The True American Spirit

Probably no one incident in the
driving back of the German hordes
from France gives more illum-
mating glimpse of the American
spirit, says the Labor Digest, than
the dispatch from General Bundy,
when he received advice FROM the
French officer in command to fall
back. He was in command at
Chateau Thierry and in the first
rush of the Germans his troops
were compelled to temporarily
give ground. The advice came to
retreat, and his reply will be one
Of the gems of American literature
for all time. He replied:
I'VE regret being unable on this
occasion to follow the counsels of
our masters, the French, but the
American Flag has been forced to
retire. This is uncomfortable and
none of our soldiers would under
stand their not being asked to do
whatever is necessary to re-estab-
lish a situation which is humiliating
to US and unacceptable to our
Country's honor. We are going
to counter-attack."
With this spirit the Americans
went through" They regained
their former position and carried
tie line half mile further for
good measure"
This is the spirit which will car.
ry the American troops, in COM
pany with the noble fighters of
France, England, Belgium and
Italy, across the Rhine and to the
doors of the royal palace at Berlin.

There were many that used to
be sayin' they heard the sound OF
a piper playin' 'Modherin Rue
down the Lakes on fine nights
when the waters were still, and
that was the last tune poor Thady
ever played in this world, but
wherever the poor man went to
let us be hopin' he's as happy as
he deserves to be, for Thady Con
nor, by all accounts, was as da-
cint a man as he was the best

but look at the pipes like they we're
bewitched and he was afraid to
touch them.
In the name of God, man,
said Mike Doyle, the bridegroom g
cousin, Is it dhrunk or out of your
mind you are this blessed day that
you're lyin' there like a sick calf
and not getting on to where there's
a days work before if you're able
to do it?'
Poor Thady opened his mouth
once or twice before he could get a
word out of him, then he says,
The pipes, the pipes, 1 wasn't only
dhreamin', he did give them to me. ,
"'Aye. the pipes said Mike,
picking them up. I was lookin'
at them and wonderin' where a
good-for-nothin' like yourself got

'Thady. I tell you, man, as sure
as you're standing there the great
Prince himself gave me them pipes.
may God bless him, even if he is
livin' outside the gates of Paradise
And then and there he up and told
the whole story to Mike Doyle who
all the time kept crossing himself
and looking over his shoulder as if
he expected another visitation to
come up from the lake.
And Thady went to the we'd
din" continued Denny, and the
like of the music he gave that day
and night was never heard before.
And the quare thing about it
was that he never got tired of
playin' and the people he played
for never got tired dancin'. Such
a weddin' as Tim Flaherty's was
never known before in County
Kerry. and it is spoken of there to
this day. Thady kept the pipes
till the day he died and his name
was so great in Ireland that he was
brought all over the country for
his music, and twas soon a rich
man he was, but as fast as he spent
his money and that was fast
enough as usual-he couldn't get
through it. However, one day he
got a cold in his chest and before
the week was out it was in the
churchyard he was lying with a
daisied quilt over him. When the
funeral was over and poor Thady's
friends and relatives began to take
stock of what he left behind their
first word was who would get the
pipes. After threshing the matter
out this way and that it was de-
cided to give them to a cousin of
his, one Billy Connor from Killor-
glin, that had a taste for music:
but bedad, when they went to the
press, where Thady always kept
his treasure, the big green bag was
empty and sight or light of the
pipes was never seen again.

' Books Displayed in Camps

In window next to the entrance
of a large cantonment library, says
Popular Mechanics, the librarian
has arranged set of shelves on
which have been placed a varied
selection of attractive books, the
titles of which passing soldiers can
easily scan without entering the
building. This simple arrange
ment has done much to stimulate
the habit of reading among the
men.
