Lafayete is inSeparately associated in
 the mind of young France with the
 United States and all it stands for. George Washington wasn't mentioned.
 According to the juvenile French version, Lafayette saved America. This was the most glorious achieve ment in the history of the world. Sin gle handed and alone Lafayette s0wed the seeds of liberty in the United States that has spread from the Alt lantic 10 the Pacific and fired the souls of hundred million people When the American colonies were in death struggle with the Hanoverian monster on the throne of England the Hoheu- zollerns and Hessians and Htndenburg CTS and all the H'S representing Hell on Earth in that day and generation Lafayette crossed inc ocean on a slow sailing ship-so slow, so slow for so swift sOul-and saved America. And now, after 140 years, the hosts of America, a million strong, are return ing that historic visit for the purpose of repaying the debt of gratitude.
 To say that the audience followed the speaker would he understating the case. They all seemed familiar with the speech, and their applause ire quently anticipated its climaxes. Good feeling was rampant We shook hands with all the youngsters within reach. and as we turned the corner we looked back, and they gave us a final "Vive [ rAmerique :"

Youthful French Orator Seemed to Think Lafayette Was
 Really the Father of This Country.
By DR. ESTHER LOVEJOY.

What is the attitude of the French people toward the Americans? The French are a very polite people, and, no matter what their inmOst thoughts may be, they are not likely 10 express an opinion to an American other than complimentary. But the children of all the world are guileless They can be depended upon to express in public
 the private opinions of their parents
 The children of France are crazy about Americans in uniform, so we guess what their parents feel for us.
 On one occasion was passing a pub lie school with another Red Cross wo- man physician in uniform and French visiting nurse. The school had just been dismissed and a group of young boys came trooping out. h. stantly we were surrounded. and after seconds barley a young Mirabeau of about twelve years, the spokesman of the group, stepped forward. bowed formally and delivered an address on Lafayette and America, which was punetuated by the applause of his ad- hiring c0mpatriots The American Eaglet could not possibly have scream cd louder in the United States on the Fourth of July than 1t did on that back street of munition town in France.
 Washington Not Mentioned.
 There seems to be some difference of opinion on the relative importance of certain historic characters connect ed with the American Revolution.

CONGRESS- SHOULD "CAN THE TALK" AND PLAY BALL

The constitution vouchsafes to each member of congress ONLY THE RIGHT to express his will by cast ing his vote. Discussion which de- lays action by congress is not the exercise of any right recognized by the constitution, but merely the abuse of a privilege granted by con gross itself.
 The inefficiency and delays of con- eress for the past year have been grater comfort to the kaiser than the combined activities of all his agents and spies in America. Individual congressman may not be culpable, out all are jointly responsible for the conditions which exist in that body the rules of procedure MUST be changed so that congress may enact necessary laws when they are need ed and repeai bad ones promptly

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
More power to the pen OF "A Gov
eminent Worker" who writes in to-
days Times so earnestly in complaint
of the service of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company. God
knows the suffering public needs
some one to speak for it. The news
papers seem unwilling to devote more
10 the cause than the space for anna
teur editors to discuss il. Perhaps
editors are like trolley company pres
idents. who. riding always in COM
Portable automobiles, have very little
genuine sympathy for those of us
who must use the cars.
II was the lack OF sand on the
tracks that was responsible for the
smash-up at 6 street and Connecticut

they would also, in all probability,
cut out most of their other faults.
There is little doubt that to the
drinking can be traced at least the
irritability and the growing tend
ency to delay in business matters.
Perhaps to it can also be traced
the selfshnss and the extrava-
gance. One thing is certain. The
young man with such a list will
find himself a very different man
in 1918 if from New Years Day
he "swears off" and keeps his
pledge.
One Fault Often
Explains Many Others.
Others of us, with long and de-
pressing lists of faults. may make
a similar discovery. Heading our
list, or modestly lurking at the foot
of it, may be one fault which ex-
plains many of the rest. Eliminate
that fault, and an astonishing i'm
provement is evident all along the
line.
A girl who is at heart sound and
fine may be so quick-tempered
that she makes all around her I'M
happy-even those she loves the
most. And many other faults lie
in the train of quick-temper. A
boy may be so thoughtless that he
seems supremacy selfish-and sell
fishness is the father of a whole
brood of faults.
A really devoted husband and
father may be so absorbed in bust
ness that he gives nothing of him
self to his fmily. Unconsciously
selfish mothers may be draining
the lives of their children; thought
less children may be making
martyrs of their parents.

successful young men | know are

mite self-improvement during 1918,
and then to keep that promise.
One reason for the frequent
failure to keep to our resolutions
is that most of US attempt too
much. Sadly conscious, as we are,
that not one thing but many must
be changed in US, we attempt a
radical making over. We promise
ourselves the impossible. When
we fail to achieve it, we become
discouraged and accomplish moth
ing at all.
The thing for all of US to do,
]. F. c., is TO attempt less and &C
complish more. On the last day of
the old year each fellow in your
club land anyone else who wishes
to start the New Year welD,
should write out a list of his
faults. An average list might run
like this:
81 am quick tempered.
81 am impatient and irritable at
home.
81 am not lazy, but in business /
have a tendency to postpone &C
tion, and this tendency is growing.
81 am extravagant: it seems i'm
possible for me to save money.
81 am selfish: | do very little for
others.
81 have some bad habits-drink-
ing among them"
At first glance, this seems a
rather bad list, but it is merely an
average one. Hundreds of young
men who will truthfully write it
down this month and then sadly
gaze upon it, are considered fine
fellows by their friends. They are
fine fellows-most of them; but
they could become far finer fellows
by making and keeping just one
New Year resolution.
By cutting out" the drinking
