SECRET BASE IK WORLD WAR Harbor Sheltered Greater Part of Atlantic Fleet, the Anchorage Being Alluded to in Official Coiquwnl* eationa as "Base 2.* Washington.--The historic battlefield of Yorktown, Va., where the British general, Cornwallis, surrendered, and where for all practical purposes the American Revolution was brought to a victorious conclusion, may soon be made into a shrine to share popularity with Bunker Hill, Valley Forge and Mt. Vernon. The little village and Its surroundings form the subject of the following bulletin Issued from the.Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society: "Though Yorktown Was not a thriving community nor a place noted for its accessibility during Revolutionary days, it was relatively much more important and much less remote from the dally life of the country than It has been at any time since. Most other American towns were small in those days, ports were few, and railroads were unthought. of. As cities have sprung up where there were only hamlets or patches of wilderness before, and as railroads have brought even the two oceans relatively closer together, Yorktown, at a point where little commerce has been developed, and without rail connections, has become in effect more and more remote, nnd its character as a sleepy village has become mere and more emphasized. Site of Surrender, a Tiny Village. "The Yorktown of today Is a com- 'i-unity of less than 250 inhabitants with' a few fine old colonial homes it a number of less pretentious dwellings. The nearest railroad lies eight miles to the south. In the town is a monument erected In 1881 on the om* hundredth anniversary of the surrender of the British. As a reminder f the early Importance of Yorktown ii t t-e still exists the first customs house In the United States. Near the ige ere remains of the forts and >ubts whose capture by the Revoi nonary soldiers and their French allies marked the real birth of the United States. The scene of Cornwallis' surrender--which was by proxy through his General O'Hara--la believed to be In the open country just south of the village. "Yorktown is on a narrow peninsula lying between the wide estuaries of the James and York rivers, and Is where the latter meets Chesapeake bay. Cornwallis, after scourging Virginia, burning homes, killing and driving off stock, and capturing large numbers of slaves, retired down the peninsula to Yorktown. Lafayette, with a handful of American soldiers, followed at a distance. It was when this situation was pointed out to Washington that he was persuaded to abandon his plan to attack New York and instead to take hli own forces from West Point and Rochambeau's division from Providence, R. I., to stake all on a battle in the south. The arrival of De Grasse with a French fleet In the Chesapeake, blocking the entrance to that bay and preventing re-enforcements reaching Cornwallis, made the defeat of the latter Inevitable. Harbor Used in World War. "It Is not strange that Cornwallis considered Yorktown a good location for military headquarters In spite of the ease with which the peninsula might be blocked. It possesses a truly remarkable water harbor, nnd Cornwallis counted on the maintenance of communication by water with the heavy British forces In New York. "Yorktown's harbor was put to good use during the World war and so for the second time played an Important part in the country's martial history. In the mouth of the York river opposite the famous village the greater part of the Atlantic fleet at times rode at anchor. There, behind the defenses at the entrance to the Chesapeake and further protected by nets and patrols across the mouth of the York, nreadnaughts and lesser vessels were safe from molestation by enemy submarines. Thousands of men were intensively trained for naval duty at this anchorage while the whereabouts of the fleet was kept a profound secret. The Yorktown anchorage was alluded to in official communications throughout the war only as 'Base 2.'" DrawS by Telepathy Transmigration of the Soul, or Theory of Reincarnation, is Rejetced by Miss Sydney Dyke. NeW York.--If suddenly out of .nowhere came a picture to your mind which you proceeded to paint or draw, that would be no very extraordinary affair, would it? But, if weeks later, In a new land perhaps or in a book of photographs, you saw the Identical thing you bad painted--what would you say? Especially If your sketch showed an ancient temple or far-off villa whose like you have never seen before? Transmigration of the. soul or the theory of reincarnation might, by some, explain such an occurrence. But Miss Sydney Dyke rejects these theories, or, rather, says she simply doesn't try to account for her "memory" pictures. On the walls of "The Oasis," at No. 10 East Forty-seventh street, Miss Dyke's paintings hang at present. To the uninitiated they look like very interesting water-colors of landscape and design. But they are of two particular kinds, those called "symbolic portraits" and others, "memory pictures." "Sometimes I have thought," says Miss Dyke, "that I have looked upon certatn scenes in another age, another placet. But, 1 do not like to talk of transmigration. "Yet I do believe in something like a continuity of life. For instance, there is the 'Villa d'Este,' the painting over there with the cypress trees, a little pond and a villa In the distance. When I made that I had a strong feeling that I must put pinnacles on the building, although I thought they would be hardly the thiug. Later 1 met some one who saw the picture and discussed It with me. "I wanted to call It the 'Villa d'Este.' We got a book of villas and found that one really called by that very name--a Fifteenth century buildinghad pinnacleB such as I had drawn. "Reincarnation, as an explanation, I don't like. The word Is used by so many fakers that I must reject It." Miss Dyke is a tall, striking-looking young woman of handsome and wholesome aspect. Her findings are not the result of mooning over weird psychic subjects but have come naturally and simply to her attention. She has made pictures, the ideas of which Interested her, and later found that they had an odd significance. From that beginning she perfected, by self-teaching, her technique in water-colors, so as better to present her subjects. Cult §Sla^S Enemies m** % : •• Revelations in Raid on Society Astound Tokyo. Temple of the Secret Organization Hid the Bodies of Foes of World Dominion Movement. Tokyo.