'Tf any American can't whip three

This Is the way the marines regard
the Germans, according to a letter
received from Eugene Abbot. who got
his training at Quantico. Va, and
went overseas with the first detach-
ment to leave the camp.
Abbot was wounded in action in
the recent drive In the Chateau
Thierry sector. but was soon able to
go back on the hiring line.
The towards quit like dogs when
they see they are whipped" young
Abbot writes. I'VE went knocking
on Fritzies and taking prisoners As
we went. but the Germans kept yell
ing, Kamarad, kamarad.' Some OF
them got away with It while others
got the cold steel"
The letter. In part, follows:
I'VE received orders to take q GER
in a valley and we had to go through
wheat rye. and clover fields. and so
we had no protection. We were soon
met by q hail OF machine gun bull
let's, but we kept advancing q hun
dred to ave hundred yards at q time,
and then down on our stomachs we
would go 50 as to rest a little.
when we were within a thousand
yards OF the enemy they let US have
q taste OF trench mortar. shrapnel
and one-pounders. Well we took the
town and many prisoners and guns.
I'VE took the town and our objec-
tive and held IL against 4 greater
number when they tried to counter
attack. We sure did whip them. and
since it's all over 1t seems like a

General Pershing. Announcement was
made yesterday that two officers, four

young man was member of work

which was we'll out in front of an ad-

violent barrage of the enemy, which
protected the enemy's assault troops.
SandersOn helped fight off the German
troops and twice walked back and
forth under the enemy's and our own
barrage to collect his men. When he
heard his lieutenant was in trouble he
walked again to his rescue where the
barrage had overtaken him.

ANOTHER OF THE BIG CHANGES

That old fossil hoary coated chest
nut. as so glibly spouted by the stand
patters Of trade follows the flag" is
getting more hard bumps, for even
some Ct the financial press that were
most vociferous in proclaiming it are
now denouncing It. The Wall Street
Journal says: American business
men, now that they are face to face
again with European competition.
would like TO put an end to the slogan
still sponsored at times in congress
that the dollar follows the flag. The
export trade Of America, it is pointed
out by business men. is going to fol-
low the freight rate and nothing else"
There is another thing upon which
they have had a very great change
of opinion. Most of them never fav-
Ored the parcels post and some fierce
| ly fought 1t. 1t Is now very evident
from many recent articles that have
appeared that they are going to ask
a great increase in that service. They
are pointing out that several European
governments accept parcels weighing
100 pounds, and that gives the trad,
ers in those countries a very grea
advantage over those in the United
States. for by little advertising they
can sell enormous amounts of good
in countries where they haye N,
agents. There has been grea
change in views since the old stand
pat doctrines were discarded by tn,

AND HATESNiAN-
SHIP.

There is going to be a very sharp
line drawn at the coming peace con-
ference between hatesmen and states
men. The hatesmen are going to
stand for an eye for an eye and
tooth for a tooth. and the statesmen
are going to combat that principle of
primitive justice. There is too much
hatesme menship and too little states
made something of a cult of hate.
One of them wrote THE Hymn of
Hate" Hate was their undoing. 1t
will be our undoing II we are not
careful. as it can easily be the un-
doing of all the allies. Hate is ignor-
ance. A hard hater is always an ig-
norant person. A man or a woman
who hates people is hated in return.
He or she leads a hateful life. IL
takes intelligence to realize how Bit
ter are the fruits of hate. War is the
biggest of all it's fruits. That is what
has been the matter with the Balkan
states. They have hated one another.
There has not been any statesmanship
in the Balkans in SO years, 1t was all
hatesmanship. Every man who hates
knows that to be an imperfection in
himself. as indeed all hate reflects
best our own imperfections. A wise
man is without hate. He knows it to
be futile. HE is-a very good hater,"
said Samuel johnson. by which sign
we know exactly what sort of man
he was. Let us be sure that a man
Of MIR. Wilson's caliber is not going
to encourage craftsmanship at the
peace conference. The hope of the
world now is craftsmanship. and we
wish there were going to be more
people there like him.
