Anyone who is familiar with the rear-guard ac-

the Marine Misunderstanding actions in which the
brave men involved although vastly outnumbered
by the army Germany had been getting ready for
years, were practically called upon to sacrifice
themselves that Joffre could have time to fully
prepare for his wonderful and successful blow

Usher, from general to private, did the full meas
ure of his duty to his country and to civilization,
and that thousands of them paid for that duty
with their blood or with their lives
Inspired by such experiences it is no wonder
that General White is bit impatient with the
Britisher Canadian who has been under the
protection Of the British flag for years who has
enjoyed the liberty and the various advantages

One odd phase of the situation and one that
causes some confusion is the different age period
of the draft In the United States. Great Britain

between twenty-one and thirty-One- Still another
odd phase is the first papers proposition. The
United States draft authorities claim every Brit

as British subjects by the British government and

of Brig. Gen. w A. White, c. NJ. Co. to draft every
Br1tfsher and Canadian residing In the United
States, and the United States to draft every one
of its citizens who lives in Great Britain or
Canada.
This is very important matter, particularly
for the Britishers and Canadians, because there
are at least 100000 of them over whom Old Glory
waves, and the names and addresses of at least
17o,OOO OF them are known to General White and
his staff because they have been taken from the
draft records of the United States Many of
these are coming forward every day of their own
accord but the recruiting mission wants every

When Brigadier General White asks man to
fight he doesn't ask him to do any more than he
has done himself. He is officer in the regular

himself in getting into the fray is shown by the
