President Lincoln called for troops to

Every American will heartily ap-
plaud the plea made by General Per-
shing to his soldiers in behalf Of an
orderly and courteous conduct during
their stay in Europe. The position OF
the United States in the eyes OF
Europe will depend no more upon
feats Of arms than upon the personal
conduct Of the men who represent this
nation in the world conflict. The men
and women Of France, England, Bel
gium, and even Of Germany, know
little of the United States. The last.
ing impression which will be made up
on their minds will be determined
largely by the personal behavior Of
the soldiers. Today the word looks
upon the German soldier as true de-
scendant of the Hun, whose savagery
was SO intense that the grass never
grew on soil his heel had pressed. That
IL an unjust picture Of the German
soldier, but il is nevertheless indelibly
impressed upon the minds Of people
of all other nations because Of the
atrocities committed in territory
which the German armies have invad-
ed,

In a recent reading Of the "horo'
scope" which is popular syndioated
feature in the columns Of some Of our
exchanges We came across this pre-.
diction from the planets: "The South
should benefit greatly from public en-
terpriscs. especially after August"
The stars indeed speak truly in this
instance. Soon after August the
great environments OF the national
army viii be teeming with drafted
soldiers, whose maintenance will set
floods Of public money swirling
through the communities where these
cantonments are situated. These can
tonments number Is, nine Of them are
fixed at favored points in the Southern
States, where our troops will be pre-
pared for the rigors of life in u
trenches Of Northern France through
life in the balmy air Of our own
Sunny South,
In addition, the majority Of the
camps for the federalized
National Guard have likewise been es-
tabIished in Southern States, and from
these centers also there will well up
copious streams of public money. We
have not hitherto taken much stock
in the daily horoscope" as we have
seen it from time to time in the news
papers. But we must admit that this
particular prophecy has made a ten
strike.

II is impossible for American sol
diers TO gain a reputation in any de-
gree approaching that now suffered BY
the Germans. But ii is not enough
that we merely avoid an evil reputa-
ton. The conduct Of the American
soldier on the firing line and in the
villages Of any country to which they
shall be sent, should be, and will be,
such as to leave in the memories Of all
observers an impression Of manly
courage combined with chivalrous
courtesy,
The mental pictures we have OF our
own American heroes were not Great
ed by records Of great deeds but rath-
er by stories of little incidents which
revealed the true characters Of the
men. Future generations in Europe
will know the typical American by
the personal conduct Of our soldiers
rather than by the success or failure
OF masses Of men on the field OF
battle. General Pershing recognizes
this and he will have the hearty CO.
operation Of his men in the desire to
earn for America the high place TO

LETTER FROM GREENLAND
Interesting Letter Sent TO Manchester
Man and Wife From a Cousin in the
Eur NArth

Interesting Letter Sent to Manchester
Man and Wife From a Cousin in thu
Far North.
The following letter was recently
received by Mr.. and Mrs. j. Clarence
Bacon Of this Village from Mr.. +. O
Hovey of New York City, naturalist
in charge of the first relief expedition
sent by the American Museum Of Nat
ural History to relieve the Macmillan
expedition:
Etah, Greenland,
! 8 December, 1916.
My dear Maude and Clarence:
was very much pleased when
found letters from you in the bundle
of mai that reached US day before
yesterday, and | am going to write
you note to start on its way to-
morrow by an Eskimo who is going
now to North Star Bay, where some
Danes have trading and scientific
station. l can hardly hope that he
will be in time to catch the mail which
leaves there this winter, but the letter
will go out in the spring, think, via
South Greenland and Denmark and
reach you some weeks before we and
our effects can get to civilization.
The "Danmark," the second ship
which the Museum has sent hither for
the relief of the Croker Land Expedi-
ton, was seven weeks in making the
crossing of Melville Bay and did not
reach North Star Bay until % Septem-
Der, where she was imprisoned by the
ice, before she could attend to her
business there and get out again to
come up here only 100 nautical miles
farther north. But she is on this side
Of the dreaded Melville Bay now, and
we shall get out next summer all
right, along the west side of Bafiin
Bay. The Museum is having an aw
fully hard and costly task in the relief
Of its expedition. Hoodooed, isn't it
do not need to tell you that this
experience has proven very hard one
for me, but | managed to live through
ast winter on board the George B.
c'uett," in Parker Snow Bay. l am
feeling better now than ! did year
ago, my surroundings are better and
more congenial this year and see no
'eason for being apprehensive for the
future. A fortnight hence
he long night Of four months will be
ialf over, and our spirits will rise as
he sun comes back to US, so that we
hall really enjoy life when the Won
efully beautiful spring arrives in the
after part of April or the first of
lay. After we once are at home
gain, the disagreeable features of the
asst two years will gradually diminish
n prominence and we shall be able to
I'll our friends many nice things
bout the Arctic.
The most important event of recent
avs was our celebration of Thanks
wing Day, which we did in good
d-fashioned New England style with
dinner that was remarkable for an
spedition now in the fourth year of
S absence from home. Among other
lings We had roast venison, squash !.
I'd mincc pies and real coffee with +
.rumilk) cream and sugar, and were
Die to regale seventeen Eskimos after
e got through and then have some !
ling left.
With much love TO you and yours, !
I'd hoping and expecting TO see you ;.

His feet lie still in the stony trail, the

 back and swear that I'm glad he's

 He ate my flapjacks yesterday; he
 kicked me the day before; And he rubbed it in when he prayed at
 me-but he'll never do that no more,
 My voice is cracked from the million
 times I've yelled at that stubborn jack;
 My arm is stiff from the million times
 I've larruped his mangy back He's dead at last-old Pedro's dead. And I'm rid of his deviltry But I wish the world didn't somehow seems so lonesome place to me He loved to sing when I wanted to sleep; and his strenous hymn of praise,
 It left a gash in the quivering air that didn't heal up for days. I But, just the same, though his voice was harsh and he wasn't no moclxin' bird, To hear it now, I would call his song the sweetest I ever heard. " There is the scar on his battered rump where walloped him with a stone;
 And here is the place where raised his bark with the limb of a dead madrone. He earned them both when he stole my flour and scattered my ruined pack;
 He earned them both, the ornery thief but 1 wish I could take them back!
 His feet lie still in the dusty trail, all
 ragged around the edge: All broken with hammerng up the pass and pounding across the ledge. iss&3 Poor patient feet, How many years you travelled the steep highway Labor and life for the man you servedi d curse and a blow for pay.

Aw, damn the dust-How it gets in feler's
 eyes.
 VII I'll camp tonight in a lonesome place down there on the Trinity, l And the whimpering Ifjun graveyard | owls will sing in the frs for me | I'll long for the bray of an old jackas: l when I hear the coyote vail, 1 Calling his mate to the waiting feast
