Either 1 was particularly fortunate or others are particularly fastidious. The guide who showed me the Holy 8epuichre in Jerusalem was not par ticularly noisy or profane or palpa bly mercenary; he was rather more or less sympathetic than the same sort of man who might have shown me Westminster abbey or Stratford- on-Avon. * He was a small, solemn, owlish old man, se far from deserving the charge of not knowing the Bible, he deserved rather a gentle remonstrance against bls assumption that nobody else knew it If there was anything to smile at, in associations so sacred, it was the elaborate simplicity with which he told the first facts of the Gospel story, as if he were evangelizing a savage. Anyhow, he did not talk like a cheap jack at a stall, but rather like a teach er in an infant school. He made It very clear that Jesus Christ was crucified. In case anyone should suppose he was beheaded; and often stopped In his narrative to re peat that the hero of these events was Jesus Christ, lest we should fancy it was Nebuchadnezzar or the duke of Wellington. 1 do not In the least mind being amused at this, but I have no reason whatever for doubting that he maj have heen n better man than I.

Mr. Holies has appealed to the De partment of Justice to ascertain the facts in the case and proposes, If the report is true, to see that the man is apprehended, expelled from the Le gion and brought to a speedy trial. Bergdoll has been the target of nu merous attacks of the American le gion. When he "escaped" from prison a reward of $500 was offered for his capture and a numhur of Legion posts in many parts of the country took similar action to bring about his cap ture. fine post adopted resolutions urging the President to demand the release of the two Americans who tried tn recover Bergdoll In Germany. » •LEGION« «Copy tor ThU D«?<rttu«ac HupplUd lbs American l.e«u»n News Service ) LEGION MEN IN HOSPITALS Ons-Thlrd Ex Service Boys in Institu tion* Ar* Member* of the Great Organization. 514 J STREET WK ALU 11H HAVE ON II INI» I LARGE MT im ’K OF Grain, Flour, Feed and Seed« Il\m < IIICK m H IK II WITH GREEN PE 18 ItAin < Illi Is NIANII WITH II I TTERMII.K EGG PIIOOI t i lt WITH III TTEILMIIJC O VTH OATS N Process Rolled Barley-Special —With bcnril» cut off, n good tiretti fresi.
