When the men Of the army or the

member something, they do not
forget. And then remember" by
acting. The Alamo was remem-

but in the spirit of justice. 1t is
proven bal that Americans are slow
to anger, that their good nature can
stand great deal of rubbing the
wrong way before it becomes bristly.
But, as was demonstrated in the
Revolutionary, Mexican, Civil and and
Spanish American struggles, the Just
anger of the American is shown not
by wordiness, but by action.
Because the American people as
whole have not been giving express
sion from the housetops to hatred
over the unrighteous methods en-
ployed in German warfare, the Ger

then that some Of the Germans at

men can be fighting mad" said
an American army officer recently,
"even when they are smiling. 1t is
said by those who know him that
General Custer always wore a gentle
smile, even when in battle, and that
he never allowed himself to become
ruffled or excited Whatever anger
the American fighting forces show
will be shown in action-and then
these forces will prove their ability
to fight against the finest of the
Kaiser's warriors.
Nov, in this remembering bust
ness, the men of the navy and the
men of the army have determined to
remember the Tuscania' and the
gallant lads who went down with
her. But these men should not be
expected to do all the remembering
The whole nation should remember
that disaster, and every man, wom-
an and child in the land can do SO:
All of us cannot go to the lighting
front and do our remembering but
every one of us who stays at home
can remember that disaster and
the illegal method by which the Tus-
cania was sunk, by lending the gov
eminent money with which to right

record as having Remembered the
Tuscania and the lads who lost their
lives when she was torpedoed Off
