UTHE word Of the Lord by
Z" night to the watching Pill

Emerson Iklics, Winchester
aman," was walking down High
Street. Armed Americans had been
familiar to him for months past, but
he and his top hat were stranger
than Peruvian Incas to newly ar
rived contingent Of the American
army.
Never in their lives had they seen
the like of this infant Sphinx, and
they called softly upon their home
gods to bear witness that he was as
inconceivably a fact as the rest Of
the new world they had been de-
canted into twenty-four hours ago.
The roll of the ship and the rattle
Of the wheels we're still on them;
they talked to each other Of their
Transports station in the convoy
much as new boys at school compare
notes with those who came down
with them in the same train, the
tain that at least started from
home. They had nothing to cling to
save the points of the compass.
The sun still set in the west, but
even he, instead Of going to bed de-
Gently at or 7, hung around star
ing in these strange skies half the
night through. THAT was the out
standing marvel to them so far;
that and the desperate speed at
which they had been whirled hither.
"Forty and even fifty miles an hour,
sir, with only three stops" had
they come

That is q reflection which would
not have occurred to many English
mothers sons in camp within rifle
shot of the gray bulk of Wincheste,
Cathedral. Yet this man, too, a salt
ed regular, recounting some piece of
Hun beastliness in Belgium, picked
and chose his words like a girl of
sixteen-a most unhandy person for
the heather to deal with.

from the camp to stop it.
Anyway, They
Didn't Get Alfred
Good Lord" I said, cowed by the
awful word. "Does that mean
tanks?"
"No, sir. No one was tanked. An
organization is what you call a unit,
just some boys to make 'em quit
lassoing Alfred. They quit. But,
believe me, it wasn't any prayer
meeting for a while. Anyway, they
didn't get Alfred"

Their Salute
Was So Different

Their faces we're all clean-shayen,
their voices startlingly low-pitched,
and the next most noticeable thing
was their salute, which is wholly
different from any in our varie-
gated repertoire.
A wounded private picked out
couple Of young officers and extend
ed to them the full, true and very
particular salute Of His Majestys
Brigade Of Guards. So does a pro-
fessor emeritus greet beginner in
the schools. Both officers returned
it together, each glancing sideways
to see if the other was correct. Fif-
teen seconds later another wounded
private put them through it again.
A major of the regular army with
whom I had foregathered smiled.
SYour men do it on purpose" said
he.
wouldn't you, if you had the
chance? It does our boys a lot Of
good"
The youngsters removed them
selves. An American military po-
hceman straight out Of "Life"),
twirling his locustwood club Of Of
fee, strolled across the street to
confer with the English policeman
(straight out of "Punch''). A rife
man looked at them.
"Gawd's truth" said he from his
appYeciative soul. And Gods truth
indeed it was, as much as the young
W. A. A. c. driving the elderly U.
s. colonel in a car, and honking be-
hind an Air Service lorry, who In
turn was honking to warn an Amer
lean squad coming back from a
promenade that she meant to turn
in front of them. The English po-
liceman raised his hand, the subal-
tern halted his men. One could feel
his embarrassment when the smooth
faced English houses all of a row
echoed the uncertainty pitched word
Of command.
Suppose the
Tables Turned
But suppose you had been
snatched from, say, the suburbs OF
Coventry, and after three weeks
turned down at a place called Nor
rlstown, New Jersey, with orders to
take your platoon, which till then
had never seen traffic pass to the
night, from the railway station to
the golf club. Would your voice be
at its most professional the first
time? "Thafs doing 'em good, too,"
vas the majors comment.
A fellow officer at his elbow
groaned:
Whats the American for three
pence halfpenny? I've been buy
ing postcards"
SAID the major to me: "Your
British currency is like our uniform
too conservative"
Where does your salute come

Don't worry" said l. You'll

Shouldn't wonder, but we're a
big country, and we'd need quite a
few to go round. You'ue got too
many"
The wound stripes impressed
them, too. They judged it bad bust
ness to use seriously wounded men
several times over. Some of them
there will be more later-seemed
to know to what we owed this state
of affairs and thanked heaven that
they themselves had had "the draft"
(Anghce, straight conscription)
from the first.
And, slowly or swiftly, each out
of his own experience, they are re-
casting their ideas of the English,
which, to tell the truth, were first
placed in them and their forebears
by the Irish. Ask any American of
the last generation whence they had
their early hatred Of England, and
nearly all of them will tell you it
was from Irish nurse, servant, hired
man or friend. So with these.
But now the wheel has come full
circle. England, stripped for the
dear life and too busy to know or
care, is laid open to them from end
to end as she was and is to our own
dominions.
Meantime Ireland, for reasons
sufficient to herself-her sons will
have to restate them for generation
after generation to every race and
color in the world-the Ireland that
calls herself the beautiful names
and strikes the beautiful poses, is
not only demonstrably and dam
nably out of it, but loudly in ALI.

The Facts Are
Doing the Welding

One can't be grateful enough
that neither Americans nor English
have time to sentimentalize over
each other. The facts of the case
are doing the welding.
On our way to visit some terri
tories under the American flag we
crawled through the packed lam of
High Street, parting the crowd as
delicately as maid combs lap

TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION
ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Whitman County Tax
payers association held at Colfax on
July 6, the following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, The winning of the war
is our greatest concern and all else
is relatively unimportant, and
Whereas, Whitman County has
supplied three and one-quarter mil
lions of dollars for government war
requirements, largely from the 1917
short crop, and doubtless must pro-
vide five million dollars from the
1918 crop, which has an unpromising
outlook and will not provide five mil
lion dollars net over cost Of produc-
ton, and
Whereas, All taxation under pres
ent conditions impairs the ability of
our people to provide needed war
funds, and
Whereas, Construction of public
improvements encroaches upon the
labor supply needed for the produc-
ton of food stuffs, therefore be it
Resolved by the Executive Com
mittee of the Taxpayers Association
of Whitman County, That all ex-
rendtures at this time for other
than absolute essentials, are unpatri-
otto and unwise, and the commission
ers of Whitman county are urged to
practice the closest economy in the
administration of the affairs of the
county, and to disapproye of all new
projects for road building or other
public improvements until more OPP
perfume times, thus conserving the
resources of the county in money and
labor for war requisites.

ANOTHER REASON WE'RE PROUD
 OF "OUR BOYS."

In chronicling the check by the American troops in France of a "sl- lent attack" by the Germans before it was launched, the Associated Pres correspondent with the American army in France describes an alarm of a "gas attack" saying:
 'Nsrhe chief of staff of one division and another staff officer. who were motoring to a village back of the lines, came upon several companies. all the men in masks. The officers hurried put on their own masks and rode toward the front line. At the next village the men were wearing masks. The officers kept theirs on until they saw thru shell hooe in the side of brick wall 20 infantry men with no masks rollong dice as if nothing had happened.'