--Revelations of the work carried on by the "Ometokyo" cult, which began when the police raided the headquarters of the organization at Ayabe, near here, continue to astound the people of the empire. Newspapers accuse leaders of the cult of aspiring to set up an "Omotokyo" dynasty, to which all Japanese would flock with the hope of attaining world dominion. In the secret passage leading from the temple of the organization at Ayabe to the residence of Wanlsaburo Deguchl. leader of the society, fhe police declare they discovered a portrait of Deguchl wearing a costume resembling that usually seen on the image of Ama-Terasu, the sun goddess, the traditional grand ancestreiu of the Japanese Imperial family. It is alleged that in the temple were found crypts In which were placed the bodies of those who were slain for betraying the secrets of the organisation. It Is declared that "unspeakable crimes" were committed against women by members of the cult, who are said to have bordered on fanaticism in their zeal. Cartloads of alleged seditious literature has been seized, including a famous volume bearing the title of "Fire." This volume Is Interpreted as embodying projects for a social upheaval of a "dreadful nature" and incompatible with the present government of Japan. It is said that the followers of "Qmotokyo" numbered 300,000. When the police seised the collection of pebbles representing tiye divinity of the organization, a band of the faithful clinched their fists in fury, declaring the act of the officers to be sacrilegious. Leaders made addresses, urging forbearance and •ong suffering in the presence of the desecration of their delt.v by the "heathen." An Osaka newspaper owned by Deguchl has Issued an extra edition denying reports that bombs were discovered in the temple and explaining that swords found there had been given to the temple. The newspaper declares that followers of "Omotokyo" have committed no crlma,^ Bride Faces 8tern Realtty. Charleston. W.

They were discussing very personal matters, but no one minded Uncle Jim. "The trouble with my Job," TOin Seymour was saying, "Is that there's not the slightest chance of getting ahead. Why, the fellows In the oflice. say that the older men Just stick there to keep the younger ones down. There hasn't been a promotion--I dont know when. And fussy! Whew I Why, a fellow couldn't get on in that office I It Isn't possible 1 And yet Mr. Bates tells dad that he'd be only toe glad to move them up; and dad believes him, of course, and puts it up to me." "Well, my trouble's exactly differ* ent," said Henry Norton. "There are promotions all the time over at my place. But if you notice. It's always somebody that has pull. I haven't any pull, so of course that settles my chances. I got the Job by answering an advertisement, yon know. Pretty nearly every other fellow there la somebody's nephew or grandson or something." "You fellows make me tired," said Bob. "You don't even know your luck. You may have some troubles, but look at me I You're In business, at least aren't you? Made a start, anyway. And look at me! Not even started yet! And going to college this fall for four years! Why, anybody could get to be a millionaire In four years! And most business men say that a college education is nothing but a drawback, too. Dad didn't go to college himself, but he thinks I ought to. Uncle Jim, of course, did go--but he's a lawyer. That's different. I want to go in tor business." As If in response to his name. Uncle Jim put down his paper and turned to face the little group. "Hello!" he called genlairy. "It's a pleasure to hear somebody talking real business these days. Oh, that reminds me. Did you get out to the golf tournament at the club?" The boys shook their heads. Their own Interests were In the direction of tennis rather than of golf. "Too bad you missed It. It was a •*ery good tournament," said Uncle Jim; "the most Interesting that the Country club's ever had, I think. Jack Partridge won the cup, as usual, and Thayer Stevens won the second prize. But I don't think either of them was half as pleased as old Mr. Painter; he was the most delighted person on those links." * "Why?" asked Bob. "Did he win anything?" "No, not a thing; except what you fellows would call a drawback, I suppose. For the first time in all the years he's played there they handicapped him. He went round telling everybody about it. 'That proves that I'm beginning to be a real player, doesn't it?" he'd say over and over again." An understanding look came slowly Into Bob's face. "Oh," he said, "so that's why you switched off on golf tournaments! But we weren't talking about games. We were talking about business--about real life--and real life Isn't a game. Uncle Jim." "No," admitted Uncle Jim, "It Isn't. But the laws that govern work and play are the same. Fair play Is what everybody asks for, Isn't It? And they don't mean Just in games, either. Think over some of the recognized principles of good sport: teamwork and hitting the line hard and keeping your eye on the ball and not knowing when you're beaten. Oh, a score of little catchwords. They work out pretty well in business and in other walks of life* too, don't they? Even the matter of handicaps applies. At first that seems different, maybe; bnt when a fellow has the right idea about It--when he sees, like old Mr. Painter, that a handicap is a compliment--why, there's nothing In the world that brings the right stuff out like a good, stiff handicap. You fellows Just try looking at It that way, and see bow it works out I'm sure that the best thing that ever happened to me was having to work my way through college. "You must permit me to add. Bob." he said, turning to his nephew with a smile, "that you have to know a handicap when you see one. I never heard old Mr. Painter speaking of the lessons that he took from Sandy McTaggart as a really serious handicap. So I have my doubts whether he'd regard four years at college in that light, either."--Youth's Companion.
