Private Danny
i'm France
BY FRAZIER HUNT.

There is some individuals In this
company Of ours in this little French
village that is mascot mad. We don't
any more than get rid Of one Of those
fool hangers on than somebody pops up
and takes up a collection and goes out
and buys another one like it. only worse.
And. OF course. it's always Private San
dy Splits that does 1t. AS far as am
personally concerned. Sandy himself is
Just about my idea OF a company mas
cot himself
Back in the states we used to have
that goat and then when he had an un-
timely end we got that monkey, the
Crown Prince, and then when Sandy got
him all shot full Of steel bullets the
other day 1t looked like old K Company
was going to have a little rest from
mascots But it wasn't to be. In
twenty-four hours Sandy was around
begging French franks to buy another
pet with.
Personally 1 give him one. thinking
maybe he would get some decent pet
like a canary bird or tame turtle or
something like that. But not Sandy
he had his eye on another he-goat that
he claimed would do everything but
give milk. And even before he saw him
he named him Bolsheviki.
Anyway Fat Walters and Sandy and
me went out in the country where we
was told if we could find this goat to
buy him. Now female goats is very
useful over here in France. the milk
from same having many boosters among
the natives. but male goats don't do SO
will cost US 40 franks. which is bucks" ;"
Sandy argued, but we can get nice
young he-goat for 4 bucks" So natur-
ally we all voted for he-goat.
Buying that goat was some comedy.
but finally we give the old lady her
with Bolsheviki. He was a tan goat.
and from now on l am wise to these
tan goats. Then in
stead Of having a chain tied to him we
didn't have hardly anything more than
a heavy string-which was like trying
to tie the German war machine with a
piece Of rope.
Well. we got Bolsheviki started all
right. even II he couldn't understand a
word Of American we talked to him
that is, 1t was all right for while. But
pretty soon We met some old men and
some old danes driving some pigs.
Well, Bolsheviki, he made a dive. broke
the string Sandy was holding to, knock
ed one Of them old danes right on her
ear, kind of pushed one Of them French
pigs about thirty feet and then come
hack for more.
1t was some little battle Of the
Somme. This second wave he spilled
one OF the grandpaps and upset couple
OF porkers and sort OF broke through.
He was just drawing back for a final
charge when us soldiers stepped in and
kind of quieted him down. heavy
army shoe being a great little quieter.
The old men we're for killing Bolshe-
vfk right IN fhA QYOt hut wa R6tt1ed
with the old DANES for bucks-that's e
15 franks.
That's bucks we spent now," Fat
Walters whimpered. For one moro we
could a got one Of them females and
had all that goat milk for our coffee"

ne resigned and afterward became
President of the United States In
1873, when our differences with France
or Lieutenant general was created and
bestowed on Gen. Washington.
In the following year Congress
passed a bill which declared that "a

The bill was "pocketed" by President

Reaction From Militarism.
cided reaction from militarism. The
act OF March 1S. 1902. made provision
only for a single general officer OF
the Army. and that one a brigadier
general. During the second war with
Great Britain numerous general off,
GERS were necessarily appointed, but
none was made to rank above a major
general.
An act Of Congress in 1921 provided
for one major general and two hriga-
dier generals. There was little change
from this until the Mexican war, when
the President was authorized to add
one major general. Zachary Taylor, to
the single incumbent of that rank.
Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott. In 1855 Gen.
Scott was made lieutenant general by
brevet in recognition of his services
in the war with Mexico.
The civil war naturally resulted in
the making of many general officers
Near the close of the war the grade
of lieutenant general, never before
conferred upon any American officer
save Washington, was voted to Gen.
Grant. Two years later, when the
nation had settled down to peace.
Grant was given the full title of gen.
eral That rank he held until he be-
came President. when the title passed
to Gen. William T. Sherman. The title
passed to Gen. Sheridan juno !, 1888,

Importance of fidelity to International

more sacred-any arrangement 1t en-
tered into with the aiiies and Ameri-

It's leaders understand that the moral
and physical strength Of the democra-
cies are pooled and solidified as never
before in history. and no one need
fear that these astute men. even II
they had any desire to act other
wise than in good faith, which l am
sure they have not. would take the

Japan Nation to Do Work.


Japan in the main is the nation to
do this work. She should do 1t by
mandate from the allies. partly for
her own sake and partly for the sake
of the rest Of tho world. which cher
ishes its own forms Of political and
social life. Any reasonable compen-
sation should not be denied to the
Japanese. though. of course. they
should take nothing-and / am sure
they would want to take nothing
at the expense of complete Russian
integrity and independence. l think
they could be trusted. Their national
pride naturally should In no way be
offended.
IF it appeared that they were be-
ing pressed into this great service

object. But II 1t were so arranged
that the Japanese clearly acted In
