UNPLEASANT LADY TO MEET In Greek Mythology, Mere Sight of Medusa Turned the Beholder Into Stone. The Gorgons were three monstrous females who figure to some extent In Greek mythology, particularly the Gorgon Medusa, who was slain by the great hero Perseus. She was original- 1y a beautiful girl whose hair was her prncipal charm, but she dared to vie in beauty with Minerva, and the re- sentful goddess changed her form in revenge. She had enormous swine-like teeth, sharp claws and, instead of hair, a head of live serpents. Her as- pect was so frightful that the sight of her turned beholders to stone, and her cave was surrounded by the petri- fisd forms of men and animals which had chanced to catch sight of her. by King Polydectes of Seriphus. As he enjoyed the favor of Minerva and Mercury, thede two delties afdéd’ him in his enterprise, Minerva lendfiig him her shield and Mercury his winged sandals. :’ approached the Gorgon while she«?cpt and, taking care not to look di ectly 't her, but gulded by her image reflected in the polished shield, cnt off her hend and gave It to mner\u "Ne Bibles” In Demand. When {the first English Bible was being published, after the King James trinslation in 1611, a typographical error crept into a verse of the third chapter of Ruth, verse 15, so that it read, “and he went Into the city.” Quite a number of copies- of the pon- derous volume had been issued before the _error was discovered and the missing “s” prefixed to make “he” into “ghe.” Comparatively few of the first edition Bibles are now in existence, for most of them were chained in the churches and literally read to shreds. Of those that are left, the “he Bibles” ‘ are naturally in greatest demand by collectors, says the Detroit News, S Perseus was sent to destroy her !

Through stormy times they fought, And now they lie In p. “Allez! Allez! Les Boches!” cried the French territorials streaming back through the Second division of the American army, which had-just come forward in support and relief. “Fly! Fly! The Hun!” they shouted. “Retreat, h—I1! We have just come, Let the Boche retreat!” called back an officer of the American forces as he and his men rushed forward. It ‘was May in France, 1918, records Clara Whiteside in the Philadelphia Ledger. The French line from Sols- sons to Reims paralleled in a general way the line of the ancient road. Chemin des Dames, and the French defenses were so strong that the war- worn gallant French armies were using middle-aged men known as territorials to hold this part of the line. Perhaps because of this, and also to make an effort to split the French and English armlies, the Germans made a great at- tack on this sector at the end of May, and in five days had driven back the French to open country, following the great half circle of the Marne, which the Germans crossed at Dormans on the east side of the salient at Chateau Thierry and at Belleau. There were no trenches and no fortificatlons so far back from the fighting front, and the war was again in the open. Foreseeing the purpose of the German army to enter a wedge between the allied armies, Marshal Foch selected American troops to stop this advance, which at Les Meres farm and at Chateau Thierry had reached the nearest point to Paris—37 miles—since the previous advnnce in 1914, Heroism Commonplace.:«, The Second American divis! ul.hnd Just taken, that part of the line i the neighborhood of Bellean, while ; Dor- mans and Chateau Thierry the First and Third were holding back the*Hun. Rocks and crags hid the enemy’s ma- chine guns, but in the early part of the engagement the French were vir- tually without artillery. protectign. and.| were fighting a.hand-to-hand action to stop the Germans untjl help leould come. In the fighting of May: and. early June, 1918, the American troops were' without supports and reserves, but_the indiyldual Initiative was re- markable. - Herolsm was a 0n- place of flw ‘American aoldler fic— tion. “We need supplies, gas masks, Wlm’ll volunteer?” “I'll go!” promptly nnswered a young sergeant of the marines. His offer was accepted. He had an almost uncanny sense of direction, ard no one in the company possessed a bet- ter knowledge of wood lore, All his summers had been spent in the open, and these playtimes of earller days had developed qualitfes that now stood him in good stead. The playtime of the child had become the opportunity of the man. Creeping cautiously through the un- derbrush, he reached the shelter of the tvooeds, only to find ‘that he had stumbled on a quarry and a camp of more than sixty German soldiers. Trembling with excitement, he rushed forward. “Surrender!” he shouted. “The whole American army is behind me!” Surprised, bewildered, the men marched out, under cover of the hold- up, and were brought prisoners’ Into the American line. _One of the majors in the Second division ‘wrote In June, 1918, of the death In action of this ‘marine: “He was killed in the Bols de Belleau by a shell near where my command post was, shortly after bringing his captain out, who had been wounded In an attack we were mak- Ing: The day before he went into a quarry and brought out 60 Germans as prisoners, single-handed. Such an act speaks for itself.” It was by this spirit these men -fought, and because of this spirit these men won. It was a dearly bought victory, but it stopped the German ‘objective, and the enemy never again ;won a victory or made another drive. Many States Share Glory.

