Runo XL]

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Drew from out the sheath his knife-blade,

From his side the cold sharp iron,

That the pike might be divided,

And he cut the fish to pieces,

And he spoke the words which follow:

“Let the youngest of the maidens,

Cook the pike that we have captured,

Let her mince it for our breakfast,

That on fish we make our dinner.”

Then the maidens set to cooking,

Ten there were who made the effort,

And they cooked the pike for eating,

And they minced it for their breakfast;

On the reefs the bones they scattered,

On the rocks they left the fishbones.

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Saw the bones where they were lying,

And he turned to look upon them,

And he spoke the words which follow:

“What might perhaps be fashioned from them,

From the pike’s teeth be constructed,

From the fragments of the jawbones,

Were they to the smithy taken,

To the skilful smith entrusted,

To the hands of one most skilful?”

Said the smith, said Ilmarinen,

“Nothing comes from what is useless,

Nothing can be made of fishbones,

By a smith in smithy working,

Though to skilful smith entrusted,

To the hands of one most skilful.”

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Answered in the words which follow:

“Yet a harp might be constructed

Even of the bones of fishes,

If there were a skilful workman,

Who could from the bones construct it.”

As no craftsman there was present,

And there was no skilful workman

. With the Princes? Quick! There is no time to lose. Send her to me, I command it. Do you hear, I command it! Who attends Her Highness?

. The Baroness von Rosenberg.

. Ah! Has the Baroness the temerity to present herself in the Palace? Good! I have an account to settle with the Baroness. [The  retires] And yet you intrude yourself into my presence, you beg me to condone, to approve your behavior! To think that I have railed all these years against the inroads of socialism, of anarchy, the forces of revolution! No, their bombs are preferable a thousand times, they reinforce and buttress the principle of authority by a sort of natural reaction, but this anarchy from above, this dissolution of all decency and morality, is infinitely more dangerous. Better fall before a blow than decay gradually and disintegrate!

. Your Majesty is quite correct.

. The punishment shall fit the offense, I promise you.

. Your Majesty, may I retire? Argument is useless in your present state of mind. I am not eager to meet my cousin. Obviously, her offense is responsible for our suffering the same punishment for faults which are distinct. I have not been recreant to my duty; my love is noble, it is legitimate. Permit me to kiss Your Majesty's hand. My affection will never fail. My only request is that you do not pursue me with your displeasure now that I am banished from Suavia; I ask it as a favor. My fortune is not large, so that my task will be difficult. I cannot forecast my future means of support—I only know that whatever they may be, they will not be unworthy of a gentleman, although he may no longer be Prince. Good-by, Your Majesty. Some day you will judge me more justly.

. The poor Prince has my sympathy.

. How so? He has the strength of mind to have his own way; let him fortify it by opposing mine. A Prince of Suavia married to a comic-opera singer! It seems incredible.

. Love, Your Majesty.

. Love? Then why did he marry?

. I am told the lady is virtuous.

. Always distrust that brand of virtue which keeps one eye upon marriage. I am told that she is an experienced woman. My nephew is an ass, utterly ignorant, both of women and of the world. If she had been a respectable actress, a legitimate artist in one of the subsidized theatres—but a comic-opera singer, who appeared only a month ago in "La belle Hélène" and "La Fille de Mme. {SIC|Angôt|Angot|nodash}}"! It would be impossible to present such a woman at Court. As they announced her, the ushers would whistle the airs which they had heard her sing at the theatre the evening previously.—Ah! The Princess! Retire, but remain within call.

. Oh, uncle!—Your Majesty…

. Do not attempt to embrace me. [To the  and ] Who desired you to come?

. Don't scold them! They all love me; and I love them, too. Everybody seems to love me; the crowds ran after me, shouting, down the streets. Nobody has forgotten Helena—Princess Bebé, as they used to call me—for I was the life of the Palace in those days, and I really believe I left my heart behind me when I went away. You do love me, don't you, you dear children? Margaret, poor girl, never let them trifle with your heart as they did with

 "The stench you smelt was effected by some brimstone we had left burning on the staircase: The extinguishing of the light in the lamp, hanging over the cenotaph, and of that which you had taken with you, was caused by a certain spirit I had poured in it as we descended the staircase: Perhaps you will recollect that I took it from you before I began my juggling tricks, as I was leading the way into the cellar. The spirit in the lamp over the cenotaph had previously been poured into it by one of my associates; and the smoke caused by the artificial lightning smothered the light until it evaporated in the arched vault. After the second apparition had disappeared, I overturned the lamp; and the rest you will be able to unravel without my assistance."

 mine; I wish you all the happiness which I might have found in the world. Don't you yield one jot when they attempt to marry you to a man whom you do not love, and never can.

. Don't cry, Helena! Helena, I don't want you to go away!

. That will do. Countess, remove the Princes.

. Highnesses

. Helena and I must confer for the last time.

. For the last time? You are inflexible.

. Grandfather is horribly angry.

. Will all the toys you promised me surely come to-day?

. Of course they will! Just you wait and see. I brought you an automobile, and an encampment with soldiers in it that really walk, and cannon that really go off.

. Oh, how I love you!

. Follow me.

. Grandfather

. What is this? You are confined to your rooms for the remainder of the day. We have already had sufficient.

. Your Majesty…

. Well, why do you come? Do you fancy that I am so weak that a flood of tears can induce me to forget the duty which I owe to our house, even supposing that they were genuine? If I did not judge you as Emperor, yet as head of the family, I should be obliged to repeat what you already know: in my sight you are dead.

. You are very cruel. I asked for advice, for protection, and you refused to hear me. Why did you oppose my divorce?

. A divorce in our family?

 been carried on and executed under my direction, here is the key to it."

"Ever since the Hn recruiting officer had known me at T; I visited that town very seldom, though I possessed a house there, and was esteemed by my neighbours and fellow citizens."

