HIGH SPOTS In AMERICAN HISTORY
YANKEE DOODLE AMERICAN TIPPERARY.
BY RALPH COUCH.

Yankee Doodle was the Tipperary
Of the American revolution, and first
marching song of the United States.
The farmers at Bunker Hill shout
ed the song as a chant of victory
when the grenadiers broke and fed
down the hill in confusion after their
second disastrous charge:
yankee Doodle came to town up
on a little pony; he stuck a feather in
his cap and called it M~acaroni."
The song was appropriate after
victories because the enemy made
much Of it in the early part Of the
revolution It was played at the SUR
render Of Gen. John Burgoyne, the
first big American victory. Doodle
meant a queer, clumsy, clownish sort
of fellow. Lord Percy had his bands
play it or the march to Lexington at
the beginning Of the war.
The origin of the song never has
been fixed. The air is believed to
have been brought. to America from
| England where it long had been a
nursery air! However, since revolu-
tionary days it has been claimed for
nearly every country on the globe. A
professor of Madrid, Spain, commended
it was an old sword dance air. Kos
suth, the Hungarian patriot claimed
1t for Hungary. Even Holland put in
a claim.
The air was well known in Amer
lea years before the revolution. One
story explains 1t was introduced in
1855 by an army surgeon. The SUR
geon made new words to satirize the
n~ondescript appearance of the Amer
lean farmers who helped British
troops fight the French and Indians. !
One writer has traced the song
back to. the time of Oliver Cromwell.
Cromwell once rode to Oxford on a

Their T three sources from which
we may getslightS upon this most i'm
portant subject; first from the
BIBLE; second, from the CHURCH,
and third. from OUR OWN REASON:
Naturally, the bible has a #great
deal to say about the lend o the
world" and fortunately, it is possible
for the average man to understand
what the bible means.
The secrets Of God are not always
revealed to the wise men and the
prudent"-God has sometimes ere
vealed them unto babes"
Upon occasion, Jesus publicly
thanked God for the fact.
It is probably true, as some noted
bible students have said, that con-
fusion has risen in the minds of
many because men have failed to
distinguish between 'the end Of the
world" and "the END OF THE
AGE"
The history of the world may be
divided into certain great periods, or
ages. Each of these ages has ended
in a great catastrophe-like 1.-The
flood, for example.
It Is we'll to remember that most of
the prophecies about "thes end of the
world" are based upon the second
coming Of Jesus, and the prophecies
concerning his second coming are Just
as literal as those that had to do
with his first Coming.
+ There are Something like three
hundred different references in the
new Testament, alone, to the second
coming of Christ.
All bible students agree that Jesus
is coming again but there is a great
difference Of opinion among them as
to when he is coming.

become responsible for, setting up the
millennium, and at the CLOSE of this
Ithousand-year period, Jesus will
come to call theeworId to Judgment.
Far the largest number of bible
students have the latter. opinion. al
though Imany evangelists and bible
students believe Jesus, may come
TODAY.
If the thousand-year period of the
millennium Is to be taken literally,
then the opinion Of the. "post-millen-
Jesus will come AFTER the 'millen-
ium-conapels US to say that Jesus
cannot come for at least one thou
sand years. For no one would agree.
in view Of the terrible war now pre-
vailing, that we have entered the
millenial period. Ifs
On the other hand. il the pre-
Observation-Disclosures who believe
Jesus will come BEFORE the millen-
nium-are to be believed, it looks very
much as If Jesus might come AT
ANY MOMENT to establish His
kingdom upon the earth. i.
For they believe that Just the kind
OF things nov happening will precede
his coming to earth.
But this would not be "the end of
1.-THE world"-it would be .sthe end
of the age" according to the pre-
millennialists."
IN ANY CASE, WHETHER THE
PRE- : MILLENNIALISTs'' ARE
RIGHT OR THE "POST-MILLEN-
NIALISTS," THE END OF THE
WORLD, WITH THE JUDGMENT
THAT ISA FINALLY TO COME,
MUST BE AT LEAST ONE THOU
SAND YEARS DISTANT.

