Lord Derby-it matters not whether the hat or the
family came first-is an English noble.
The world is not overcrowded with gentlemen, so the
presence of noblemen is even more negligible.
Lord Derby measures up as one of natures noblemen.
His title contributes nothing to him-he gives to the no
mencature its dignity and worth.
July 4h mlord rose to his fullest mental stature. II
was In London, at a luncheon of the American Chamber of
Commerce.
He said. II wish to thank America for the best licking
we ever got. 1t has done us both a lot of good. We are
grateful to you because that licking taught US how to treat
our children. 1t is the reason why we now have Australia
and Canada and even South Africa fighting beside us
today"
Imagine a Brton broad enough to think and feel that
way and not hesitate to speak his thought and express his
feeling
There are many like him. but it was left to Lord Derby
to be their mouthpiece.
England, with that angle on matters, will knock down

Bread Cast Upon Waters

There were times before the world war when the eyes
Of native American citizens were somewhat blinded to the
advantages of democracy and the virtues of a cosmopolitan
citizenship.
In theory-and in oratory-we heartily Endorsed the
principle which made America the Melting Pot" of the
tries, and our government men and women of infinitely
varied creeds and colors-and but one ideal-our own ideal
of freedom, for all, forever.
In theory-and in the sincerity of our secret hearts
we welcomed all men. but in practice we were not always
80 cordial and appreciative in our manner toward these vol
untary Americans.
Most of us were slightly annoyed by their superficial
differences of dress, language. and manner, or by their ma
terial prosperity and amazingly large families, or by their
poverty and the social and economic problems their very
existence created for us.
We jostled them a bit when they got in our ccnquering
way, or when we could not josue we addressed them and
leased them by inventing for them half dersive names
wops, guineas, hikes. bohunks, greasers, hunkies, and a
score of other tags designed to emphasize and remind them
Of their difference from ourselves. 1t is so long since our
first families" were immigrants, too!
Here in America we have sometimes regarded the
political and religious liberty. the free education. and the
citizens as "bread cast upon the waters" We were secret
" dubious about its successful return-but nevertheless we
cast it forth, praying over 1t. laughing a httle-and won
dering much.
And after many days! Then came the war. The
bread of freedom which this nation cast upon the waters
the waves and waves of foreign immigration-is returned
to US a thousand fold. The casualty lists tell the story
the last story of men born in all the lands of the earth, men
who died for but one-our own and their own America.
One reason tchy the colored soldiers now in France
scdnt to hurry up and trhip the Germans and get back
home IS that there are no tcdter7meLons in Frdnce.-Co-