"An acquaintance of mine who kept a public house within a small distance from T, took a large Inn at that town, and expected to do very well, but an adjacent Inn which was in great renown, disappointed all his hopes, and reduced him soon to very distressing circumstances. He disclosed his distresses to me as I once happened to come to T, and I advised him to ruin the neighbouring Inn by the introduction of a ghost."

"The owner of the house had died a little time ago, and his son, a young unexperienced and simple lad, carried on the business. We

. Apparently the laws of your Empire are not equally for all men. I have better reason than most to appeal to them, since you married me against my will.

. To a Prince who was worthy of your love.

. You have witnessed my sufferings, Baroness.

. Alas! Poor dear!

. The Prince was a brute, and you know it. You knew me, too; you knew that I could not be happy with such a man.

. The performance of duty is a gratification which we have always with us, as it depends wholly upon ourselves. Doubtless it is one of the subtler forms of happiness, but for that very reason appropriate to those of us who have been born into exalted station—whether through good or evil fortune.

. You are a man and a sovereign. It is easy for you to compensate yourself for whatever sacrifices you may make by noble deeds and glorious, victorious exploits. But love is the only motive of a woman's heart—without love, duty, ambition, sacrifice, the moral law, even religious faith, have no meaning; but with love she can accomplish all things without so much as a thought of duty, or obligation, or punishment, or reward, simply because it is love. Would you condemn me to live without love all my life? A woman might resign herself to living without being loved, but never to living without loving. How would it be possible to live? I could have done my duty by the Prince as his wife if he had not loved me; but that was not his only fault. He is a gross, contemptible person, as you know, incapable of inspiring one single regret, not even pity, which is the last refuge of the heart that struggles to maintain a show of love when love itself is gone.

 bribed some of his servants to make a noise in the night, and to spread the rumour about, that the house was haunted, and that the late possessor of it appeared at midnight, frightening the guests in a terrible manner."

"This artifice succeeded to the utmost of our wishes, and when I left T, a few months after, the Inn of my friend, which always had been empty, was crowded with travellers, while that of his neighbour was the lonely haunt of the disguised spectres."

"Having great reason to apprehend that our machination would be detected, sooner or later, I promised my friend, who dreaded the same, to return within a twelvemonth, and to procure him an opportunity of purchasing the haunted Inn, on reasonable terms. I was as good as my word, returned to T, and what farther happened you know."

"At first I was rather uneasy that the foreign officer had taken lodgings at the haunt-

The purpose of this paper is to establish the connection between the color system represented by the Munsell Book of Color and the system adopted in 1931 by the International Commission on Illumination. The data contained herein were obtained during 1934, and were originally intended for publication in the forthcoming report of the Optical Society of America Committee on Colorimetry. When the present series of papers was recently proposed, it seemed appropriate that publication should not be further delayed.

. True, Your Majesty! True, and we know it. Poor dear!

. Baroness, I shall have a word with you later. It was a happy thought to attach you to the Princess Helena. You have been zealous in the cause of decorum.

. Your Majesty!

. I should have inquired into your past history more fully.

. Your Majesty! Your Highness! I protest; I cannot submit to this. I am insulted, outraged, yet I am unable to defend myself, because you are Emperor. Such an insinuation is unworthy of you. You insult the Baroness von Rosenberg!

. Not so loud.—Your Majesty is severe with the poor Baroness.

. The accusation is horrible—atrocious! Is this the reward of years of faithful service? I have sacrificed my life to Your Majesty. Her Highness is at liberty to repeat the advice which I have given her. No doubt Her Highness has made mistakes, she may have committed indiscretions even, which I regret, but you have no idea what she might have committed had I not been present to prevent her. She would have eloped two months before she did, if it had not been for me.

. Have we gained anything, in your judgment, by the delay?

. I appeal to Her Highness. Naturally, I sympathized with her desire for a divorce, but in her love-affair with Herr Rosmer I have been her most consistent, her most vigorous opponent.

. Probably that explains how it was that they met at your house.

"His comrades, chicken-hearted like himself, proposed to watch with him in the haunted house, and their imagination played them a trick which, most unexpectedly, favored the execution of my plan."

"They had watched already three successive nights, without either hearing or seeing any thing uncommon; the fourth night a tempest was raging, without their perceiving it, being prevented from doing it by the great quantity of punch they had swallowed, and the roaring noise which was the natural consequence of their inebriation."

Before the war the few scattered Czechs in Canada had not even thought of the possibility that they might have an all-Canadian organization of their own. But the same crying need that called into being organizations of Czechs and Slovaks in every Allied and neutral country has brought about the organization of the Canadian branch of the Bohemian National Alliance with headquarters in Winnipeg. As early as 1915 this body had branches in the prairie and Rocky Mountain provinces, and in 1916 other branches were organized in Ontario and the Maritime provinces, until now their number amounts to 19. For the last two years certificate of membership in the Bohemian National Alliance was satisfactory evidence to the Canadian authorities that the holder is an alien friend, and restrictions imposed upon other Austrian subjects did not apply to members of the Bohemian Alliance. Although the Czech settlers in Canada number only a few thousands and are scattered in small settlements from Cape Breton to Vancouver, they have furnished one company of volunteers for the Canadian army, not counting others that volunteered for the various local units of oversea forces. All these men are workingmen and farmers; they have not a single professional man among them, and for that reason are entitled to so much the more credit.

The scattered branch societies of the Bohemian National Alliance of Canada held a convention in Winnipeg on December 7 to 9. Following delegates were present: Frank Vejr for Frank, Alta; Frank Pail for Prague, Alta.; Leo Schatny for Marriott, Sask.; Joseph Hájek for a number of branches in Saskatchewan; Wm. Ruda for the Winnipeg branch of the National Alliance of Bohemian Catholics; Frank Kozel for the other Winnipeg branch, Václav Pátek for the Winnipeg beneficial society of Bohemians. Mr. Joseph Wagner was accredited as delegate for the local societies of Natal, B. C, Hamilton, Ont., Vancouver, B. C, Staffordville, Alta., River Hebert, N. S., and New Waterford, N. S.

