FACING DEATH BRAVELY

The English newspapers are loud
in their praise of the bravery and
composure showed by the American
soldiers on the Tuscania after that
transport had been torpedoed. But
for that composure the loss would
have been very much heavier, and it
is noted that the soldiers lined up on
the deck of the sinking liner and sang
the national anthem while they wait
ed for permission to go aboard the
life boats
Soldiers almost always meet death
bravely at sea, despite the fact that
the element of shipwreck is one they
are not often trained to face. Most
people have probably forgotten about
it, but one of the finest pieces of her
oism that the English nation cher
ished before this war came to drive
all traditions of bravery into the past
related to the sinking of the Royal
George in the East Indian waters con.
siderably more than century ago
The soldiers all stood in perfect or
der on the deck as the ship went
down, and the Colonel commanding
gravely saluted them as the water
closed over the wreck.
1t might be said as an explanation
of the bravery shown on the Tuscania
that the soldiers were well prepared
for such a possibility when they went
aboard, but we remember how calmly
the men and women of the lost Ii
tanic, who certainly had had no pre-
monition of that disaster, faced their
doom, and we reach the conclusion
that a very large majority of people
are brave, Bravery is, indeed the
most common of virtues, and yet, by
curious paradox, it is the most adj
mired. Louisville Post.
Men of action, who have the knack
and taste for affairs, even in their

THE KAISER SPEAKS

In his latest speech at Hamburg
the Kaiser of Germany, although as
arrogant as ever when it comes to ag-
gressions upon other nations, showed
personal humility that is somewhat
surprising. Not only does he admit
that God is his equal and ally, but he
refers to the great Hindenburg," and
intimates that the German people
must rely upon the general command
ing upon the field almost as much as
upon the Kaiser himself,
This is a decided change. In his
early manhood the Kaiser showed
again and again a jealousy of the mil
itary reputation of Won Moltke, the
commander of the German armies in
the war with France of 1870. Grand
pa did it," was the position taken by
the Kaiser and he tried very hard
to give the worthy but somewhat dull
old monarch who ruled in 1870 the
title of William the Great, but his
tory refused to accept the title, At
any rate, the Kaiser through the
greater part of his life constantly
took the position that, when Hohen
zolern Prince went to war, the cred
it for victory must be assigned to the
Prince and not to the general under
him.
It is. therefore, a change in atti
tude when the Kaiser points to Hin
denburg as the man who will win vic

TRUE FRIENDSHIP A MIRROR
In group No. 2.

True friendship is self-love at sec
cri hand; where as in a fattering
mirror, we may see our virtues mag
Eifed and our errors softened and
where we may fancy our opinion of
ourselves confirmed by an impartial
and faithful witness. He (of all the
world creeps the closest in our hos,
ems, into our favor and esteem, who
thinks of us most nearly as we do
ourselves. Such a one is indeed the
pattern Of a friend, another self
and our gratitude for the blessing IS
as sincere as it is hollow in most 9th
er cases. This is one reason why en-
tire friendship is scarcely to be found
except in love.-Hazlitt.

During the past week shipment
OF potatoes reached Jacksonville in
ventilated cars, with contents
improperly loaded, the first tier Of
barrels being on their sides instead of
standing up. In loading barrels the
first tier should be slowed on end
and compactly cover the entire floor
space The second tier can be slowed
on the bilge, or else on the end. Ii
slowed on the bilge, barrels should be
placed lengthwise, parallel to the
sides of the car. If there are not
enough barrels to occupy the full
space, there should be bracing to
prevent the barrels from being tum-
bled about by the movement or jar
