When congress lici'inittcd Americans to ai;ce)t foreign decorations for meritorious services in the battlefields, it let down the bars for feudal lilies bestowed by monarch who themselves are figureheads of democratic states survivals of decaying- feudalism. (leneral J'ershing and oilier Americans have been knighted by King (Jeorge in recognition of having deliver ed the goods, and in Jiritain anyways, are enti tled to the prefix "Sir." Jt would be discour teous to refuse the honor and the general has too much common sense to attempt to use it even if it did not jar on democratic ears. JJut tin; evident effort of royalty to perpetuate its prerogatives even in foreign democracies is in itcs1ionable taste. But what could be expected from it king whose court is in mourning for 1 lit? worst; tyrant of them till the Russian czar? The word knight means servant, military attendant or flillmvnr 111 (lwl.il tiliwu o l.-nio'lif wmu o momdeil man ot arms, serving it superior in return for a tenure of lantu! Litter, in chivalry, the knight was one, generally of noble birth, who after serving as page or squire, was admitted to special military rank "dubbed" by i'uedal superior with various ceremonies. Now knighthood is usually conferred in recognit ion of special merit. The "most" honorable" order of the Bath which was conferred upon Pershing, was established by (leorge I. in 17-5 a pretended revival of :m order supposed to have been created by King Henry IV. at his coronation in I! JIM). In LSI") it was recognized in three classes to eonuneniorate the close of the Napoleonic wars. "In 1847 the civil knights commanders and companions were .added. The members wear a. handsome badge, which varies according to rank, and il is purely an order of merit. At the same time that the United States permits citi zens to receive foreign titles, it strong effort is being made to democratize Canada and a bill, iauuehed by returned soldiers, i now before parliament against, the granting or honoring of titles in the Dominion. The movement is due to evidence tliat'politics is played to get lilies and wealthy war profiteers are making large donation to worthy move ments for the sole purpose of obtaining a title. Jt is also charged that titles are obtained by the purchase of the in fluence of party leaders, who use their best offices with the king lo obtain titles for their clients as they have in all t hue and ages. Titles are an empty honor in Canada but the recip ients usually leave for Kngland to claim a seat in the house of lords. They would be equally empty in America but ( would greatly delight the smart -set snobs. Jf it "sir" why not a "lord"?

Kelly of tho signal corps In France, dated July 14, JJastllu (lay, reads In part as follows: "Tills In the bis French holiday and the mayor and French officers aro to-glve ns a blow-out in about thirty minutes. Wo aro all dressed up for the occasion,' and 1 have clean ed up on tho work so as to havo a part of a holiday. Ja tho afternoon we are to have a ball game between tho field officers, of which 1 am one, and tho Junior officers. Tho adjutant general Is to pitch and 1 to catch for the field officers. He Is an old West Point star and wo are figuring on giving tho Juniors a run for tholr lives. It ought to he a great sight to soe a bunch at old stiffs like the field crowd getting limbered up into tho national game. Some of the colonels are old veterans of the Philippines, but game old ,boys and think they are young as ever. My but there will be a lot of sore arms and bones to morrow. This Is therefore a "Just before the Battle" letter. It looks like rain, but nothing hut a shower of cats and dogs will dampen the ardor of tho old sports. I'm sorry we can't givo you bulletins on this fight by rounds or innings, but I'll give you a running story of it after the game. "You know it's bo hard to find something to write about that isn't taboo that one welcomes most any sort of diversion that may be chron icled. Wo live a rattier humdrum life it's all work and mighty little play, but it's most interesting work and It all tends toward putting tho llocho out of business. We have one stock inquiry here on everything. "Will It help to lick the Ilochc?" tliafs tho watchword. The men are all the lamo way, they want to finish tho joti and get back homo and when tlioy get tho Hun on the run you can bet they won't let htnl get any breath. , "We havo junt taken another growth and there Is so very much lo do that wo don't think of much else but work. I wish I could tell you of all tho different lines of activity the signal corps has developed, but there Is no use in working the censor, he bus enough to do as It. is with tills growing army. Tho censors aro won derfully clover in ferreting out at tempts to givo troop locations by code. We have an immense amount of mall that passes thru this office writton by enlisted personnel and there are those who foolishly attempt to violato tho rules, somo by rather clover codes, hut tho censor picks up such codes Infallibly nnd then comes a court martial and punishment for tho offender. I recall ono such tn slaaco whore a man in an important front line sector wrote a letter hi which certain letters wcro faintly dotted and which was a prearranged code. It went through until It reached tho censor whero It was promptly plekcd'up and sent back for disciplinary action." F k mm. i The most remarkable, demonstra tion on pear blight control ever held in Oregon v. ill be glvon at the South ern Oregon 'Experiment Station near Talent on Monday, August 20, at p. m. Profossor Itolnier has conducted 'an experiment during the present summer and has obtained results which will mean more to blight con trol work than anything that has been dono slnco the discovery of the cause of pear blight. The results ob tained will completely revolutionize certain treatments in combatting pear blight. Our growers have often obtained unsatisfactory results from tholr work In fighting' pear blight, even where very thoro work has been done. Tho results of this experiment will show why ' such unsatisfactory results have been obtained, and also how entirely satisfactory results can he obtained. Exports who have seen these results slnto that this experi ment should mean a saving of a mil lion dollars annually to the fruit in dustry of America. Every orchardlst, and every blight cutter in the valley should be present at this meeting. These results will apply to every orchard whether old or young. Tho work is entirely dif ferent from any that has ever been demonstrated at the Experiment Sta tion on previous occasions. If you want to see the results of the most important, and tho most convincing experiment ever conduct ed on the proper method of treating pear blight you should attend this meeting. The demonstration begins at 2 o'clock sharp and will require less than one hour. WOMAN PILOTS PARIS TO LONDON MAIL PA HIS. Aug. 20. -Mine.