Reports were rendered by the various officers; of special interest was the report of Sergt. Fibiger who was instrumental in recruiting several hundred Czech volunteers and himself served more than a year abroad. Officers elected for the coming year were: Joseph Wagner, president, V. Moravec, vice-president, Wm. Ruda, secretary, V. Blaha, treasurer, Frank Kozel and Jos. Dojáček, auditing committee. A telegram of greetings was read from Chas. Pergler, Czechoslovak commissioner in the United States; it was voted to ask Mr. Pergler for his co-operation in securing the speedy appointment of a Czechoslovak consul in Canada.

. It was already too late at the time. Your Majesty, if an open scandal was to be avoided.

. But the flight? Who promoted it?—a fitting end to the adventure!

. The Princess threatened suicide, and I was confident that she was irresponsible. How shall I convince Your Majesty? I adore the Princess.

. Baroness, I shall be grateful to you forever.

. I have been insulted, I have lost the favor of the Emperor, the honor of a Rosenberg has been called in question! The Emperor reflects upon my past—my past, which was exemplary in virtue. I throw myself upon Your Highness for consolation, my Princess whom I adore!

. I shall never desert you, Baroness, my heart, my life, my soul!

. This is too much, upon my honor! Baroness, you are insufferable. Never appear again at Court, no matter what the provocation.—Let us have done once for all. I assume that your excuses are identical with your cousin's, who is another hero of love romance. Apparently you have very little faith in love as the ideal road to happiness, since you desire to have your allowance as Princess continued as well. Am I right?

. You insult me. I merely ask that you grant my application for a divorce, so that I may dispose of my hand freely, as my heart dictates.

. After running away? What good would that do you? Marriage with Herr Rosmer, as a corespondent, would be extra-legal, to say the least.

. I am unable to see it. Herr Rosmer travelled with me; it was his duty as the Prince's secretary.

 the storm, on their return from the search they had been making, the tempest ceased a few seconds, and it was natural that one of them, who very wisely looked out of the window, could perceive nothing. Being chilled with dread and apprehension, he forgot to bolt the window; his companions had, from like reasons, neglected to shut the door, and the first gust of wind finding no resistance, threw the window and the door suddenly open, the lights were extinguished, and their disordered fancy effected now, what I perhaps would have attempted in vain, with all my juggling skill. Flashes of lightning illuminated the room, the tremenduous roaring of thunder shook the house, one of the company overturned the table, in his fright, and they really fancied to see a phantom, which only existed in their disordered imagination, harrowed up by fearful apprehensions and superstitious terror. What farther happened I need not tell you."

 "My spies informed me of the departure of the officer, who had resided at the haunted Inn, and of the route he had taken; they likewise apprised me of his return. I hastened to meet him on the road, and the conjuration of the ghost was agreed on."

"Being no stranger to the cowardly disposition of his friends, I apprehended not the least danger from their being present at the experiment, and willingly consented that he should bring with him some of them."

"However, I was very much mistaken, because two of them were gentlemen for whom I was not prepared, and who had been already once deceived by Volkert; yet I did not entirely miss my aim, and the haunted Inn was sold, soon after, to my friend, on very low terms; the simpleton, who had been the owner of it, and who believed still in the reality of the apparition, in spite of what he had seen and heard, when I conjured

 I was not in love with him at the time; the Baroness will tell you so.

. Upon the honor of my ancestors!

. Baroness, I remain unconvinced. An end to this nonsense. The scandal which you have created throughout the civilized world by your conduct, the indelible blot which it has cast upon the good name of our house, not to speak of the moral and political disorders which your escapades have encouraged in the Empire, deserve punishment which shall be exemplary. Princess Helena, there is one way in which you may obtain pardon, and only one—indeed, in some measure it may be said to justify it—you may have yourself declared insane, and submit to confinement in one of the royal residences for an indefinite period, dependent upon your good sense and deportment.

. Thanks. If I am guilty, I prefer to be responsible for my acts. Have you no saner suggestion for my reformation? Frankly, I fail to appreciate your solicitude for the family honor. The Empire would feel itself far more secure, in my opinion, if it were to believe that we were capable of falling in love in our right minds, than if it were to get the idea that we are all of us such crazy imbeciles that we are incapable of anything. If you once begin to declare members of our family insane, you will have occupation to last you for the rest of your life. It will be a sorry outlook for the nation to find itself governed by a family in which there are so many persons without sense.

. Is this a joke? Are you laughing at me?

. No, I am not laughing. I realize now that it was a mistake for me to throw myself upon the mercy of a man who never had any.

. Outrageous insolence! Out of my sight! You are banished from Suavia!

"The apparition itself was effected by means of a camera-obscura, in an apartment beneath that where I performed the cheat, some boards in the floor having the night before been sawed through, after we had made a hole in the ceiling of the lower chamber. The boards which covered the opening close to the wall were replaced in such a manner, that they could be removed from below, by means of which, the smoke could ascend from the lower apartment, and represent the picture in the machine—smoke and darkness put the finishing stroke to the deception."

Nov. 4, 1869] prospectus of a biography of this illustrious man of science, which he intends to publish. Forty new members were admitted. Prof. Zöllner continued his lecture on his observations of the solar protuberances, and on a method of ascertaining the movements of celestial bodies by means of spectral analysis. His views were discussed by MM. Oppolzer, Scheibner, and Struve. A number of proof-prints of Prof. Heis' (Munster) stellar maps were committed to MM. Julius Schmidt and Prof Galle, to report upon. M. de Littrow, superintendent of the Vienna University Observatory, communicated and explained the plan of the new Observatory to be built there, and commented upon the recent endeavours of some calculators of the solar parallax to derive useful results from Father Hell's observations, dating from 1769, proving these attempts to be altogether useless, by exhibiting the original diaries of this observer, and distributing fac-similes of the most important passages of them. A communication, concerning the establishment of a Humboldt Foundation at Vienna, was read.

