AMERICANISM

The Kansas City Star looks ahead and sees great things to follow the sending of three or four million American soldiers and Red Cross and " " workers and engineers and builders to Europe to stay for a year or more. In its vision it beholds the fol- lowing:
 Europe never has become acquainted with America. Our ways to the European have been the ways of strangers and our customs have been outside hi3 mental horizon.
 The millions of Americans who arc gO- ing to live abroad for the next year or two are going to change all this. The European will receive a liberal education in all things American.
 The time Is coming when rubles and francs and lire and shillings and crowns all will be computed in terms of Yankee finance. The tourist of the future need never fear that the Neapolitan cabby will misunderstood an offer of ''two-bits to haul his American fare from one of the grand hotels on the water front to the Gal lery Nazionale Nor need some of the younger Americans be surprised to get real ly-truly United States ice cream cones when they ask for them in Paris, instead of the present more formal, business edible. creme glace. Then will no Sunday afternon in the Bois de Boulogne be complete without its baseball game, and one might well ex- pect to see a goodly turnout of earls and dukes and such when the New York Giants cross bats with the London Lions for the first game of a real worlds series on Vim bledon Common or somewhere around Putney Green. Indeed, 1t would occasion no great surprise if his majesty the king pitched the first ball, to inaugurate the event, with the lord mayor of London or the receiving line" behind the home plate.
 It Is only a step farther to fancy one 8 self finding good copy of Custer Last Fight" in the National Gallery and an ex- cellent likeness of John Ingalls, in plaster at the British museum, while no doubt at the Winter Palace in Petrograd one will observe a handsome portrait of the man who will have established the Moscow Shanghai Aerial Express; and in the Gap itoline museum in Rome will be kept run ming a miniature model of the first Liberty motor that CdIIcO OlllCG Oto1tSS oi VI -4A over the Tyrolean Alps, to say nothing of several of the latest designs of Henry Ford S new tractors.
 In short, the day is coming when Amer ican men, American methods and Amer ican goods will be known throughout the world, just as now American ideals rapidly are becoming known. With the United States leading in merchant marine, the time is not far distant when wares stamped Made in America" logically will have supplanted those with that more odious phrase which was boastfully and too plain ly becoming evident in every quarter ot the globe on whatever article one, touched, be it a china clock or birthday gift keyring.
 Americanizing the world need be no great task, when vastly more than half the world already is willing to be American ized. Fortunately. the United States has no designs or other countries, nor wants none of their territory; yet the United States desires no copyright on American methods, American spirit and American happiness and freedom
