Following eablegram has been received
from Arthur Balfour, chief Of the Brit.
ish o,Ilee, now in the peace conference
at Versailles. His sincere reference to
the governors of the States who have so
heartily given their approval to British
day impels us to telegraph your excel
lency Mr.. Bslfour's message in full that
YOU may have it read in the state on
Saturday, British day.
John A. Stewart, executive chairman,
British day committee, London, Dec. 9.
His maiesty's government are deeply
touched by the information that has
reached them that Il has been officially
decided to celebrate Dec. I as British day
throughout the U. S. A. and they desire
to express TO the governors of the states
of the union and to all those associated
with them their sincere thanks for this
courteous expression of friendship. The
celebration which his maiesty's govern
ment now greatly Acknowledges is a vel
come proof that the same spirit of
friendship with which the American and
British nations have fought and con-
quered side by side in the struggle for
Justice and liberty will continue to unite
them in the coming days Of peace. Strong
in the knowledge of this friendship, the
British people can face with confidence,
all the problems the new era may have
in store.

CURRENT COMMENT.

MEMORIAL DAY, the day Of Amer
ica's soldier dead, has grown with
the sweeping growth of Americas
destiny in this great war. twenty-five
years ago today was the day Of re-
membrance Of the Union soldier. The
Grand army met on the village street,
and the Woman's Relief Corps fell in
behind it; a carriage bountifully laden
with lilacs and roses brought up the
rear and the cortege moved to the
cemetery, where, with prayers and
barred heads the veterans and the peo-
pie strewed the flowers upon graves
which we're marked with little flags
graves Of the men who had given or
offered their lives to the cause of the
American Union. A beautiful and
touching observance, with the germ in
it of the great idea which we have
now embraced. yet limited after all.
Then came the day, 25 years ago,
when the Spanish empire was wiped
of the map. Not that we had any
thing against the Spanish empire; but
on that day an irresistible and I'M
foreseen destiny moved our nation,
and the world with it, on glorious
path, involving far more than we
knew. Then we had new graves to
deeorate-not so many, perhaps, but
graves about which glorious sym
boism clustered. Memorial Day had
ceased to be sectional. 1t had become
national. 1t had taken a long step I
toward world democracy. But see
what new stride it has now taken.
Memorial Day has come again and
today in France the marshal of that
brave nation, and with him representa-
tives not only Of the French republic
can government, but Of Britain and
Italy. standing by many new made
foreign land, and reverently laying
wreaths and palms upon them, with
tears for our dead--tears and emotions
Of Joy as well, for the deed which
these American soldiers performed In
dying was one which has sealed the
unity of the free peoples of the world.
Marshal Joffre, Premier Clemenceau
and the other French leaders who will
participate today in the decoration of
the graves of our soldiers in France
know well that they are celebrating
an event much vaster than the mere
ionoring of the heroic boys themselves
who have gone to the aid of their
cause. They know that they are cele-
,rating the birth of an Old World
-evivified and liberated by the coming
If the New World to their fair fields
devastated by war.

| MAN power is not all that wins
wars. Woman power is a factor
Of prime Importance. II is woman
power that is helping England at this
time to maintain her armies in the
field. Women are doing mems work
there and also in France and in Italy.
The women of Europe have, indeed,
stood as a bulwark against the Hun.
The women of America have not yet
been called upon to do as much, rela-
lively, as their sisters of the other al
organizing and today stand as ire
mendous force for victory. There are,
roughly speaking, 30 million women
in this country, and it is estimated |
that two-thirds of them have been
aligned for some form of war work
under the general direction of the |
National Council of Defense. When
the record of the war is fully written
it will be found that the women of
America have contributed invaluably
toward success. They have strength
ened the fighting spirit of the men
who have gone to war and have sec
onded their efforts at home by sacri-
fees and service. The 20 million
American women-eventually without
doubt to become 30 million through
more perfect organization-form am
army upon which the kaiser and his
generals evidently did not reckon in
their contemplation of the United
States as possible factor in the war.

TALES OF TOWN
JUST TO co HOME

Just to go home when the days work
is over,
Just to go home when the sky's
getting gray,
That's best of all if mans home
just to go home with the laddie to
play;
Just to go home to the wife who is
waiting
What of the cares which are part
or to come
When it brings gladness the tired
heart elating,
Just to go home.
Bright dreams must fade and hopes
buoyant must perish,
No man may live without sorrow
and pain,
Yet if life's one dearest gift we but
cherish
Love brings the hopes and the
dreams back again;
Knowing our dear ones are waiting
to greet US,
Troubles dispense like the bubbles in
foam,
Sorrow and loss of content cannot
cheat us,
When we go home.
What good world is this world which
we live in,
What good life is this life which
we lead!
Weary we grow in the race which we
strive in,
But the reward is repayment indeed
Long is the work day, but sure is the
guerdon
When stars awake in the darkening
dome;
Gladly we live and toll on with the
burden,
Just to 40 home.

the peoples of other countries toward
their national emblems. According
to the papers, group of French sol
diers, those "Blue Devils" who have
been visiting Eastern cities, were the
only ones to salute the flag in patri-
otto parade in New York, of all the
people aligned on the curb, save two
policemen. 1t is stated that the Amer
lean civilians stood motionless. Since
the war started every American has
stood at attention when the national
anthem is rendered. This is an en-
couraging sign of advancement in out
ward expression of patriotism. The
same impulse that now causes men
and women to rise when the strains
Of 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" are
heard should cause them to salute
when the flag appears. The salute
may take the form Of wave of the
hand or the uncovcring of the head,
better the latter. The president of the
United States, when reviewing pro-
session, always salutes the flag, how
ver often it may pass. The citizen
n the ranks should do as much.