September 16.—The president and council were elected; M. Struve, President; Prof. Bruhns, Vice-President; MM. Auwers and Winnecke, secretaries; Prof. Zöllner, Librarian; M. Auerbach, Treasurer; MM. Argelander and de Littrow, members of the Council. A new member was admitted. Mr. Julius Schmidt read his report on Prof. Heis's stellar maps. Prof. Forster read a paper concerning the solar eclipse of August 18, 1868, with Dr. Tieb's remarks on the photograms of it, taken at Aden, and proposed that the President and Council should ensure their assistance on the occasion of the next transit of Venus to any astronomers who should apply for it. The motion has been adopted. Dr. Kaiser gave an account of his observations concerning the ellipsoidal form of the Moon, and the solar protuberances, which elicited a reply from Prof. Zöllner, M. de Littrow communicated the first report of the permanent Adriatic Commission, and the programme of the prizes for the discovery of comets, lately proposed by the Imperial Academy of Vienna. Prof Schönfeld exhibited a letter from Fabricius to Tycho Brahe (1596), in which the first notice of Mira Ceti is given, and entered into historical details concerning this variable star. The session of 1869 was closed by thanks voted to the Imperial Academy for having placed suitable localities at the disposal of the Society.

CHEMISTRY

Preparation of Uranium

M. Peligot has communicated to the Annales de Chimie et de Physique [xvii. 368] a short note on the preparation of uranium. A mixture of 75 grammes of uranous chloride, 150 grammes of dry potassium chloride, and 50 grammes of sodium in fragments, is introduced into a porcelain crucible, itself surrounded by a plumbago crucible. The reaction is effected in a wind furnace, at the temperature of redness; but the heat must be increased for a short time at the close of the operation. In the black slag may be found, after cooling, globules of fused uranium. Throughout the operation, it is necessary to avoid the presence both of moisture and atmospheric air.

A specimen of the metal prepared in this way by M. Valenciennes had the specific gravity, l8.33. Uranium, is, therefore, one of the densest of metals.

Stannous Chloride and Acids of Arsenic

A. Bettendorff has examined the action of stannous chloride on the oxygen acids of arsenic. When a solution of stannous chloride in fuming hydrochloric acid is added to a solution of arsenious or arsenic oxide in the same acid, a brown precipitate is formed, which, after proper washing and drying, consists of metallic arsenic mixed with a small quantity of stannic oxide. In an aqueous solution of arsenious or arsenic acid, stannous chloride produces no precipitate; but on adding strong hydrochloric acid till the liquid fumes slightly, precipitation takes place. Arseniferous hydrochloric acid of sp. gr. 1.182 to 1.135 gives an immediate precipitate; the same diluted to sp. gr. 1.115 gives imperfect precipitation after some time; and in a similar solution of sp. gr. 1.100, no precipitation takes place. From this it may be inferred that the reaction occurs only between stannous chloride and arsenious chloride; further, that in a solution of arsenious acid in hydrochloric acid of sp. gr. 1.115 part of the arsenic is present as chloride, but that hydrochloric acid of sp. gr. 1.100 dissolves arsenious acid as such, without converting it into chloride. The reaction above described is extremely delicate, and capable of detecting 1 pt. of arsenic in a million parts of solution. On antimony compounds stannous chloride exerts no reducing action, even after prolonged heating: hence the above-described reaction may be used to detect the presence of arsenic in antimony compounds, the solution being previously saturated with hydrochloric acid gas. Another useful application of the same reaction is to the preparation of hydrochloric acid free from arsenic; 421 grms. of crude hydrochloric acid of sp. gr. 1.164 were mixed with a fuming solution of stannous chloride, the precipitate separated by filtration after twenty-four hours, and the hydrochloric acid distilled, the receiver being changed after the first tenth had passed over, and the remaining liquid distilled nearly to dryness. The acid thus obtained gave not the slightest indications of arsenic, either by Marsh's test or by precipitation with hydrogen sulphide. [Zeitschr. f. Chem. (2), v. 492.]

Dichlorinated Aldehyde

Paterno has obtained dichlorinated aldehyde C2H2Cl2O by the action of sulphuric acid on dichloracetal. It is a liquid boiling at 89°–90°, attracts moisture from the air, and is thereby converted into a hydrate, which crystallises in beautiful laminæ. Left to itself, even in sealed tubes, it becomes dense, and changes into a white amorphous mass, which has the aspect of porcelain; but, when heated to 120°, is reconverted into the original product. Dichlorinated aldehyde dissolves without decomposition in alcohol and ether; when poured into water, it first sinks to the bottom and then dissolves, especially on application of heat; in short, it exhibits the most complete analogy with chloral. It is difficult to oxidise, its vapour not undergoing any sensible alteration when mixed with air or oxygen and passed over red-hot spongy platinum; but when gently heated with several times its own volume of fuming nitric acid, it is energetically attacked and converted into dichloracetic acid C2H2Cl2O2. Phosphoric pentachloride attacks it strongly, producing the compound C4H4Cl6O or C2H2Cl2O. C2H2Cl4, the action doubtless consisting in the replacement of O by Cl2 (as in the action of PCl5 on aldehydes in general), whereby C2H2Cl4 is produced, which, as soon as it is formed, unites with a portion of the undecomposed dichlorinated aldehyde, producing the compound C4H4Cl6O. The constitution of this body may be represented by the following formulæ:—

CHCl2—CH2—O—CCl2—CHCl2

or perhaps by

CHCl2—CHCl—O—CHCl—CHCl2

The compound C4H4Cl6O is a colourless oil, having an irritating odour, heavier than water, soluble in alcohol and ether; it distils at 250° emitting acid vapours. Alcoholic potash attacks it strongly, with evolution of heat, and formation of potassium chloride; and, on adding water to the resulting liquid, a heavy aromatic oil separates, boiling at 196°, and having the composition C4H2Cl4O—that is to say, containing 2HCl less than the preceding. This last compound unites directly with four atoms of bromine, forming the crystalline compound C4H2Cl4Br4O. In this respect, the compound C4H2Cl4O is analogous to Malaguti's chloroxethose C4H6O2, which he obtained by abstracting four atoms of chlorine from perchlorinated ethylic oxide C4Cl100. According to this analogy, the compound C4H4Cl6O may be designated as hexchlorinated ethylic oxide, and C4H2Cl4Br4O as tetrachloro-tetrabrominated ethylic oxide. The two compounds C4Cl6O and C4H2Cl4O may also be regarded, respectively, as perchlorinated vinyl oxide and tetrachlorinated vinyl oxide.—[Giornale di Scienze di Palermo, v. 123, 127.]

