would probably have gone so hard

The real crux Of the conversation
came when Bert and his pals put
Uncle Sam on trial.
"What are they going to do in the

fellows who have been over here do

up to me.
Plainly the question meant, Nov

war have forced Uncle Sam into the
conflict, will the nation as a whole

America is on trial today, in the
minds of the men in the trenches.
I've talked with Canadians and
Australians and English Tommies
They feel just as the American fight

about all they can see for the time

AM ERICA
CBy John Boyle Reilley)

(By John Boyle Reilley) What victor king e'er spared the con quered foe? How much of mercy did strong Prus- sia show When anguished Paris at her feet lay prone? The German trumpet rang above her moan, The clink of Uhlan spurs her temples knew, Her Arch of Triumph spanned their triumph, too. Not thus, O South! when thy proud head was low, Thy passionate heart laid open to the foe Not thus, Virginia. did thy victors meet Al AppOmattoX him who bore defeat; No brutal show abased thine hOnOred state Grant turned from Richmond at the very gate! 70, this thy work. Republic! this thy health, To prove mans birthright to a com monwealth; To teach the peoples to be strong and wise. Till armies, nations, noble, royalties Are laid at rest with all their fears and hates; Till Europe's thirteen monarchies are states. Without a barrier and without a throne, Of one grand federation like our own"

NOT ONE POUND OF WHEAT WAS SENT
 FROM ANTIP0DES
Premier of the Common wealth of Australia Re- counts Hardships of the Submarine Campaign on Allied Shipping

MELBOURNE, Australia. Sept. l. Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Not a bushel of wheat was shipped from Australia to Great BTi- tain during the month of June, al though the British government had ar ranged to take 600,000 bushels a month, said Premier William Nj. Hughes in parliament the other day. MT. Hughes was discussing the effect of the German submarine campaign aud Australian shipbuilding measures to combat it. He said:
 This (submarine) campaign hl; other effects besides sending ships . the bottom. It has a deterrent effect in preventing neutral shipping from entering our ports. If l make knOY Il ne net effect upon this country it W Il nore than anything else make tne people of Australia understand what war means. Under the agreement made with the Br,'ih government some time ago it was provided that 1t should lige 600,000 tons of wheat d month. During the month of June not one bushel of wheat was shipped from this country to Great Britain. l feel sure that if I were to speak for 70 years nothing that 1 could say woul d conjure up picture more serious than that. Some of the channels for tie disposal of Australian produce aso wholly closed. It is a realization oi this difficult position that has cause q us to tackle the question in dead-y earnest"
 Mir. Hughes declared that if it bal lot been for the recent purchase Ly Great Britain of the Australian wool clip of the coming season the financial condition of the commonwealth would have bordered upon the impossible.
 In a subsequnt statement relative to Australia's shipbuilding program, Mir. Hughes said:
 "The government has decided after most careful consideration that these ships shall be built b q standardized design which will apply to all parts, incuding engines; ahd designs are be- ing prepared under the supervision or MT King-Salter (head of the naval dockyard on Cockatoo Island, Sydney) for this purpose. I also have had an interview with the general manager of the Broken Hill Steel works and all preliminary arrangements for the sup ply of the material for framework which his company can supply
 AS time is the essence of the con- tract continued the prime minister, the government Is making every ef- fort to ensure that nctning shall be left undone on its part necessary for the immediate cJmmencement of oper- ations.'

ORDER OF THE BATH IS ANCIENT ONE IN
 ENGLISH kNIGHTH00l)
Some Explanation of the Or der to Which King Geora . Has Just Appointed Fo.- mer Ambassador to Ge-- many

An effort is being made in congre-
 to pass legislation which would pr vent former Ambassador James Gera. from accepting the order of the Bs conferred upon him by King Georv of England. Though such a bill has been introduced in the house it is n
 thought it will receive any serioL, considera ion.
 One of the oldest orders of Englis knighthood is the Order of the Bat
 which is supposed to date to the pe- iod O. the ancient Franks, the inha itants of Lower Germany. Letter patent for the present epoch of u 3 order were issued on May 25, 1725, and. today it is the largest knighthoo order in point of number, and at [, 9 same time the most influential. bein.; represented by 717 knights of the fir. class 3G2 of the second class al l.106 of the third class.
 The Order of the Bath is believe to have been introduced into Englar by the Saxons. The ancient Frank when the conferred knighthooC among other solemn rights used tn; i of bathing. and this custom befn continued in England. the members he order were called Knights of tk Bath. In the reign of Henry ", the. |, was a degree of knighthood specific under the express appellation of tl e Bath. The king, on the day Of coronation in the Tower of London. conferred the order upon forty-six O. quires From that time it was GU. tomary with the kings to confer tn. dignity preceding their coronation the coronation of their queens, th births and marriages of royal issu and or similar occasions. The las Q time Knights of the Bath were s1 made was at the coronation of King Charles H.. in 1861, after which the order was neglected until the year 1725. when King George I. revived it and ordered a book of statutes for the government of the order by which the number of knights was fixed at thirty eight. namely, the sovereign and thir- iy-seven Knights Companions. The order continued without any alteration until 1915, when it was changed so that those who had distinguished themselves in the wars against Ma poleon might be received into the or der. With this view, the Most Hon. Crable and Military Order of the Bath was divided into three classes under Crosses, Knights Commanders and Knights Companions.

EXAMINATIONS AT DOUGLAS

Forty more fighting men added to Uncle Sans new national army was the immediate result of the examina- tons held Friday at Douglas at the Y. M. c. A. by the county examining board. A total of 21S men were ex- amined The forty mentioned passed the physical examination and did not claim exemption. Forty-five claimed exemption on the ground of depend ents. It is probable about one-fOurth of these will be denied. Of the 21S men examineh S4 were excused on account of being aliens. Thirty-nine men were rejected on account of physical defects, the percentage being the highest since the examinations be gan. according to Dr. Hunt, county physician.

DOWNING STREET HEADQUARTERS OF
 BRITISH EMPIRE

Downing street-a blind alley about 100 yards long, which is the head quarters of the British empire.
 No. 10 Downing street-a brown brick gable-roofed old house, just across the blind alley from the foreign office, which for 25O years has been the official residence of the first lord of the treasury. who is commonly the premier of Great Britain.
 No. 10 Downing street is, in fact, the White House of the British em- pire. If Americans are wont to think of their executive mansion at Wash ingtOn as a simple and democratic es- tablishment they should consider No. 10 Downing street.
 If it were anywhere south of Four teenth street in New York and had been lucky enough to survive to this date it would be warehouse, point ed out as good example of the old Dutch construction of the early gen erations of Manhattan.
 The king. who merely reigns, has palaces and castles scattered about the country The prime minister. who actually rules, lives at No. 10 Down. ing street. There is practically no garden about the place. The old house, as gloomy and uninviting as possibly could be imagined. looks as if it might have been dropped by accident under the ice of the huge foreign office building just across Downing street.
 But none the less Downing street is the headquarters of the British em- pire, and No. 10 is the residence of its ruler. wonder how many Ameri- cans, or for that matter Britishers. know that Downing street was named after an American? It was.
 Whether Sir George Downing was actually born at Salem, Mass, is not quite certain. The records in Massa- chusetts and the histories in England have been searched with great care without making the matter quite cer tain. But it is pretty we'll established l@ldl ut was DOiH III Olu odlclu dilI there is no doubt he was the son Of Downing of Salem and his wife.
