"FROM GAY PAREE" A CHARMING TRAVELOG FROM GIFTED WRITER ( MRS. T. DOWDNEY CLARK ^ WRITES FASCINATING DIARY OF TRAVELS GIFTED yVRITER FINDS PARIS ' WEARING THE SYMBOLS OF MOURNING The accompaying travelog from the versatile pen of Mrs. T. Dowdnty Clark, might lie with all fitness, n<lile<l to the epistolary classics of literature. Seldom have \ye read so interesting and instructive a letter, i Nature has endowed Mrs. Clark wit ha rare faculty for descriptive writing; while her sympathetic disposition enahleds her to find the hearf'of every man and women who ; liecopies the subject of her observa- j The thoughts which came to Mrs. > (.'lurk, as she. stood by the silent ttomb of the great Napoledn provoke cogitation. How weak anil ; frail a thing is man; yet how ma- j jestic and noble! _ ^ We have been leil to- think of j France as abandoned to licence,! revelry, and cynicism; fanatics have j lieen moralizing an infinitum upon its utter godliness in the reaction I following the last tragic war. It is refreshing therefore to read Mrs. Dowdney Clark's smypathetic story, an dlearn that France has lost nothing of her fame for heroic and noble sacrifice and suffering. The lady's description of the place, where America's dead lie ( sleeping, consecrating the soil of j the land they died to save, will be read by every mother and father, who has a loved one under the , poppies, w ith unspeakable grati- j tude. Mrs. Dowdney Clark goes from France to Switzerland, from which place we are promised another epistle. ' i Time will hang heavily until it; Hotel Palais D'Orsay, Paris, France, July 21st, 1922.. Editor Sentinel: — Once more I am in Paris, this1 wonderful, beautiful city, so rich1 in historical possessions, and so al- ; together different from our cities j in the States, that it is hard to : imagine just how it looks. The Seine river flows nearly through the middle of the city, j banked up on either side with! stone, with broad shaded avenues j beyond; and here overlooking it,! is our fine hotel. Imagine a city with every building from three to four stories high, forming mostly > a continuous wall, every building; of grey cement or stone, and thou- i sands of high grey chimney-pots! on the roofs; imagine beautiful! public parks and gardens, where j beds of flowers are grown in great profusion; fine trees, magnificent! public buildings, obelisks and arches , numerous fine bridges, some with! handsome statues, and then, per- j "* haps, you can see Paris in a waj; ' but it is only by being here that 1 you can fully grasp, just how it' really appears. t Last night I stood on a bridge! near our hotel, and looked over the city and the river. The sun in all ; its glory was slowly setting, and - as 1 looked, the golden glow touched the spires of the cathedrals, the

I lofty .turrets of Notre Dame, and I 1 many other buildings, until every- 4 I thing seemed ablaze with a glori- | ous mellow light, while down below v the Seine flowed quietly on its way. 4 J It was a scene not soon to be for- T 1 gotten. i This Is my fourth visit to Paris , i and again have 1 gone to. the fam- y ous places I last visited, when I s was studying music here six. years r \ ago. r 1 esterday 1 went to the Hotel , I Des invalides, where Napoleon is f buried, and as again I gazed down ; 5 upon his tomli of reddish brown v granite, weighing" many tons, I S thought of his wonderful career,, j also how,short the tomb Was. Then t I remembered he was a litttle man { in stature, and two lessons I learn- ] ed there; one that size counts for ( nothing in greatness, and second, , n that great as he was. he was anje I- atheist, and though like a meteor , ■ . he shot through the sky of history | in great brilliancy, yet his life end-' i ed in bitter, n4vfu| defeat. So God ' lays his hand heavily upon the un- , '- believers, no matter to what greatr, i ness they may have attained, while . k j he rewards his children who strive ' after goodness with eternal life, j, e | -As I ha\-e gone through the mag- . <- nificent pulbic buildings, and around . e through the city, I realize more o j than ever why the Germans strived . ' so tremendously to reach Paris, for " ! what a treasure house it wouhl have been, what a victory! ' ' 4. Almost every Frenchwoman you j ' it meet is in black. If it tuero no* for '- 1 the many Americans, anil people 1 d j of other nationalities here, with ' i- j their touch of color, it would\j>e | j very depressing. . . . if ■! Many Frenchmen with an arm or!1 leg gone, or a face either entirely!1 ejor half masked, tell mutely whatn ! havoc the war has wrought, n Ov-er a million and a half men J killed, besides the many thousands d wounded. c One Frenchwoman who has los't ] s a husband arid three sons, said to ' ic me "why should the women of t. France bear sons only to be kille ed ?" Oh, it has been awful hardj' e i on the women, who have fought i ' if their battles of anxiety, fear and ' ' * | agony in their homes. What hist- ' r, ory of bloodshed France has had. ie i Goil grant this may be the last. 1 i- I drove last Wednesday over near ' is the Luxembourg Gardens, where I ' n ! had lived three separate times, in ] i- the home of Professor and Mrs. • Barbin. I found both Of them were it ; dead and their two fine sons killed 1 in action. Then I went to two other Y, homes, and found all the six men - e. in I sith families had been killed, 2.; and only the two little, old frail; ! mothers, and a young sister left, is Some how the sun ceased shining, : h dark heavy clouds of grief envelop- 1 I- ed me, even my dear teacher. Pro's ; fessor Moutz Moszkowski was 1 o Ulead. Truly all my good friends ! were gone. I remembered the jolly j y | good times we had enjoyed to- j j y, j gether; laughter and tears, how ' hi closely one follows the other like 1 •s ; sunshine and shadow, t. Our party went out to Chateau i y 1 Thierry the other day. then Metz o and Amiens, and ^Iso to the "Amer- ! y | ican Cemetery" where fifteen hung dred of our own boys are resting, i- 1 want to say for t|»e comfort of , Is | those who have a loifd one there, jt ■ that it Is a beautiful cemetery, e , IdeaUy located on the hillside, from : it the Cop of which many so valiantly! it : fought. There are broad gravelled ■s , walks, and the graves, splendidly h kept, have white crosses about three r- : feet high, with the name and com- /; pany on each one; while in the; It center of a big raised circle the ; American flag waves, and all around Is beautiful rolling country, re; These dear boys who have made the ie supreme sacrifice (and what a glor- I II i ious one, to die for one's country) id I rest very, peacefully, there. i- We saw the terrible havoc ie wrought by the war in the villages, j

