The Friends Of France,

Washington Star: 1t is explained
that when the American troops landed
in France they were greeted with
shouts of 'Vivent les amis."- The boys
in khaki, hearing this call. thought
that the French people were address
ing them as "Sammies," whereas, In
fact, they were only calling them
friends" But Sammies became the
name that they thus accepted and
Sammies they are today and will re-
main. and thus the new world nick
name was coined. And the circum
stances Of its coinage are especially
gratifying. for In truth the Sammiez
are the friends Of France.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
COURAGE.

COURAGE.
Courage isn't brilliant dash,
daring deed in moments flash;
1t isn't instantaneous thing
Born of despair with sudden spring.
1t isn't creature of fiickered hope
Or the final tug at slipping rope;
But it's something deep in the soul of
That is working always to serve plan.
Courage isn't the last resort
In the work of life or the game of sport;
1t isn't thing that call
Is At some future time when he's apt to fall
If he hasn't it now, he will have it not
When the strain is great and the pace is hot.
For who would strive for distant goal
Must always courage within his soul
Courage isn't dazzling light,
That flashes and passes away from sight;
It's slow, unwavering ingraned trait,
With the patience to work and the strength to wait
It's part of when his skies blue,
It's part of him when he has work to do.
The brave never is freed of IL
has it when there Is need of it.
Courage was never designed for show
1t isn't thing that and go;
It's written in victory and defeat
And every trial may meet;
It's part of his hours, his days and his years.
Back of his smiles and behind his tears.
Courage Is than daring deed:
It's the breath of life and a strong mans creed.
-Edgar Guest.

SAY. Ia Never Had a Pull.


II never leaned on anybody; never
had pull, and never had any in
fiuence to help me. All did was tc
just work and work. got my first
job all by myself, and the others al
came of the accord of somebody
above me, but without solicitation on
my part.
Here's a thought for the boys and
young men: Don't try to be genius
and don't depend upon it If you nap
pen to be called one of those things
There's nothing to this business OF
| being q genius. Genius may be all
right in poet, but it doesn't go very
far in business. Hard work will bea,
genius all to pieces. The bright
boys of school, the ones who knew
their lessons instinctively without
having to study them. and VINO
boasted that they didn't have to
study, never got anywhere after they
left school and entered business. But
the boy who had to study to know
his lessons-and who had the grit
and determination to know his les
sons just as we'll as the genius, is
the boy who made a success when
the time came for him to rub W
against the world.
"But above all, boys, stick to it
and be loyal Do this and the world
of business wants you, and will get
you"
LETTERS Only Forty-one.
Mr.. LETTERS is just Al years of age.
1t has been twenty-nine years since
the freckled face kid in the blue cot
ton trousers and calico shirt, both
home made, entered the railroad
Office and asked for Job as mes
senger. In those Twenty-Five years
he has never worked minute except
for the Union Pacific railroad. While
working as messenger at So per
week he studied biography. When
he worked as telegraph opeartor he
studied agency work When he be-
came station agent he studied train
despatching When he got to be
dispatcher he studied the work of
the superintendent From superinten-
dent he stepped upward to the gen.
eral SUPPLEMENTARY because he had
studied the position above him. This
position led to the general manager
ship Of the road. Today, at the age
of Al, he is vice president and gen.
eral manager in charge of operations
Of the Union Pacific railroad.
Hard work and loyalty did it," he
would impress upon the boys. ANY
boy can do what l have done. There
are more big positions today than
ever in the history of the world.
twenty-five years from now every
one of those positions must be filed
by man who is boy today. To
the boys L would say Fit yourself for
the position and the position will
seek you out Hard work and 10y
atty will do the business"

Knoxville Express: 1t is said that
Abba business men are asking the e..

THE BRIGHTER SIDE.

From David Lawrence, of the New York
Evening Post, who is Washington CORES
pondent friendly to the administration, comes
figures showing what the quarrel between Gen
eral Goethals and Mr.. Denman cost the country
in ships before President Wilson ended the row
by putting new men in the places of those who
could not work together. It appears from a
study of statistics that about two hundred and
fifty thousand tons of shipping could have been
built while the row was on. Thirty working
days we're lost at time when there was urg-
ent need for all the ships that could be built
and when every delay increased the submarine
peril, now the occasion Of grave anxiety here,
in England, and in France.
Fortunately the situation has a brighter side.
It is seen in settlement of the controversy
that promises to bring order out Of confusion,
and in the development of American shipping
facilities to point where it is possible to con-
struct a great fleet Of commerce carriers within
a reasonable time There is evidence that the
president has found happy solution of the
building problem. Bernard N Baker, shipping,
expert and author of the bill creating the
United States shipping board, is highly
pleased with what has been done. II am de-
lighted" he says. ''Now the shipping board
and the Emergency Shipping corporation will
begin to accomplish things'' He emphatically
approves the Hurley and Colby appointments
and he says that no one in the country knows
more about the construction of ships than does
Admiral Capps.
Mr.. Bakers hearty commentator Of steps
taken to hasten ship construction will be as
welcome in England as it is in this co;:r:cy.
The Cocktails Denman quarrel will be forgot
ten as soon as Hurley and Capps bring on the
new merchantmen.
