what was the matter with the old
battlefield Obviously the matter
with it was that the British would
not let them stay in it. The German
tone is the same, but the victories it
boasts of are strangely different from
those about which it boosted not so
long ago. 1t boasted then over the
occupation of the enemy's country,
over victorious battles. over con-
quered nations; now it boasts, in the
same tone, that it has disarrangcd
the enemy's plans and given its pur-
suers a difficult ground to travel over.

A DIXIE HYMN.

AL hail the day when banners gay
Are floating everywhere,
To tell the world those banners furled
Were furled by men who dare;
Who proudly stand on native land
As peerless as the day,
When rebel yell mid shot and shell
Inspired the Men Of Gray"
There never yet was one who met
The boys Of Dixie land.
That ever heard one whining word
To name Old Dixie grand.
Whatever task true honors ask,
However hard the way,
Is surely wrought by men who fought
Those men who wore the gray.
The boys unchecked. with heads erect
Lead in the grand parade.
Twas bitter cost when all was lost
But They were Ne'er dismayed.
Aloft they hold Old Glory's fold
In proud, supremest way
But graves and scars and stars and bars
Are sacred to THE Gray"
At last the years have dried all tears,
And time all wounds has healed;
The blood once shed when patriots bled
Clements the ties revealed.
As heroes shine in battle line
As night the stars portray,
So knight-hood springs when valor brings
Together Blue and Gray,
CHORUS:
We swell today the nations lay,
My Country tits OF thee
"In Dixie Land I'll take my stand"
Sweet land of liberty"
Old Glory flies meath Dixie skies
And ever there shall wave;
This Is the way, old soldiers Gray,
Stand for the free and brave.

A Glorious Idea.

France today needs America. She
needs our strong supporting arm. The
gallant land of Lafayette and Roch-
ambeau looks to the republic which
she helped to bring into existence.
What can we do for Francois We,
who are about to fight a common
enemy, who know her extremity, who
see her battling with superlative valor
to cast the invader from her soil,
can do something more than Wall
Street proposes we shall do.
Wall Street wants to lend France
$oo,ooo,ooo, at 6 per cent interest,
with the stipulation that $I2o,ooo, 900
of French stocks and bonds be de-
posted as collateral 'In addition,
the holders of the notes have the
option of collecting their debt in
francs at the rate of SIS francs to
the ST, this being about 10 per cent
below mint parity according to the
advertisements of the bankers, and
that much additional load upon the
French people"
Yet this same land of France loan
ed money to the United States in
the days of our struggle for inde-
pendence at 5 per cent interest with
out asking for security or credit, and
later cancelled the interest for the
whole period of the war "as a new
proof of affection and friendship"
AS the New York World asks :
What would George Washington say
to that? What would Thomas JEFF
ferson say? What would Benjamin
Franklin say?"
Perhaps they would contemptuously
make the charge that the nation had
descended to the level of a mere
pawnbroker. They would call upon
us to throw the moneychanger out
of our international relations, and to
show the gratitude we owe the gal
liant land across the seas.
The World makes the imperative
call upon the United States that it
Ought to give $1,000, 100000 to
France without days unnecessary
delay-not as loan. but as a gift
as new proof of affection and
friendship We can we'll afford to
do it, and it would be the most eff
fective war measure that could be
adopted" 1t declares that such a
gift would exert 4 greater moral In
fluence in Germany than any army
we could recruit or any policy of re-
sistance to German ruthlessness thar
we could adopt. 1t would be the
hardest blow that we could strike
against German autocracy, and the
most telling blow"
A gift like that to France would
be worthy of the historic friendship
between the two peoples and would,
in truth, be the most practical means
Of assistance we could lend to the
allies in their struggle with Hohen-
zoi1ernism.
