La Libre Belgique was the patri-
otic Belgian newspaper which
throughout the • German occupation
of Belgium defied all efforts of the
military___ uithoritiee to supprer-s it.
The identity of its publisher and of
its editorial staff. remained unknown,
dsp,ite the mast -drastic measures the
Germans -took, and; the newspaper
never ; trissed publication, but appear:.
d regulnrly every week, now in this
art of the country, now in that. •
Baffled von Bissing.
It was a thorn in the side of the
German authorities, and General von
issing. in. particular made most
trenuous efforts, even employing
rmy spies, to ,discover the manner

is printing and publication. At one

ccasion, , in Septein'►er, 1916, the
even principal printers in Ghent
were arrested at random "until the
esponsihle persons," an the order,
who publish and print La Libre Bel-
ique are denounced or surrender
emselves to justice."
At different times numerous per -
ns were arrested and sentenced to

wspaper, and on the same ground

Gently as April, 1918, and one of

le printing press, and the Germans,

But all efforts: at -discovery were
uitless. La Libre Belgique contin-

Sometimes the newspaper poked
fun at the authorities and pretended
to give them clues and advice in
their search. "La Libre Belgique is
written and printed in a motorcar,"
it declared on one occasiou.
When the Vlaamsche Leeuw, an-
other secret newspaper, first appear-
ed in 1916 it contained an announce-
ment, "On sale now, here, every-
where. Editorial office, Komman-
dentur, Brussels, just above the print-
ing office of La Libre Belgique."
LUCKLESS NAMES
John Has Proved an Unlucky Name
in Royal Family.
The prize bounty case which came
up recently, and which had to do
with claims as to the sinking of the
German cruiser Breslau, brought out
a curious decision of the Admiralty.
The Goehen and Breslau were bril-
liantly
rit.liantly tackled by two of our small
destroyers, the Lizard and the Tig-
ress, yet the Admiralty suppressed
Abe names of the commanding offi-
cers. . -. .
It now turns out that the name
of the commander of the Lizard was
Lieut. Norman Ohlensohlager, and it
wan thought that the Teutonic sound
of the name would offend the sus-
ceptibilities of the British public.
The death of poor little Prince
John has called to mind the fact that
John has been an unlucky name for
Royalty all through English hietory.
From King John, who lost all his
treasure in the Wash, and died of a
surfeit of lampreys, there has never
been•.-z_1uel yetohn, __
Thomas has always been regarded
as an unlucky name, because it was
that of the doubting a¢ostle. So, toot
but to a leaser extent have Jernes and
Charles.

THE SYMBOLISM
OF WATERMARKS
ORIGINALLY PLACED ON PAPER
AS MAKER'S SIGNATURE •
At Present it Signifies a Standard of
Quality end Its Use is of
Advantage to All.
Watermarks, as they are generally
known to -day, merely serve as trade-
marks,-_ helping to distinguish one
grade of paper from another, and to
enhance for commercial purposes
tbe value of the liberal advertising
which the various paper ?rills em-
ploy. In earlier days the devices
were symbolic in their diameter,
and stood as the signatures of the
papermakers rather than as an ex-
ploitation of the paper itself.
In those times, of course, the paper
was all made by hand, and the .me-
thod of introducing . the 'watermark
‘bas primitive, yet this sante method
has obtained in hand -made papers
with slight improvements down to
the present day. The mold is a shal-
low box of ' wood, upon which a fine
wire cloth is stretched, which is made
of parallel wire. This is called the'
i',ieve. The design to be watermark-
ed is made by wires bent into the
shape of the desired characters, and
attached to the surface of the wire
cloth. o This remelts in making the
paper thinner where the device is
introduced, and the watermark thus
becomes transparent.
Of Ancient Origin.
Watermarks are

printing and they

design. Among
these may be mentioned the circ]
including the stylus and the star; th
bull's head and stylus, appearing in
many a variation; the bow and ar-
row; the jug; the anchor; the cross-
bow; the scales, and the cross—in
multitudinous variety.
A few years ago a irolume appear-
ed in which many deductions were
made concerning these watermarks.
According to the theory advanced,
papermaking was introduced into
Europe by the Crusaders or the
Moors, and first, became prominent
in establishing the industry in Pro-
vence. Here was the site of a primi-
tive civilization during the Middle
Ages, and it was also the home of the
Albigenses, who were the most pow-
erful opponents the Roman Catholic
Church had before the Reformation,
and who were both rationalists and
mystics. Reasoning on this basis,
the author claims that the early pa-
permakers were Albigenses, id that
driven from '• their strongholds, they
were obliged to seek new locations
for the establishment of their indus-
try. Never ceasing in their devotion
to their • secret doctrines, they found i
it necessary to devise some means for
communicating Writ% each oder- and

this theory, provided- an exeunt ve-

ever, publishers have recognized the;
opportunity which the watermark of-
fers to introduce, ther own mono-
gram, or, in other words, to give to
the complete volume unity to which
the presence of the house mark con-
tributes in an indefinite but agree-
able way.
The - Russian papermakers have
perhaps been the most ingenious in
developing watermarks, which in
some cases cover the entire sheet,
bet ,the Japanese have been more
artistic. While the Russians employ
imperial wreaths, arms and portraits
beautifully reproduced, the Japanese
introduce in -artistic fashion flying
birds, dolphins, floral designs, land-
scapes. 'buildings, mountains and ,
clouds. Some of these watermarked!

theory. It is still only safe to as-

were placed in the paper as a guar-
antee of their quality, and without
so eerious a purpose swig suggested
to the theory advanced.
Until the invention of papermak-
ing machinery in 1798, watermarked
paper was universal except in the
inferior unbleached Swiss varieties.

Who Cares Now
Because style decrees that women
crowd and buckle up their tender toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
corns, then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn growlhard. This suicidal habit
may c.:use lockjaw and women are
warned to stop it.
A few drops of a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives .quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone, which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
mote every hard or -soft corn or callus
