colors. The San Diego exposition,
not content with offering the world

upon a second year. Participation of
twenty nations and scores of new

Is England Doing Her Part?

II you want to read an intensely in
teresting, very enlightening, and
most convincing and effective article
on the part England is playing in the
great war and in answer to the ques-
ton as to whether England is doing
her part. then do not overlook Fred
erick Palmer's remarkable article
which appears as the feature in this
weeks issue of Golfers.
No fair minded man or woman can
read Mr.. Palmer's article and any
longer retain doubt rs to whether
Great Britain is holding up her end
OF the mighty conflict and as to
whether she is playing fair with her
allies.
Mr.. Palmer is an American writer
OF great note and the fairness. of his
articles on any theme and the thor
oughncss of his Investigations have
always been conceded.
Mr.. Palmer shows that 1.-THE terms
of the partnership" between the allies
provided that England was to keep
the command and mastery Of the seas,
to hold the whip hand over Germany
on the waters while France and Rus
STA were to take care of the Germans
on land.
1t is shown clearly that England
not only has done her part, is in COM
plete control of the seas today, has
the great German fleet bottled up but
she, seeing that ''her partners" were
having trouble with their land en-
gageinents, has sent n million voiun-
teers to the front, and has two mil
lions more ready to go. She controls
the sea, she is giving soldiers by hun
dreds of thousands for fighting in
continental Europe and besides all
of her extensive, marvellous naval
and military work, campaigns, and
expenditures England has, to quote
Mr.. Palmer, given money with the
generosity of a drunken sailor. She
has given tn Russia, to Serbia. to 1ta-
~. Every week by voluntary sub
scription aside from the government
grant, she is giving $25O,OO0 to Bel
gium-without advertising the fact. "
Easily one of the greatest eXplana-
lions of England's part in the war we
have ever read is this article in Col
liers' this week. You will miss some
thing If you fail to read it--some-
thing that bristles with facts that
may startle you.-Grand Junction