Colouring Matter of Wine

Fr. Ponchin proposes the use of a solution of potassium permanganate acidulated with sulphuric acid to distinguish between the natural colouring matter of wine and the various substances added to imitate that colour. For this purpose a normal solution of 2 grammes of the permanganate in lOO grammes of distilled water is prepared when wanted for use; 15 grammes of this solution acidulated, and 3 drops of pure sulphuric acid, are added to 15 grammes of normal red wine contained in a test-tube, and the liquid after being shaken is left at rest. The greater part of the colouring matter is then slowly precipitated in red flocks, while the supernatant liquid retains the same colour, without weakening, for 24 hours afterwards. After a few days, however, the precipitate acquires a deeper red colour and the liquid becomes nearly colourless. For very deeply coloured wines a larger proportion of the normal solution must be used, care being, however, taken not to add it in excess, as that

Yes, we are banished because we live our own lives in the sincerity of our affections, because we refuse to learn hypocrisy of you and of the Princes you tolerate about your throne, and who are worthy of it, because they maintain a hollow pretense of love and respect for what nobody any longer either loves or respects. Prince Michael may remain at Court in the enjoyment of all his dignities; he will never marry an actress like Prince Stephen, because he is provided with three or four of them already; Princess Leonora may remain—she will not hear of a divorce; nothing is so convenient as a husband to cover up her antipathy to marriage; Princess Clothilda may remain, who never allowed her husband to interfere with her. They are virtuous officially, they neither shock nor jeopardize the security of the Empire! I am not built that way. You are right; I was a fool to appeal to you and your laws, when all I had to do was to satisfy my own conscience. Could anything be more ridiculous? Why appeal to others for what we have already in ourselves? Why revolutionize the world when it is so easy to revolutionize our own consciences? From this hour forth, I give you warning: I, Princess Helena, have become a ferocious anarchist. The world, your Empire, your precious society, the whole of it, with its laws, its morality and its lies—well, you can have it, it is good enough for you; let it remain as it is; there are people who do not know how to live in any other way—but I tell you that a bomb has burst in my heart, in my life, that has blown into a thousand fragments all this world, with its laws and its lies! Let me out. Baroness. Follow me!

On my journey I happened to come to the house where you was confined, and felt the highest satisfaction when I had it in my power to make you some atonement for the many wrongs you had suffered by me. My intention was to live here in A, in solitude and retirement, and to dedicate the rest of my miserable life to repentance, and thus to make my peace with God: But my former lawless companions soon found out my retreat and forced me to renew my crimes, and to assist them in their infernal deeds."

"The crime for which I am confined here you very likely know: All I can say, in order to palliate this last transgression, is, that it is one of the noblest deeds I ever performed, and it would not give me the least uneasiness, if the execution of it had not brought destruction on other people beside myself."

 Quite a number of men well known in the Bohemian circles of America have turned up in Prague since the arrival of President Masaryk. There is Jaroslav Císař, the president’s private secretary of whom the journalists had quite a little to say. There is Ven Švarc, a Cleveland lawyer, who represents certain American news papers in Bohemia. There is also Capt. Ferdinand Písecký who spent more than a year in the United States and gave lectures in nearly all the Czech and Slovak settlements; Dr. L. J. Fisher, former president of the Bohemian National Alliance and later medical officer in the Czechoslovak Army, has also arrived with a convoy of invalids in Prague.

But the big figures from America, at least in the Prague newspapers, are two well known workers in the cause of Czechoslovak independence, Capt. Emanuel Voska and Joseph Tvrzický. Mr. Voska, formerly chairman of the New York district committee of the Alliance, was granted a commission in the Intelligence Division of the U. S. Army last May and was stationed in Paris. He arrived in Prague on January 10th with Mr. George Creel, chairman of the Committee on Public Information, and has been lionized ever since. He received a great reception upon his arrival, big boosts by the newspapers, a tremendous ovation in his native city of Kutná Hora, spoke at dozens of meetings, had freedom of cities conferred upon him, and among other things Emmy Destinn sang at a concert in his honor. Mr. Tvrzický threw himself at once into the fight against Alois Muna and his fellow bolshevists from Russia who troubled the harmoniiusharmonious [sic] political life of Bohemia just at that time. At one meeting he spoke three times, addressing an overflow crowd from a tree. He tells the people what their brothers in America have done for them and exhorts the nation to make short thrift of any disturbancers. The papers state that he opened a bureau in the office of the old National Council to give information about conditions in America and to facilitate communication between relatives that had been out of touch during the war.

The National Alliance of Bohemian Catholics which was established on February 6, 1917, for the purpose of cooperating with the Bohemian National Alliance in the campaign for Czechoslovak independence held a convention in Chicago on February 25th and 26th. The delegates present numbered 75, and in addition a large number of priests from many states attended.

The convention was called to order by the Rev. Innocent Kestl, president of the Alliance, who reviewed the activities of the organization during the past two years. Joseph J. Janda of Chicago was then elected chairman of the meeting, and Frank Šindelář submited a detailed report of his work as secretary of the Alliance for the past two years. From the report it appeared that the National Alliance of Bohemian Catholics had at present time 132 branches in the United States and Canada. Mr. Šindelář’s efficient work as secretary of the Alliance received the warmest approval of the convention. It was voted to continue the existence of the organization in the general interest of Bohemian Catholics, the head quarters will remain in Chicago. The next convention will be held again in Chicago in June 1920.

