which Major General Lafayette. Y. D.
A., fought for the existence OF n"-

In the present struggle for the wrest-
ing of the world from the grip OF an
avid Attila Americans, British and
French are shoulder to shoulder at the
front. How our General Lafayette
would have enthused and gladdened at
the thought! The quarrel Of the Amer

was not with the people Of England but
with a Hanoverian king who acted
against the counsel Of the wisest states
men of British birth. The instructive
love of fair play which is implanted In
the Englishman rebelled at the thought
of a colonial taxation without represen-
tation.
Lafayette's attitude to the English
was revealed when, while visiting his
uncle, the Marquis de Noailles, then
ambassador to the Court Of ST. James,
he declined all Invitations to visit ar
senals and shipyards, believing that by
so doing he would be taking an unfair
advantage Of nation which was to be
his foe through the stupidity of a rul-
er who could not and would not under
stand.
His home in Paris after the close OF
the war of the revolution became
place of rendezvous for both English
and Americans.
"Since the war Is over and we have
won it." he wrote to General WASH
ington in 1885, II have. confess. an
extreme pleasure in meeting English
people. Either as q Frenchman. or a
soldier, or an American, or mere In
dividual, I find myself without embar-
rassment In the presence Of that proud
nation"
There could have been no gentler
acts of courtesy than those which he
did when CORVALLIS had surrendered
at Yorktown, for he had the highest
opinion of the British commander as
man, and, as he modestly wrote Corn
wallis, "held him in high esteem"
Long before there were hands
stretched across the sen between this
country and England. Lafayette. the
American general, was doing much to
bring about a reunion of the two ma
tions which are brothers Of one blood.

Triple Economy
in Wheat Saving

Sir William Goode, of the British
Food Ministry, says that from
July, 1917, to April, 1918, the Unit
ed States exported to the allies 80,-
100000 bushels of wheat products.
Of this it is asserted that 5O,OOO,-
900 bushels represented voluntary
sacrifices by the American people
in their consumption of wheat.
There is a triple economy, a
triple aspect to this saving Of
wheat. 1t saved wheat for our
Army and the armies of our allies;
it saved money to the American
people, and for the most part this
money went for the purchase of
Government war securities.
There is another saving still;
this sort of sacrifice and economy
is helping win the war-shorten

War Brings Sense
of Responsibility

That the war is bringing to wo-
men a hitherto unknown sense of
responsibility was recently demon
strated by a little bride whose we'd
ding ceremony was performed in
the Hostess House of the Young
Women's Christian Association at
Camp Meade. She did not appear
to be more than sixteen years old,
and her bridegroom was in the very
early twenties. After the ceremony
she prepared to go back to her
home for the next day the young
husband started for France.
Don't you wish you could go
with him to France?" sympathetic
cally asked DR.. Florence NJ. Dyor,
the Hostess Director of the House.
