A DECISIVE VICTORY

X ENERAL PERSHING says 'it
IT fills me with pride to forward in
general orders a tribute to the
service achievements of the First and
Third Corps" which includes the
Twenty eighth or Pennsylvania Divi-
sion. He says these troops came to
the battlefield at a crucial hour for
the allied cause and gained a bril-
liant victory that marks the turning
point of the war" General Pershing
also observes that the Pennsylvanians
and others whom he so highly COM
mends proved that our altruism, our
pacific spirit and our sense of justice
have not blunted our virility or our
courage"
In this order to his troops General
Pershing has emphasized the pur-
pose of the American people in his
statement that American initiative
and energy are as fit for the tasks of
war as for the pursuits of peace.
From every quarter of the country
now comes the demand of the peo-
pie that every atom of force be used
in crushing the Hun menace and
that no peace be declared until those
responsible for the world tragedy
shall be personally punished. Amer

Comfort For Mothers
From The Literary Digest

died to preserve his autocracy To
him it was merely evidence that his
system was still working, and he
congratulated himself. That is the
meaning of his letter. 1t could not
convey any other and be German.
Lincoln could lay the balm of
a noble sympathy on a mothers ach-
| ing heart. but he would not have
restored her sons to her even if
he could have done so at the sacri-
| flee of the cause in which they died.
He was a man of the gentlest ma
ture, but he was not a sentimental
list. He knew the war must go on
and that mothers sons must die be-
| fore 1t could end in the establish
ment of the right. He did not as
sumo that he could square the ac-
count with them by sending them
his picture autographed or by ex-
pressing qualification. Mrs. Bixby's
consolation must be in the solemn
pride that must be yours to have
laid so costly a sacrifice upon the
| altar of freedom
There was a purpose here as firm
as the Kaiser's is cruel. He was
gentle, but not weak. 1t was the
purpose of the Gettysburg address
again expressed that these dead shall
not have died in vain. There could
be no going back from the righteous
| goal because men had perished.
Rather there must be renewed de-
termination to press on. These are
things to be remembered when the
letter to Mrs. BiXby is brought UP to
| illustrate Lincolns gentleness and
sympathy. He had these attributes,
but they did not constitute weakness
in the structure of his devotion to
q human cause
One other commentary is supplied
| by the New York, Times in warn
ing us that though the report has it
that Frau Meter has now Joined
the street -beggars in Delmenhorst-
Oldenburg to get a living" before
viewing the Kaiser's letter with
laughter and scorn, it is well to re-
member that the recipient may have
viewed it exactly as did the giver."
For
IF she believed, as she presuma-
| bly, doea, in the divine right of
kings, it may be that she' was ap-
preciably comforted in her bereave-
ment, and, at any rate, it can safely
be assumed that the Kaiser hon.
estly thought she would be.
Lincoln, naturally, did not send
his photograph to the mother who
had lost five sons, and he admit
ted that no words of his could miti-
gate her sorrow. All he felt that he
could do was to thank her in behalf
of the Republic her sons had died
to save, and to remind her of the
pride she had a right to feel who
had laid so costly a sacrifice upon
the altar of freedom
so speaks the representative OF
autocracy and so the exponent OF
| II nf he of G
a characteristic product of the coun-
try in which it originated. as of the
man who wrote it. To-day the two
exemplify the causes for which so
many men are dying on both sides
of the line between the Central
Powers and their confederated op-
ponents."

THE CRANE MAN
By BRIGGS

I'm the man way up at the very
top
Where a wise guy ought to be.
I'm the boy that's over the bloom
in shop
An you gotta look UP to ME;
For 1 rides in my carriage to an fro
Like a millionaire's private train,
An we sure looks down on the gang
below,
Me an my trav'lin crane!
There amt no burdens too large for
us,
Me an this crane of mine.
We lifts the biggest without no fuss
For that is the way we shine;
We takes 'em any old shape or size
An juggles 'em through the air,
An lowers 'em careful, easywise
When it comes to the job
we're there!
Old Hercules is an also ran,
An Samson's piker, too,
They was pretty good on a small
size plan,
But to-day they'd never do;
We've got 'em faded, we've got 'em
stung,
They never could stand the strain
OF the stunts we do an the loads
we've swung
Me an my trav'lin' crane!

On Some Recent Victories

Be humble, o my country! In this
hour,
Remember there are fiery paths to
cross,
Undreamed of anguish and un-
reckoned loss
To face with courage, ere the per-
feet flower
OF Peace shall blossom after helPs
red shower.
Be confident: be brave; yet also be
Like the great Christ in : His
humility;
Be mindful of the purpose of your
power.
It is not gain you seek. 1t is not
praise.
Therefore let pride be buried in
the dust
Fight -on, forgetful of this flaming
dover
OF sudden victory. There shall be
days
OF darkness when your bright steel
seems like rust.
Be humble, o my country, in this
hour.

y-dS-You-Enter-Inn"

There are many quaint bits OF
fact and fancy in Walter Pritchard
Eaton's musings on the inspiration
of locality in American letters, en-
titled THE Literature of Place"
which appears in the September
Bookman. Here is an amusing in
stance of the way the enterprising
businessman makes capital out Oh
literary landmarks: Perhaps there
is a certain conventional pose in the
assumption that we. in America, are
poor in the overtones of literary as
sociation. After all. there is much
in American letters already WORK
ing to endear and enrich certain To-
calities. even when it is not, strictly
speaking, literature of place. l was
reminded of this fact afresh the
other day when my motor suddenly
rounded a bend on the Boston ano
Worcester post road and beside me,
behind its huge, patriarchial oaks,
rose the beautiful old walls ana
shouldering roof of the Wayside Inn.
I must admit that Longfellow lay
about me in my infancy so ubiquit-
ously and was, by pedagogical COM
nulsion, copied so often into my
memory gem book" that l now de-
test him above all other poets. Yet
saw the Wayside Inn rising be-
hind it's great oaks. flanked by the
lovely, rolling fields of MlddleseN,
with a thrill that even its antiquity
and architectural charm couid not
account for, Why, you have to pay
even to enter it now! You pay for
the privilege of paying for a meal
there. Literature did that. Let the
landlord take charge of the next Inn
up the road, let him serve meals ten
times as good. yet what would pc
come of his admission fee? No, the
Authors League should certainly
take the matter up, and compel him
to disgorge royalties. on his present
profits, to Longfellow's family.
