861E xPLAINING the Britishers'" is
 ~. the title of a most interesting
 and entertaining book by Fred erick William Vile, the clever author of Men Around the Kaiser" and The As sault"
 First of all it may be necessary to the 'unnitiated" to explain MT Vile. Those who read know him as the brilliant rep resentative in Germany and England for the Chicago Daily News; also for 13 years he was the correspondent in Germany for the LondonDaily Mail, so that it Is readily discerned that MT. Vile has enjoyed ex- ceptional opportunities for observation and information regarding the subjects which he has so well handled
 The fact that Mir. Wiles personal view point is employed in his book, Explain ing the Britishers," makes it unique in a great many ways and a keen signifi- canoe and value is thus attached to 1t, and coming as the volume does at a timely and very appropriate period, the welcome interpretation he gives of the Britisher for the enlightment of the American public is at once vital and inn portant.
 | MT. Wile's book will materially help to dispel misunderstanding and refute the many false statements circulated in America by the Germans about England, and it will serve the purpose of cement ing the friendship of two great English speaking countries closer and more Sol- idly than ever before, task which in it's achievements through MT. Wiles pen will undoubtedly afford great satisfaction to the author whose fairness is shown in every way throughout the book. /
 Explaining the Britishers' is intro- duced by a "Foreword" from Admiral Sims, who says:
 Our country has sent millions of her sens to fight in the international army of civilization.
 "Our object is to win a complete vic- tory as soon as possible and return to our homes.
 "We therefore wish our help to be of the maximum efficiency.
 The better we know the allies, the more effective our cooperation will be.
 All of us know in a general way the splendid fortitude and glorious deeds Of the soldiers and sailors of Great Britain. France and Italy. But how much do we know of their tremendous losses in lives or of the labors and suffering of their civil populations?
 This book was written by an American who lived in England before and through out the war. His purpose is to explain exactly what sort of chap the Brit sher is and what the army, navy and people of Great Britain and her colonies have done in freedoms cause. Mir. Vile shows how the Britishers bore the brunt of the onslaught of an enemy which had been preparing for this war for nearly half a century
 Any American soldier, sailor or civilian who takes the trouble to read these pages will find that both the men and women Of the British nation have to their credit a truly wonderful record of courage and accomplishment Nearly a million of their fighting men have been killed in bat tie, and twice as many wounded, but there was never any sign of weakening

the first principles of self-control anu efficiency. In other words, playing the game" which means playing fair ly. squarely, honorably, all the time which means so much to the Engnsh- man that when a fellow doesn't deal honestly with his fellow men or stoops to anything low or under-handed they say:
 Tt isn't cricket"
 Cricket" says MT. Vile, lis English temperament and character composite, and he declares that the Fundamentals principles the English lad learns at the game follow him through life and make him the splendid, honest straight forward man that he is.
 Under the caption "The British Navy" and another, "The Home Army, Mir. Vile pays the most striking com pliment to these cradles of the ser vice, giving remarkable statistics, of the magnificent manpower arrayed during the war, guided and command ed by some of the greatest officers in modern warfare.
 ITO Ireland and her Colonies MT. Vile devotes chapter brimful of in- terest and he says triumphantly;
 "Tens of thousands of Pershings great army are Irish by birth and by ancestry; I saw a statement the other day that 25 per cent of the American  majority of that number must be Oirrish' lads! Ireland is not happy land; 1t never has been; it is troublous by nature, because, as witty Irishman himself once said: An Irishman doesn't know what he wants, an be jabbers, he won't be happy till he gets ito
 Further on in the chapter MT. Vile makes this statement:
 CT have told Vou about Ireland be- cause many of you are Irish by origin and because all Americans love the Irish'
 Mir Vile tells in the most attrac. tive manner--in fact, it is one of the most readable chapters in his book, How the Britishers Are Governed" declaring that the British empire is free country-none freer exists any, where on Gods footstool." The Brit ishers boast that there is more free dom under their Union Jack" than there is under our stars and Stripes" We won't argue that point with them. I only mention it to make you under stand that although they have a House of Lords" and princes and thing, the Britishers look upon them- selves as being in all respects as demo- cratic and free a nation as the United Statesi
 The author alludes to how "class was entirely abolished during the war, when chauffeur and prince, truck driv- CT and duke, fought side by side in the great army of the British.
 He then passes on to ,"The Bulldog Breed" which he interprets as the thing that makes the British what they are and emphasizes the fact that the one thing about the Britisher that the Germans cannot understand is that The never knows wAen he is licked; and that is why men of the British race

 The final chapter of3 Espia'n-nE the Britishers''' is entitled 'fEn Haat i3rlt-. isher," and as MT. W nas NY1t in England and mingled v ih -ne se ople and knows them intin ai7 rom tns highest to the lowest classes, e9f the past 20 years he is em uariy fi-ts1 to give an honest picture 1f iAe teai Britisher," which he intcrprsiH az toi- lows

 "A famous Irishman," MT. Vile says, named Daniel O'connell. once said that the average Englishman has all the qualities of a poker. except it's oc- casicnal warmth" He was right The average Englishman tries to keep himself as stiff as a poker, because he was taught at school that it was not good form to appear SIlOLloAoA He is polite, all right, but always re- served He's been taught to be; it's the English way
 Summing up the situation briefly. the last tribute in the book MT. Wlie pays to England's part in the war Is thus gracefully put:
 And if l may indulge in one part ing thought before I finish work that has been for me labor of love, vvo,1d ask vou to baniSh from your thoughts the notion that America came into the war to save England;' Eng land has saved herSelf!'
 Mir Vile has written his book.

the extent of the Britishers' sacrifices both on the firing line and at home will inspire all Americans to put forth their best efforts to bring this distressing war to a satisfactory end"
 Mir. Vile opens his book with the chap ter entitled, England and America" and significantly asks:
 "How many of you fellows, l wonder, landed on the shores of England with the same ideas about her that I had when l first came? Two things were uppermost in my thoughts: First that we once fought her to win our Independence; and, secondly, that every Englishman hated us as the devil hates holy water l ar rived in England with chip on my shoulder and I expected to have il knocked off. With my primary school United States history deep and patrioti- cally ingrained in me, I felt sure that I had come to a country with whlch America was no longer at war, but when was still our enemy all the same.
 MT Vile then Interestingly runs through the experiences, the eye openers and the many pleasant sur prises he had of the Britisher, his ways and his means-and sums up the slt- uation in the first chapter by saying:
 And now I want to tell you as pest can, how Mother Britain, hopelessiy unprepared rolled up her sleeves In August, l9I4, SioWiy, "' 10 A but gritting her teeth more resolutely all the time until today she stands forth giantess in arms, her world wide territories uninvaded, her flag supreme on the high seas, her Will un- broken and all her hundreds of mtl- lions of people, white and black, united in one fierce, firm, determination-to carry on till victory final and com plete is achieved"
 Mir Vile attributes England's suc- cess largely to "cricket," Englands $ national game-like our baseball--for in this game the English "kid' learns

 The board of supervisors of Lowndes county has rescinded it's action refusing to grant petition providing for a change in the route of the Pickensville pike, which extends from Columbus to Pick ensville. Ala. thereby making available federal appropriation of $l0.000 for the improvement of the road. Government engineers recommended that the appro- priation be not made unless two steep hills were eliminated by the proposed change in route, and while the county solons at the behest of owners of adJa- cent property at first refused to provide for the change, sHey later reversed them selves on the proposition.
