SAW COSSACK AT HIS BEST Writer Waxes Enthusiastic Over Camp of Tired Men, “Soldiers to the i Manner Born.” ' . I¢'you have read “Farus Bulba,” Go- gol's story of the Cossack, then you will' know what I mean when 1 say that last night I had a chance to see 3 peal picture of the-Cossack, writes William V. Duyncan in the Yale Re- view..: It was at synset when over the tops of the white birches the heavens fooked as if on fire, while fo the right the clouds were like waves rolling over 4 Sea of pink. I heard a shout, “The Cossacks are coming,” and through the - opening in the woods rode these lovers ©f war. The horse and the rider are one; both were tired, but there was something that told you that if the dugle had blown all .the tiredness ‘would have fallen away. They are soldiers to the manner born, War i3 life .%o them.. If a thing is worth having 4t is worth -fighting for. Even when they gathered in groups around the <common pails and borrowed one an- - othier’s spoons to eat the common’ meal théir besring was that of soldiers. Pigs can feed from a trough and you #0 Away disgusted, but when you see “theseé fellaws back from a fight, delv- ing Into, their mess, you stand to ad- . mire. Their leader was fully six feet seven. Inches tall, with a beard that}- #31d he. was Russian of the Russians. All, were well-formed, strong men, hardened to the out of doors. Their es- <helon was not there, so they made themselves at home for the night on the ground. It was a sight to remem- Wer as our'tmin pulled out of from the station; those Cossack groups around the fire, singliig the songs of war in which their spirits revel. ‘.I)WE APPLE TREES TO FRANCE " Ganadians Got Thelr First Sheots Froim . & Nebleman Who Was Aaseciated ! .

A French nobleman named De Monts was asso- ted with Samuel de Champlain in nce's éarliest colonizing projécts kT of North America. Thelr first :%lsny was planted on the rocky island ‘of 8.

Look you, & whilé sgo was the light bright about us; but it was bécause of thie mdoni, and the night wsis déep not withstanding, and when the moonlight waned and died and there was but s little glimmer in place of the bright light, yét was the world glad because all things knew that the gliriner was of day and not of night.

Their chief duty Is to act as gate keepers of the inner, or women's pal- ace at Bangkok. They follow any stranger who enters the palace and remain with him until he takes his departure. They see:that ~there is no mischief made and that no one makes love to the royal wives and women. Men who have business inside the palace—doctors, architects, car- penters, electriclans, etc.—enter the palace freely, but are always accom- panied by some of the amazon guard. The palace has some difficulty fh re cruiting these guards, as the work is hard, the pay poor and the qualifica- tion uncomplimentary.

Boys to Repel Foes, Plea of Bishop wASmNGmN.—Pertectlon of American citizenship, development of Amer fcan manhood, and a mighty force for the maintenance of peace will follow the adoption of universal military and vocational training by the United g . 8tates, declared Bishop Samuel Fal- lows of Chicago recently before the house military affairs committee. Sim- lar views were expressed by H. H. Gross, president of the Universal Military Training league, who also ap- ' peared before the committee. Both Bishop Fallows and Mr, Gross told of the great recent growth - Of sentiment among the people of the ~ middle West for the adoption of this : system for development of the youth. Bishop Fallows was a,colonel in the Otvil war. “The lack of preparedness and training during the Civil war was alarming,” he said. “Scarcely any of them had any kind of training un- til almost at the end of the war. They were sent to the front with ten or fifteen days' training. : “I have been told that some of our men in this latest war were sent to the front with 30 to 60 days’ training. A slaughter of men resulted.” Asked whether universal tralning would lead to “militarism,” the bishop replied to Representative Kahn: 8 “No. Militarism is rule by soldlers in authority. There is not the slight est danger that this nation-will be ruled by the military power.” BREAK LIGHTED MATCHES | BoY HANGED HIMSELF BEFORE THROWING AWAY | 010 wiiie -fim« the New (By United Press.)
