The French soldier after four years
of suffering and sacrifice has grown
more somber, laughter, more thought
full. He has no longer the light-heart-
ed gallantry of the early encounters,
the ardent eagerness of his first tryst
with glory.
Our heroes, scorched by the breath
of the furnace, have lost the smiling
freshness of these boys, and follow up
their hard task with indomitable reso-
luton, but in sort of logged silence,
with tense muscles and clenched teeth.
Such deep mourning has befallen our
army, that never more shall we know
a victory free from sadness. There
are too many Grape bands on the STAN
dards of all the nations who have
been battling for 1900 days.
But while our enemies must con-
tinue to bear alone on their CALLED
shoulders the weight of suffering and
the WEAKNESS that grows day by day,
it is our consolation to behold the COM
ing of brotherly people to tighten
our burden. It's neutrality-suspicious.
beyond words-are an enthusiasm
with the bloom still on it; virginia.
energy; fresh courage. All this is the
Towering of ideals and visions, where
by miracles are wrought.
An American troop train! 1t is the
youth of the Allies on its way; the
youth which will triumph over the an
Gent powers of evil, because it renews
itself increasingly and yet profits by
the experience of its elders.
An American troop train 1t stands
for science and method, as we'll as SUI
perior material, in the war; the finish
ed weapon which our boys lacked wher
in 1914 they filled these same cars
singing and shouting.
Our sages were wont to say:
Isl Jeunesse Savait."
The marvel today is that this you'll
does know, and because of that, it vii
be invincible.

No Covenanted Peace
With Germany

America, unless we repudiate
civilization and abandon human
ity and put premimum on savag-l
cry and brutality, can make no
covenanted peace, no peace by
agreement or negotiation with Ger
many. 1t would be a covenant with
hell, partnership with infamy.
Nor would such a peace secure
peace, except SO long as it suited
Germany. We can Judge the future
only by the past, and to Germany
sacred treaties are scraps of paper
only. Germany's whole history is
a record of national treachery, ma
tlonal bad faith, national dishonor.
national murder, and national in
fanny.
Article 56 of The Hague Conven-
ton, to which Germany solemnly
subscribed, is: Family honor and
rights, hte | ives of persons and
private property, as well as relig-
ious convictions and practice, must
be respected. Private property can
not be confscated."
The world konws how Germany
has observed this article. There

There is plenty of German evid-

Why did she make such remark?
Well she didn't think she liked her

If it hadn't been that, it would have
been some other excuse. The first,

American to do today is to stick to

Loan workers are only too scarce,
and any man, woman or child who
has ever sold Liberty Bond and has
acquired experience from the previous
loans is an out-and-out Stacker if he
or she doesn't do twice as much w"r!;
20 put across the biggest loan that
ever looJ. ef up over the horizon.
The only valid excuse for not work
ing on the loan is your participation
in work as a trained nurse at the front
as fighter in the trenches, or as a
worker in some other important gov
eminent service that requires your
full time and energy. Of course, we
excuse that young bond salesman who
went from door to door in the first
campaign and is now going from ruin
ed city to ruined city in No Mans
Land-always in the direction of Ber-
lin.
But we put down as Stacker the
man with petty grievance. Enough

AN AMERICAN TROOP
TRAIN IN FRANCE
Translated from L Illustration

The cry resounds through the little
outskirt station. 1t is Sunday ard the
platforms are crowded with Parisians,
drawn to the country by the beauty of
the July day.
The long line of cars glides in, alive
with waving arms and futtering flags,
blooming with flowers and smiles,
echoing with shouts and songs.
We hail these athletic lads, who
lean out of the cars, catching, with
boyish gayety, the bouquets tossed to
them by our young girls. With emo
ton we watch the flow of this abound
ing and ardent vigor, which is at once
our reward for the past and our hope
for the future. .
For weeks these trains of joyous
heroes have followed one another III
ceasingly. Never before had we rea',
lied that the network of our railroads
is the true arterial system of France
Our whole country is quickened by the
tide of this surging blood, whose in,
rush day by day, stimulates our heart
beats.
For before our very eyes the mira
Gle is being wrought, whereby Amer
ica's youth has electrified the war.
1t is boon beyond words that a.
its fifth year begins France shou!,
have again the vision of trains NOV
ing toward the front filled with cage
lads as in the early days of her owl
effort.

HARD CIDER IN SAME

New York Herald)

Hard cider has been officially trans

ticker division by the appellate divi-
sion of the supreme court. The COM
pleteness with which the justices of
that tribunal ripped the mask from the
rural beverage which for years has
been pinch hitting for demon rum in
dicates that at some time they may
have been persuaded to sample farm
ers' delight At any rate, what every
man knows who has ever submerged
in a schooner of hard, unfeeling cider
is that it is one of the most direct
routes to the ground and all points
south.
The court upheld the Judgment of the
court of special sessions in holding
that the indestructibie. chilled steel
brand of cider retailed by Peter Pal
luch of 919 Melrose avenue, the Bronx,
warranted his conviction on the charge
of selling liquor without a license. Pal
luch appealed after sentence had been
suspended He maintained a home for
aged and dangerous cider at the Bronx
address, according to the police. Two
policemen who were sent there last
June to ascertain why so many sets of
Bronx legs practically ceased to func-

they bought two gallons of the high

COULDN'T ENLIST So
MADE WAR GARDEN

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec 9.-Could
Ezra Meeker. the pioneer who has
driven his oX-team back TO the ma
tional capital over the old oregon trail,
have slipped some of his 81 years from
his stopped shoulders, he would have
been a private at least in the great
American army. This being impossible,
however, he harked back TO the days
when men lived by the toll of their
hands, and raised a war garden on
an acre and third of ground east of
Lake Washington.
Just the other day the veteran
walked into the Red Cross rooms and
laid down $25LS0. representing the sum
he had realized from his toll.
1T was a duty, and therefore
pleasure" he said simply. And | do
not think anyone should take credit
for doing what he considers a duty.
Private" Meeker disdained the mod
ern tractor, and even the horse for
cultivating his ground. He waged wal
on the weeds with a hoe. Eight tons
O. fertilizer, donated by packing
firm, enriched the ground. A citizen
paid for the cost of bringing water
TO the land for irrigation. Two Red
Cross women marked the produce At
one end OF the garden appeared this
sign:
This Garden is Dedicated to the
Defenders of Liberty"

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. S.-Plans are
under way for holding a big peace
celebration in this city ard for erect
ing a. memorial to the men OF Phlladel-
pha who gave their services in the
war against Germany. 1t is proposed

the Spanish American war ended.
The memorial may take the form OF
a monument an obelisk or an arch to
be erected on the great new Parkway
the city is now completing.
Mayor Smith in his appeal for funds
with which to build the memorial
SAYS: THE memorial is to commend
rate for all time the bravery of our SOL
diers sailors and marines over sea and
the patriotic self sacrificing, soul in
spring services Of the women of Phila-
delphia.
The suggestion has been made that
the city rename some of its principal
streets for noted military leaders of the
allies forces. Names of PershinS,
! Foch. Joffre, Haig. Allenby and Diaz
have been submitted.
