Then Belsize probably owes its name, be declares, to a bell foundry on the lower part of Hainp stead hill.

Something of this sort Is all that remains of many of them, tiut others, like the Whitechapel Bel! foundry, which has lteen charged with retiming and rehanging the bells of Westminster abbey for the peace rejoicings, have continued to do business through the centuries.

WTRE CHRISTIANS AT NIGHT Tribe of Stavrill in Trebizond Long Practiced Deception on Their Turk Overlords. Not far from Trebizond (on the B'ack Sea In Asia Minor) live the clan nt Stavrili, descendants of the Greeks who kept a Greek kingdom in being until after Constantinople had fallen, writes George E. White in the American Review of Reviews. The tstavrili knew that they were of Christian ancestry, but in some hour of persecution their fathers had yielded assent to Islam.

The same buildings wore said to serve as mosques above ground and churches below; the same men as imams by days and priests by night; the same boys were said to be circutneized and baptized; ami named both Osman and Constan-tizie. A few years ago these Stavrili determined to throw off the mask and return to their Christian allegiance, and they did so, though at the cost rf much government pressure lasting for years. With some of them I be-Ciime personally acquainted when they were exiled from home. One day a Stavrili met a Turkish friend, and the latter remarked, "I hear you've turned Christian." The Greek answered that they had always known that their ancestors were Christian Orthodox and they had decided to avow their original heritage. "Hut." said the Moslem, "you've been to niosijvie all llii-si' years, and we've said ur prayers side by side; how did y.

Y. The story of the St. Mihiel Drive and the part played In It by the small group of telephone operators that was attached to the First Army Is one familiar to all, but little has been said so far of their activities in the battle of the Argonne. After carrying through the St. Mihiel operations so brilliantly with hut a few weeks' preparation, the First Army moved its headquarters up to the Argonne Forest and established it nesr Verdun, in the town of Souilly.

The sis girls who had handled the lines of eomunication during the stress ami strain of those three weeks in America's initial drive against the Hun, were told to pack their suitcases and were rushed to the new quarters. In short order they, and Miss Adele IToppook. who had joined them, were heart and soul in the new struggle. There were three girls from New York City, Miss Grace Banker, chief operator. Miss Kster Fresnel, and Miss Suzanne Prevot three from the l'a-cific Coast, namely.

Miss Marie Lange, of Col ma. California. Miss Adele I lop-pock, of Seattle. Washington, and Mrs. Ilertlie M.

Hunt, of Berkeley, California and Miss Helen Hill, of New Haven, Connecticut. "It was the experience of experiences." said Mrs. Hunt, who has re turned to this country. "We packed our suitcases hurriedly, drove to Souilly. ready to do our part in the great Argonne Drive, which was launched on ct.ber 20.

"The drive was a very Important one. the object of the Americans being to break through the forest and cut off the German supply line from Metz. But Germany realized the disaster that such a move, if successful, would mean to her and concentrated ail her effort to frustrate it. Her fortifications were strengthened and preparations were made for a stubborn resistance. "When we arrived on September 2'5 we found ourselves in a French camp that bad been used for over four years, including the period of the famous Verdun Drive." Occasionally a Roche airplane came skylarking over the line, dropping bombs ami shrapnel, and helmets were very much in evidence.

No one was hurt, however, although Miss Banker, chief operator, barely missed being struck by a piece of the shrapnel. "Abri" 30 Feet Below Ground A few days after they became established in their new quarters the great Argonne Drive commenced. For use in case of emergency an abri had been provided with a duplicate switchboard, hidden thirty feet below ground. If circumstances made it necessary, the operators would repair to it and continue their work there, secure temporarily, at least, from shelling. Although the operators had made no preparations for a long stay, having been ordered to take up their new position and to supply themselves with suitcases filled with necessaries only, they continued at their posts in the Argonne.

