was transported was that between

The advent of the air post" as the
new style of mail carrying is called
in France, was the occasion of great
interest by the various French postal
authorities, army and police officials,
and the first sack of mail was per-

Masse, the minister of postal and tel
egraph lines in France. while Mon

Roosevelt, speaking of the interna-

Western Hemisphere, ION which we
all agree, is that America shall not
be treated as offering ground for
fresh colonization or territorial az

This Is the old-fashioned Monroe
Doctrine just as it was laid down by
James Monroe.
But Roosevelt said something more.
"All of the American nations" said
he, which are sufficiently advanced,
such as Brazil and the United states,

equality in the responsibilities and
development of this doctrine, as far

The "Amerlcnn Race

Rupert Brooke. Westminster Gazette.
| The American by race walks better
than we; more freely, with taking
swing, and almost with grace. How
much of this is due to living in a
democracy. and how much to wear
ing no braces, 1t is very difficult to
determine. But certainly II is the
land of belts, and therefore of more
loosely moving bodies. This, and the
padded shoulders of the coats and the
loosely-cut trousers, make a figure
more presentable at distance than
most urban civilizations turn out.
Also, Americans take their coats off,
which is sensible and they can do
1t the more beautifully because they
are belted and not braced. They take
their coats off anywhere and any
when, and somehow il strikes the
visitor as the most symbolic thing
about them. They have not yet
thought of discarding collars; but
they are unashamedly shirt-sleeved.
Any sculptor seeking to figure this
republic in stone must carve in flu
ture a young man in shirtsleeVes,
open-faced, pleasant and rather vul-
gar, straw hat ON the back of his
head, his trousers full and sloppy,
his coat over his arm. The motto
written beneath will be, of course.
This is some country" The philo-
sophie gazer on such monument
might get some way toward under
standing the making of the Panama
Canal, that exploit that no European
nation could have carried out.
The American race seems to have
developed two classes, and only two,
the upper-middle and the lower
middle. Their faces are very distinct.
The upper-class head is long, often
fine about the forehead and eyes, and
very clearly outlined. The eyes have
an odd tired pathos in them-mixed
with the friendliness that is SO adj
mirable--as If of q perpetual never
quite successful effort to understand
something. II is like the face of an
only child who has been brought up
in the company of adults. But the
mouth of such men is the most typical
feature. 1t is small, tight and closed
downward at the corners, the lower
lip very slightly protruding. 1t has
very little expression in 1t, and no
curves. There the Puritan comes out.
But no other nation has a mouth like
this. It is shared to some extent by
the lower classes; but their mouths
tend to be wider and more express
sive.
