NE of the tenderest love stories in American literature and one of America’s best-loved poets, who made that love story immortal, are to have an enduring memorial in the form of a national park of 1,000 acres, if present plans are carried forward to a successful con-

elusion. That story Is the story of the quest of Evangeline, the Acadian maiden, for her lover, the poet Is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who wrote her epic of love and devotion, and the project is the establishment of a national reservation near St. Martinville, La., to be known as Longfellow-Evangeline National Memorial park. Down In Louisiana the descendants of Evangeline’s people, the Acadians, have formed a Long-fellow-Evangeline National Park association, the purpose of which is stated by Its officers as follows: To build a great national memorial to the Acadians: to erect a splendid bronze statue, representing Longfellow and the heroine of his poem, “Evangeline,” the Acadian maiden of Grand Pre; to preserve the Evangeline Oak, a tree more than four hundred years old, also the ancient trees around St. Martinsville, the scene of the poem; to preserve the ancient brick building which stands near the oak and which was the trading post of the Attakapas Indians, and to build a museum In which will be kept the records and antiques used by the early Acadians and French emigrants into Louisiana, as well as a record of each donor, so that the lives of these people, whom Longfellow Immortalized, may be studied by this generation and generations to come. In accordance with this plan the association is enlisting the aid of every citizen of Louisiana to have the first national park in the South located in the Pelican state. It has already secured appropriation of SIO,OOO by the state legislature which has made possible the purchase of a tract of at least 250 acres and it Is asking the federal government for an appropriation of SIOO,OOO In order that more land —as much as 1,000 acres, if possible—may he bought. The project Is more than one to foster local pride, since by it the natural beauties of that section may be made more apparent and made accessible to the thousands of tourists from all parts of the country who drive through the Acadian country every year. For that reason the park has a national significance. It also has an International significance in that French Canadians will be invited to share tn thus honoring the memory of those of their people who, so many years ago. were forced to leave their homes and go Into exile. Included in the plans for the park are those for a sculptured group of Longfellow and his two famous characters, Evangeline and Gabriel. This group will be placed as nearly as possible to the spot where tradition says Evangeline kept her tryst with the lover of her youth. Near it will be built a wading pool and about this will stand the sculptured symbolic figures of Youth, Gladness, Love and Despair, as exemplified in the poem. And over all this artificial beauty will tower the gray moss-hung oaks and cypress trees which are such a prominent feature of the Louisiana landscape. One of the beauty spots in the park will be an old-fashioned garden in which will be found flowers such as Evangeline tended in her garden by the Basin of Minas and through which will run shaded walks, winding around quiet pools —a place of ancient beauty whose only modern touch will be the driveways for motorists, the gates that mark the entrance and the lighting system which will make possible the use of the park at night. Although the park Is situated in the Acadian country and will be a memorial to the Acadians, It will be no less a memorial to Longfellow, the poet. It has already won the support of many varying interests. The trades unions of America will erect there a monument symbolical of Longfellow’s poem. “The Builders.” The iron workers of Canada and the United States are uniting to

Regiment Has Long and Proud History

London’s oldest regiment, the Honorable Artillery company, existed before 1537, when Henry IHI granted n charter of incorporation to the Guild or 1 raternity of St. George, a guild of archers and hand-gunmen, but the origin of the guild is lost in the mists of the Middle ages. By 1014 the company had increased to such an extent that there was a waiting list of at tha better Sort of Citizens