Evidently this drive would take longer than that of St. Mihiel! A week passed, and still the fight went on. with the Americans always gaining. Then came rumors of German weakening, the request for an armistice, the approaching visit of the envoys begging peace, all of which was preceded by the fall of the Austrians great news. Hut the work went on, and the Americans stopped for nothing.

The girls plugged away at lie switchboards, thought a great ileal, but said little. Then, finally, came the news that the armistice was signed and hostilities were to be suspended. That was a night of celebration. Every hand grenade in sight was set off, until it became almost as dangerous to be abroad as it was when the battle was raging. MORE THAN A MILLION Over fifteen thousand employees of the New York Telephone Company subscribed more than a million dollars on the monthly payment plan offered by the Company to the Fifth or Victory Liberty Loan, says The Telephone lie-view, N.

Y. Tlie total subscriptions made to the five loans, counting only such subscriptions, amounts to over i.i i. No effort lias been made to ascertain the amounts subscribed in their home towns or through banks, churches, at theatres, and uilnTwic, Many employees are averse to the monthly payment preferring the full payment or th.

General Saltzman spoke as follows: Address by Brigadier-General C. McK. Saltzman It is my good fortune to be here fo-' day iis the personal representative of the Chief Signal officer of the Army -and to welcome back these splendid men of the 407th Telegraph liattalion to proem to you General Squire's congratulations on the perfectly splendid work you did in France and to thank Mr. r.ethell and the New York Telephone Company for all they have done to make all of this possible. 1 The wonderful work this has done has now become a part of history and it is recorded in the official records of the War Department.

As a result of the work of Signal troops there has bt-n built up a system of military communications of a magnitude and efficiency never before dreamed of in the history of warfare. The ial records tell of de-ds performed at Dijon. Chaumont. Imgres, Neufchateau. ami other places that I an spell but cannot pronounce.

These records lasting tribute to your et'iciency. It has been said, am rightfully so. that General I'mli wouh ride many a mile to get to an Ameri-: can telephone instead of using a European one. A great share of the work of erecting this perfectly wonderful system of communication in France fell on the shoulders of the 4)7lh Telegraph That system of communication helped to win the war. And the Signal Corps and the country are greatly indebted to this battfi'on.

In 1 11 4. an officer of the Signal Corps delivered an address in New York before of the employees of the New York Telephone Company in which he said that the United States ever got into war with a first-class power, a great responsibility would fail on the Hell Telephone Company and its subsidiaries: that they would have to come to the aid of our country in turnisiiing the imiuarv commuiiica- ions. Remember, that was in 1014, Ions before the T'nited States entered the war. I suppose that to some people who heard that address and the allusions to the organization of battalions and to the appointment of Cap tains and Sergeants imdCrporals from the Companies ranks, the state ments sounded odd and improbable. lint the history of the war today shows that these relictions were true.

The history shows that the I tell Telephone Companies accepted the responsibility. and that the Majors. Captains. Lieu tenants, and privates from the III tie Hell ranks came across with the coods. Now.

in closing, let me say that the Signal Corps of the Army is very sorry to sav 'Good-bye" to vou. We like ymi. We have learned a good many things from you. We do not want to forget you. It is my privilege as an officer of the Regular Signal Corps to say tn-ou.

The kingdom of Belgium dates from 1S30, when the seven Catholic provinces revolted from the distasteful union with the kingdom of The Netherlands. Dr. Edwin A. Grosvenor writes In a communication to the National Geographical society. A conference of the great powers In 1S31 determined the boundaries between the two countries.

Though ohltged by circumstances to recognize Belgian Independence, the conference did not sympathize with the authors of the revolution. In consequence the boundary line was traced to the disadvantage of the new nation, it Is alleged. The Dutch were assigned peoples east of the Meuse, who were strongly pro-Belgian, and were granted both sides of the Scheldt, thus cutting off approach to the sea by the great port of Antwerp. Belgium is made up of Flemings and Walloons, with the former In the majority. In 1910.
