WAR STORY THAT'S DIFFERENT

- VERY now and then we run across little
r. story that cheers almost to the point OF
mental nebriaton SO many sordid, so
many sad so many sickenng tales Of the war
have come out of the vast tangle of horrors
that one is inclined to welcome something dif-
ferent.
Just now we have a story that is different
A St Louis young man front named Guy went
to the war with $500 in his pockets. Ihat was
not much to take along, of course, but as
matter of fact he really didn't need cent. Un-
Gle Sam provided handsomely for his board
and keep and for his clothing and all other
personal expenses from the moment of his leaV-
ing home. Guy, however, appears to have had
the notion that looking out for No. 1 was the
proper thing SO he kept $3.50 in his own
pockets and left his wife nickel, five cents,
one jitney.
From the whrligig Of time and battle and
sudden death the report came back to the
watchful and waiting wife that her husband
had fallen in action She had spent the nickel,
of course, and now she had neither nickel nor
husband; while she felt sure that the late hero
had spent his $500 long before the German
bullet found him. Twas doubly bereave-
ment. to be sure but Mrs. Guy stood up under
it bravely. Some wives, you know are brave
souls.
The other day The nickel endowed Wlte
who had solid ground for believing herself
widow was about to be married to young man
who very probably was not in the half-dime
class. AT any rate, she was willing to take him
for better or for worse Nothing of course
could be worse than the husband who left her
with a nickel and took along for his own use
one hundred and twelve nickels when he didn't
need cent Well, it happened Just as you
read of it in the story books and the poetry
books-Guy came home in time to prevent the
wedding.
But did the wife fall upon his neck and
devour him with kisses? The wife did not.
This is what she said to Guy:
when | got the news of your death it gave
me a shock"
"Poor lii girl" breathed Guy.
"a shock of ioy!" concluded Guys wife.
Then Guys wife told Guy to go to East st.
Louis (Which, by the way, up in st. Louis,
means to go to a certain other place..
Yes, it is a war story that's different; and
really, now, folks, don't you think it's dandy
good one, and calculated to help chase the
bloojums from the spirit?

THE OKLAHOMA AMBULANCERS

TULSA otherwise known to fame as Ieem-
L ing Tulsa or the Wonder City of the South
west has been giving glad hands this week
to the Tulsa ambuancers, who have arrived
home from overseas The reception was pulled
off in regulation Tulsa STYLE The ambulance
company from that city was the only Oklahoma
unit in the famous Rainbow division, and those
boys really ought to be called the Oklahoma
ambulancers.
son of the Tulsa ambulance company lived to
get back to American soil, notwithstanding the
fact that the unit was in the thick of the front
for many months. More than year ago 157
men of that unit went across the water, and
157 have returned. One man lost an arm, but
not one lost his life. Some were gassed and
others got wounds. and some got medals. And
all got home!
Ambulancing is by no means a ioy-job To
be in a nOn-combatant unit when shells and
bullets are falling all around and you can't
shoot back is not comfortable situation. But
the ambulancer has enough work in battle to
kepe him busy, so it is to be assumed that he
doesn't suffer from ennui even though he is
not gun-toter with free range for his trigger
finger.
The Oklahoma ambulancers did heroic serv-
ice. They and their folks and their state are
to be congratulated upon their almost miracu
lous preservation intact We hope now that
Tulsa will see to it that all the boys get good
jobs.

it has been a hard fight to hold what

When the bolshevil started retreat

tiled lobby, ponderously decorated. You
approach the Money Takers Office"
that is shaped semi.circularly and is

you are given a first class ticket, two
large bath towels and a new cake of

High Hats to the Tubs
Through Corinthan portals you step
into a spotlessy white room divided
into many metal compartments. out
side each compartment are the hot and
cold water taps, and a slate. As several
substantial citizens are just ahead of
you tone wearing silk haO, you wait
until the attendant has shown them to
their compartments, turned on the
water and chalked up the time.
Each bather is allowed half an hour.
The tubs are huge porcelain ones, with
cold shower attachments overhead. TIP
ping is forbidden. Extra towels are
a penny each. Each compartment has
a full assortment of toilet articles
for your use if you are not finicky.
Most of the borough and council
baths have large tiled swimming pools,
with instructors constantly in attend
ance to teach all strokes without fee.
Certain days are reserved for women.
The point is. however. that the Eng
lish institution is founded on tub and
shower baths. The pool is the only eX-
cuse for the baths that l have seen
in America, open only in the not
months. The public baths in England are
ois.n the whole year, from in the
morning until in the evening.

Juneauite From Philippines Can See No Union Be- tween American Islands
 and Japan

To the Editor:-After having read in your most popular newspaper re- gently the article entitled, Japan s Reasons for Purchase of the Phil ippine Group" as Filipino by birth and an American at heart. l do not hesitate to say that Japan q am pos itive) cannot buy the Philippines The islands have more resources and are 100 per cent richer than Japan Besides. the people of the Philip pine islands have entirely different characters, ideas, manners, religions. and civilization: Of course, the Fiji pinos are Oriental in appearance, as Japanese or Chinese, but our civiliza- ton is European and American. presume that this is the main reason the Filipinos cannot and will not mingle with the Japanese. You, MT Reader of The Empire. know the Filipinos are the only Christian pee pie in the Orient.
 l know, too, the people of America are more eager to receive honor from other nations than to get the money cost of the Philippines from Japan. I am sure American citizens will not let the Japs rule over the islands: because the American peo pie (rich and poor) offered their precious lives and wealth in the Philippines during the war Those sacrifices they made to take the Spanish yoke off the Philippines and they gave and taught the Fiji pinos the real and essential civiliza ton and standard life. So. the Am erican people, instead of getting the money cost will stand for honor and justified victory
