2.O5%.
ain former wars and even today in
some armies men fight or march or
drill all day and at night have naught
to cheer or comfort but the lonely
campfire or lonlier pup tent. How Of
ten have young boys found their hard
est trials not before the enemy but in
facing that intense consuming desire
to see Mother, his old companions or
some sweet face he has left behind.
Likewise has the father as he found
his only recreation the stern duties OF
war, found his longing for home and
loved ones his greatest suffering.
''The above belongs to the past. To-
day we pledge ourselves to cheer and
comfort those who are giving their all
for our homes. When you think Of the
boys, your boy, your husband, out
there in lonely camp on gloomy
days, with lowering skies and sOdden
earth, or maybe standing in snow or
slush in the trenches, or perhaps
creeping over No Mans land In the
very presence of death, Is there any
thing you can do for him that you
won't do?
Maybe you have no boy or husband
in the army, then your obligation Is
all the greater. II you have not given
of your life, give your dollars
This Is an outright gift, the acid
test Of patriotism. On whatever else
you may differ You ought 10 be q unit
in supporting the boys in tie service
Back them up with sveEy eonfort 4

"After dark the sky cleared and the
wind dropped considerably, enabling
our night bombing machines to
carry out raids on the greater part OF
the front Thirteen tons OF bombs
were dropped on the railways at
Seclin, Menfn, Lille, and Cambria.
'On the night Of July 81 and p
many successful bomb attacks were

INDIGO SINKING
| IS ARGUMENT FOR
COASTWISE CANALS

That the recent sinking OF the ar
mored cruiser San Diego and the loss
of life of a number of American
sailors is another argument for a
system Of inland waterways is the
position taken by Secretary OF Com
merce Redfield in a letter to Con-
gresham J. Hampton Moore.
THE San Diego in the path of
duty was protecting our commerce"
writes Secretary Redfield, but much,
IL not most. Of the commerce she
went into danger TO protect could
have passed in safety through in
land channels II these had been pro-
yided.
THE vessels which were sunk out
side Of Cape Cod could have gone in
security free from all molestation
II the canals opened to their use
had been in the control Of the Gov
eminent and free from tolls.
II hope you will feel that the
present occasion calls on you to urge
anew the vital Importance to the
country and TO humanity of leaving
no stone unturned to get our inland
coastal waterways into use with the
least possible delay"

PLEA FOR "F0OLLEss" DAY
Movement to Abolish Stupid April FlrsE Jokes Surely Would Meet With
 General Approval. '

In connection with the movement for Hess" days 1t Is up to some patriot who has the highest interest of the nation at heart to launch campaign for a foolless first of April.
 Individuals, like automobiles, are not foolproof, and Mir. Absent Minded, who from time immemorial has been @ much-fOoled man on the fatal day. would rise up and call congress bless ed, instead of calling the members thereof names, as he now does, If that body would busy itself with legislation abolIshIng the Aprn-fool jokes that wreck tempers, ruin dispositions ana work havoc generally. "
 On the other hand, Mrs. Absent Minded would probably fight to the last ditch against any curtailment of the privileges of jeering derisively at her husband when he puts salt in his cot' fee, cracks an egg which proves to De onIy q shell. finds the lining of his overcoat sewed up, picks up some stage money on the doorstep and starts to work with box of soap camouhageo as candy in his pocket to munch arter lunch. .l... As a result the sons of dignity will probably have to endure the annual disturbance of their mental equilibrium In order to keep peace In the family.

DYNASTY IN WORLD
Distinction Undoubtedly Belongs to the Reigning House of Japan-Se9an With Emperor Jimmu.

The present Japanese dynasty IS by far the oldest in the world TOT YOshihito claims to be the one nun dred twenty-SecOnd monarch or an unbroken line, dating from the seV- enth century before the Christian era' says the St. Louis POst-DiSpatch. The early history of Nippon, as recorueu in the holy book, Shinto. begins wltn the dynaSticS of the gods and is wholly mythical in nature. The dawn Of real history begins with the reign or Jun. mu TennO, whose memory Is reNereu today by all the sons of Nippon.
 Jimmu the Great forced the savage tribes to accept civil institutions an" extended his benefcent sway over the entire country. He established his capital at Kioto. He formulated code of laws, established courts, encouraged industry. and laid the foundation TOT that marvellous advance made by Ihe Japanese during the nineteenth cen tury.
 The title of mikadO, which means honorable gate" was derived from Jlmmu. From the days of this ruler Japanese power in the Orient increaS' ed. The successors of Jlmmu like the great emperor himself, were wor- shlped as gods upon earth. women were not excluded from the success sion to the throne, and there are many famous expresses in the history or Japan.

AMONG T0MBS OF MONARCHS
Shaft Win Be Erected on Scottish Coast to the Memory of United
 States Soldiers.

Nature has built on several of Scot lands western islands great stone shafts that are viewed with wonder and admiration; man has erected on others many columns and monuments that are renowned In art and history. To mention notable examples, the natural may be seen In the basaltic pillars of Skye and Staffa,. the artistic in the memorials to Scottish, Irish and Norwegian kings in the burytng ground of St. COlumba's isle, Iona. There will shortly appear amid this concOurse of records a monument al- together novel. a new-world monument, by which America will slgnallze the memory of her young soldiers of free dom whom Germanys submarine dew iltry drowned in the adjacent waters. On this knoll a lofty monolIth of i'm perishable granite will be raised in honor. of the brave who went to death undismayed and self-controlled.
 Islay was the chief seat of those fighting chieftains, the lords of the isles, who began in the twelfth century their inCesSant warfare with the Norsemen, and the title of the island princes has descended to the Prince Of Wales. Quiescent past and stirring present seem to meet on this pie turesque island. If the shades. of the old-world kings ever visit the royal tombs at Iona, they need look south but 30 miles to see towering sign Of the making of new-world history.
