THE AIDE OF MYTH
(ChicagO Herald)


 George Ade and Mrs O'Learys Chcagos chief traditions, and the greater of these is Ade. It is strange thing for young city to Homerize of it's excitizens during his lifetime. Yet about him there is already rising wall of myth.
 There in the loop innumerabe walters and barbers who soemnly boast that in the good old days they excusively attended dietetc and tonsoria wants of George Ade In certain restaurant hangs sign, Our pumpkin pies made from pumpkins raised on George Ades farm" proprietor seeking thereby spice his dish with something of the flavor of Indiana neighbours wit
 and start him fondling old times Sooner later he will volunteer. q used shave George Ade when he working here in Yes, sir he will pro in tone too familiar for reverence and too reverent familiarity, he used to in here al ways-and funny? Him and l used to pull ful funny stuff Many's the time I've laughed hard I've nicked his chin"
 Or go for dinner to any ong-established restau- rant. Your waiter, if not obviously too young will you around to newspaper talk then suddenly and impa,iently he will begin The newspaper boys ain what they used to be. No Dooley Dunne and Ade and favorte waiter. Funny? Funniest in the world. I used to give him lots of tips and help him with his funny stuff
 Chicagoans having Ade pass down Michigan Avenue, grimaced vigorous and having appropriately nudged neighbors, cherished for years the mem ory of having sight of him. In the clubs up among the newspaper offices when the older men congregate and the younger listed, the myth loom starts really whirling the pattern of Ades anecdotes. The town delights in quoting him, and this in his life time, which is passing strange.
 And the most numerous think about it all is the that if Ade had been shaved every barber who claims to have shaved him constantly, or have meal with every waiter who claims to have fed him habtually, he would have no time to have made his reputation humorist.

 Following the German wake it is difficult to understand why the re tiring army gives up without fight some of the enormously strong posi- dons that now are in British or French hands. Of course these posi- lions, including the high barriers of the heaviest wire, could have been destroyed by sufficient concentra- lion of gunfire, as were the positions that the Germans were forced to re linquish along the Ancre and the Somme, but the retirement has saved he Allies countless tons of ammuni- lion.
 The changes that have taken place within a few days in the territory recently occupied by the Germans are wonderful. Ruined villages which wo days ago seemed isolated had military traffic policemen on duty on heir main streets today.

THE DIE IS CAST

The die is cast We have officially ac- cepted "the guage of battle thrown down by the Kaiser Our old United States is at war with powerful foreign foe and there is no turning back with patriotism or honor. We must look only forward and move only for ward until we bring the government of the German Empire to terms and end the war"
 This means that the time for analysis and discussion has passed It terminated when the name of President Wilson was affixed to the wage resolution at :l3 o'clock this after no0n Washington time It is now the plain duty of every American to keep his own counsel as best he may, and be ready to rem der such service as lies within his power for his country. It is no longer his to reason why. It is his part only to accept and obey the orders and wishes of the captain in the fight. The occasion is solemn and the ordeal may be trying. But come what may, the part of each one of us is to be patriotic American Let not white feather be shown anywhere Let it go forth that hundred million Americans stand one man--and that the President is his leader

ROADS IN FRANCE FILLED WITH
 SOLDIERS
Spectacular Scenes Are Presented by Armies Marching to New
 EvaCuatiOnS.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, April 6.-The open fight. ing of the last two weeks during the German retreat has presented war pictures fascinatingly spectacular and closely approximating the older ideals or modern martial splendOr.
 The roads, or more exactly the remnants of roads, in some of the stricken districts of France have been fairly choken with troops on the move. From a recently evac. uated German stronghold could be seen today seemingly endless col. umn of cavalry coming over a dis. tant hill, dipping down into a beau tiful valley and rising again by a winding road to a broad open field where camp was pitched for the night.
 At times the brown-hued horses and brown-clad men were almost in- visible against the brown winter land scape. At points further forward Infantry detachments could be seen in the distance. skirm- ishing, lodging, one unit covering an- other, until it seemed almost as if the days of Indian fighting had re- turned
 This open movement is a striking change from the dealy staleness, the depression of fixed trench fighting. On the other hand, it is wonderful how the men long inured to trench life have come to love holes in the ground. During the rest period on long marches many of them can be seen sitting in deep shell craters in preference to the paved roadside

AMERICA AND FRANCE

It remained for Rene Besnard, French under Secretary of State again to bring the worlds atten on that never to be forgotten toast drunk to George Washington in New York by 800 Americans and Frenchmen' on Feb. 22, 1795 The words were:
 To the President of the United States:
 May the day that gave him birth mark
 an epoch in the annals of liberty 4-
 To the French Republic May she tr
 umph over her enemies and obtain the
 ranalhy or peace founded upon justice
 To the memory of heroes of all na
 defense Of the rights of man!
 Friends and allies of France have changed dur. ing the tumultous years but, republic to republic France and the United States will pledge fealty to liberty justice and reason and do honor to the hero 1c defenders of the rights man among all nations
 The tie that has bound America and France has been peculiar one, and French vicssitudes have of ten made the relation peculiar but always there has been hearty and close sympathy between intel. lectual and progressive France and intellectual and progressive America.

 Since the violent uproar over the shipment of American fish from Alaskan waters via Prince Rupert the United States, thereby cutting out Ketchikan and threatening to do great harm the American fishing industry interesting items have appeared in the Prince Rupert News.
 One told of the dumping of forty-one tons of her. ring bait outside because the cold storage plants refused handle it, and this in the face of short in bait. Another told about four fishing boats carrying average of 90,000 pounds of habut each which called there but waived on to Seattle be- the Grand Trunk Pacific did have any re- frigerator in which to ship the fish, and the cold storage plants had
 The last item does not make an American feel very much peeved. Bat of the sidelights in it should give the Canadians food for thought It was pointed out that the Grand Trunk Pacific only had fifty cold storage and depended on Borrowing from American lines But all the cars in the United States busy.
 Canada is in shape to build cars right now being busy with munitions, but this war is not going last forever and while the Grand Trunk Pa cific is having hard sledding it will be there with bells about the second year after the fighting ends cargo will get by that port if they can help it.

LOSS FOR BOHEMIAN CHINA.

The output of Bohemian china
last year was about half that of any
average normal year, and this, points
out Consul Wallace J. Young al
Carlsbad, was in the face of many
obstacles. Sales during the year were
principally of the cheaper grades
Domestic sales were satisfactory, the
demand in nearby neutral countries
greatly increased, and good markets
were also found in the occupied por-
tions of Russian Poland. The manu-.
facturers confidently expect that not
only will sales in the Balkans dc
better, but that when peace comes
there will be splendid outlets for
their wares in the Levant. The
American market, howegerI has ial.
ways been an important one for Be.
hemian china, and its regaining aft
er the war is a matter of serious con.
sideratiOn on the part of the manu-
facturers, particularly as it is under
stood that japanese china in imita-
tion of the Bohemian product, is
making great headway in the United