erect a statuary group depicting “The Village Blacksmith.” “Hiawatha” will be immortalized in bronze by contributions from the Indians of the two countries and an effort will be made to interest the school children of America in giving penny contributions whlc*s will make possible a statue appropriate to “The Children’s Hour.” Although they were characters of fiction, there once did live a “Gabriel” and an “Evangeline” whose love story inspired Longfellow's imwii. The name of the real "Evangeline” was Emmerline Lablche, the faithless “Gabriel” was Louis Arceneaux, and their life story Is a part of the tragic tale of the simple folk of Acadia who were deported by British soldiery from their homes away back in 1755. The Acadians were French colonists who had settled In what is now Nova Scotia in IGO7. and who lived a happy, contented existence In their homes in the New world until caught In the maelstrom of world polities, stirred up by the contest between England and France to decide which nation was to dominate the North American continent. In the series of wafs between the two countries which began in IGB9 Acadia was a pawn on the international chess-board, now held by the French and now by the British. As for the Acadians themselves, they were In the main neutral. In fact they were often referred to In the official papers of the time as the ‘'Neutral French." While the sympathies of most of them no doubt leaned toward their own countrymen and some of them supported the French cause, for the most part they wished to be left alone In their peaceful pursuits as farmers and fishermen. The question of their allegiance was never definitely settled after an.v of the treaties of peace, but In 1755, with France and England girding for the final decisive struggle, the Acadians foffhd themselves caught between the upper and nether millstones of British and French demands for their loyalty. In that year the British, who then held Acadia, decided that the Acadians were “an enemy encamped in the heart of the province” and determined to force a show-down. They reiterated a demand that had been made many years before, but which had never been Insisted upon—that the Acadians take an oath of allegiance to the British crown upon pain of forfeiture of their rights and lands. What followed Is well-described by George M. Wrong in “The Conquest of New France” in the Yale University Chronicles of America as follows; The thine was done In the summer and autumn of 1755. Colonel Robert Monckton, a regular officer, son of an Irish peer, who always showed an Ineffable superiority to provincial officers serving under him, was placed in charge of the work. He ordered the male inhabitants of the neighborhood of Beausejour to meet him there on the tenth of August. Only about one-third of them came —some four hundred. He told them that the government at Halifax now declared them rebels. Their lands and all their goods were forfeited; they themselves were to be kept in prison. Not yet, however, was made known to them the decision that they were to be treated as traitors of whom the province must be rid. No attempt was made anywhere to distinguish loyal from disloyal Acadians. Major Lawrence, British governor at Halifax, gave orders to the military officers to clear the country of all Acadians, to get them by any necessary means on board the transports which would carry them away, and to burn their houses and crops bo that those not caught might perish or be forced to surrender during the coming winter. At the moment, the harvest had just been reaped or was ripening When the stern work was done at Grand Pre, at Pisiquid, now Windsor, at Annapolis, there were harrowing scenes. In command of the work at Grand Pre was Colonel Winslow, an officer from Massachusetts —some of whose relatives twentyfive years later were to be driven, because of their loyalty to the British king, from their own homes in Boston to this very land of Acadia. Winslow issued a summons in French to all the male inhabitants, down to lads of ten, to come to the church at Grand Pre on Friday, the fifth of September, to learn the orders he had to communicate. Those who did not appear were to forfeit their

of the best means and quality.” In IGIS a magnificent sham battle took place. Troop charged troop, the strong pikes shaking with eager fire, and the wings of shot delivering such tremendous volleys that men lost themselves in the smoke, while scared spectators fled or lay groveling on the ground in terror of the noise. One of the most cherished possessions of 1 the company Is the great vellum book,

in which there is a galaxy of royal signatures and the autographs of celebrated men.—Vancouver Province.