Officers elected for the coming term are as follows: John Straka, president: Joseph E. Mašek, Anton V. Tesař, Hynek Dostál, V. J. Jelínek, vice presidents: Rev. Frank Jedlička, chaplain; John Voller was elected secretary, since the present secretary refused reelection, Joseph Kopecký was elected for treasurer and Mrs. Rose Nedvěd, Mrs. Marie Novotny, J. J. Janda, Charles Radouš and John F. Novotný were elected members of the executive committee.

American business men of Slovak birth and descent met in Cleveland on February 18th to discuss the problems of investments in Slovakia, so as to create more employment over there and increase commercial relations between the Czechoslovak Republic and the United States. More than a hundred representative business men attended the conference. The result of the deliberations was to establish a Czechoslovak Commercial Corporation of America with a capital of one million dollars, and those present subscribed at once the sum of $100,000.

Following persons were elected to organize the company; A. S. Ambrose of Bridgeport, chairman; Paul Kvorka of Chicago, vice-chairman; Michael Bosak of Scranton, treasurer; Ivan Bielek, of Pittsburgh, secretary; Clement Ihriský, Leo Zaruba, John Pankuch, Joseph Schromofský and John Hrivnák, members of the committee. It is the intention of the new corporation to buy the necessaries of life, farming implements, etc., in wholesale and to establish in Slovakia local depots for the sale of this merchandise to peasants at low rates. This undertaking has the support of the Slovak League of America and its president, Albert Mamatey.

Who could make a harp of fishbones,

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Then began the harp to fashion,

And himself the work accomplished,

And he made a harp of pikebones,

Fit to give unending pleasure.

Out of what did he construct it?

Chiefly from the great pike’s jawbones,

Whence obtained he pegs to suit it?

Of the teeth of pike he made them;

Out of what were harpstrings fashioned?

From the hairs of Hiisi’s gelding.

Now the instrument was ready,

And the kantele completed,

Fashioned from the pike’s great jawbones,

And from fins of fish constructed.

Thereupon the youths came forward,

Forward came the married heroes,

And the half-grown boys came forward,

And the little girls came likewise,

Maidens young, and aged women,

And the women middle-aged,

All advanced the harp to gaze on,

And the instrument examine.

On the instrument of fishbone,

On the kantele of fishbone.

Played the young and played the aged,

Likewise played the middle-agèd,

Played the young, and moved their fingers,

 Suavia this very day without respite of one hour at Court upon any pretext whatsoever. The Crown Council which was set for this afternoon is suspended. Was there business of importance to attend to?

. The new law of Social Reform.

. A proper occasion for its promulgation! Are we to become public laughing-stocks? Shall I pretend to reform society when my own house, my own family, are in the state which all the world sees? Is there anything else?

. Nothing of importance. Oh, your signature to a decree conferring a pension upon our national poet.

. National poet? Poets, philosophers, authors are to blame! They unsettle men's minds, they turn the world upside down. Undisciplined fools—madmen, all of them! Do not talk to me about poets. Ah! By the way, that student's song about the Princess, her amours… Better suppress it. Do you happen to have heard it by any chance? What does it say?

Papuan Campaign: the Buna-Sanananda Operation is the second of a series called AMERICAN FORCES IN ACTION. The series was prepared at the suggestion of General of the Army George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff. His foreword, as used in the original edition, appears on the previous page. The series was originally designed for military personnel only and primarily for wounded soldiers in hospitals to tell them the military story of the campaigns and battles in which they served. With the cessation of hostilities, Papuan Campaign is released as a public document.

This study was based on the best military records available. Although in its published form it contains no documentation, the original manuscript, fully documented, is on file in the War Department. Aerial photographs are by the Allied Air Forces, S. W. P. A.; all others are by the U. S. Army Signal Corps.

Readers are urged to send directly to the Historical Division, War Department, Washington 25, D. C., comments, criticisms, and additional information which may be of value in the preparation of a complete and definitive history of the Buna-Sanananda operation. IV

 : Gives us fortitude to bear our trials! Who cares whether we bear them or not? Listen, Frank. I had a dream the other night. I used to dream of Chris in France all the horrors I’d ever heard or read about  but this was something different. Perhaps it wasn’t a dream perhaps it was a vision  a revelation. It was out in France, somewhere behind the lines, in a wrecked village with a church that had no tower left, and a few houses and shops filthy, tumbledown places, and dirty, bare-armed, slouchy women sitting at their doors. And in one of the shops was Chris, standing talking across a counter to an old man in a blouse—an old man with a scar running into his beard, and smiling a curious smile, lewd and yet benevolent  somehow complete  like the soul of the universe smiling, knowing everything and disregarding everything  seeing me and seeing the slouchy woman at her door  and seeing both of us alike  equally important  or unimportant. And Chris was leaning against the counter with his eyes glazed. It was his spirit not his body. That lay rotting out there in the mud. He was looking at two crystals that the old man was showing him looking into them. In one of them was Margaret oh, not as we see her in her raincoat and that awful hat, but transfigured  eternal.

He looked into Margaret’s crystal for a long time, and gave just a glance at ours before he put out his hand for hers  and his sleeve caught our ball and sent it on to the floor, shivered into a thousand pieces. The old man went on smiling, just the same no more interested in us than in the bare-armed woman next door.

Nobody cares.

URING the early months of 1942 the Japanese were on the offensive everywhere in the Southwest Pacific and their armies seemed to be invincible. On 10 December 1941, Japanese forces landed in the Philippines; on 15 February 1942, Singapore fell; within a month the Netherlands Indies were conquered. Then the attack shifted farther to the southeast, and from Rabaul in New Britain, which had been occupied on 23 January, the Japanese High Command planned a two-pronged drive. One prong was to strike for control of southeastern New Guinea; the other was to thrust through the Solomon Islands to cut the supply line from America to Australia.

