In the diary OF his trip Washington

troop of light horse belonging to the
latter, who escorted me to Marlbor

1t is very interesting to note how ma
tional qualities and characteristics express
and reveal themselves through the pocket,
how much of a nations spirit may give
itself body and substance, may become OBJ
jective, through the manner in which it
uses its purse. A great while ago an old
writer and keen observer of life said "The
love of money is the root of all evil" And
by this sentiment this very notable man
simply meant that money was large me-
dunn through which life revealed and ex-
pressed itself, that the uses of it told much

called "slashing journalism" But both these things
are equally remote from the fighting spirit, which in

The object of fighting is to hit, not merely to

press at present are of one type or the other.

dignity and decency of patriotism have

Living Driving

BY GUGLIELMO FERRERO.
Noted Italian Historian Now In America.

The epidemic of suicides which seems to be
sweeping America is caused mainly by the strenuous
life led here. 1t is very very difficult to get into the
soul of man who has taken his own life The in
tensity of life in this country is certain to be fol-
lowed by somewhat corresponding longing for
death. II is only psychological reaction. Amer-
cans however, sleep too little and this very likely has
something to do with it, The nerve centers are never
relaxed. In this country | understand there is
great increase of diseases and neurasthenia
