WITH TIE BRITISH ARMIES
N THE FIELD. Jan. - tBy MailJ
The world knows the English as a
race OF enormously reserved people
Just how reserved they really are

The most thrilling engagement OF
the war does not loosen the English
mans tongue any more than his aft
crnoon tea, II as much.
have been trying 10 get the
story OF some British heroes II can't
be done. They say what they do
belongs TO the unit they happen
10 be in. The uni, gays the glory
belongs TO the whcle British army.
The theory Is that il is very unfair
for an individual u be signaled as
hero. They say IL is not treating
the other fellow right for one to be
pressagented and heralded all over
the world as the doer OF a great
deed because every day there are
hundreds upon hundreds OF men
who are risking their lives in the
deadliest of dangerous undertakings
and are never even heard Of Luck.
che is told, makes more heroes than
anything else-luck which prtgides
the opportunity and luck which let's
enc be seen while grasping It,
The French look at II in much the
same way but il anything the Brit
ish carry the idea further A French
aviator is called an ACE" wheE he
brings DOWN hi5 hfth enemy aero
plane and gets his name in the pa
pers. There are many English air
Iuen who are aces, yet whose names
have never appeared outside the
official secret communiques circulat-
eG among the higher staff officers
only.
Here Is concrete example,: \
certain lieutenant OF the Royal Fly
ing Corps was mentioned in one OF
these communiques II seems he

clouds. and downed it fairly and
squarely Hoping 10 make an eY-
ception OF this case permission was
sought to use the ayiator's name. Il
was courteously. but firmly. refused
What he had done was not to his
cvn personal glory but TO the glory
of the r. F. c.
And when the Royal FLYING Corps
is asked about it, it insists the honor
is the Army's
So IL goes. The Canadians pool
their glory with the South Africans

Scotch and MI the rest. and alto

Britannia II is ;rite 20 say It, is 4
war Of anonymous heroes but that is
just what il is and the British are

world say they can't be doing very
much Nor do they care. apparently
Their idea is thai hero who il q

OFFICER OF JAPANESE
NAVY DOES NOT LOOK
FOR PEACE JUST NOW

Americas entry into the war is
more important than some people ap-
preciate," said Lieut. Com. H. Mizuno
OF the Japanese navy Saturday. He
is on his way ID Japan after having
spent one year in Italy. France, Great
Britain and the Unite States.
The American soldiers will give
the allies on the western front the
needed strength, and this is where
the United States will play the
strongest part. l do not look for
America to participate in the battles
at sea, as the German fleet is not
ready to make an attack.
The reason why Germany's navy
has not given a decisive battle is be-
cause the Englith fleet outnumbers
the Germans two to one. The Ugh
sea fleet Of Germany is evading the
enemy in the Kiel canal. All Of the
activity Of the Ger---n navy has been
conferred on a submarine warfare.
Il do not look for peace before two
years, as Germany has enough re-
sources to last that long. Americas
participation in the war will shorten
the length of the great conflict now
on in Europe"

Back in the United States after
nearly two years Of work among the
war prisoners in Europe, Rev. Amos
A. Ebersole, former associate minis
ter Of Central Union church. has writ
ten to F. c. Anterior an unusually in
teresing letter in which he wildly out
lined the widespread activities OF the
International Y. NJ. C. A. in the prison
camps.
In full, the letter is as follows:
First, let me say that l never ex-
perienced quite 80 deep a Joy as
did two weeks ago Friday evening,
when our good ship Chicago nosed
its way in through the Narrows and
anchored in New York harbor just as
the sun was setting in the West. Moth
ing that l had ever seen looked so
good to me as the Statue OF Liberty
extending her arm of welcome and the
tall buildings on Manhattan towering
toward the sky. One really does not
know how much he loves his coun'
try and his country's flag. until he has
lived for a year under the depressing
influence of the autocracies Of Cen
trail Europe. One felt like screaming
for JOY at the relief at being out from
under it and breathing the free air
of this grand country of ours, where a
man does not need to be afraid to
speak above a whisper for fear some
one is overhearing something that he
should not overhear.
The news no doubt has reached
you that with the breaking off Of dip
lomatic relations between Austria and
the United States, the American
Young Mems Christian Association
secretaries at work in the various
prison camps of Austria were request
ed to leave. We were given just three
days in which to close up all our
work and leave with the embassy.
Those were three Of the most trying
days that I have ever put through. Not
only did we have to work day and
night to get matters properly closed
up and turned over to the general sec
rotary who still remains in Vienna,
but most trying of all was the parting
with the men in the camps to whom
we had become very much attached
It am enclosing to you photo
graph Of one of the committees in one
Of my camps. This was my cabinet
as l called it, in my camp at Brau
nau on the Inn. This gives you very