Neither attack reached its objective. When a Japanese convoy pushed around the eastern tip of New Guinea threatening Port Moresby and northeastern Australia, it met American naval forces. In the ensuing Battle of the Coral Sea (4–8 May 1942), the Japanese suffered a decisive defeat. Five months later, the Japanese advance toward our supply line in the Southwest Pacific ended when American marines landed (7 August) in the Solomons on Tulagi, Gavutu, Florida, and Guadalcanal.

Failure in their attempt by sea did not end the Japanese effort to capture Port Moresby, which would afford them an invasion base only 340 miles from the Cape York Peninsula in Australia. In July they landed at Buna, Gona, and Sanananda on the northeast coast of Papua and pushed southward across the Papuan Peninsula. The Australians first stopped the enemy and then, joined by American forces, drove him back to his landing bases. The Allied campaign culminated in the capture of those bases. This long and hard counteroffensive not only freed Australia from the imminent threat of invasion, but 1

 gave the United Nations their first toehold in the area of enemy defenses protecting Rabaul, center of Japanese power in the Southwest Pacific.

The American part in the Buna-Sanananda campaign, in which Australian and American troops defeated "the invincible Imperial Army" of Japan, is the subject of this pamphlet. The proportion of American troops in the Allied forces at Buna was much greater than at Sanananda, and for this reason the Buna operation receives the more detailed treatment. The story is set in a background of fever-ridden swamp and jungle, where American soldiers lay day after day in waterlogged fox holes or crawled through murderous fire toward enemy positions they could not see. Despite all the difficulties imposed by terrain, climate, and the formidable strength of Japanese fortifications, despite failure in many heroic attacks, the effort was carried through to a final and smashing success. This campaign and the almost simultaneous action on Guadalcanal were the first victorious operations of U. S. ground forces against the Japanese.

On 21 and 22 July a Japanese convoy of 3 transports, 2 light cruisers, and 3 destroyers reached Gona and disembarked Maj. Gen. Tomitaro Horii with about 4,400 troops. Allied Air Force attacks succeeded in setting fire to 1 transport. Additional troops and supplies poured in during the next few days. By 13 August 11,100 men had landed and the drive on Port Moresby began. The Japanese fought their way across the deep gorges and razor-backed ridges of the Owen Stanley Mountains and descended the southern slopes to within 32 miles of the port. Here Australian resistance stiffened and on 14 September the advance was held at Imita Range, south of Ioribaiwa.

During the next 2 weeks the Allied Air Force continued relentless strafing and bombing of the Japanese supply lines running over the mountains to Buna, Sanananda, and Gona. The enemy, half-starved, attacked on front and flank by the Australians, yielded Ioribaiwa on 28 September and began to withdraw hastily up the trail. During the critical last days of August, Japanese units had landed at Milne Bay 2

You’ve seen for yourself. As I was saying, it’s an obvious case of amnesia. His unconscious self is refusing to let him resume his relations with his normal life, and so we get this loss of memory.

The mental life that can be controlled by effort isn’t the mental life that matters. You’ve been stuffed up when you were were young with talk about a thing called self-control. A sort of barmaid of the soul that says, “Time’s up, gentlemen!” and, “Here, you’ve had enough.” There’s no such thing. But there is a deep self in a man, an essential self, and that has it’s wishes. And if those wishes are thwarted or suppressed by the superficial self—the self

 to threaten Port Moresby from the east, but this attack had been quickly stopped. After 3 days of heavy fighting, the enemy troops were forced back to the beach and taken off by naval vessels. For the first time, a Japanese force had been evacuated after failing in its mission.

Just as the tide of invasion began to ebb, American troops entered the New Guinea theater of operations. Early in September, when the Japanese threat appeared most grave, the 126th Infantry Combat Team and the 128th Infantry Combat Team, both of the 32d Division, were ordered to Port Moresby from Australia. Each combat team was composed of a regiment of infantry, a platoon of the 114th Engineers, a Collecting Company and a platoon of the Clearing Company of the 107th Medical Battalion with three 25-bed portable hospitals, and a detachment of the 32d Signal Company. The infantry howitzers, divisional artillery, and about two-thirds of the 81-mm mortars were left behind because of the difficulties of transportation to the Buna area.

The 32d Division was a National Guard unit from Michigan and Wisconsin, commanded at this time by Maj. Gen. Edwin F. Harding. It had been sent to Australia in April 1942 and had there received a very brief and sketchy training in jungle warfare. Though the Buna-Sanananda campaign was its first combat experience in World War II, the division could look back on an excellent record in World War I, when it had been one of the first units to reach France.

The transfer of the two combat teams to Port Moresby, partly by plane and partly by boat, was completed on 28 September. The 128th Infantry occupied positions on the Allied left flank to operate up the Goldie River. The 126th Infantry went into bivouac near Port Moresby, while a patrol, under the command of Capt. William F. Boice, proceeded east along the coast to look for a route over the mountains on the Allied right flank.

Allied strategy in New Guinea now began to shift from defense to counterattack. The Japanese, closely pursued by the Australians, continued their rapid retreat toward Kokoda. Intelligence reports indi-

 that makes, as you say, efforts, and usually makes them, by the way, with the sole idea of putting up a good show before the neighbours, then the real self takes its revenge.

Into the model villa of behaviour that the superficial self has erected it sends an obsession. Often enough you’ll find that obsession doesn’t seem to bear any relation to the suppressed wish at all. That’s because the superficial self’s not candid gives it a twist. You know a man who really wants to leave his wife develops a hatred for pickled cabbage which may find vent in performances that lead straight to the asylum. But that’s all technical—my business to understand it, not yours.

The point is, Captain Baldry’s obsession—that he can’t remember the latter years of his life. Well—what’s the suppressed wish of which it’s the manifestation?

