Get First View of Battlefields.
Veterans" in the American Legion
convention here have been anxious to
have their first look at the battle
fields of which they have heard so
much and special sightseeing trips
have been arranged. But considera-
bic difficulty has been encountered in
finding the battlefields.
Hundreds of legionnaires returning
to Paris after long journeys in Bally-
hoo buses, are heard airing their
voices in the bitter complaint that all
traces of the late war have utterly
disappeared.
The geography is unchanged, but
all the towns, once torn by shells,
have been rebuilt, and the fields which
ten years ago were network of fox
holes and trenches, have but recently
yielded an abundant harvest of grain.
Missed Whole War.
Trips following the famous Sois-
sons drive through the st. Mihiel sec
tor of the Argonne gave the legion
naires more vistas of waving grain
and pastoral peace than could be
found on a journey through some
prosperous farming section of In
diana.
Concrete evidences of the ravages
of the war are available only around
Verdun, Rheims and Ypres, purposely
unrepaired by the French govern
ment, and these places have COM
paratively small interest for Ameri-
can soldiers who did not participate
in the fighting in that region.

WAR
IN VATICAN over
French ROYALIST
Cardinal BillOt Bounced
By State Secretary

ROME, Sept. 21.-The recent res
ignation of Cardinal Billot from the
cardinalate and his retirement to the
role Of jesuit monk in a monastery,
continues to provide sensation in
catholic circles here.
Reports that the cardinals resigna-
tion was inspired by the vatican's at
titude toward the French royalist
catholic newspaper, Action Francaise,
are generally accepted here as being
correct. II
The newspaper Popolo Di Roma to-
day stated that Billot, while not ems
dorsing the attitude of Action Fran
caise, thought the newspaper should
be treated lightly by the vatican. His
purpose was to avoid forcing Leon
Daudet, French royalist leader and
editor of Action Franchise, and other
royalist leaders, into open revolt. The
newspaper said Billot was supported
in this view by the Holy College and
the Holy Office.
The newspaper said Billot even
went so far as to criticize the action
of Cardinal Gasparri for having dis
regarded the opinion of the Holy Col
lege.

SHANGHAI, (By MaiD.-A revo-
lutionary division has been formed in
the northeast of the province of
Human composed of a number of
regular detachments and the armed
peasant bands which are active in
this district The division is march
ing on Changsha, the capital of
Human. According to the last reports
the revolutionary troops have taken
Pinghsiang which is the centre of the
coal mining industry and an impor
tant strategetical point. Simultan-
eously the Wuhan press reports that
a division Of Tang Shen-shi's troops
has been disarmed in the northeast of
Human by armed troops of peasants
and that the latter have occupied two
districts in the south of the province
of Hupei. The armed peasants have
also taken Kung-hsien. The Hong
kong correspondent of the Toho agen-
cy reports that the troops of Cen
erals Ho Lung and Yeh Ting which
have risen against the Wuhan gov
ernment, have turned up together
with armed peasants in Meikiang and
Tchiaonansi in the north of the
Kwangtung province near the pro-
vince of Fukien. The revolutionary
troops have cut the telegraph wires
between Meikiang and Swatow and
broken railway connections between
Chohow (40 kilometres to the north

Current Euents
By T. J. 0'FEGhsrty

T'HERE is nothing between England
and the United States but the best
of good fellowship if we are to take
seriously the speeches made at ban
quets of the Sulgrave Institute and
at meeting of the English Speaking
Union. Nevertheless it is well to take
speeches of this sort with stiff pinch
of salt. The truth can be dragged out
by the scruff of the neck from be-
tween the lines of official statements
and news dispatches. Those who hunt
for the truth with an open mouth are
liable to get their throats clogged
with propaganda. A horse drinks
water thru gritted teeth. News should
be sifted thru skeptical screen.
OFF the coast of British Honduras,
v in Central America, is group of
coral and mangrove islands called
Turneffe, commanding the harbor Of
Belize, capital of British Honduras.
This is the nearest British base to the
Panama Canal. Tho the British flag
flies over Turneffe an American citi-
zen has lease on the islands and has
an option to purchase them at a re-
ported price Of $65,000. The option
expires at the end of next October. A
British commission composed of mill
tary and naval experts is now in
Turneffe and no doubt the Hoboken
cocoanut importer, the American citi-
zen referred to, can realize handsome
ly on his lease and still have his CO.
coanuts if he puts business before
patriotism. And il he does not, we
do not know our cocoanuts.
T'IIIS little bit of information CLEANED
from a single-column tale buried
away in the recesses Of a 62-page
newspaper throws more light on the
relations between Great Britain and
the United States than a perfumed
speech delivered by knickered Amer
lean diplomat at London banquet
presided over by the Prince of Wales.
The world struggle between England
and the United States is a struggle
over lands where oil derricks stab the

 Patriots Day

Boston, April 19 P,-This city to- day celebrated Patriots Fay.
 It was lpangurated last night vii h a historic cercmony in Old North church. There. Miss Harriet Ian- cock Newman, granddaug ghter and last direct descendant Of Sexton Robert Newman, once more flashed the double signal which on the night of April IS, 1715, dispatched Paul Revere on the famous ride that warned sleeping countryside of the coming redcoats.
 A moon, full as when Revere rowed across the Charles, looked down on the venerable old balcony, but instead Of the ripping tide flats that adjoned the church in that far distant year. Miss Newman looked down upon a crowded tene- ment district and heard q ploygot babble Of tongues from the throng that watched.
 In the editice, with it's quaint, high-walled peWS, were gathered representatives Of scores Of families whose names made revolutionary history--tho Reveres, the Conants, the Phillips. the Adams and others.
 The chimes that softly pealcd an accompaniment 10 the service were the same bells that proclaimed the repeal Of the stamp act in 1776 and blared forth the news of Cornwallis' equalization in 17St.
