TRUE DEMOCRACY
Dollars Are Needod as Exemplifl-

BY GEORGE E. BOWEN
Of the vjoIlAntes.


In the main, 1t cannot be said OF
America that she is without her Amer
leans, or that the faith and service OF
the mass is un-American in spirit.
Dollars do not always go with de-
mocracy, but when informed inspired
and enlisted they can be mighty useful
to 1t.
There has been a mistaken idea In
certain sections of America that dol
lars, according to the number of them,
spelled "aristocracy."
They don't. That Is an imported
idea. And that 1t is perishing In the
land of its origin, witness the war and
the CONSERVATION Of the few aristo-
Gratis, both external and inbred.
There have been, possibly are,
few external aristocrats in America,
who, in a moment of excessive vanity
measured their social Importance by
the size of their material fortunes.
The war erased that absurd notion,
almost with the first blare of the
trumpet.
Millionaire Privates In Ranks.
There are millionaire privates In the
Ahhho VI thC AhCiiSuh Amy anu navy
who have renounced all the prestige
of fortune for the privilege of comrade-
ship.
In the crucial test humanity was
first, last, and all the way between.
Men are more than money. The outer
veneer has been quickly shed. The
man has emerged.
What he thought was his pride, in
days of social and financial triumph,
ne finds was but cheap and trivial
plaything. Now, his real pride Is a
thing of purpose, power and dignity.
Before the war is over, dollars that
hid in aristocratic seclusion or vaunt-
ed themselves in ostentatious power
are going voluntarily and humbly to
join the forces of democracy.
After the war they are going to de-
velop system of popular redistribu-
tion relieving the old congestion whose
fevers broke out in many forms Of lux
-ury and extravaganza Incompatible
with universal contentment.
The only aristocracy America wants
or needs is of the heart and of the
mind.

There was a lot of sound democracy
In the old Neutrality-suspicious. for de-
tense. but not one cent for tribute"
Therein Is the basic principle of re-
sistance Of Prussianism. That prin-
ciple Is drawing all true men together.
1t Is putting service above self. 1t is
asking America to take the gold Of
vanity and pour 1t into the cause Of
humanity.
The spirit of democracy is the only
vital. uncompromising thing in a hu.
man world.
1t laughs at dollars and dynamite
and royal degenerates.
The America annointed Of this spirit
is at last to carry 1t forth to perish

And the despised American dollar
shall. with the courage, generosity
and chivalry Of American manhood, be
the instrument of salvation.

which evidently was intended to sep
arate Americans and French.
London. April 22. The British
troops near Robecq. northwest OF
Bethune, drove out the Germans
from some of their advanced posi-
tions, according to Field Marshal
Haig's statement Aside from artillery
engagements there was little other ac-
tivity along the front Sunday.
Field Marshal Haig found himself
able to take the aggressive on Friday
night and carry out an operation
which deprived the Germans of even
such small gains as they had been
forced to content themselves with
when Thursdays battle was over. BY
this intensive British action the line
as 1t stood before Thursdays German
attack was completely restored.
The British apparently are expecting
some new move by the enemy in the
Arras region, and Friday night British
detachments advanced in a big raid
ing operation on front Of nearly a
mile south Of the Scarpe. near Beau
rains. taking prisoners and capturing
machine guns.
Against this blow the armies Of six
nations are standing together In the
Battle area-British, French. Ameri-
can, Belgian. Italian and Portuguese
divisions-ready not only to repulse
the inevitable. attack, but to strike
back when the proper moment comes.
Apparently the allies have thrown in
only enough Of their reserves TO hold
the Germans, conserving their
strength as far as possible. 1t has been
noted however. that when the neces-
sity Of holding became imperative, the
holding power was there.

All these performers, refusing to

the uncertain returns and ever-present
perils of crookedness. They make
manifest a curious paradox Of cririe.
They are not explained wholly by the
cries of stunted spirit of adventure
and highly temperamental love for
the risks of the game. Perhaps the
law, to meet them effectively, should
hold them to punitive account In
measures proportional less to arbi-
trary degrees of crime than to proved

When war was declared against
Germany, Lieut.-Col. Nash, altho en-
titled by his age to remain at home,
offered his services to the government
in any capacity he could be used. He
has been notified that he will be need
ed in the United States guard, and he
is to report for examination at Fort
Screven next month. Lieut.-Col. Nash
is national guardsman of long ex-
perience; he will make an excellent
officer in the guard. and if the neces-
sity arose could do good work in re-
polling foreign enemy. The United
States guard is to be made up of men
over and under the draft age-all
volunteers, and it will be their duty
to guard roads, bridges, munition
plants, etc.; and repress domestic dis
orders, in order to release men of
draft age for foreign services. 1t will
be a most necessary and honorable
work, and Col. Nash's friends know
he is one of the best men in the Unit
ed States to hold command in that
service.
