TO HAVE LED AMERICANS GREAT HONOR, SAYS FOCH Praises American Army and the People Behind It in Days of 1917 and 1918 . Following is the text of Marshal Foch's address before the American Legion convention at Kansas City: "Officers, non-commissioner officers and soldiers of the great American army: My dear comrades of the Ameri can Legion: . "I cannot tell you how great is my satisfaction at finding myself amongst you, valiant soldiers of 1918, to live again our glorious memories. Three years ago, on the first of No vember, 1918, the entire American army in France took up vigorously the pursuit of the defeated enemy and did not halt until the German surrender. . v "Hour of glory for the American army, a proper culmination for a mil itary effort, prodigious alike in its intensity as in its rapidity. One and all, you have had your share in it. You may well be proud. "In responding in mass to the call to arms of your government, in equip ping, training and organizing your selves as rapidly as possible you had in view only the purpose to take your place as soon as possible in the line of battle. "In numbers: Eighteen months af ter the declaration of war by the Uni ted States on Germany, the Ameri can army had passed from effectives of 9,500 officers and 125,000 men to 180,000 officers and 3,500,000 men. "Efforts of organization: If, in the month of March, 1918, you had in France but six divisions, six months later you had 41, of which 31 engag ed in battle. "Effort in instruction: In order to have officers, non-commissioned offi cers and men rapidly trained you mul tiplied in America as in France, your schools and camps, which became cen ters of prodigious activity. "In order to arm you and camp you the American manufactories worked without respite and supplied all your needs. "Admirable effort also in 'transpor tation. You swept away every obsta cle which interferred with bringing your units from the centers of in struction to the ports of embarkation. "In France, you improved the ports of debarkation, created new installa tions, increased the traffic of the rail road system by work of all kinds and multiplied your storehouses and hos pitals. , "Your shipyards were organized for intensive production in such a jvay that when the war ended you utilized for your ocean transportation almost en to Dr. Long's hospital in States four millions of marine tonnage, in- ville in tne hPe that he might be stead of 94,000 available at the begin- benefited by treatment or an opera ning of the war. tin there.

FOR LIGHT Meteorological Bulletin Explains Brown Mountain Light As Similar to Andean Light. The mysterious light on Brown mountain in Burke county, which has puzzled scientists for several years, leading to many and varied theories as to its origin, is a mystery no longer, if the. explanation contained in the current publication of the American Meteorological Society bul- letin has the correct solution. "Andean lightning" is the. name of this phenomenon, according to Her bert Lyman, writing in the bulletin, ''Andean lightning," says the report, "is the name given to a very striking luminous discharge of electricity seen over the crest of the Andes in Chile, in a region where ordinarily, thunder storms are almost unknown. The mountains appear to act as gigantic lightning rods, between which and the clouds silent discharges take place on a vast scale. Because more frequent ly seen in the Andes than elsewhere fVio T-m 4Anrlp.in lichtnine'" has loiuv vv.x a.a y o TV J i J Deen aaopieu. However the same phenomenon has been observed in the Swiss Alps and the mountains of North Carolina. Detailed accounts of its appearance in the region of Brown mountain (17 miles from Blowing Rock) in the sum mers of 1917 and 1918 were given. According to Dr. Walter Knoche, for a number of years director of the wealther service of Chile, these great silent brush discharges of electricity extend from the crest of the Cordil leras far out to sea. They almost al ways appear in a clear sway upon the approach of nightfall. As re gards seasons, the phenomenon be gins in the late spring and " is last een in the fall. The frequency of discharge, says Dr. Knoche, seems in general to decrease with increase in distance from the equator. . "In( the discussion the occurrence of such mountain brush discharges in the White Mountains was men tioned."
