He is compared with Shakespeare, even by his enemies. He was born in Ghent and received his cducation at the university in his na- tive city. With an independent for- tune, he determined in early years to «devote his life to poetry. English and -smerican cities knew little about Maeterlinck until his| “Princess Ma- lerne” had been translated into English end Beerbolm Tree had introduced “L'Intruse” to a London audience un- der the title of “The Intruder.” Then it was that the English-speaking world went wild over Maeterlinck.

Custer Post No. 5, of Miles City, Mont., is feeling pleased with the finan- cial and social success of a dance that crowded two halls in Miles City. With the aid of the canteen conducted by the . Red Cross the dance netted over $100. ; . s. Only five weeks old, but with a mem- bership of over a hundred. The Flem- ington (N. J.) Post No, 150 is proud of this record.

If there is no ship at the other end of the plank, says the post correspondent, so much the better. cee Two hundred members of Thomas Hopkins Post No. 1 of Kansas volun \teered during the coal strike to go into |the mines and dig coal, in order to off- set as much as they could the serious shortage of fuel.

German miners, recognizing the criti- cal Situation in’ Germany due to coal shortage, have yoted to work extrald hours seven days a week from now till March in order to increase production. In 1910, says thc New York Evening | Post, a locomotive repair shop in Ger- jnany, where 417 laborers were in serv- Jice, delivered 484 locomotives a week. jAfter the armistice the numbers of workers increased to 1.187, but the number of locomotives repaired fell to 411. In April of this year there was a further increase of workers to 1,253, but the output of locomotives fell to 353. . eo. The house military committee favors the enlistment in the army in peace times of non-English speaking inhabi- tants of this country. Under present conditions, Indians who cannot speak or write English are the only illiterates admitted to the Army. But in the war, almost a quarter of the men who came linto the service thru the draft were unable to read or write English. eee } NO MINORITY MEETINGS | The solidity, sanity and temperance of the American Legion as manifested |not only by its national convention but | thru the actions of its local posts thru the land, continue to be the subject of favorable comment by the public and public press. Everywhere the prac- tical idealism and unexampled Amer- icanism of the united men and women who were in service have impressed themselves irradicably on the public mind. That this merited impression shall persist it is only necessary that the Legion continue as it has. been, which means that every Legion mem- ber must, keep up interest in his local post and make regular attendance at is the danger | when they secure it.