In Washington, in Jupe, 1921, the plan of the Belleau Wood Memorial association to rebufld the town of Bel-, leau by popular subscription was launched. The Belleau Woods Me- moral assoclation thinks it better to rebuild “a house that has echoed a baby's laugh and held up its stumbling feet,” ‘better to put a ! “home’s loving wooden around a man and his wife, i arms ithan to erect a shaft of marble cold ‘to the sky in ry of our dead. The national commlitfed hapes to ralse '§800,000 and with this money rebuild the little town of Belleau shattered by our boys in their advance on Belleav ‘wood, The plan is to rebuild the village as it was, with the addition of a better ‘church, school, and with an adequate .water supply; the supervision will be in the hands of Col. Charlés R. Forbes, |’uf¥eétor of the Veterans’ bureau, who served in the A. B. F. and who is: & noted engineer in: civil life. Bvery cent raised will go Into the rebuilding wemorial, as the organizing expenses are being borne by a small group of ‘contributors, The names and ad- dresses of every contributor will be preserved in the archives of the rebuilt “Marie,” or city hall. Eighty-two stone buildings are to be restored, as well as a group of small farms on the hill- side. The French government has promised to have all roads put into condition as their contribution, and it will be guarded by our boys who lie silent in the little green-and-white cemetery just across the wa Homes Must Be Rebuilt. In time nature will restore to I'rance her trees and flowered loveliness, but neither tinie nor nature can rebuild shattered homes. Those of us who have not been intimately touched by the horrors of war or the. cruelty of sudden overwhelming separation from those we love can only approximate the sadness in the llves of those about us who have not been so fortunate. Many a mother's heart is buried and her enthusiasm deadened. It is only through some practical memorial that her interests can be roused and re- awakened. The fleld of honor at Belleau will he the permanent Aisne-Marne cemetery, “where a shining forest of snow-white crosses will stand as sentinels over the mortal remains of 6,000 of our boys.” The organization for this me- morial to our dead has its headquar- ters in Washington, with Marshal Foch chairman for France, John W. Weeks, honorary president. The pre: ident is Mrs. James Carroll Frazer, vice president of the Navy League of the United States, and Vice President Coolidge as a member of the national committee.

Mrs. Reath revisited France last summer and went over all the ground in the neighborhood of Bellenu. At Les:'Mores farm she made the ac- quaintance of a young Frenchman who had been severely wounded at the Bat- tle of the Marne. “He had witnessed the advance of the American troops,” suld Mrs. Reath, “and his account was so graphic and bore such testimony to the truthfulness of the American cor- “respondents who had covered the nd- vance of the American army in 1918 and described the troops in action at Belleau, that T feel I should tell It to you as he told it to me. ““Those men were magnificent, ma- _dnlue' They had taken off their coats “and had pinned to their shirts a pop- py. As they rushed forward they yelled, and, madame, as they fired— the Germans went hipity hop! hipity hop.! This was the only English word that Frenchman knew, but it was the most expressive English word I have ever heard. It does seem incredible that our boys should have been so careless with their lives," continued Mrs. Reath, “but I have no reason to doubt the truth of the man's word, especlally as It corroborated the ac- count of our own correspondents at the time.” This memorial at Belleau Is to be established to those boys—our boys; to their idealism ; to thelr herolsm that _brooked no barrler. It is to be a we- morial that will give to the people of this part of France a practical expres- sion of the good-will of the American people as well as a national tribute to the men whose “souls shall be where ‘the heroes are” and whose memory ghall “shine like the morning stur.” Kerasund, City of Romance.
