THE ECLIPSE.
IT "WAS in tho .sixteenth rwitury that Copernius dis
covered that planet revolved ahout the sun and
Bolved the mystery of the eelipse although tho Arabian
astronomers had made the same discovery but kept it se
cret to increase their power by utilizing the phenomena to
mystify the ignorant.
Copernius was a Polish astronomer, born in 1473 and
educated at the university of Cracow and afterwards at
Padua. A skilled physician, a scholar of note, and famed
as a mathematician, he found lime in a busy life to elabor
ate an entirely new system of astronomy, by which. man's
outlook on the universe was fundamentally changed. .The
publication of Ida works was simultaneous with his death
from paralysis in 1543.
Although Copernius was a strict churchman and his
work Was dedicated to the pope, his book fell under Ihe
ban of the church and his followers were hurned at the
stake, in the effort to stamp out the "heresy." Jt conflict
ed with the established theological dogma, ere, the church
had learned to use science to harmonize and strengthen
religion.
Copernius enabled us to predict to a fraction of a
second for centuries in advance all eclipses. lie enabled
us to prepare in advance for .Saturday's phenomena, with
its 50-mile wide belt of totality and its semi-totality strip
of 100 miles. He lifted humanity out of the blackness of
the eclipse of knowledge by superstition and ignorance.
Copernicus lived in a time when the world was torn by
bloody, fratricidal religious struggle, when under the
name of Christ Kurope was decimated and made a human
slaughter house even as she is now in behalf of the same
medieval superstition that Copernicus labors did so much
to banish.
.It was to perpetuate feudal dogma, captained by au
tocracy, religious and civil, for the upbuilding of decadent
dynasties, that Kurope plunged into the maelstrom of the
.'50 years war. It is also in behalf of medieval dogma, the en
thronement of a dynasty, that the world is now deluged in
blood and horror.
Over the central empires there spreads the ebony black
belt of a total eclipse of democracy, shutting off the sun
light; of human liberty. No instruments are needed to
study its corona it is plainly visible to tho. entire world.
The discoveries and sciences made possible by the work
of Copernicus have been prostituted to restore the ruthless
reign of barbarism, that feudal might may again brutally
bestride the world as a Frankenstein of fri'ghtf ulness.
But this Ifun eclipse whose shadows blacken the world
as it crimsons the soil, will pass as all eclipses pass. The
darkness will fade away leaving only the scars and bitter
memories of the awful dying convulsions of the old order
the passing of feudalism that has survived from the old
time into ours.
Camp Xo. 90 Woodmen of the
World has adopted tho following res
olution:
"Desiring that our sharo of wheat
shnll go to our soldiers und to the
women and children of Belgium,
Franco, Hugland and Italy, we pledge
that until tho next harvest wo will
abstain from wheat to tho utmost ox
tent possible. For thoso of us who
live In our own homes, this shall
mean that we will not uso more than
ono-lialf pound of wheat product per
week per person (whether as Hour In
bread or In cnlcos, cracker, macaroni,
or broakfnst food). For those of us
not living In our own homes, this
pledge shall mean that wo will avoid
all wheat products So tho utmost ox

of organization and observation, soon
there will be the active service along
the mountain and Plave fronts of
some 1500 officers and men of the
regular army medical service, with
thirty ambulance sections of ten or
twelve ambulances to the section, and
later oil there is the possibility, much
discussed, of American troops In the
fighting line. Already the American
uniform is much in evidence along
the streets, and there is a distant sen
timent of cordiality toward the troop-
era in the broad-brimmed sombrero.
Major Genoral Eben Swift, a cav
alry officer of long service, is at the
head of the American mission, lie
was for a time in France In confer
ence with General Pershing, and then
came with his staff to Rome and to
headquarters. With him as chief of
staff Is Colonel John A. Mc. Palmer of
the general staff corps, who was on
the general staff at Washington when
tlje constructive work on tho new
army was belhg done, and later was
one of Oeneral Pershing's chief staff
offlcera in France.
'Other officers of tho mission are
I.ieutonant-Colonol R. U. Patterson
of the army medical corps, Major
Paulos, engineer corps; Major Burgln
ordnance; Captains E. O. Hunter,
McKlnney and Morgan, aides-de-camp
to General Swift; Captain Winthrop
Chanler and Lieutenant E. C. Pom
eroy of the intelligence branch; Hor
ace Bigelow, secretary, and some
eight of ten enlisted men tor the
clerical work.
The American officers have been
well received and made to feel at
home. They share the mess with the
other foreign military missions which
includes a large number of British,
French, Belgian, Japanese, Serbian
and olher officers. ' As lulson officer
keeping the Americans in close touch
with the Italian military authorities,
the government designated Prince
Colonn, mayor of Rome.
