TEACHER PRAISES
*STAR PUPIL WHO
TOOK JERUSALEM
Denver—Tho pride of a teacher in
his star pupil Is the pride of Major
Charles H. Tye, a retired British offi
cer, In the success of General Sir
E. H. H. Allenby, K. C. 8., the con
queror of Jerusalem.
Major Tye is in Denver living
with his daughter, Mrs. Barbara M.
Mac Lure, of No. 1027 Steele street
Back in 1882, when Major Tye
was captain and adjutant of the
Sixth (Inniskilling) dragoons, sta
tioned at Natal, South Africa, he
taught young Allenby the rudiments
of military science.
"Allenby was a likely lad and a
smart officer," said his old instruc
tor. "He paid strict attention to
business and gave early promise of
becoming a distinguished leader.
"In fact, it is a remarkable coin
cidence that so many of the British
high commanders are cavalrymen.
Besides Allenby we see the names
of French, Halg, Byng, Robertson
and Remington—all belonging to the
mounted branch of the service and
all of them were former adjutants
of their regiments.
"The officers of the Inniskilling
Dragoons were a lively crowd. One
Sunday morning the adjutant of our
regiment reported to the Colonel
that the minister was ill and could
not perform the service, and asked
that he, the Adjutant, read it. The
Adjutants always reads out courts
martial, general orders and similar
pronounoem ents.
"The Colonel, who was known as
'Old Damme,' because he prefaced
nearly all his remarks with that
>word, said, 'Ah, damme, no; It is my
duty. I'll read it."
"During the time that he was
reading the prayers some of the
men began fidgeting about. 'What
is that noise about?' shouted the
Colonel. 'Damme, listen to the gos
pel.' "

BULGARSTOSEEK
CROSS IN RIVER
Epiphany to Be Celebrated
With Elaborate Cere
monies Tomorrow
Bulgarians in the borough will
celebrate Epiphany, the festival com
memorating the baptism of Christ in
the River Jordan, with elaborate
ceremonies to-morrow. This celebra
tion, which is the eighth consecutive
one since the. organization of the
local church, is expected to be the
largest ever.
Acommittee from the church mem
bers yesterday were successful in lo
cating a section along the river bank
at the foot of Francis street where
the water is not frozen. This section
church members claim is large
enough for the cross hurling serv
ices.
The celebration will include the
usuai ceremony of hurling a wooden
cross far into the icy waters of the
Susquehanna and its subsequent res
cue by sturdy sons of the Balkans, a
long street parade and services in the
Bulgarian Othodox Church, Front
and Franklin streets.
Two Hours' Services
The. services in the church will he
held at 7.30 o'clock. After two hours
' of worship the line of parade will be
headed by the Bulgarian Balkan
band and will move down Franklin
street to Main, down Main to Francis
and out Francis to the river, where
further ceremonies will be held.
The Rev. Father David Nakoff,
rector of the local church, will have
charge of the services at the church
and at the river bank. Epiphany is
celebrated by the Bulgarians thirteen
days later than in the Roman church
because the Bulgarian church clings
to the old Julian claendar.
Immediately after the celebration
the Bulgarian Balkan band will go
to Mt. Union with the Rev. Father
Nakoff, 'Where they will assist in *
similar celebration there.

Will Germany Yield To
America's Peace Aims?
"The key to the Temple of World Peace is in the hand of President Wilson," said J
Harden recently to an American correspondent in Germany and many people throughout the world
think that the key was fitted in the lock when the President restated America's war aims to Congress
on January Bth. n
Taken together, remarks the Chicago Tribune, the statements of war aims by Lloyd George
and President Wilson are "an unescapable challenge to the Governments of the Central Powers and
what perhaps is much more important to the consciences of their peoples." The New Yorker Staats-
Zeitung says that "Germany's spokesmen have been insistent that their opponents in the war state
definitely and concretely what they are fighting for. It is now the Central Powers' move and they
should be equally willing to restate their war aims as unequivocally as the United States and Great
Britain have stated theirs."
Throughout the length and breadth of America, the President's speech has" been warmly ap
plauded and endorsed. In the capitals of the countries allied with America in the war its reception
has been no less cordial, as shown in the leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for January 19th. This
article covers four pages and gives the result of a searching examination of the newspaper press of the world, includ
ing Germany, upon America's war aims as outlined in the President's message. Incidentally, the war terms of America,
Britain, and Russia are shown in three parallel columns, so that the reader can at once balance them.

FIRST WHITE BOY
WITH COLUMBUS
At Helm While Superiors
Slept, Youngster Was
Blamed For Wreck
Many phases of th® life of Co
lumbus offer mysteries that the his
torians have never been able to clear
away, and one student of the life of
the great explorer has come across
incidental mystery that has an
appealing interest. It relates to a
boy who accompanied the expedi
tion of 1492 —the only boy among
its members, and consequently the
first white boy to set foot in Ameri
ca.
The contemporary accounts of
A
the first' expedition of Columbus
mention the boy in question only
once and that briefly. They indi
cate that he was the only boy in the
expedition and they place on his
young shoulders the blame for the
great catastrophe that befell when
the Santa Maria was wrecked on the
coast of Hayti. To be sure the story
of the wreck shows that the boy was
less to blame than his elders, but it
was easy enough to make him the
scapegoat. It was the night before
Christmas, 1492, ten weeks after the
discovery of the land, and Colum
bus was pushing his search for gold
among the West Indies. The flag
ship, the Santa Maria, was skirting
the coast of Hayti, and late at night,
as the wind was light and the ship
barely moving, Columbus went to
his cabin for rest. lie passed the
helm over to the captain. He, too,
soon felt the need of sleep and went
below. His successor at the tiller
was a sailor and he shortly follow
ed the example of the admiral and
the master. Before he went he
awakened the lad jfr question and
told him to mind tne helm.
The boy did not go to sleep. He
was doubtless a live lad and he felt
the importance of being trusted to
steer the ship. But he was in strange
waters and the currents were treach
erous near that coast, says an ex
change. The ship struck a reef.
The admiral and crew rushed on
deck in terror. Of course they
blamed the boy. That was the way
of the world before 14 92 and the
fashion has never changed.
That was the end of the Santa
Maria. The crew nMhtd th* sbarJ
In safety and made a fort from Ux'
timbers of the wreck. In that
which they called La Navidad tuj
honor of the day, about forty of tbm
crew remained while their eompaivl
ions went home to Spain on tha
Pinta and the Nina. One historian!
mentions a tradition that th boy!
remained with this number, but It £•'
only a tradition. The fate of th,
forty is a mystery, for when the
second expedition of Columbn<
reached that Island a year later theral
were only a few eharred timbers'
and bones to be found. Perhaps th®
boy perished there. His name has
not even come down to us, but the'
brief glimpse that we have of him
is a fascinating one. There is some
thing to stimulate the'imagination In
that fleeting picture of the boy whoJ
stuck to his post while his
riors slept.
