FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1921 Gas Buggies—Big events in little men’s lives TWO DOLLARS | | SURE - BUT WEEK LATER- THEY AINT WHERE THE DICKENS ARE THOSE PLIERS-T IlL TAHE ANOTHER « CHANCE ON FINDING %'EM IN THE CAR WORLD HEARS NEWS QUICKLY But One Hundred Years Ago the Horse Was the Only Means of “Rapid” Communication. A few hours after Caruso died the civilized world knew of it and was in mourning. A hundred years ago Napoleon died, on May 5, 1821—and it was exactly sixty days before the world received the news, the New York Evening Post states. Though the English were expecting his death at any moment and had made every preparation to have word trans- mitted from St. Helena to England with all possible dispatch, it wus not until July 4, that the news reached ! London, having been brought there by the safling vessel Heron. In accor- dance with the spirit of the times, the message was not given out on the arrival of the vessel, but was first con- veyed to the colonial office, an act which required approximately hours in itself. July 4, 1821, fell on Wednesday. On Friday, July 6, the news reached Paris. Messengers were dispatched from Paris to Germany, where the newspapers commented on the death of “General Ronaparte” for che first time on July 12, sixty-eight days after the event had taken place. And this notice was in a paper published at Mayence, then virtually a French town. The Vossische Zeitung, founded in 1704 and then, us now, the leading German daily, contained no notice of Napoleon’s death until July 14, and then it merely copied the London Times. Private Individuals living in the provinces, regardless qf their station In life, received the news much later. It was not convéyed to Goethe, then living at Weimar, until the very last_of July. He received it in a letter bearing a black seal. DEVOTED TO BRITISH CROWN People of the Island of Jersey Have for Centuries Been Proud of Their Loyalty. There 1s no part of the king's do- minfons which has shown a more ac- tive devotion than the island of Jer- sey. The true Jerseyman still regards the king as the successor of the dukes of Normandy. Jel elected to re- main under the English crown in the relgn of John, when the rest of Nor- mandy reverted to France. Tt supported the Royallst cause dur- ing the Civil war and harbored Charles II when he was in exile; It banished Victor Hugo because of some slighting remarks ot his about Queen Victorla, and durlng the late war it passed its own military service act, for which there was very little need. Moreover, not once nor twice in this rough island story has armed In- “vasion by the French been success- fully resisted. The last occaslon was in 1781, when the Jerseymen, although gurprised and outnumbered and desert- ed by their own governor, who was preparing to capitulate, defeated the enemy In a most sanguinary battle, fought in the roval square of St Heller.—London Mall.