(impatiently): I said “may seem to

 cated that no enemy reinforcements were reaching the Buna-Sanananda area. The enemy was apparently concentrating all his available naval, air, and land strength on the battle then raging in the Solomons. If he could drive us from Guadalcanal and advance southward to cut our supply line to Australia, his relative neglect of New Guinea would be justified. On the other hand, determined action on our part might crush the enemy in the Papuan Peninsula and so remove permanently the Japanese threat to Port Moresby.

General Douglas MacArthur, Commander-in-Chief, Southwest Pacific Area; General Sir Thomas Blamey, Commander of Allied Land Forces, Southwest Pacific Area and General Officer Commanding New Guinea Force; and Lt. Gen. E. F. Herring, General Officer Commanding Advanced New Guinea Force, all of whom were at Port Moresby, laid their plans accordingly. While the Australians continued to drive the enemy back along the Kokoda trail, the 32d Division under General Harding would make a secret, wide envelopment to the east and attack in force on the enemy left flank in the vicinity of Buna. This move might cut off the retreat of the main Japanese force facing the Australians. To insure speed and to avoid dissipating the strength of the division by marching it across the exhausting mountain trails, most of the enveloping force was to go by air to the seacoast southeast of Buna.

During the remainder of October and the early part of November, the 126th Infantry and the 128th Infantry were moving into position. Acting as left-flank guard, the 2d Battalion of the 126th Infantry crossed the lofty Owen Stanley Mountains on foot by a rugged trail rising over 8,000 feet. On 20 November, after an exceedingly difficult march of 5 weeks, they reached Soputa. The 128th Infantry on 14–18 October was flown to the hastily improved air strip at Wanigela Mission on Collinwood Bay, 65 air miles from Buna. From Wanigela small 20-ton motor launches carried the regiment up the coast to Pongani, 23 miles from Buna, where it halted to construct a landing strip. The 126th Infantry, less the 2d Battalion and part of the 1st Battalion, went directly by air to this new strip on 9–11 November.

While our troops were concentrating toward Buna, reconnaissance was limited in order to secure the maximum of surprise when the force attacked. However, Australian patrols operating to our front learned early in November that "bush wireless" had carried the news of our 5

 have”; of course it has a relation. But it really doesn’t matter what I said. What we’ve got to get at is what’s the suppressed wish in this case.

He was fond of us; he had plenty of money. He wished for nothing.

Quite obviously he has forgotten his life here because he was discontented with it. What clearer proof can you need than what you were telling me before I saw him—that the reason the War Office didn’t wire to you when he was wounded was that he had forgotten to register his address? Don’t you see what that means?

He isn’t business-like.

It’s our business to find out why he wanted to forget this life.

 * Are you suggesting that all this is deliberate?

(attempting patience) : Please, do you mind not interrupting. It doesn’t help, you know.

(hurt) : I only wanted to understand.

That’s a silly trick. All it does is to release the memory of a dissociated personality which you can’t relate—not possibly in an obstinate case as this—to the waking personality. Oh, I can do it talking to

 him, getting him to tell me his dreams. But you it would be such a help if you could give me any clue to this discontent.

(angrily) : I tell you he was not discontented till he went mad.

(With gentle flattery) If there was anything, it’s evident that it was not your fault. You, Mr. Baldry, you’ve known him longest. I take it you were boys together. Can you suggest anything?

We haven’t a great deal in common. We played together as boys I was a little older than he  but when I was ordained  I’m afraid he had very little sympathy No  no I—I can suggest nothing. He has never confided in me to any great extent. When he did so occasionally as a boy, he used to accuse me of preaching at him. Nothing was further from my intention, but that was his attitude always and

 approach to the enemy, and therefore from 10 November the troops advanced as rapidly as possible.

By the evening of 18 November the forward movement had brought our forces close to Buna (Map No. 3, facing page g). The 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry, was on the coastal track between Hariko and the Duropa Plantation; the 1st Battalion, 126 Infantry, was coming up from Oro Bay along the same trail. The bulk of the 126th Infantry was in position on the left in the vicinity of Inonda. Beyond was the Australian 7th Division pushing forward on the trails to Gona and Sanananda. The 3d Battalion of the 128th was near Simemi; the 2d Battalion, in division reserve, was split between Ango and the grassy plain at Dobodura. Here E Company and the Cannon Company were working at top speed with a detachment of the 114th Engineers to construct a landing strip needed for transport planes and fighters. Speed was vital if the division was to eat, for on 16–17 November two enemy air attacks on our small boats had crippled the coastal line of supply.

Enemy patrolling to our front had increased during the past few days, but despite this activity, the garrison in Buna appeared to be very weak. Native reports indicated that the Japanese had retreated to the landing strips at Buna. The men of the 32d Division expected to end the campaign with one quick attack and advanced full of enthusiasm. A month later, still facing Buna, our troops would look back with envy on the relatively easy days of the approach march, when they had slogged along muddy trails and waded breast-high streams. 7

 cate of self, but that of self-consciousness. Only in the self-consciousness of a spirit is there the required identity of object and of representation; for herein consists the essence of a spirit, that it is self-representative. If therefore this be the one only immediate truth, in the certainty of which the reality of our collective knowledge is grounded, it must follow that the spirit in all the objects which it views, views only itself. If this could be proved, the immediate reality of all intuitive knowledge would be assured. It has been shown, that a spirit is that, which is its own object, yet not originally an object, but an absolute subject for which all, itself included, may become an object. It must therefore be an ; for every object is, as an object, dead, fixed, incapable in itself of any action, and necessarily finite. Again, the spirit (originally the identity of object and subject) must in some sense dissolve this identity, in order to be conscious of it: fit alter et idem. But this implies an act, and it follows therefore that intelligence or self-consciousness is impossible, except by and in a will. The self-conscious spirit therefore is a will; and freedom must be assumed as a ground of philosophy, and can never be deduced from it.
