England today has a sugar ration
Of two pounds per month per person.

he and his top hat were stranger
than Peruvian Incas to newly ar

Never in their lives had they seen
the like of this infant Sphinx, and
they called softly upon their home

Their Salute
Was So Different

Their faces we're all clean-shayen,
their voices startlingly low-pitched,
and the next most noticeable thing
was their salute, which is wholly
different from any in our varie-
gated repertoire.
A wounded private picked out
couple Of young officers and extend
ed to them the full, true and very
particular salute Of His Majestys
Brigade Of Guards. So does a pro-
fessor emeritus greet beginner in
the schools. Both officers returned
it together, each glancing sideways
to see if the other was correct. Fiji
teen seconds later another wounded
private put them through it again.
A major of the regular army with
whom I had foregathered smiled.
SYour men do it on purpose" said
he.
wouldn't you, if you had the
chance? It does our boys a lot Of
good"
The youngsters removed them
selves. An American military po-
hceman straight out Of "Life"),
twirling his locustwood club Of Of
fee, strolled across the street to
confer with the English policeman
straight out of "Punch''). A rife
man looked at them.
"Gawd's truth" said he from his
appYeciative soul. And Gods truth
indeed it was, as much as the young
W. A. A. c. driving the elderly U.
s. colonel in a car, and honking be-
hind an Air Service lorry, who In
turn was honking to warn an Amer
lean squad coming back from a
promenade that she meant to turn
in front of them. The English po-
liceman raised his hand, the subal-
tern halted his men. One could feel
his embarrassment when the smooth
faced English houses all of a row
echoed the uncertainty pitched word
Of command.
Suppose the
Tables Turned
But suppose you had been
snatched from, say, the suburbs OF
Coventry, and after three weeks
turned down at a place called Nor
rlstown, New Jersey, with orders to
take your platoon, which till then
had never seen traffic pass to the
night, from the railway station to
the golf club. Would your voice be
at its most professional the first
time? "Thafs doing 'em good, too,"
vas the majors comment.
A fellow officer at his elbow
groaned:
Whats the American for three
pence halfpenny? I've been buy

British currency is like our uniform

The wound stripes impressed
them, too. They judged it bad bust

And, slowly or swiftly, each out

their early hatred Of England, and
nearly all of them will tell you it
was from Irish nurse, servant, hired
man or friend. So with these.
But now the wheel has come full
circle. England, stripped for the
dear life and too busy to know or
care, is laid open to them from end
to end as she was and is to our own
dominions.
Meantime Ireland, for reasons
sufficient to herself-her sons will
have to restate them for generation
after generation to every race and

calls herself the beautiful names
and strikes the beautiful poses, is