I but everywhere the people are at 1 ■ work rebuilding. ™ j A little old Frenchman and his ' ' wife near Metz, only had two little a . walls left of their home, but they I had gathered together some old 11 boards .and roofed a portion while i _ ■ the back there was a little ! L garden growing. Everywhere we f saw evidence of their energy and ; resourcefulness. The .French, people love not only their country, 1 s their homes; just notice how 1 of them come to the United i or Canada ii^ comparison i with other nations. At Chateau Thierry, the Rev. j ' Wadsworth, the director of; 1 the "Methodist Memorial," had C 1 converted the partly ruined "Old n ' Hotel," occupied if the fi for some time, into this h • , very nice building, which is found- s' ''ed and sustained by the Methodist C ; church as a "War Memorial," being P * ! by "the Board of Foreign ! Missions and the Centenary Fund. 11 1 Reverend and Mrs. Wadswerth b \ , in the building before it was s | really habitable, and one day when ! a part of the old front stairs was * torn down, they found they hail s been walking man ytimes over four- £ j ty-six sticks of dynamite. What's a that old saying, "A miss is atj good j as a mile?" Well, it certainly was b r in this case. > " I From twenty to forty babies a day are kept nourished, and really t i cared for with two nurses in at- ! . tendance, in order to give the R , mothers a chance to work unhamp- [ ered, then older children are taught t , ! not only the "Three R's" but sew- t Ling and cooking clksses have been t r fwrwierf^whiie three evenings of the c . | week it As d social center for theS i young folks of both sexes, under e the direct supervision of Dr. Wads'! . worth and his enthusiastic wife", , What a grand good work they are,c . doing there! Dr. Wadsworth took , . ; up the big hill to the ruins of , l an old .feudal castle, where Ithe 1 v Germans had been encamped over fdur months during the war. The j old castle was builtt in the 12th ! , century, and overlooks the village ! * , and the Marne rjver, which are ! directly below. We were taken down in old tun- i nels, and shown the dungeons and 1 r awfully deep wells, also shown the i I tunnel that in olden times, led | . , under the Marne arid six miles be- , ; yond, but which the Germans had . j j blocked, when they occupied the ' ' From this high and wooded hill j J 1 ; a simply magnificent view was pre- J ; senteil, which gave our opponents | a great strategic advantage. 8 Red poppies were blooming nearly everywhere, and the wheat ( fields were very beautiful with the ' . poppies showing so plainly amidst ! R the golden grain. 1 R I saw yesterday, the huge Ger- 1 f plane, "Gotha," also many ! . tanks, cannons and guns, which 1 , were captured by the French, and ] e brought to Paris to forma collec- ] tion of war trochlea. 1 j It is laughable to see many of ' i the Frenchmen and their sweet- - hearts as they walk along the - streets, or sit upon the benches in ;. the public pardens, and parks be- I f cause they embrace each other as : ■, little Dan Cupid suggests, and they i only laugji they know they I i are observed. y If this was done in our country i ■ in this public way, dear oh me what < y would Mrs. Grundy say? Why e nearly all the work done by the 1 - gentler sex would |top while e gossipy tongues would wag, while | ; e their venom would poison forever; I the ones they had assailed. Well my letter grows very long; e and there is .so much left unwritten , - I will write again from Switzer- ) land, if I have anything left after j sight- seeing, c Yours sincerely. : i, j (Signed.) Mrs. T. Dowdnty Clark. |

