FRENCH TIGER" A GOOD
AMERICAN,

No clearer paen OF victory has
been heard, in these glorious weeks
OF allied success, than that OF
Premier Clemenceau, the Tiger OF
France. Not the least notable thing
about his utterance is its essential
Americanism.
The splendid victories of recent
weeks" he says. in which the spirit
if our allies has so magnlficently
rivaled ours, has definitely settled
the fortune OF war. The enemy,
bewildered, deceived himself as TO
his own strength and now is find
ing out that he underestimated us.
The results achieved are the first
fruits OF our harvest OF rewards,
the highest OF which will be having
delivered the world from ruthless
oppression and brutality.
I'VE 'hail the dawn, the first
CLEANS OF which frightened the
victorious brows OF the founders of
the American republic and OF the
fathers of our revolution. The
last obstacle to the establishment
OF rights among men is about to
disappear. The triumph is near.
universal cooperation toward
the worlds rejuvenation will attain
the ide1l goal for which so many
genel ons have been striving
Here is fine proof that our
French allies are one with us in the
spirit with which we are fighting
and the ideals that we are striving
for. British sentiment is probably
no whit behind the French, but
even Lloyd George could hardly
put it so eloquently.

sigh OF contented resignation

Officials of the American Social

Four hundred thousand British
soldiers discharged from the army
have been returned to English IN
dustry without difficulty. Nearly
two thirds of them have returned
to their old employers. The millions
remaining will be placed just as
smoothly when the war ends. That
is possible because Great Britain
has worked out complete, practi-
cal plan for this economic replace
ment.
An eight-year-old New York girl
says $l2,500 year isn't enough to
live on and wants her allowance
raised to $40, 5000. The cost o'living
has gone up, dreadfully, to be sure.
The Belgian army's champion
soccer football team has challenged

A New York woman, registering
