BRAVE SONS OF FAR WEST
Boys Sole Object in Going to War,
Like That Of Others, Is to
"Can the Kaiser" ~

Maj. e. Alexander Powell, in Scrib-
ner's Magazine, says sit has been my
good fortune to have marched with
many armies, but none of them has
given me the thrill Of pride which runs
ND my spine when I see these loose
1imbed, brown-faced, clear-eyed sons
Of the far West go swinging by under
the slanting lines Of steel.
'They are for the most part serious
looking, with a curious set expression
about them which makes you feel that,
though they realize the immense diff
Guilty Of the task for which they are
preparing, they intend to see it fin
ished, no matter how long it may
take. Just as their fathers carried the
frontier Of civilization westward from
the Mississippi, so these, their sons,
are going to push that same frontier
from the Rhine.
'But that isn't the way that they
would put it. Should you ask them
what they are fighting for, they will
say nothing about the liberty of small
peoples or about making the world
safe for democracy. They will assure
you that their sole object in going to
war is to can the kaiser And, upon
thinking 1t over, 1t seems to me that
their answer, though somewhat inele-
gantly phrased, perhaps, expresses the
aaatiments Of all of u.s.

"The Foreign Legion"

The term Foreign legion" is often
used for irregular volunteer corps OF
foreign sympathizers raised by states
at war, often by smaller states fight
ing for independence. The term "The
Foreign Legion" is colloquiaily but In
correctly applied today to the Regi-
ments strangers in the French serv-
ice, which are composed of adventur-
Gus spirits Of all nationalities and
have been employed in many arduous
colonial campaigns. Foreign leglons
were employed by the kings from
medieval times. A number of them
were formed during the Revolution and
under the first empire, Of which one
was maintained till a recent period.
This body, called specially the legion.
made itself famous In Algiers and In
the Crimea.

The Universal Art.

It seems to me that teaching Is the
greatest of the arts, and that every one
of US, no matter what his walk of life
may be, is engaged wiHy-niily for a
good part of his time in teaching. Sure
ly every father and mother is engaged
in it !; and am persuaded that the vast
majority of children address them
selves to the problem of teaching their
parents that the life of their day is
wholly incompatible with the methods
of a generation past. The master who
learns how to handle men is taught by
the men he handles. The senator and
congressman in the throes of their elo-
quence are endeavoring to teach their
honorable colleagues what they take
to be wisdom, and their constituents
they endeavor to tell of their impassion-
ed patriotism. Whenever we endeavor
to persuade anyone to do as we want
him to do, we try to teach him. Teach
.ng is the universal art, and the great
est of them all.-Ellwood Hendrick, in
the Atlantic.

HOLLAND MUST USE
SHIPS OR GO HUNGRY
Refuse to Send Food While
hetherland Vessels Are Idle.

Washington, Sept 21-Holland's
appeal for American supplies to meet
her food shortage, while 100000 tons
of Dutch shipping continue to lie
idle in European ports. is TIE subject
of an official statement issued by the
state department.
This expresses hope that the Meth
erlandS government will follow the eX-
ample of other neutralS and open the
way for general resumption of trade
by lifting the embargo upon the move
ment of her ships.
In effect. the department serves
notice that so long as Holland permits
herself to be inundated by German
threats to destroy ships plying be-
tween neutral ports. there can be no
arrangement for American foodstuffs
similar to those entered into with
Switzerland. Sweden. Norway. Dem
mark and Spain.
The statement diSclOSes that the
Netherlands government never has
awaited itself of the offer of The
United States and the allies to put
1000 ions of bread cereals at the
disposal of the Dutch people, uncon-
ditionally. after the government had
failed to approve tentative general
agreement reached ut London last

SETS OCTOBER z
AS LIBERTY DAY
President Wilson Names Day
to Help the Loan.

Washington, Sept 21-President
Wilson proclaimed Saturday, October
II, the 426th anniversary of the dis
covery of America, as Liberty day.
This date, under the name of Co
lumbus day, is observed as a holiday
by thirty-three states. The proclama-
ton follows:
Every day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose, and
make it clearer what the end must
be and what we must do to achieve
IT. We now know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment We love into existence, because
1t grows clearer and clearer what su-
preme service it is to be Americas
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery of Ameri-
ca must therefore have for us, in this
fateful year, a peculiar and thrilling
significance. We should make it a
day of ardent re-dedicatiOn to the
ideals upon which our government is
founded and by which our present
heroic tasks are inspired.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States, do
appoint Saturday, the twelfth day of
October, 1918, as Liberty day. On that
day 1 request the citizens of every
community of the United States, city,
town and countryside to celebrate the
discovery of our country in order to
stimulate a generous response to the
Fourth Liberty Loan.
Commemorative addresses, pa
geants, harvest home festivals or other
demonstrations should be arranged
for in every neighborhood under the
general direction Of the secretary of
the treasury and the immediate direc-
ton of the Liberty Loan committee in
cooperation with the United StAas
bureau of education and the public
school authorities.
Fourth Liberty Loan cypress the
measure of their devotion 10 the ideals
which have guided the country from
its discovery until now, and of their
determined purpose to defend them
and guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose of participating in
Liberty day celebrations, all employees
of the federal government throughout
the country whose service can be
spared may be excused on Saturday,
the twelfth day of October, for the
entire day
In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
