 1t is born of
fear and malice. He who hates loses
always. Loses friends, confidence,
good will and peace of mind. He suf-
fers far more than the often innocent
object of his i'll will.
