United States Admirals.

The first rear admirals in the United
States navy were commissioned in 1862
when that rank was created by act Of
congress. David Farragut, for his valor
in the Civil war, was made vice admir-
al In 1864, and two years later the
rank of admiral in the United States
navy was established for the purpose
of honoring him. The grade of admiral
was revived in 1890 and conferred up
on George Dewey, the hero of Manila.
The highest rank of American naval
officers in active service was, up to q
short time ago, that of rear admiral.
The title of admiral was first used In
France. and the first French admiral
was appointed in 1884. A few years
later the title was-adopted by the Eng
fish, and the rank of admiral of the
English seas was first given TO William
lie Leybourne by Edward / in 1897.

FRANCE BLEED IN SILENCE

Every genuine American will agree
with the following from the Columbia
State:
France bled in silence throughout
the terrible struggle, concealing her
wounds that were pouring her heart
blood upon the sacred soil of the re-
public
That is the French way.
1t was not for the glory of the
after revelation which now shows her
fit mother of La Pucelle, delivered of
her country, and martyr in her robe
of fire.
No other country could have given
birth to Joan. Joan could have been
born is no other cradle
The Spartan youth was trained to
make no cutlery in suffering. The
world is taught the cruel story of the
Spartan boy who concealed the stolen
fox under his cloak, while the brute
was gnawing at his vitals, and re-
NAMED stoically unmoved in face of
frame until he fell dead. That is not
the kind of fortitude the world should
be taught to admire
Let it look at France, martyred of
a million and half of her sons,
martyred of thousands of her daugh-
tiers and still more thousands of her
young children. Yet she goes out to
I the desperate struggle day after day
against the beast OF the German
forest, which daily seeks and devours
its prey. Not a tear in her steel-set
eyes, not a tremor of her taut and
puissant muscles, not sigh Or groan.
She counted all the terror and pain
of all her losses; and was willing to
suffer still greater, in order that hel
soil should be kept free for her chill
dren. She would never have surren-
dered, would never have given up
even with only an inch of French soil
to stand and Highland die on.
She is not only the creator of liber-
ty in the true modern significance of
the word, but she is it's greatest de-
fender. Liberty exists to the world to-
day because France stood ready to die
for it on any one of hundred fields.
Today, after the fires of war have
rolled over her, and she energies more
glorious than ever, more respondent,
more than ever, even in her own
glorious career, "the queen of men,
with helmeted hair" she quietly,
without complaining. without boast
ing, reveals her awful wounds.
She sent 100000 men and boys
into the battle to save French soil and
French civilization. One in every four
gave his life for the great mother
land. Probably twice that many have
returned from the field crippled for
ever, looking to their people to help
them life out what is left of life; or
MANNED and enfeebled and impover-
ished. Thousands on thousands hast
ened half-healed from the hospitals
to fight again, and again to offer
their lives for their country.
No wonder that such men and youth
will gladly fight for such a mother!
As Hugo said of the French legions
of the First Consul:
''They would have scaled the very
clouds, if, looking back, they had seen
the First Consul pointing to the
stars!'
France had to point to no star, but
only to her own heart. And that must
be saved, if twice the offered 7,0OO,-
900 had to die for it.
1t was worth all the sacrifice and
for France has saved the world.

Mr.. Wilson has been in Europe over
two weeks, and we hope his political
opponents will have the grace to adj
nit that he has not gummed up the
works. He has been received with the
greatest enthusiasm by the. French
and English and with double enthus-
iasm by our own men. We do not
see how anyone can deny that the
president is adding to the prestige of
America by his visit abroad.

! All the Rosen Rye In this country
which has passed the second inspect
ion, and thus, been registered, has
already been sold. We can however,
secure from nearby counties, register
ed rye for any one who may desire
this grade of seed.
There is still available a large
quantity of good grade unregistered
Rosen rye, at but little above market
prices-after it has been carefully re-
cleaned, and we hope every farmer
who intends to grow any rye will SOW
Rosen rye, and take a "shot at the
Kaiser"
Our Government is asking the
Michigan farmer not to increase their
wheat acreage this year over last
years acreage, but to maintain it
where soil is suitable for wheat pro-
duction, and increase greatly the
acreage of rye, using the Rosen
variety.
This office will put itself out to any
length to help any rye grower secure
Roscn rye seed. Plant this variety
and help win the war at the same
time you are increasing the income
from your rye crop.
The Spirit of Van Buren,
County Farmers.
In the last few weeks the writer
has met hundreds of farmers of this
county at his Office and at farmers
meetings. So impressed has he been
with the spirit which prevails among
this class of people, that he cannot
refrain from taking this opportunity
of paying tribute to it.
The spirit of the farmer is the
spirit of the whole American people.
1t is to win the war no matter what
the cost. No effort is too great. No
sacrifice too hard, but what it will be
made to win the war. This is the
spirit of the American people and of
the Van Buren, County, farmers and
their families.
With very hard season because of
adverse weather conditions, the far
mers and their families have been
cheerful, always hoping and working
and how they have worked and
schemed, to produce more than ever
before with less labor.
Great good is coming to the Amer
lean people because of the war, and
not small part of it is the develop
ment of the patriotic spirit, which has
been developed by all classes Of
people.
