OUR ARMY AT CLOSE RANGE.

Otto H. Kahn, a distinguished New
York financier, has recently returned
from a trip to Europe and has writ
ten some impressions of the war sit
uation gained while in England and
on the continent. From his observa-
lions are cleaned the following:
It is touching to observe on every
hand the affection and gratitude of
the French people towards America.
In France, as well IS in England
there is the most warmhea&ed and
admiring recognition of the -dealism
and unselfishness of Americas aims
and attitude and their admiration for
the valor. the fighting capacities and
the conduct of our troops knows no
bounds.
1 cannot find words to express the
depth and intensity of my admiration
for the spirit, the morale and the
achievements of the American army.
Everywhere I found the same simple
and transformations, yet grim and iron
determination to hold life cheap for
the honor and glory and safety of
America; everywhere the same mod
est, sympathetic and soldierly bear
ing. and keen and quick-witted adap-
liability; everywhere the same note of
splendid and eager courage, Of will
ing discipline and service. of uncom-
and dfscomforts, of buoyant good ma
| ture and humor, of clean and kindly
thought and feeling.
There is grateful acknowledgment
| in the army of many things admira bly,
done for the welfare of the men. And
there is universal thankfulness that.
| as far as it Is humanity possible to
prevent it. the home authorities have
not permitted politics to touch the
| army, and that merit IS sought for,
| recognized and rewarded.
| 1 did not hear a single real COM
plant except on one minor score
| and on that the complaint is almost
| animous-namely the stiff collar
and general appropriateness and
discomfort of our army uniform
| which. by the universal verdict of our
| own men and of those of other ma
tions. is both the least wen-appearing
and the least practical of all uniforms
There is also some grumbling about
the dilatoriness in making payment to
Lsoldiers, and about the slowness with
which mail is handled-the latter a
really serious grievance. for prompt
and frequent communications from
and with home is of great impor.
lance to the morale of the army.
I have seen nothing which i'm
pressed me more. and very few things
indeed, which impressed me as much
as the work planned, executed and
administered at the French harbors
at our bases and along our line OF
supplies by that great chief, Genera
Pershing, and the officers whom he
has placed in direct charge. Nor have
I met any wiser or better posted OF
more hard-working men than those
at the head of special departments O.
the army with whom had occasion
to come in contact.

HEART AND BEAUTY

By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am 10
years old and married. My husband
is a soldier. 1 lost my baby several
months ago.
Today a girl that I supposed was
friend Cat least more than an ac-
quaintance) told me that she and al
most every one else who knew me
fought me heartless and almost in

why she explained that 1t was be-
cause / had failed to discuss the sub
| Ject of my baby and was able 10
! laugh and go on with life and never
cried and because apparently l wor-
ried more about my husband than
| my baby.
Do you think that the things she
saws are true? That sensible people
could believe anything of the sort?
/ God knows that / surely wanted the
baby and the suffering 1 went thru
when it was born dead. 1t isn't the
easiest thing in the world to have
| things of that sort turn out wrong.
! Do you think the fact that I fail
| to cry before people and don't .are
to explain my feelings for their bene-
! fit and go on as IL nothing had hap
pened should give them the Impress
| sion that / am "heartless and inhu-
MANI" Perhaps 1 do cry when / am
alone and then again perhaps I don't.
Why should my feelings be dragged
cut and dissected by my friends? Why
shouldn't be anxious about my Iius-
bands welfare? Why should / DO
| judged wrongly because 1 do not cry
| constantly or wear mourning?
| couldn't afford to buy mourning out

Do you think that other people do
hold that opinion or that she lislikes
Ito hurt me? If the latter be the case
she should rest assured that she sue

THE failure of the allied fleet to
capture Constantinople in 1915 is
probably the greatest blunder in his
tory" says Henry Morgenthau, who
was then United States ambassador to
Turkey, in his memoirs published in
Worlds Work. The Germans and the
Turkish officials were certain that the
city would fall. They had all prepa-
rations made for destroying the city
and escaping by special trains. The
collapse of Russia is one result Of the
failure of the fleet to force the OAR
danelles. This is by no means the
first instance in history where vic
tory has been lost after it was won.
