BRITISH VIEW OF THE FOURTH


Up to the outbreak of the war the
Fourth of July has served to remind
US that we lickei the British and pa
triotic orators have taken advantage of
the occasion TO twist the lions tail.
Probably no better illustration of how
times have changed can be found than
that contained in an article by Lord
Northcliffe. entitled 'Britain's Fourth
Of July Message published in The
American Boy.
Great Britain" says Lord North
cliffe, sends greetings and gives the
warm handclasp of fellowship and
blood ties TO each of Americas mil
lions Of boys on their own great day
of the year, the Fourth of July. I feel
I can say this for my fellow country
men. The Fourth is especially the
American boys great anniversary be-
cause it reminds him of two things
that ought never to be forgotten: the
bravery of his ancestors who fought
for justice and equality and independ-
ence. and his own part in Carrying
on the results of their achievements.
1t is for you to uphold and
maintain the liberties your forbears
won
And then Lord Northcliffe explains
what is involved in the present war
and cells boys exactly what they car.
and should do to help. and concludes:
Let this Fourth of July have a new
significance to you-let it mean more
than ever before. Let it impress on
you that the American boy and the
British boy will stand ogether for all
time IN a common bond-as 'chums'
and taithnI companions against the
| foes of right and liberty"
Continuing Lord Northcliffe writes:
Your July Fourth has. for a hun
dred and forty years, been a symbol OF
| your national independence. 1t is no
| longer a celebration marked by fire
crackers and fires and accidents. be-
cause you have set those things aside
| for a more sane observance of the
eternal principles for which your
great grandfathers fought. One hun
| dred and forty years ago your ances-
| tors proclaimed dissent from the
mother country-democracy did not
role there then as 1t does now-and
| the bitterness of your struggle for in
| dependence held apart our two great
nations for many years. But today q
! great friendship, long growing, is CO.
| mented by the bonds OF mutual under
| standing and real trust. We are allies
in race, in language. IN commercial in
terests. Even greater than all these
we are allies in the great principles OF
| free peoples joined in a common cause
to make the world safe for democ-
racy. which means making the world
a place where you AID your children
and your ch:ldren's children may live
! in safety and freedom under just law:
| made for the common welfare-not the
ancient, brutal law of rule of force ana
| despotism and militarism as repre-
scented by the German idea of Prus.
sian domination by the dripping
| sword.

REPORTS from the front show that
the negro troops of the United States
have been under fire and have ac-
quilted themselves in a creditable
manner as they always have done in
battle. The circumstances recall
memories Of the Civil war when the
dispatches regularly announced that
the colored troops fought nobly." A
little more than IA per cent of the
men registered for the draft are ne
groes-7S7,626 out of the total of
s,5s6,5OS. Out of the 2oS.953 negroes
called by the boards 1887 were GER
titled for service or 1928 per cent;
and whites only 24-75 per cent.

SUBSTITUTE FOR WHEAT

There has long been cultivated on the west coast of South America a plant called 'fquinoa," which botanists and cereal experts believe may prove an excellent substitute for wheat, in fact preferable to the substitutes now in use. says the November Popular Mechanics Magazine. This plant, now attracting particular attention because of the shortage of foodstuffs, has been cultivated in South America, in more or less primitive fashion, since pre- Inca days. The department of agricul- ture has imported several lots of quinoa seed and seed of related species, and is making experiments with it in the hope of finding suitable soil and climate in this country for it's cultiva- ton.

WHILE UNDER FIRE. PHOENIX WOMAN
 FRIES DOUCHVUTS

Working under fire in the open Mrs. Edith Knowles of this city is frying doughnuts for the victorious Ameri- can troops. Mentioned in the dis patches for her bravery, Mrs. Knowles is one of the three women in the United States whose courage called for special notice in a cable received at the United War Workers campaign headquarters in New York yesterday.
 Unmindful of their own danger, Mrs. Knowles, Mrs. Mary Bray of Paw tuckett and Mrs. Mary Holiday Of Indianapolis, are frying 10000 dough- nuts a day for Uncle Sam's men in battle.
 Mrs. Knowles was one of the first American women to be sent overseas for the Y NJ. c. A. Her canteen work has sent her practically all over France. but she much prefers to pe near the front lines where she can be of greatest cheer to the men who are giving themselves that the world might be safe for democracy This is the sentiment she has expressed in let ters to Phoenix friends to whom she made known her desire to work on the firing line Doing what is worth
 
 that the worth while at present is to give comfort and cheer to the soldiers.
 The young woman who is frying doughnuts for privates was for many years an intimate friend of the Queen of Rumania- Much travelled, Mrs. Knowles numbers friends in every section of the globe. Her knowledge of Europe, her ability as a lnguist and, above all. her personality com bined to win her an overseas appoint ment shortly after she made her ap- plication when America entered the war.
 Busy every moment of the day, many letters which she has written from France have been written in the early morning hours. She has had wonderful experiences abroad. The guest of the queen on more than one occasion, she has lived in filthy huts which she has set about to make more habitable. In not one of her letters has there been complaining note for she takes it all as a part of the war game which she is there to play.