goods. No doubt many of ’he Acadians did not understand the summons. Few of them could rend, and it hardly mattered to them that on one occasion a notice on the church door was posted upside down Some four hundred anxious peasants appeared Winslow read to them a proclamation to the effect that their houses and lands were forfeited and that they themselves and their families were to be deported. Five vessels from Boston lay at Grand Pre. In tikie more ships arrived, but chill I October had come before Winslow was finally ' ready. By this time the Acadians realized what was to happen. The men were joined by their families As far as possible the people of the same village were kept together. They were forced to march to the transports, a sorrow-laden company, women carrying babes in their arms, old and decrepit people borne In carts, young and strong men dragging what belongings they could gather. Winslow’s task, as he says, lay heavy on his heart and hands: “It hurts me to hear their weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth." By the first of November he had embarked 1.500 unhapny people. His last shipload he sent off on the thirteenth of December The suffering from cold must have been terrible. In all from Grand Pre and other places more than G.o°O Acadians were deported. They were scattered in the English colonies from Maine to Georgia and in both France and England. Many died; many, helpless in new surroundings sank Into decrepit pauperism. Some reached people of their own blood in the French colony of Louisiana and Canada. Anions those who came to Louisiana was young T.ouis Arceneaux who had become separated from his sweetheart, Emmerline Labiche, and who settled on Bayou Teche. a stream which winds In and out like a snake, hence its iijime. which is the Indian term for snake. Here, too, ten years later came Emmerline Lahlche, who had been mourning the loss of her lover. And the soul of the maiden, between the stars and the fireflies. Wandered alone and she cried, “O, Gabriel. O, my beloved' Art thou so near unto me, and yet I cannot behold thee? Ah, how often thy feet have trod this path to th« prairie I” At last Emmerline found her lover, and tradition says that the meeting took place beneath the his torlc Evangeline Oak on the Bayou Teche, where she learned that her faithless lover had married another. It was the story of Emmerline Labiche and Louis Arceneaux, told to Longfellow when he was an Instructor at Harvard by a student from Louisiana, later Judge Henry Simon, which the poet wove into his famous poem. If you visit St. Marthisville. La., today they will point out to you the house where “Gabriel” (Louis Arceneaux) once lived and they will take you to the spot near the left wing of the old St. Martin Catholic church, established in 1765 by Father Jean Francois, a Capuchin missionary, where sleeps “Evangeline” (Emmerline Labiche). It is not strictly true, as Longfellow has written It, that Side by side in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping. Under the humble walls of the little Catholic churchyard, In the heart of the city, they He, unknown and unnoticed. Daily the tides of life go ebbing and flowing beside them. But if you go there you will still hear the soft accents of the Acadian tongue and you may learn that upon occasion Maldens still wear their Norman caps and their kirtles of homespun. And by the evening fire repeat Evangeline’s story. For the descendants of the exiled Acadians are proud of their ancestry with Its heritage of sorrow, and In this country of primitive beauty they live simply, yet extending always a hospitality to the stranger that warms the heart. It is in honor of these simple, kindly people who “have left their forceful personality, the ‘gray granite’ virtues of honesty and uprightness, piety and political power in the civil records throughout the United States, the country they have done so much to develop. , that the Longfellow-Evangeline National Memorial park is to be established for the enjoyment of all Americans.

have not been a far cry—in the last fifty years nearly all of this blootr transformation lias taken place. Freak Roses The famous blue rose, Veilchenblau, has semi-double purple-rose flowers, turning to steel-blue upon opening, with white and dark rose shading. The flowers are not ugly individually, hut they are rather trying in the mass. They look best with pale yellow or white varieties beside them.