The Presbyterian Church has been one of the greatest forces for liberty, education, and evangelism America has ever had. I think. It TO was the author of modern represenPRESBY- «,ive R<P»blican TERIANS TJSkW ica owes much of tier government j. to the Presbyterian Church. She a has been one of this government s j greatest examples and most power, j ful defender. In the okl days tne , )Tc-ib>-t#rian church's adherence to ( doctrines and principles, added to ( the stre.gtb, character, and intcg- ; * tjty of American citizenship. In , these latter day*, it seems to mc, j ahe has come upon perilous times. , , FIRST. — The Presbyterian I Church commits a fally and sin ■ if' she permits infamous here- 1 tics who deny the deity of Christ and the infallibility of the Bible to < stay in hcc rankg and to occupy her 1

WW pulpits. I insist she has no right to allow such enemies of God, of home, and of government to carry name. 1 think a Presbyterian minister who denies the deity oi Christ or the infallible Word of C«aL_»nd continues to occupy a Presbyterian pulpit is drawing his under false pretenses. We have all taken oath to teach the deity of Christ and the infalliof God's Word, and for that we receive position and compensation. SECOND —The Presbyterian Church commits a folly when ahe becomes a meal ticket for faddists

and place-hunters who constantly devise schemes and plans and or- ; ganlzatioos to increase their power, iwtronage and patrimony. They I live and work exchiiively that they , may subsist upon such efforts. THIRD — The Presbyterian [ Church commits a folly when she , permits her enemies to begin lo i bnild machinery and centralize her government, thereby detracting 1 from her power. 5 I don't believe Presbyterians will submit to centralized power nor to | y dictation by agents and machines, j B. 'They crashed that kind of power | once. I hope they will crash it * again. It must be crashed in gov- ! craments and it moat be crushed in i 5 the church. 1 The Pre-sby^rian Church should I. return to the sovereignity and ! power and supretnney of her Prew* bytcrian government and to the control by her presbyteries, n Hear my plea!

TOMMY VOLZ PROVES ! MORE THAN HANDFDLL i FOR O.C. COLLEGIANS SEASON'S RECORD BROKEN FOR LOCAL NINE BY PHU.A. TERMINAL - * : — -1 i The enviable record of the Ocean ' Collegians was broken on Wednesday, when they suffered their ' 'first defeat for the season, at the of Tommy Volz, erstwhile star performer for the Bridesburg who took the mound for the Terminal aggregation. | The defeat came hard after eight ' victories; but the Mackenzie , took their medicine, in a fine - sportsmanlike spirit. Tommy is without question a speedy burler, with a number of t surprising curves in his repertoire. pdnch too in the elbow, and fine eye for the opportunity. Jimmy Denton first essayed the box for the home team, but retired ! after the first inning. ' 'Truth to tell the Terminals battered his deliveries without mercy, leroi ms deliveries wunoui mercy, star

failing to discover tie geo- - — - graphical location of the plate. >' Alan Tarr replaced Denton on the mound, but fared no better than he. Without all his skill in the pitching-craft, he' could not icheck the vicious slugging of the '"'Writers, who scored another two ^^aroes in the first stanza. 4- Clauser, who stalked the second . slab, Denekey who promenaded the ! 'center garden. Green, and Pickup ifrom the right fortress, shone in; the firmament for the visitors; ! McGra4V proved a redoubt-, able slugger for the Collegians, j ! The Collegians, it is declared, i ,!were suffering an "off duy." Be; , ( that as it may, Tarr did not meas- j j ure up to his oustomary science in ' i the box, nor was the hitting of | I j any, with the exception of McGraw, : , ! up to par. I I Eight consecutive victories may j have made the Coffcgians a wee- ; | bit over-confident, and a wee sma' | , | bit careless. i Anyhow, Tommy Volz cannot be ' 1 trifled with impunity; Tommy ! i knows as many tricks and all the , tricks of the game, just as . well j as he knows his name.
