Man’s capacity to work or war depends upon the power he can apply to the task. The demand for ships, food, clothing, munitions or transport is but a call for power. Leisure, edu- E cation, progress wait upon power. Man’s tools today draw their strength from the energy of heat and falling water, not from the muscles of men or animals.

FALL OF STATUE ENDS HUN LUCK Quaint Legend of Atvert Madon- na, Distorted by Germans, — Has Sequel. 4 = TRICK OF PARISH PRIEST When Virgin of Albert Was Dethroned the Huns From Being Truculent Conquerors Were Forced to Knees in Submission. ao London.—All the world knows the story of the Madonna which was dis- lodged by German shell fire from its perch on the tower of the parish church at Albert during the first mad rush of the Huns through France in 1914, The statue did not fall, nor was it greatly damaged, but the base was so shattered that it hung precariously over the main road from Amiens to Bapaume, which passes under the very walls of the beautiful old church, For some reason, when the red tide of war swept westward through Albert, the Hun did not complete the destruc- tion of the tower, and the statue still maintained its strange poise after the invaders had been rolled.back at the battle of the Marne, if Days of Great Hope. ) Those were the days of great hope. France was fighting with skin and de- termination, ° Britain was steadily*in- creasing her small but wonderful army, and the Russians: were advanc- ing almost: at ‘a gallop through East Prussia. In fact, there were optimists who thought Germany would ‘sue for peace before. Christmas—Christmas, Some hint of the trend of popu- lar thought was given by the quaint conceit which grew upjin the hearts of the people, namely, that ‘when the Vir- gin of Albert fell (as fall she must, In the opinion of all who saw the statue) the war would end in a victory for France and her allies. But the war did not end, nor did the statue fall, and the opposing armies settled down to nearly four years of trench war fare, with the odds greatly in favo of the Hun, and success constantly at: ending his efforts and those of his ill omened helpers, the, Turks. The Germans, who certainly neve: miss a point in their. efforts. to under. mine’ their opponents’ ‘morale, ‘seizec on the legend. Varying it to suit thei purpose they spread the story far ané wide that when the statue fell France would-lose the war.

At last, during’ those black days of last March and April, the seemingly impossible hap- pened. The British line bent before the fury of a German assault, aided as it was by long-continued fog, and the Hun was once again in Albert. When the British retired the statue was still intact, but, whether by ac- cident or design fs not yet known, the Germans brought down the tower, and with it fell the virgin and child, And here comes the strange part of the story, to which latest development public attention is now directed- for the first time. Hardly a yard. farther did the German advance progress. From that day onward the green- gray hordes were pressed back, slowly at first, but with an ever-increasing ce- lerity which finally, developed to a rout. x In a word the luck of the Huns deserted them when the Virgin of Al- bert was dethroned. From beifg the truculent conquerors of nearly all Eu- rope they were forced to their knees whining for mercy. The foregoing facts cannot be gainsnid. Viewed in retrospect they form one of the most curious and interesting episodes of the greatest of all wars.
