DEAD ARE MOUNTING GUARD 8oldiers Who Were Killed at Douaumont Still Thrust Their Bayonets Above Ground. At Douaumont, France, Cardinal Dubois, archbishop of Rouen and former bishop of Verdun, blessed the historic Tranchee des Fusils, the "Trenches of ' the Rifles," September 14. The ceremony occurred in the presence of General Valentin, commander of the forts and heights of the Meuse; of M. Robin, mayor of Verdun, and a delegation of the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh regiment, according to Current His / tory, New York Times. The Trench of the Rifles lies behind a humble wooden cross erected near Douaumont, which is a shapeless mass of splintered rock, of barbed wire writhing as if in torment, of nameless litter, through which poppy and uiamuit? meu LU un usi u^naiu uui Ing the summer. This cross overlooks the bloodiest battle field of the war. It was erected by men of the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh regiment because close by their dead comrades are still mounting guard?there in the Tranchee des Fusils. It was a small episode amidst a cataclysm and soon over. In Indian file the men of the One Hundred and Thii> ty-seventh crept forth to mount guard, rifle on shoulder, bayonets fixed; there came a sudden, thunderous boom; the earth shuddered and cracked open, dosed again, and swallowed up all. Thrusting above the ground, aligned as on that last march down the narrow trench that led to death, the bayonets of the section rise a bare six - inches. It was this Trench of Rifles, and the dead heroes, still mounting guard below, that the cardinal blessed. ,LAW AS TO COLOR BLINDNESS ? ..... - ? A!-Ui Does Not mean loss ot oignt, n^viuing to Ruling Made by Georgia Superior Court Color blindness does not mean total 1 loss of sight in the meaning of the law, *lt was held recently by Judge John T. Pendleton in the motion division of Superior court at Atlanta, Ga. Judge Pendleton's decision cleared a legal point raised only once before la the United States, so far as is shown by court records. This was in Ne< braska, where both the lower court and the State Supreme court held that color blindness means total blindness. The question was raised in a suit brought by George L. Fallin, who was a locomotive engineer for the Atlanta Joint Terminals, against the Locomo tive Engineer Mutual Insurance and Accident association, a branch of j the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers. Engineer Fallin, it was set out, became color blind while engaged in his line of duty and was discharged from his position. He then applied to the engineers' association for his insurance?$1,500?for the loss of his eyesieht as stipulated in the policy. The association, however, declined to pay the amount on the ground that color blindness did not come within the terms of the policy concerning blindness. Fallin then brought suit in the courts through his counsel, City Attor* j ney James L. Mayson. , Chinaman and His Queue. On AprH 16, at what was once the village of Fanpoux, I met a Chinese who was trying to grow a queue. It was only about a foot long and did not improve his appearance any. That day while out in the fields salvaging ammunition, his nose told him he was in the vicinity of some unsuccessfully ! buried foreigners. He was hardened ; by this time to all sorts of disagree- j able things, but the incident went to ; the back of his head and only served ; to strengthen his belief that he should : grow a queue. Foreigners wear their hair cut short. He had been in France going on two years and had long since concluded that he did not want to imitate them. Hence the queue.?World's Work.
