Hessian Relics Dug Up On Broadway Recall Romance Of Yankee Brass
: - " i ; .... fiiiiiilyl i
General Lafayette Accepts a Set of Gold Buttons from America'. Brass Manufacturers
UNEARTHING of a quantity of brass buttons on Broadway in upper New York recently, led to an inTestigation which proved that they were buttons from Hessian uniforms worn in the days of the Revo!tion. They were in perfect condition, the regimental in-sig-nias clearly discernible. The brass buttons of the policeman are about the only ones now in use, particularly since soldiers have taken to buttons of copper color, but back in 1820 the brass button of the dandy's coat and waistcoat helped to lay the foundation cf
what is now one of America's greatest industries. Instead of farming:, the people cfj sections of Connecticut took to making cloth buttons. Then the brass button became the style and they made brass ones by the bushel.: They were so proud of their work that when Gen. Lafayette visited America in 1824 they made him a set of gold ones from dies cast in Washington. By the time the button craze had. gone, the sheet brass industry was strong enough to stand on its own infant legs. And it frrew. Now one Connecticut factory covers a greater acreage than the original village. Many of the old brass buttons are still preserved by collectors.
Wave of Godlessness Sweeps Over Germany, Church Statistics Show; (tGottMit Uns" Falls Into Disrepute
By T. HIASON International Newi Srrtc Staff orreipondent. BERLIN", Sept. "Hott I!t TTn s 1. no longer the slogan in republican (lertnany. Is th feeling that God abandoned Germany responsible for an iacreaTnp tendency for Germany to abandon God? The Berliner Tasreblatt attempts to analyze, the reasons why l'rotestants. Catholics and Jews are leaving their churches In Increasing numbers. Godlessness Is developing In the cities, whereas the country dstricts have lost hut few members of the church, finds the Tageblatt. In one year the Protestant churches in Berlin have lost more than 80.000 members, the total loss of the Protestant rhurchea for all Ger
many being about 150.000. The toa number of members of the Catholic church in Berlin has receded 7.000 during the past year. The -Catholics are in the minority in Northern Germany. The number of Jews withdrawing from the synagogue is double the number of resignations before the war, the Tageblatt declares. "The most Important reason for the increasing army of dissidents Is the Increasing church taxes- But also the fact that the broad masses view the Protestant church as the instrument of militaristic Germany and therefore fight It plays a large role. The experiences of the war have also left their mark." "Gott Mit Uns." but not with Increased church taxes, summarizes the Tageblatfs investigations.
DID FRANCES ANZEGRUBER DO RIGHT?
r INTER NATIONAL NEW3 SERVICE! SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Here are the answers of some prominent jersons to the above questions: Mrs. Katherine Edson, member State Welfare Board cf California. "Francts Anzegruber was justified in her stand. John Fure'n ha scorned her publicly for years. His only reason for proposing marriage was to gain control of the children." Deau J. AVllmer Gresham, rector Grace Cathedral "So matter what Frances Ansertiber'a own vltvs of the matter may h-. rhe should have married the father of her children and legitimatized thorn. But I would not advise th.j woman to live with this man. On the contrary I would say to leave him." Angelo KoPf!, president Downtown Association "I think this woman did right in refusing to marry this man. lie had betrayed her confidence by tolling the world of their relations. Tiiat i3 the most dastardly tiling a man can do. It was the man in this case who brought disgrace on the children by advertising their illegitimacy." Dr. Charles McGeMigan, physician "By refusing to marry this man Frances Anzgruher did a great injustice to her children. She should have consid-red them first, last and always. They are innocent of any wrong but must suffer. She denied them' their birthright." What do you t.nyl
