Our Defenders

Good bye to the boys who go out of Phoenix this morning in defense of the principle on which the government of their country founded. It is not a stretch of imagination to believe that they are defenders of their homes if those principles are swallowed up in the catastrophe the of American homes will be logical consequence Not this year or the next but ultimately There was never before such test of the stability of the republican form of gov ernment
 The civil war test If the south had won the experiment of democracy would have gone on TOT time at least Democracy would have been weakened but would then have been proved to be failure Now, if Germany wins it will be established beyond doubt that rule by the people is failure Democracy will then be shown have stood the test It will definitely have perished from the earth
 All our institutions will go with it and with our institutions, the Amercan of living It will not matter so much that shall be governed by foreign autocracy. We should probably not be at autocracy can control and direct our destinies whenever it desires to do Our form of government would exist by sufferance.
 Thus the boys who are going out today are going out to defend the homes of America the same sense they would defend them if foreign invader had al ready landed on shores They are not carving war to Europe but going Europe to prevent inc war from being carried America

Some System Needed

If Americans going to cut any figure in the in France there will have to be reduction of their activities to something of system than has marked the operation of the selective draft which after the registration completed has been attended by almost constant confusion.
 Something like 5000 telegraphic orders governing countermanding changing previous orders and some Of them quite contradictory. In the of there were good reasons but for others there apparent When arrangements be- san to be made for the mobilization of the national army orders came from independent sources. Every body giving orders. One day instructions would be received for certain contingents to mobilize at certain camps and then the day, order issued evidently with other object than to render the former null and void would direct mobilization at another point ~'.
 Times mobilization and dates of departure for changed rapidly that local authorities and selected men kept in a state of uncertainty
 Once the have been mobzed we may expect that there will be a modification of this confusion There will then be only authority for the dsposi ton of troops The work of the provost marshal general will have been finished. That will not mean however, that confusion will be eliminated Even single authority may not be equal the task We have not had much experience in such matters and t is yet to be whether we can profit from the pan fu experience we have had
 But of one thing may be reasonably sure and that is that if the American military department can not establish order and after the troops are in France the British and French will complete the task

hagen by our skillful minister there, the Honorable Maurice F. Egan, who has devoted many years of his life to the task of adding the three beautiful Danish islands to the dominion of the United States. He is an able dlplo- mat, very popular in Copenhagen, where he is dean of the diplomatic corps. At this dinner we met Count ess Hegermann-L -Lindencrone, whose interesting books, The Sunny Side of Diplomatic Life" and The Courts of Memory" have had a large circulation in America In Copenhagen, too, both on the way out and in, we lunched with Count Rantzau- -BrOckerdorf, then the German minister there, now pro- noted to take Zimmermann's place IS minister of foreign affairs. Count RantZau is skillful and willy and not at all military in his instincts; l should say he is far more inclined to arrive at a reasonable compromise than the average German diplomat. He is charmingly international, with none of the rough points and aggressive manners which characterize so many Prussian officials.
 In judging the German people, we
 
 made great progress in the last forty years in commerce and chemistry, the very little liberty they possess Is a plant of very recent growth. About the year 17S0, Frederick the Great, having sent some money to restore the burned city of Greiffenberg, in Silesia, the magistrate of that town called upon him to thank him. They kneeled and their spokesman said:
 We render unto your majesty in the name of the inhabitants of Greiffen- berg our humble thanks for the most gracious gift which your majesty deigned to bestow in aid and to assist us in rebuilding our homes.
 The gratitude of such dust as we is, as we are aware, of no moment or value to you. We shall, however, i'm plore God to grant your majesty His divine favors in return for your roya bounty.
 Too many Germans today feel that 1 they are mere dust before the almost 1 countless royalties of the German em- i pire And these royalties are toe prone to feel that the kingdoms, duke 1 doms and municipalities of Germany | and their inhabitants are their private property The princes of Nassau anC | Anspach and Hesse, at the time of oul Revolution, sold their unfortunate sub l jects to the British government to b'
 exported to fight the Americans. Oul l American soil covers the bones of man! poor German peasant who gave LII 1 his life in a war from which he gained | nothing of which he knew less thai | nothing.
 When Frederick the Great, the mode i and exemplar or all German royalties
 died in 17S6, he disposed of the King
 dom of Prussia in his will as if it hat 1 been one of his horses. q bequeat

Never a word of cheer, Fronting Hill 70s shell-swept slope, With the dull dead nlan in our rear. Always the whine of the shell, Always the roar of it's burst Always the tortures of hell. As waiting and wincing cursed. Our luck and the guns and the Boche, When our corporal shouted Stand to-" And I heard someone cry, Clear the front for the

cut and slid down the sides that were
almost perpendicular. Rocks and
earth were dislodged, but she reaches
the bottom safely, although her white
uniform was badly torn and soiled
and she had suffered several cuts and
bruises. Men in the gang picked her
up when she reached the bottom,
brushed the dirt from her medicine
kit for her, and she began work on
the injured man, Frank Madelont of
1850 Rocka way avenue, Brooklyn, who
had been injured by a grading ma
