EWS of the Nation’s fighters in France has been of a kind this | week to thrill the hearts of Americans at home. The part Americans played in helping to block the latest German drive is acclaimed by all the Allies, The success of Ameri-| ean attacks in the Chateau-Thierry sector won the special praise of | French and British. American artillery distinguished itself. Ameri-) an markimanship is everywhere talked of. “American marines, who went into the fight singing and whistling “Yankes Doodle,” fought collectively and individually with a dash and a bravery that furnished a special series of heroic incidents. Ono marine with a prisoner in charge encountered two German officers and, ten men. The American with rifle and bayonet killed both officers’ and wounded seven of the others. Another marine, stunned by a! rifle blow and taken prisoner, rallied in time to land a knockout on his captor’s jaw and escape—back into the fight. This high appraisal of Americans in the test of battle is not merely the enthusiasm of correspondents. It is confirmed by sea goned Allied Generals and by military experts who have studied the lighting qualities of every nation’s troops. No riglt-minded American, however, will rejoice at America’s war pace in a spirit of boastfulness. No sensible American will brag. To any thinking man it is plain enough why the way this Nation's soldiers have borne theinselves in their first charge into the most terrific warfarg the world has ever soen evokes the!cheers of tho Allies, stiffening their courage, freshening their hope. These husky young Americans, whistling and singing as they push forward to grips with the enemy, are the advance guard and Fromise of that force—fresh, unwearied, confident—which is defi- nitely to turn the scales, Four years of heroic effort and endurance have put France and England beyond all rivalry, all thought of comparisons, In the great defense of civilization against a menacing militarism they have borne the brunt. Their sacrifices have been enormous, their burdens piled high, their losses terrible. Yet they have fought steadfastly on and held the enemy in check. | No wonder they hail with joy and relief the sight of Amendan| strength, with no war-weariness upon it, already hurling itself against! the German machine with something 6f their own first impetus. | For if France and England are war-worn, be it remembered that Germany and Austria are also worn—to desperation. | No fresh fighting power can come to the aid of Germany to coun- terbalance the weight of America on the Allied side. Ten million Ttussians forced to fight under the German flag could not equal half @ million Americans of the fibre of those who are now fighting not only with their bodies but with quick American brains and unyielding American wills to wreck once and for all the plans of the war lords. Be sure the latter also made their notes on how the Americans fight: “U boats to America to eink transports!” was the first order following German observation of American troops at the front. The Allied line, the German press now begins to tell the German public, must wait. Well, every week Germany waits means thousands more gingery young Americans in France—of the same brand as those who have! been making themselves felt in their parts of the -battle line these past seven days, The country is prond of them, prdud of what the experience himself on knowing every little wheel comman ts of Mench and British say in praise of them.

NO. 20.—GUY FAWKES and the “Gunpowder Plot.’* «NE Thomas Perey, in 1604, rented a gloomy old mansion. Coorright Percy was away from home much of the time, the house ia charge of his servant, a big, red-bearded man who called himself “Johnson.” London's police system in those days was prime itive, The streets were almost pitch dark at night and respectable folk went to bed early. Perhaps that is why no one noticed for a long time that Johnson was in the habit of admitting to bis master’s house groups of men who came there under cover of darkness an@ who carried heavy bundles on thelr backs. 4 England was ruled by King James 1, who was thick-headed and cruel and unpopular. The bulk of his Varliamept was almost as unpopular as the King himself. A conspiracy was formed to gq rid of the monarch and the whole body of legislators in one stroke, It was a very simple plot. And it came : within an ace of succeeding, as you shall see. At a certgin date King James was to drive in state to the Houses a Parliament and make a speech to the assembled delegates. The eon spirators hired the house next door and proceeded to dig @ mine under with many hundred pounds of gunpowder, When This mine they filled | | | to make his speech the fuse connecting with the kegs of gunpowder was to be lighted. James and Gunpowder Plot the explosion, te tala, Ing would be blown to atoms by the exp! the King should arrive ° | The spy chosen by the plotters (to act as Ge between for members of their group and to supers vise the work of mining the Houses of Parliament) was one Guido Wom, known to history as “Guy Fawkes.” Fawkes was a fanatic, a soldier of fortune, a born conspirator. ie] he entered upon his hazardous venture, posing as the servant of his conspirator, Percy, and taking the allas of Johnson, Fawkes wont at his task carefully and skilfully. His workers mined under the Percy house and came upon a subcellar that was directly undere neath the building which King James proposed to honor by his royal pres+ ence on the opening of Parliament. In this cellar Fawkes ranged his kegs ef powder, covering them with firewood and rubbish to prevent any chance visitor to the cellar from guessing at their presence, He then affixed to the powder a fifteen-minute fuse. When the King should enter Parliament it was arranged that Fawkes was to Light the fuse and then to make his own escape, The Gunpowder Plot failed for the same reason that so many conspire~ cies fail—because too many people were in the eecret. One of the peeple was a dear friend of Lord Monteagle, who was to be in Parliament on the day set for the explosion. He wrote an anonymous letter warning Monteagie to stay at home. Monteagle turned the anonymous warning over to the authorities, A search of the Houses of Parliament followed. On March 4, 1605, the might before the day set for the explosion—several searchers chanced to enter the cellar, There they found Guy Fawkes at work, They questioned him and examined the Fawkes te Caught i cellar, The gunpowder was found and Fawkes Red- Handed. was arrested. The Magistrate before whom the —9 prisoner was brought described Fawkes tn hip re« port as “a very tall and desperate fellow.” He had every reason to be des~ perate. There could be but one fate for him. Yet he kept an tron coolness cA manner, Taken before King James he freely confessed the plot but would not tefl the other conspirators’ names. “Why did you wish to kill us all?” demanded the scared King. “Dangerous diseases call for desperate remedies,” calmly replied Fawkes, Under torture of the most hideous sort he was at last made to tell his fellow-plotters’ names. Ii! and racked by torture he was dragged to trial and thence to execution along with six or seven of the Gunpowder Plot's prime movers. For centurtes afterwurd, every Nov. 5, the scene of Tawkes’s hanging was re-enacted by thousands of English children, who used to string up em effigy labeled “Guy Fawkes," and then set fire to It. he's what I call a But that’s no you; social undertaker. hour.” It was only 10 o'clock, but Mra, Jarr would have said “this bour’ had it been nine. “He sure was some ‘Gloom,'” re- |pled Mr, Jarr, ignoring the allusion fancied, ‘We stopped in Gus's a swer as to whether Harold would bay | 4 4) minute till I could send him on his | mournful way.” | “He may have stayed only a min- | ute, but you stayed an hour—yes, two hours,” said Mrs. Jarr. “I've been \time, and that man Rangle wasn't int 0 ” © more 1teMS | nome either when I left | He always required of every one und particulars as Pheirs i “Well, I guess you are not grieving el » fresh energy ¢ aie ie ‘ . ork!
