Simplicity In Army
Dress
London Times Reporter Much
Impressed With American
Uniform,

, The London Times reporter who
met General Pershing and his stan
on the occasion of their passage
through the British metropolis was
so much impressed with the simplic-
ity OF the officers uniforms that he
described them in some detail for the
benefit of the Thunderer's readers.
Especially did he remark that, COM
pared to those of the British army,
the Americans uniforms are unob-
trusive. This may comfort some Of
their idea of. official dress from
watching a parade of the governors
staff AS matter of fact, the Amer
lean army never has been given to
excess in the matter of dress. While
he has always been arrayed more
definitely than was Gungha Dhin, he
has at no time sought to shame the
MONDAY sun. md some of his great
est accomplishments have been
achieved at times when his apparel
was least impressive. General Grant
received the surrender Of Robert e.
Lee attired in a battered service uni
form much worse for hard riding
over dusty roads on that memorable
morning, and many stories are re-
lated of how George Washington
went among his men unrecogniZed
because of the lack Of official desig-
nation. This is one Of the secrets Of
the American soldier. Our European
friends may note some other depar-
lures from tradition in the manners
of our army, but they will find the
boys" a magnificent lot of we'll
behaved young men, who may be
depended upon in a pinch. and who
know how to wear simple garb with
becoming dignity.-Omaha Bee.

He Told The Truth
Texas Editor Grew Weary OF
r Being Accused of Lying.

A West Texas editor got tired Of
being called a liar because of an,
occasional typographical error or
slight disarrangement of the facts
in publishing a commonplace news
item, says The Dallas Pitchfork. In
his wrath he announced in boldface
type as follows:
"a lot Of people in this town fall
out with the editor and brand him as
liar when the ordinary human
mistakes of life show up in a news.

fellow feelin' for every man in town

facts with the bark off, I'll admit,

somebody's feelings from being hurt.
I'm not afraid of any of you and I'll
be blamed if l don't print the plain
truth from now on, or until you get
every time l make some little un-
avoidable typographical error. Watch
my smoke.
How He Told Truth.
Here are some paragraphs culled
from the next issue:
John BENIN, the LATEST merchant
in town, made a trip to BelleVille
yesterday.
John CoyIe, our groceryman, who
voted with the Republicans in 1896
and consumes more mail-order whis-
ky than any other member OF the
Baptist church in this county, is do
ing a poor business. His store is
dirty and dusty. 1t is a wonder he
has any business at oil.
The Rev Mr.. Sly preached last
Sunday night at the Christian
chGrch. His sermon was punk and
uninteresting, except some stuff he
quoted from Bob Ingersoll, for which
he failed to give Bob any credit. He
also recited a few passages from one
of william Ebert Munsey's sermons
and had the gall to palm it off as his
own.
Tom Spradlin married Miss Cordie
Meador last trades day at the county
seat. 1t amt generally known, but
the marriage was brought about
mainly by a Remington shotgun
manipulated by the brides father,
Tom concludin' that marryin' was
the healthiest thing he could do un-
til other arrangements could be
made.
Married.: Miss Susie Scruggs and
Horace Guffin last Saturday at the
Methodist parsonage, the Rev. James
G.. Williams officiating. The bride is
very ordinary town girl, who flirts
with all the travelling men she meets,
and never helped her mother three
days all put together in her whole
life. She is anything but a beauty
resembling a gravel pit in the face,
and walks like duck. The groom is
a natural-born loafer and bum. He
never did a lick Of work until his
step daddy run him off from home
last fall. He went to the county seat
and just before starving TO death ac-
cepted a job as chambermaid in a
livery stable. AS soon as his ma
found out where he was she went
and got him and brought him home.
He now resides at the home of his
wife's father and says that he has
no definite plans for the future. Susie
will have hard row to hoe.

"oPEN DOOR" TO REMAIN
OPEN.

In the excitement Of the war crisis,
the Importance Of the recent under
standing reached with japan, has
been overlooked almost completely
in this country.
Secretary Lansing and Viscount
Ishil have announced an agreement
that bids fair to remove the ancient
misunderstanding between the two
nations, and lay the basis for a per-
manent friendship. The old problem
OF the "open door, in China appears
to have been solved.
Both governments disclaim any de-
sire to invade the territorial or
sovereignty rights Of China. Chinese
boundaries are to remain undisturb-
ed as far as Japan and America are
concerned, and the Chinese are to re-
tain the right to govern themselves.
The recognition of equal trade rights
also is set forth in the agreement,
but the right Of Japan to exercise a
modified Monroe doctrine is recog-
nized. 1t is the same principle that
America insists upon with respect to
her neighbors on this continent. They
must not be exploited by European
nations and Japan insists that her
commercial interests in China require
the same assurance.
The agreement may we'll form the
basis for permanent peace between
the white and brown races. If some
such articles are approved by the
conference that ends the present
world war. and If the allied nations
Of the world guarantee their enforce
ment there will be but one storm
cloud on the horizon, and that will
be the immigration question. That
might solve itself If Japan turned her
attention and her energies to Asia in
stead of to America. f..