The Balkan Puzzle IF YOU will look over a map of Europe yon will see three great peninsulas jutting into the seas that wash the south shores of the continent. The southernmost and farthest east of the three is known as the Balkan peninsula. It comprises Turkey in Europe, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, eastern Roumelia, Rumania and other lesser divisions. Incidentally, that same peninsula has for a thousand years been the hotbed of revolt, intrigue and violence. No other district of the same size contains so many races, nor so many people who are so widely different in religion, politics, customs and characteristics. This jumble of nationalities dwells side by side, yet never blending. Turk, Greek, Bulgar. Albanian and a half score of other peoples live shoulder to shoulder, yet each sharply divided from all the . others. The Turk is the bully of the ! peninsula. The other races spent centurfes fighting and intriguing against each other, but have merged their various difficulties in a common hatred against Turkey. The Turks, strongest of all Mahomet’s followers, became masters of the peninsula in the Thirteenth century, being at that time the foremost military power of the world. Most of the Balkan states are Christian. For this reason, as well as because of the frequent plots and revolts against the sultan’s government, Turkey has, from time to time, punished her rebellious subjects by wholesale slaughter and outrage. The Armenian and Macedonian massacres have, at one period and another, aroused the horror of all civilized i countries. In May, 1576, Bulgaria and Herzegovina (then Turkish provinces) started one of the periodical insurrections. The peasants of the Batak । district of “Bulgaria were preparing i to rise when suddenly a large Turkish force under Achmet Agha appeared, surrounded the town of Batak and commander the natives to yield; promising that not one of them should be harmed. With a credulity unusual in people having experience with the "Unspeakable Turk,” the patriots obeyed. Then the massacre began. The prisoners—men. women and children alike —were slaughtered like I sheep. Some took refuge in a church. It was burned over their heads, i Achmet Agha received a decoration from the sultan for this great killing. At news of the outrage the six great European powers sent a formal protest to the sultan. He had. earlier, promised reforms, but had disregarded bis pledges. Now he gave the envoys no satisfaction whatever. This was the chance for which Russia had waited. Twenty years earlier Turkey (backed by England. France and Sardinia) had beaten Russia in the Crimea. The wound still rankled. Russia, moreover, had for a long time yearned to absorb her eastern rival or to annex as much of the latter’s territory as possible. The other nations. however, had no idea of allowing the "balance of power” to be thus shifted, and Russia had been able to find no occasion to promote her schemes. Now, under pretext of avenging the injuries Inflicted on Balkan Christians, the czar declared war (1877) against Turkey. A Russian army crossed the Danube June 27. On July 13 General Gourko made the difficult passage of the Balkan mountains and advanced on Adrianople, but was driven back. In December he recrossed the Balkan range, vanquishing a Turkish army of 32.000 at Shipka pass (January 9, 1878). Osman Pasha, the sultan’s best general, meantime had held his own against the invaders and had at length occupied the city of Plevna. Here he endured for twenty weeks a memorable siege against superior numbers, but was in the end forced to surrender. With the fall of Plevna the Turkish cause w >akened. Philippopolis and Adrianopolis were taken, and the Russian armies marched unchecked on to Constantinople. Here, however, with the fruits of victory wdthin their very grasp, the conquerors were halted by the powers. The old menace of ‘‘destroying the balance of power’’ seemed about to be fulfilled, and the Russians were forbidden to enter the Turkish capital. By the peace treaty of San Stefano, however, Rumanian Bessarabia and part of Armenia were ceded to Russia. Bulgaria was made a principality with home rule; Rumania, Serbia and Montenegro were declared free countries, and Bosnia and Herzegovina came under Austro-Hungarian sway. So ended the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878. Turkey, far from profiting by her lesson, continued to oppress her Christian provinces. In 1895 massacres of Christians in Armenia. and even in Constantinople, horrified civilization. Christians in Crete revolted, byway of showing their disapproval, and asked Greece to annex their island. A Greek military force was sent to Crete. Turkey at once declared war, thrashed Greece In one brief campaign and wrung from the beaten country a heavy war indemnity. The Balkan peninsula still teems with plot, counterplot, intrigue, misrule and discontent. The Balkan problem will, perhaps, never be solved. Utilizing Forest Products Another step has been taken by American manufacturers in conserving the forest products. Until recently the chips and waste from the big lumber yards were either sold for fuel or burned on the spot to get it out of the way. Now chips and waste from certain woods are saved and sold to the paper mills, which in turn make paper pulp from this heretofore wasted wood. Some of these chips hitherto thrown away os waste, make excellent wood pulp.

"The story is about a very ugly man who called one afternoon on a fascinating young widow. As he sat with the widow very happily over a cup of tea and a cigarette her little daughter came in from school. "The child stared at the man for a moment in silence. Then she burst out in wide-eyed indignation: “’Hiss for shame I I seen you at the zoo yesterday without your clothes on I’ ” New a Metal Clarinet Especially adapted for localities subjected to sharp changes in temperature and for traveling orchestras that encounter a wide range of weather conditions, a metal clarinet has been introduced in America from France. It Is said to have the same tone quality, correct intonation, evenness and carrying power of the wood instrument, and the added advantage of being immune to cracking and checking.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Girl Inventor Honored Tn recognition of her ability as an inventor, the Russian government has engaged Miss L. Y. Palmen. a Russian girl, as engineer-constructor. She is one of the few women in the world to win distinction in her field. She recently perfected an airplane engine which develops 20 horsepower and is specially adapted to the requirements of the all-Russian conference of aerial and chemical defense. — More Energy From Coal Five times the electrical energy now obtainable from coal is being produced I by a new system of carbonization in England.
