want to ask for me-" said Sullivan,
in his most condescending tone
and that was over. The Prince
had met one democrat from
America.
Sullivan believed In himself. He
believed that he was the greatest
I fighting man that ever lived-and
he probably was the best, since the
days of Duguesclin. II he had lived
then he would have ridden in
Rrmor over regiments at the battle
of Pavia, and little boys would be
taught now all that he did.
When he fought thirty-nine
rounds with bare fists in France
he simply raced around the ring
after MITCHELL fine athlete and
of great courage, but too wise to
let Sullivan get near.
At that time Sullivan had
broken one wrist which was badly
set and weak. In the fight he burst
a blood vessel in his arm.
Trained in France, where he
could not speak or give secret
orders about private supplies Of
ale, he trained literally on water
and it did not suit him. 1.-TWO
things" he said, don't agree
with me-water and whiskey."
The Washington times., 1918-02-03

Sullivan's father was a tiny
Irishman, one-third his sons size.
Sullivan introduced him with a
reverent formula OF his own,
Shake hands with my father. He
don't look it. does he?" From a
powerful mother he inherited his
power-and it was as much men
tai as physical.
lie BELIEVED that he vas
uncomfortable. made others be
lieve it. and he WAS unconquer-
able. When he was beaten at last
by whiskey-he knew what had
conquered him, and admitted it.

GARDEN FOR EVERY
FAMILY IS NEW
D. c. WAR SLOGAN

A garden for every family in the
District Is the slogan today OF the
garden committee OF the District
Council OF Defense.
II is up to every locality TO produce
as much food as possible this year.
Indications are that labor will be
scarce and machinery high in price.
Fertilizer and seed supplies are linn
tied. and terminal, market and deliv-
cry facilities ara entirely inadequate,
declares the committee.
The people OF Washington are in
with Hoover and are going to con-
tinue 70 save wheat. meat. pork, fats
and sugar, and they can do this most
economically by producing vegetables
in their back yards and on vacant lots,
IL is believed.
Worked In Spare Tfne.
Such q garden can be worked in the
spare time by members OF the family.
With a garden properly planned and
conducted a family may have fresh
vegetables during the coming sum-
mor. fall and even next winter, are
the words OF advice from the commit
tee to the people OF Washington.
To do efficient work this year the
committee will need about $4,000,
part OF which has been contributed.
War garden clubs are being organized
in all sections Of the city as a patri-
otto duty and community work.
The committee has called for funds.
and every Washingtonisn is appealed
TO by Cuno Rudolph. treasurer OF the
committee. with Offices at 61S Union
Trust building.

on Personally we feel that there Is
just as much feasoh for opposing
Phillips as there Is for opposing Con-
gresham Browne, but the Republican
party have nominated them for their
respective positions and we have them
at the head of our editorial column as
good Republicans selected by our

spect whether we personally are sat
isfied with the selections on the tick
ct or not We doubt whether the ac-
ton on the part of the Republicans
who took part in the above confer
ence will result in the defeat of Con-
gresham Browne. The results of
the primary is pretty strong evidence
of the fact that he will win. Major

HERE'S WHAT AMERICANS DID
IN ST. MTHIEL DRIVE

The significance of the American
army's success in the st. Mihiel drive
is outlined by Frank H. Simonds, au-
thority on military affairs, as follows:
l. More Americans fought side by
side in this battle than in any other
battle in our history.
2. More men were engaged on both
sides than in any battle in which an
American army under an American
general ever fought.
3. A larger uninterrupted advance
was made in one day in this battle
than in any one day of the four years
of war on the west front.
4 More prisoners were taken than
in any "a hours of the war on the
French front.
5. A larger area Of French terri
tory was liberated than in any equal
period since the lines stabilized in
1914.
an our own national history, as in
world history, the battle of st. Mihiel
he says twill have an enduring place.
To the world it announced the arrival
of America in her appointed place in
the battle line of civilization; to A
mericans it means a reassertion of
the fundamental unity and solidarity
of American people"

Peterson to Defense

Principal excitement at the meet
ing was contributed by P. n. Peterson
of Amherst who after sitting rest
lessly under the criticisms of K. +.
Browne, arose to his feet and made
red hot speech in defense of the
congressman.
He said in part:
II came here expecting to attend
loyalty meeting, and I have arrived at
| the conclusion that | am in a demo
cratic meeting. I don't believe there
is a single republican here except
myself, unless it is Mr.. Crane"
Here the speaker was interrupted
by cries of Il am republican" 81
am a republican," coming from all
parts of the room. Mr.. Brazeau said
that he not only had been a republi-
can all his life, and had represented
his district in the state as a republi-
can, but ''had campaigned with Ed.
Browne two years ago"
Mr.. Peterson insisted that he had
the floor and continued his talk, but
he was interrupted at almost every
sentence with protests.
Backing up Wilson
"If there are republicans here" he
said, why don't you arise and declare
yourselves? whoever heard Of a
member of the grand old party being
afraid? Up in Mr.. Sturtevant'

mostly socialists and voted for Berger
Would Republicans do that? No

We take pleasure in reproducing
part of a letter written by NJ L. Carey
to his mother recently. 1t follows:
In France, Otis.
Dear Mother:-Your letter was re-
ceived couple of days ago, having
been forwarded to me from camp.
We haven't had very much mail here
yet probably because everybody stop
ped writing TO US as soon as We left
and didn't answer their letters, but
then | suppose we will soon be get
ting plenty of it again We don't
have as much chance to write as we
did when we were in camp in the
States because we don't have as much
time, things are not quite as con-
venient and then we have the Censor
to think of. That is our big jinx. the
Censor, for he won't let US write a
lot of things that we would like to and
f we do write too much our letters
look like they had gotten into a train
wreck or something like that before
hey reach their destination.
Well, we are somewhat settled, tho
We are not yet at our permanent place
and in fact l don't know that we will
nave any regular stopping place, but
What | mean is that We are still some
distance from the front, don't know
lust when we will move up but | hope
it will be soon. We have been bill
Ieted in some Of these quaint little
French villages and have a very pleas
ant place. The country around here
S beautiful and to see the grain in
the fields, the fruit trees, and all that
goes to make France such a beauti-
full country, one would never think
that somewhere not so very far over
the next hill there is terrible war
going on. All that we have to re
mind US of the fact is soldiers, army
5upplies and the few Hospital trains
that go thru our village.
Our trip over was very pleasant
and even though it was my first trip
on the ocean or in fact, on any large
body of water, ! didn't mind it a bit.
The only objection l had was that
here was so much water to look at,
but at that it didn't make me sick.
!
/ have succeeded in landing a cler-
zeal job in our company's Truck
Headquarters and | feel right at home
at the job. Of course our office is not
quite as elaborate as the one at Ne
lloosa but it isn't bad place to work
at all. We have a nice big tent and
use boxes for furniture and we man
age to make something do for what
ever piece of office equipment we hap
pen to need and get along pretty well
so with a good job, plenty to eat and
a good place to sleep besides which
| have a chance to see some of the
world, there is not a thing to make
life unpleasant and | can say that |
really enjoy my experiences.
Well, there isn't very much that
eellow can say in a letter from here
so I guess I'll have to put an end to
this. l surely will have lot to talk
bout when I get home though, for
[ have seen many interesting things
and am seeing more every day.
