AMERICANS WILLING TO SERVE.

English and French alike are thrilled by the
spirit shown by the American soldiers, not only
in the actual combat, but in their willingness to
make what is denominated sacrifice" in connee-
ton with the service This so-called sacrifice has
taken the form of submitting to be brigaded with
French and British troops, to take orders from
generals OF other armies and generally to help
out wherever needed While all Americans will
appreciate the kindly comment this conduct has
brought out, they will wonder somewhat that it
should be so.
Our British cousins, especially, seem to mar
vel at the cheerful way in which the American
soldier sinks his national identity and becomes
just part OF the great war machine. In this
they utterly mistake the American mood. 1t is
not that we do not have proper, and in some
ways perhaps an inordinate, national pride, and
that this extends to Our army in all its branches.
But we did not 60 into this war to bring new
g1ories to American arms; our national pride rests
chiefly on other basis than what we have done in
martial way, although the record we have made
in war on land and sea is one to which we con-
hdently refer any opponent as proof of our sim
eerity in that grim business.
What we went to France to do primarily is
to "iick the kaiser" to defeat Prussian nilitar-
ism, and if we help in this work by letting our
boys battle alongside the brave Frenchmen and
the valorous Britons, or in any other way, we are
content. II further sacrifice is necessary to wind
up the bloody but necessary undertaking. we will
make it. Americans are bent on service, not on
establishing their prowess as fighting men, for
that is beyond dispute or denial

THE INFANTRYMAN.

(''Ths artillery oonquers; the infantry ss-
cupies.")
He gets no rides IN parlor carz,
In coaches or sedans,
And yet his work Is Just a. big
AS any other mans;
He wears no winglike badges -
The aviators do.
But yet he's Johnny-on- the-Spnt
Wheneer we're Dustin through,
He has no mathematics such
As Redlegs all must learn:
For engineering plots and graphs.
He's never known to yearn;
Machine guns with their ourleylrsws
Are so much Greek to him
What matterf Though he's short on books
HES long on strength and vim!
The cannonesrs may blast away
And make the Boohe go pronto.
But infantry with bayonets
Will send en- to Toronto,
To Halifax or Timbuotu, !
And send 'em humpin' fast
So tenshuni while the columns Of
The infantry march past!

NEXT YEARS CLOTHES
FOR MEN TO BE EXPENSIVE
Merchants See indications Of Even
Higher Prices

Leading clothing merchants Of the
State have already received indica-
lions of higher. prices for all grades
of mems clothing during the winter
with no assurance as TO when the
prices will be normal again. The
advance in the price Of clothing al
ready apparent to the spring trade
viii be tremendous, according to the
best information and other articles
iof wearing apparel are also expected
to go a-soaring.
Within the last few weeks the ten
dency has been along upward lines
to the wholesale trade and while the
local merchants and clothiers are
doing all IN their power to curb the
prices, they claim that something
must give way somewhere in the
near future. The expected increase
in the price OF clothing during the
next few months will be from 10 to
40 per cent, and only those mer-
chants who have unusually large
stocks on hand at the former cost
prices will be able to withstand the
rise for any length Of time The
cause for the increase, ii is claimed,
is due to the inflated prices for wool,
it being charged that wooigrowers,
not satisfied with an advance IS the
price Of wool from Is cents before
the war to IS and so cents per pound
at present. are boarding for still
higher prices
