I During our walk we came upon ah boulder in the middle of a field in-' laid with a bronze plate which told us that there was the original site of Yale college, writes Richard Le Gallienne in Harper's for September. Sayr brook did not see the college go to i New Haven without a struggle, and i one of its incidents is piquant to recall?the famous battle of the college j 4- books. In December, 1718, the trustees, already migrated to New Haven. | desired to remove the college library:, which had been left in Saybrook. But Saybrook refused to give it up, and j ? o+?hhnrniv that the governor and 6U ovuvw. _ council had to come down from Hartford, and set the sheriff and his assistants to work. These, however, found the house in which the books were kept barred and guarded by ''resolute men," and even after the sheriff had broken in and placed a guard over the books the book-lovers of Saybrook did not yet give in. On ? the morrow it was found that the r ^ carts that were to transport the books had been disabled, and when others were procured, and a start finally made, it was found that even j the bridges along the road had been ( destroyed in advance of them. When before or since has a village shown such a furious passion forHearning! Admiral de Grasse. i Quite recently, when setting foot ^ for the first time on the soil of ^^^.France, Admiral Gleaves, commandB ing the American fleet that had conthp United States army across rTyj^v. ?~ _ the Atlantic, remarked: "A few weeks ago I was before the monument at Yorktown, which commemorates the conquest of the independence of my country, thanks 1 to the assistance of the great French Admiral de Grasse." * \ Who is this De Grasse, and what decisive role did he play in the war J of American independence, that 136 j *, years later the first salute of Admiral 1 * Gleaves' soul and sword, at that mo- j ment one of the grandest and one of 1 the most solemn of the present and ! - Kiotnrv nf our two countries, j ruiure uioiw... should have been a public homage j rendered to this French sailor, with i such emphasis and with such enthu-! siastic gratitude?

Not only our heroes of today, but also those of yesterday, deserve to be remembered. Bonds, powerful bonds never severed, have continued to attach these illustrious dead to our hopes, and they have never ceased to participate in our life. The world war now in progress, and the intervention therein of the United States, in accordance with the inexorable requirements of our mutual destinies, demand that those who in times long gone by contributed to the glory and to the progressive liberty of our two nations should be brought into the first rank when nowadays we pass our heroes in review. We must not forget to associate them in the culmination of the great events of which ~ they were the originators. It is a mere act of justice that we should cite them for their feats of arms of over 130 years ago on yonder side of the ocean in our present orders of the day. Alas! there are but few here, save perhaps the students of history, who remember the career, the gallant and 1 ' ? ?i/fmiral Hp glorious caieei, ui uui iauu.i. Grasse, or who realize that he was in every sense of the word the equal of the Lafavettes and of the Rochambeaux. If you pass through Tilly, near Dammartin-en-Serve in the Seine- etOise, halt your steps for a moment before the ancient castle of the high and mighty seignieurs, the former sovereign Princes of Antibes. The cannons are no longer there. But enter the church. The heart is there, the dried heart, of that great Frenchman, the Comte de Grasse, who fought more than a century ago for the ideal and the liberty of a young people then in its infancy. Today the great and formidable United States, for whom he prepared, and from whom he secured so long * ago the alliance now existing between our nations, are returning*to him here his visit to America. That is why Albert Gleaves, the * 1 - r 1 A 1 ntiwiirinry American Admiral 01 ian, aimmg in a straight line from Virginia, desired when setting foot on our soil to salute, in the face of the entire world.

It would be a terrible calamity if a royal personage should be disposed of below his or her station in the marriage market. It has been a custom to use them to cement friendly relations between kingdoms,! although they have not always proved good cement. If they are still considerd of service for the removal of international animosities they will hav? a large work to do when peace is declared. It must be regretfully said that there will not be enough of them to offset all the animosities that have been aroused or aggravated since those fatal days of July and August, 1914. | 240 POUND PIGS. i l !
