1t was the fanciful idea of the Ger
mans that when the people of the
United States began to read the long
casualty lists in the newspapers they
would at once become active opponentsi
of the war and demand that the Unit
ed States withdraw from it. AT least
the German people were fed up on
this idea just as they were assured
that America would not get into the
war, could not get into the war, and
under no circumstances would our
troops be effective in the war. OF
course the effect has been just con-
trary to what the Germans said IT.
would be. The casualty lists have,
made people more determined than
ever to fight this war TO finish. We
all know how 1t makes the soldiers
feel to have their companions shot
down beside them, and in way the
American people feel the same degree
of intense hatred against the German
nation which has caused this imm nse
loss of life and the woundIng and
manning of so many men. The casu-
atty lists are of course q sad thing
for our people, but they have not had
the result that the Germans claimed
for them ever since this government
entered the war.

ances. Lawrence Y. Sherman, whom
many men in Illinois call Larry" has
a way of getting off almost epigram-
matte observations which have re-
ceived the designation sherman
esque." Recently in discussing the fed
eral trade commission he remarked:
at is an incubator for United States
senators and other officers. Many can
didates have been hatched In this
nest" He referred to the fact that
J. Harris of Georgia both became candi-
dates for United States senator. Re-
ferrlng to critics, and more particular
ly those in magazines, and other writ
ers. he said: 1.-The less one has done
of constructive work Of any kind in
private life, the better qualified he Is
to instruct those who have founded
and managed great undertakings"
Speaking Of the city Of Chicago, which
he praised, but which he said gave co.
900 majority against him, he gave ut
terance to this truth about politics:
"We"-he was then referring TO the
downstate section of IllinOis-"always
can figure out in the 35 wards of Chi
cago about how large the majority will
be against any country candidate and
then we simply go out In the country
and get bigger majority, whatever

ters OF the Marquis de Nesle. who be-
came successfully mistresses OF Louis
XIV. of France. She was married at
the age of seventeen to the Marquis
de la T~ournelle. who left her a widow

attached TO the Queen, Louis,
through fear OF dying without the
last sacraments OF the church. was
induced publicly to discard his mis-
tress. He recovered almost imme-
ldiately. and soon repented OF having
humiliated the duchess. Grieved at
the loss OF her, he sought an inter-
view with her. and she consented TO
receive a public apology. The king
sent Maurepas to request her forgive
ness and begged her TO return TO
court. She was never able to resume
her life at court. however, Tor she
died a few days later.

South Dakota youth was found to be the most perfect for mill

so per cent. of the young men examined under the seective service

War Mothers

War Mothers who have united their win-the-war efforts to best
aid their sons in training here and fighting lover there" have been
asked to change the name of their organization to "Victory
Mothers"
A Cleveland (O) man who suggests the change believes CIVIC
tory Mothers will mean more to the boys and the mothers them
selves than War Mothers He forgets that all mothers, even she
who has not been permitted to give a son to her country's cause, are
IeFhiAs.und hoping to be VICTORY mothers. This includes the
young mother with her babe in her arms and the grandmother whose
sons long ago passed Uncle Sans military age line.
Every true and loyal mother in all America is a VICTORY
motherl
It is different when one comes to speak of a 'WAR MOTHER. -
One just naturally thinks of a boy who has left home for service,
and who may never return. One cannot keep from his mind that SER
vice flag in the home window when he thinks of WAR MOTHERS.
Therefore, let us continue thinking of those who give their sons
as WAR MOTHERS, and of all mothers, including those with stars
blue and golden-in their service flags, as VICTORY MOTHERS.
And let us not forget that the sons of WAR MOTHERS have
gone from their side, and for that reason WAR MOTHERS should
have first call upon our sympathy and assistance.

The BrayleSS Mule

A person who has spent any considerable time in Missouri or any
other muleinfested land can fully realize the remarkable victory
achieved by the Portland, Ore, veterinarians who have succeeded in
eliminating the bray from the mule.
If there's anything which will drive a pair of sensitive ears to
long for total deafness it is that bray, loud and prolonged, beyond all
things noisy. 1t is even less to be desired than the mule stubborness.
But now the bray has been conquered. These western horse doe
tors selected the mule with the loudest bray in Oregon, and removed
the cartlagnous wall in his nose in his nose. Several hours after the
effect of the anesthetc passed away the mule attempted to bray, but
without success. The amended noise was like a whisper. The re-
moyal of the wall frustrated all vibrations.
Great is the surgeons knfel Let it but make the nightly
prowing tomcat mute and give our embarrassing neighbors a
erowless rooster and the city sleeper's sumber will be a s undis
turbed as his rural neighbours in the brayless mule territory.

The Price

"America, the melting pot"-much had been written about that
pot, and then the war. And when the war came we found our ad-
mirable pot not so admirable; somehow or other the crucible had
failed to work. Nor was it the fault wholly of the newcomer from
Europe.
Largely it was the fault of those whose fathers had fought to
The pot was here all right, but those who for generations had boosted
themselves Americans had failed to build a fire under it. Instead
Hey had bulded each his own selfish fire. Love of the common
country, the cherishing and developing of the principles and ideals
for which historically America stands, were out of fashion. What
could the newcomer learn of our ideals when we ourselves had for
gotten themY

lacking in America3
This, as in the beginning-A UNIFIED SOULl
The blame is not with you, not with the individual. The blame
is with us; we have not achieved a unified soul. And until we do
achieve a unified soul, the victory will not be ours.
Here, then, is a thing of great price. And like every other thing
It is an indispensable, not only with man, but with God, it must be
fought, no matter how great the cost. America must pay. Easy it
to say this; difficult it is to realize how literal is the sayings truth.
And yet not so difficult. We stand in reverent awe of the morale of
France. Pause and consider the cost France has paid and is paying
for her jewel of great price, her national soul. The world is one. Do
lot fancy there is any special exemption reserved for America. Pay

wholly beyond our old-tme dreams, the worlds melting pot.