Says U. 5. Enlists
Women; German Fable
Anent Female Army

Washington, July 25-An example
of the efforts made by German news
papers to deceive the people concern
ing Americas participation in the war
Is given in extracts from the Vossische
Ze!tung Of June 10, just received here.
After attempting to discredit the sue
cess Of the Liberty Loan the paper
says:
1T is significant of the American
conception Of war that several women
succeeded in being accepted for serv-
ice in the flying corps; in one case a
woman was even accepted by the
coast artillery to have charge Of
signaling. Department stores and
other large business houses, as a joke
of advertising, put their many thou
sands of female employees into uni
forms and train them in the use Of
firearms. For an explanation they
point to the possibility Of these female
armies having to maintain order all
over the country. All German
Americans are suspected, and the re-
mainder Of the population is system
atically incensed against them.
Meanwhile. Americans serving in
France are writing home letters in
which they express bitter disappoint-
ment and warn against further trans
port of American troops unless Amer
lea makes lasting and sure arrange
ments about the food preparation; for
France, they say, is facing starvation
because of her inability to pillow her
fields; it is much more important,
they continue, to send transports Of
agricultural laborers in order to take
care Of the soil Of France.
by the way, even now an import
ant part Of Pershing's divisions con-
sists of laborers only; ~so-called
pioneer regiments, belong to the divi-
sion. They are nothing else but rail-
road laborers only enlisted to rebuild
the destroyed railroads of France. An
interesting detail is the fact that the
American troops carry many well
trained dogs who are to attack stray

Recognizing this widespread feeling

'Is there biblical basis for the

GREAT CHANGE
in U. 5. ARMY
IS ARRANGED
Pershing Would Increase
Size Of Company and
Regiment. !

washington, July 81. Secretary
Baker confirmed today that IN pur-a
suance of suggestions growing ouLSoL
the conferences of American army Of
1cers, with Generals Joffre and Brtd7s
ges, tactical units. Of the national army
will be organized on q basis Of about
10000 men each in place Of $4,000.
Generals Joffre and Bridges ex-
planned that the smaller and more
mobile division used rim European
armies had proved MISUNDERSTANDING.
Incorporation OF the American army
with those now fighting in Europe
would be simpliaed, they declared, II
the divisions were reduceds
Only minor changes in the lesser
units would be made. their personnel
of rank remaining virtually the same.
Orders for the reorganization are
being prepared by the general. staff,
and they will be Photographed to the
various departmental commanders
|about the date of the field mobiliza-
ton of the militia.
AS a result Of the experience OF the
civil war, coupled with lessons taken
from European wars of the lasts fifty
years, the American army was reor-
ganized on the basis of from 100 to
450 men to a company, 1920 to- 1900
men. to a regiment and approximately.

In place of the units, Gen. Pershing

French army is now organized on this
basis and Gen. Pershing informed the

The principal reason ascribed for
the change is the fact that American
troops are expected to occupy trenches
alternately with French troops. I'M
fusion would result from the inter-
change. In other words If q French
division of 1900 men was withdrawn
so that Americans could take the,

sible to make the change.
AS q result of: the change there
would be a general shakeup Of ofHcers

BEFORE OR AFTER?

The great contention among
biblical scholars is this:
Will Jesus return to earth BE-
FORE or AFTER the millen-
mum?
Popular evangelists Of the Bill
Sunday type always preach an
imminent coming of Christ in the
flesh, to usher in the millennium,
which is the predicted thousand
years of peace"
These are called "pre-millen-
nialists."
Other bible scholars, who may
be called in general the high
brows" Of. the church, contend
that Christ will come AFTER
the millennium; that the world
must prepare for his coming.
These are called "post-millen-
nial!sts."
According to the former school
it is altogether possible that Jesus
in person may come in the midst
of a terrific battle to usher in the
everlasting peace.
But whichever faction is right,
both beliefs place the end of the
world AFTER the millennium
in, other words, 1000 years away.
