They were revived at the Sara toga celebration in New York last month when honors were paid, among dispatches ana others, to this youth whose organizing work won for him the title of “Father of American Artillery,” and who select- ed and planned the fortification of Pemis Heights which had such an important part in Burgoyne's defeat, It was at the Saratoga celebration, too, that there was launched a nation. wide campaign among teachers and children of America to raise funds for the endowment of a scholar ship, known “The Washington Scholarship of the Koscl uszko Foundation,” which will provide £30,000 for the edueation alternately of a student from Poland at an Amer ican university and of an American student at a Polish university. Thus will be perpetuated not only the oft repeated wish of Koscluszko, “Let us give our children a good education with the virtues of justice and honor.” but also the memory of the splendid friendship between him and the lead er of the Continental army, who once declared “to his care and sedulous ap- preciation, the American people are indebted for the defenses of West Point.” For It was Kosciuszko who planned the fortifications on the Hud- son and who, when it was Inter de- sehool to be as George future American officers, urged that West Point be chosen as the site. But most Impressive of all the name of Kosciuszko was the eelebra- tion on October 10 when a new statue of him was unveiled in the Public garden in Boston, The statue wus the gift to Boston of the Polish people of New England, who raised a fund of 825000 for that purpose, and on that day more than 15,000 Americans No Help — - The prospective temant had inspect. ed the bathroom, electric bell, conl cellar, and all the other conveniences of the flat, and expressed himself satisfied, “Have you any children?” porter, “I have.” asked the “Then you ean’t have the flat.” lA gis i a Bo s+ “But you don't understand.

The whole career Kosciuszko wane dedicated to the single purpose of human liberty. Like Kossuth, the Hungarian, Lafayette, the Frenchman, and others, he was far in advance of his time. He wax born February 12 (the birthday of another great ex ponent of freedom), in the year 1746, in a remote part of Lithuania, It was at a time when Poland was exhausted by warg, not wars for the bhetierment of the peoples of Europe, but conflicts between ambitions sovereigns, His father was a man of noble birth and farge estates, The young Kosciuszko attended the Jesuit college in his home town and In 1704 entered the corps of eadets In the Royal School of Warsaw, During his vacations at home he talked with the peasants on his father's estate, learned of their one of married and lives In Australia, and the other two are In America.” “That makes no difference,” said the porter. “1 have orders not to let this flat to anyone with children.” Tit-Bits, wd - Beliefs About Moon The Greeks regarded a full moon na favorable for great enterprises, This belief hes a basis of physiological truth, because it is now known that the nervous system Is influenced by . the lunar cycle, Hence there are pe weed enn to he 1 Was tween Tr y of the Ameriean sh king, Kes can you da? asks fo the fat shall So rion, according tine “ry Kosciuszko s fon ma ory. see.” was Washing of engineers 1776. to April 1777 fortifying Philadelphia { $ here thot he and response him a we de colonel and fi om (io North Raratog ® srred to a and Later Riance i: § , a i: Greene ax chief engineers i ithern campaign, and it is snk hat Greene's escape from Cornwallis d during his memorabie retreat was due jargely to the work of the Polish offi cor in constructing pontoon bridges which allowed Greene's tO CTOs army rivers before the could take At ciuszko returned and had a stormy yritish over it of ho native land part the times which preceded the sex the olution to prominent the clos Rey his in ond partition of that unhappy country In fight for the liberty of his country he was finally wounded In hat tle and captured by the Russians, who held him prisoner for two years, Then he released request to it America After his down in Si his was upon his Vis once more, settled then removed second visit here he Paris and land, where he was Iv at of the fatal £ iny vitzer the time As ha Switzeriand fo 111 from his horse dying at Solothurn, he requested that his heart should not day “when wns Poland removed from his was fo Cracow the cathedral there), placed in a bronze urn which Kept mt Zugwils, It remained until some thirty years ago wis removed to the little Chateau Rapperswil, nem free” body and embalmed So | {which buried was taken in and was there Then it chapel of Zurich, During all these years Polamd had been a political football for the pow ers of Europe.
