that, you represent our public and you
represent American people, as a whole
"Men. I feel sure you viii continue to
them. and IL called upon to

FRIENDSHIPS BRED BY WAR
Mans Inherent Instinct for -Comrs6e.
ship Renewed in the Stress of
the Great Conflict.

One of the most affecting and inSptr.
ing side issues of the war is the re-
vival of mans inherent instinct fol-
comradeship and all that that implies
in its more fundamental aspects. We
make friends even under our luxurious
civilization. But what is that compared
to the sense Of comradeship developed
uader the fire of great guns, gas
bombs and all the destructive engines
of warfare? Once more the ancient
legends of sacrifice of friend for friend
are made real among men in whom the
primitive virtues We're stifled not so
long ago by the materialistic impulses
Of an unheroic period. In very mild
way this is illustrated by this semihu-
morous extract from letter to the
Vigilantes, apropos of Miss Lynch's trip
to the French front:
sour chauffeur, gray-haired and
heavily built, had been modified for
this employment. At the hottest point
of very hot road, with the sun in the
zenith, the dust choking. circumstances,
of course the tire burst. He put him
self to work, the perspiration, accord
ing to scriptural Injunction literally
pouring in rivers from his face and
head The sigh with which he accom-
plished his work was, more expressive
than any Anglo-Saxon sigh. ever lis
tened to. A half mile or so further
along we came up with car that had
proudly passed US, also with a pune
tured tire. Hopping from his seat our
chauffeur put on the second tire and
when he came back to us explained
that he did it because his companion
chauffeur had a little touch Of heart
trouble. If he were hot and tired be-
fore, imagine his plight after this Sec
ond effort, but not word Of complaint,
just the smile Of 'camaraderie' and we
who had been inclined to grumble a bit
at this felt suddenly ashamed and re-
lapsed into an admiring silence

IF They Only Would

eve shall have to continue to
speak by the sword" says German
Foreign Munster, employing the
official militaristic figure of speech.
If they would speak by thesword
alone the civilized world would have
less numerous causes of grievance
against them. Heretofore a large
part of their conversation has
been conducted by poison plots
against men and animals, by
treachery against friendly and
neutral nations, by asphyxiation
bombs in violation OF all principles
of law and humanity, by the re-
introduction of slavery as a war
measure, by every constituencies
method that a system OF black
savagery could devise.
Speaking only by the sword
would be a great reform of Prus-
sian militarism. 1t is too much to
hope it will 90 even that far on the
path of honor and decenoy. 1t will
continue to speak by every dis
honorable. unlawful and out
rageous weapon it can possibly
discover. Chicago Herald.

TABLET HARD TO SWALLOW

tablet, probably the most frequent mis-

Of about l per cent Of pungent oils,

but anything Of rodlike shape, about

without great difficulty, If at all, even
