Edinburgh.-The Scot In American
exile, who daily ponders over the d.
versihed war news and whose face
turns always to the homeland and
particularly the northern part there.
Of, where the mountains rise till they
are lost in the gossamer shreds Of
mist and the sea rolls In amid the
thousand inlets OF the western Hebri-
des, may well wonder how the up
heaval OF the eastern hemisphere is
affecting the lives of the folks he has
left behind.
Let me say at once that over the
length and breadth OF Scotland the
war spirit reverberated in wave OF
patriotism unparalleled in all the i'm
perishable fighting history of Old
Gaul. Figures available on the eve
of the last voluntary call to arms by
King George show that Scotsmen have
made an unequaled rally to the rum
Bile OF the empires drum.
To give a concrete illustration
from the island Of Lewis 80 per cent
of the male population today wear
the kings uniform, mostly in the navy;
the cities of Edinburgh, Dundee, Perth,
Inverness and Aberdeen responded,
till now II is believed not a conscript.
If conscription comes. could be Sc
cured.
Scotland for months has been vast
armed camp. On the border there is a
great camp occupied by the men from
the Lowlands. When | saw them they
had been in camp for nine months,
sturdy, well knit fellows, with the
keen, small eyes peculiar TO the ma
tives OF the southern part Of Scot
land. Away in the west in the farm
ing country Of Ayr there are camps
where you meet the longlimbed, lean.
deepchested men with the quick
gray eyes typical Of the people Of
the western seaboard.

On the Scottish regiments fell the

nelles. II was on the regiments who
went out from the capital OF the coun.
try that the losses were heaviest. and
today in the city Of Edinburgh there
is scarcely a family but mourns the
loss OF q relative or a friend. The
landing at the Dardanelles has been
written Of as one OF the wonder pages
in the military history Of the world.
Scotsmen are happy, CHASTITY though
the sacrifices were. that to their sons
was apportioned the first effort to get
a footing on the peninsula. From Flan-
ders again are endless stories OF
deeds which cover anew the names
OF Scottish regiments with luster. OF
the famous Black Watch II Is said they
carried their trenches at Loos half
an hour ahead OF any other part OF
the British army This may or may
not be true. but at all events in the
English papers long accounts have
appeared OF the thrilling onrush OF
the kiltles.

The Honored One
BY MARY AoUIN.


In the passing of Caroline Sydney
Crawford at the age of 90, whose fun
eral takes place tomorrow, the career
OF splendid woman has ended. Her
achievements have been a life time OF
womanly virtues. girlhood, wifehood.
motherhood. her capacity for friend
sale. all those periods had been lived
with sobriety of womanliness. In her
youth she belonged to that era of wo-
man which produced such lights as
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B.
Anthony and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
throughout her long life she retained
her sympathy for woman's endeavors
and up till last fall when her health
failed permanently. kept abreast of
the worlds progress through reading.
Besides the cares of wifehood and
Observation-Disclosures a family of six
she had been in professional work, an
Instructor in music for more than
twenty years in a notable southern
seminary. Endowed with a keen mind
and abundant health she used these as
do men of like quality to the amplifi-
cation of life. Because her last days
were sheltered by the loving care OF
devoted son and sympathetic
daughter-in-law, the conclusion should
not be arrived at that she had never
endured trials. Women of the south
in the days of the rebellion suffered
keenly in losses of every nature. The
unrest of the country produced hard
ships of the most trying kind that left
their imprint for many years. But
throughout the dark places, she pinned
her abiding faith in the goodness OF
God and bore her trials with sweet
ness and equanimity Under the bright
light OF modern science that informs
US that thoughts have much TO do with
ones well or Ill being, it IS not UNI
likely that this confidence in the even
tuality of good was the source OF her
perfection.
An educated woman. at a time when
education was not as readily obtain
able as nowadays. she never allowed
her erudition TO overreach the naive
that expresses Itself in love

care OF plants, enjoyment of friends. I
