IN A NAME.

tFrench brtar now comes from Scot
land eXclusiVely.-Daily Paper)
Things are seldom what they SEEM"
Is a phrase you often hear.
French briar comes from Scotland
(ThTums),
Other things are quite as queer.
German pancakes hail from Spain.
Irish stews from Palestine;
Long the Nile, for mile on mile,
Grows the sacred Norway pine
All Turkish figs are really French,
And Swiss cheese isn't Swiss at all;
The French pea grows in Arctic SHOWS,
And Russian caviar in Bengal
The Wiener schnitzel comes from Greece
French-fried potatoes from Peru;
The Spanish Omelette first appeared
Upon the plains of Timbuctoo.
One might enlarge ad libitum
The list Of topsyturviness,
There's really nothing in a name,

The American Soldier.

Inc american soldier has the best
build and bearing in the world.
thought Tommy Atkins was the best In
line so, / am surprised at what / have
seen here. While the American soldier
Is not so beety as the Britisher, he is
smarter and better set up.
The American is the best looking sol
dier in the world, superior TO the fight
ing men or Germany. France, or Eng
land The only Improvement in the
uniforms Is 10 give him a better fiti
giving full effect 10 his fine qualities
Such is the testimony of Tailor
Winter, brought to America by the
War Department II smarter up the
uniforms of our army. It's direct
and reassuring-but it ought not to
be in the least surprising.
The United States has had un-
usual opportunities these past ten
years TO compare its fighting men
with those of the other powers. The
best was that offered by the asso-
citation of troops from all over the
world for the rescue OF the impris-
oned diplomatists in Pekin.
Side by side, the Yankee worked
with the armies of England, Italy,
Japan, Germany, France, and Russia.
In contrast 20 the chest-lifted Eng
lishmen, the dapper Japs, the nerv-
GUS Latins, ana the phiegmatic Ger
mans, all of them stepping pre-
cisely quickly, dynamicaly. save the
Russians, who plodded, the Amer
leans strode along easily, loosely.
effectively, wasting no breath, tax
ing no unnecessary steps, making
no avOidable fuss. Newspaper cor
respondents from other capitals
who saw the forces at Tientsin said
the lesson was plain that for sim
pie effectiveness no army could be
organized in the world today which
would promise so much as an army
of modern Americans.
We had our taste Of this same
comparison, or part Of #, when the
Roehambeau monument was dedi-
Gated. With all Difference to our
close friends. the French. we of
Washington turned from that pa
rade a proud people. The standard
of physical force, the sense of re-
serve strength, the capacity for
long, practical endurance manifested
by our troops that day in compari-
son with a command which marched
$50 steps to the minute and pat
tered up the Avenue rather than
walked. filed us with confidence.
This is the material with which
Brigadier General Bell and his as
sociates Of the general staff are now
at work. If they have their way,
they viii develop it into the best
trained as well as the best set-up
army in the world. The plan is that,
in time Of war, it may absorb and
train an equal force or. volunteers.
By such means we hope and conf
IDENTIFY expect TO hold our own
among nations which spend a hun
dred times more to maintain armies
of less potential strength.
Who can doubt that ours is the
better course? But while we con-
slider our advantage we must not
lose sight of the lesson Mr.. Winter
emphasizes: that the unit of our
strength is the enlisted man, and
that in physical prowess, endur-
ance, intelligence, and good looks
he is today without a peer in all
the world.

A MURDERER's RESPITE.
He Fled to California and Lived Forty
Years Under Assumed Name.

Walter Marvin Lancaster has carried
his secret with him To the grave. He
lived for nearly forty years in Bear Val
ley this county, under the name OF John
Lang, and nobody guessed that It was
assumed until the facts came to light
after his death. He blew his brains out.
The inquest developed that Lang was
not the correct name of the decedcnt. A
witness stated that short time ago
Lang told him that in case anything
happened he wanted it known that his
true name was Walter Marvin l-ancas-
ter, and that he was native OF Maine.
Lancaster further said that he had killed
Il man ia Maine many years ago, but
had been acquitted. Fearing that the
dead mans friends would take his life,
however, he said he had fed his home
and changed his name 10 John Lang.
II was under that. name he located
in Bear Valley, set out little orchard
and built him cosey home. He was
highly regarded BY all bis neighbors,
with whom he was on very friendly
terms, though OF his past life none OF
them had the slightest inkling. For
years he conducted the Cnlbertson toll
bridge al his home but after il went
out Of commission like many others he
still chung to the valley and seemed con-
tent to spend his days there. BE was
