gon, just out of high school, but with
almost years experience In mat
ters of warfare and thoroughly vers-
cd in all that the experience of 9th
ers can give him through the medium
Of the manuals. With a confidence
that shows conclusively how well
fitted he is for the responsible posi-
ton that he occupies, he Is carefully
explaining to one of his squad the
correct movements for the execution
of port arms"
lie us take a look at the man who
IS receiving the instruction. He is
slightly larger than his corporal and
also older but in spite Of that fact
lie is giving every attention to the
words of the one who is explaining
the movement to him. He is from
the middle west, for years he has
been employed as stock broker, it
Is business which has been in the
family for years and through it his
father and grandfather had accu-
mulated wealth to which the son
has added materially. Today he Is
drawing the government pay, living
on the rough but strength giving
food and sleeping between the
coarse woolen blankets.
At the command of the corporal
he attempts to assume the position
shown him, but as he throws his
rifle across his body it goes too far
and sends a-wlnding the hat of the
man next to him. Immediately there
is strong language. The number 2"
man is taller but more slender than
his comrade, but appears more wiry,
he is from Oklahoma and has spent
his life in the open, driving cattle,
riding horses and doing odd jobs
about the ranches of his locality. His
look education has been somewhat
neglected, but his experience with hu-
man nature and his instruction from
the university of hard knocks have
given him something that will make
him hold his own wherever he is plac-
ed. His quick, frey temper, how
ever, has been aroused by his COM
RACES carelessness and he is pro-
fanely expressing his opinion when
number quietly stops the argument

FRENCHNAN'S VIEW OF
THE PACIFIC COAST

Today there is special comfort
fer the Frenchman who travels here.
1t is that the west, California, the
Pacific coast, display, for the cause
OF France and her allies, an ardor
Of mind which yields in nothing to
that inflaming the east.
Such is one of the blessings
brought by this appalling war, which
on the fields of battle in France and
Belgium, brings into collision the ir.
reconcilable armies of tyranny and
liberty. Thanks to the human and
humanitarian ideal lowering over the
allied standards, war cements the dl-
verse races, who recognize each other
as brothers, by the feeling, within
them, testifies most highly to civili-
zation.
In France, where she fights glor-
iorsly, and even in her very camps
at home, America, who, from many
aspects, was still mixture of races
not yet completely fused, asserts if
self more and more as a single soul.
Nc other war would have realized
as quickly and as fully a similar
blessing. Verify American patrio-
tism is something new as the contin-
ent on which it is born.
The American is a patriot, not so
much because of the blood flowing
in his veins, nor of the surroundings
in which he has evolved. America is
composed of the influx or diverse ma
tions; her immense territory varies
in multitudinous aspects, as different
Perhaps as the origins of the inhabi,
tants, but from generous motives,
which spring from a soul identical
and eternal Those reasons, those in
stincts, those ideals, which caused
him or his ancestors to migrate to
this marvellous land of regeneration
and recommencement, act also in de-
termining him to fight, when such
principles are mentioned, at home or
abroad.-Jules Bois in the July Sun
set.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1918-07-01

and restores order before the corpor-
al has a chance to "bawl out" either
Of the two participants.
The third man is somewhat stoop-
shouldered, wears glasses and is evi-
dently trifle older than any of the
ether men in the squad. Up until
the draft call came he was the in
structor in the higher branches of
mathematics in one of the foremost
colleges in the middle west. He had
endeavored to obtain commission
by sending in his application for an
officers training camp, but in some
manner the application was lost and
Eefore the next one had gone through
the draft call came for him and he
willingly responded and now drills
in the ranks
The next man has stepped up from
the rear rank and occupies the posi-
ton vacated by the corporal when
he took the place of instructor. His
untanned face and soft hands show
that he has been until recently en-
gagged in some sort of indoor labor
and upon inquiry we find that he has
been serving as a clerk in one of
the largest banks in the northwest.
Very soon he will undoubtedly be
transferred to some department
where his knowledge will be used to
greater advantage in carrying on
the work of handling the enormous
amount of money spent daily by the
government.
AS we go to the rear rank we find
the same condition, clerk in a dry
goods store standing next to a man
who has been laboring as a mechanic
in a garage in one of the eastern
states while the last man is the son
of a plantation owner from the
sunny south.
These men sleep side by side in a
small tent or in their squad room.
They eat at the same table. They
see each other under all conditions,
borrow money from each other, read
each others letters, exchange con-
fidences and live together almost as
a family. They each receive the
same pay, they are dressed exactly
alike, and eat the same food.
Some day, when they have finished
this task to the satisfaction of Uncle
Sam, they are going back to their
civilian occupations, but when the
time comes they are not going to for
get their associations one with an
other and many of the difficulties
which now arise so often because OF
misunderstanding will not afflict
the nation until the next generation
tegins to feel its power.
