 The world war changed nearly everything else in the world but the We told that more than seven millions died the field of honor, that other millions will limp through life disabled that still other millions will have to get along as best they can without knowing the protection of father and mother-orphans in untold numbers left to the none to tender mercy of the world. But there isn't a said, in the reports concerning the war; about the None of the reports claim that the sun turned back, or that the vegetation will not be influenced by the light and heat of yore.

MUCH FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN TOMMIES
 AND THE TANKS
Officers and Men of the Grand Fleet Felt a Mutual Respect and Friendship for Each
 Other.

LONDON, March 19-Officers and men of the Grand Fleet miss their comrades of the American battleship squadron which shared the war vigil with the British Navy. The text iust made public of the messages exchanged by the two forces when he American ships departed Decem- Der 1st., shows how strong was the friendship between them.
 As the American dreadnaughts steamed away, the British command. 9r-in-chief signalled:
 "Your comrades of the Grand Fleet 'egret your departure. We trust this s only temporary, and that the in 'erchange of squadrons from the two great fleets of the Anglo-Saxon race bye, good luck, and that you will nave good time and come back soon."
 In reply came the following:
 "Your friendly and brotherly sig nal of God-speed is deeply apprec- 'ated by the officers and men of your Sixth a Battle Squadron We will never forget the hospitality, which has made us feel part of your big 'amily, and we intend to maintain hat relation for all time. We all hope to serve under your command.' "
 sThe use of the word your" was lost upon no one in the Grand Fleet, least of all Admiral Beatty. Another message was immediately sent:
 "This is indicative of the intimate brotherly unity and sympathy which exists on both sides of that greatest ocean highway. the Atlantic, and, as it is not joined by land, is kept warm and alive largely by men of the sea.

SENATORIAL ARGUMENTS.
Philadelphia Record.)


 Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, one of the tmid souls arighted by the idea of the League of Nations against which he inveghed vehemently the other day in the Senate, is also strenuous advo cate of prohibition Apropos of the opposition of New York paper that drastic legislation, he refers to its editor pleasantly as "a liquor hireng, pro- German propagandist, Bolshevist Anarchist, traitor, lunatic idiot.
 This remarkable language is presented here simply rehecing the mental processes of too many United States Senators. When they cannot make reasoned reply to sound argument in opposition to their views they resort abuse of fifty flights imagina- tion There is striking lack of clean-cut thought based upon facts and history. There eloquent flights of highfalutin oratory that draw rapturous cheers from the galleries, but which leave the Amer- can people cold. The common people of this try great deal more interested in securing a lasting for the world than in conjurng up imag mary dangers from the League of Nations Jones, Borah, Reed sherman and others like them may tinue to but the American people, fully 90 per cent of whom support the Presidents position, will have their way in the end.

Senator Tom c. Price claims the oldest joke is the one about the church deacon who attended a con ference in little town in Ohio. He put up at an old-fashioned hotel and had to push a button on the wall of his room any time when he wanted service. The deacon needed a hot toddy when he got into his room, so he rang for hot water. When the proprietir came up with a small pitcher of hot water the deacon ex plained that he needed the hot water to shave himself Next day the pro prietor was talking to the local pas tor and said: That Deacon Smith who is stopping at my hotel is the funniest man l ever did see" What is the matter with him?" asked the Pastor. "Oh," replied the proprietor ''He slaves himself about every three hours. He is always ringing for hot water so he can shave him self again"

1t was our duty to keep them cont

began to serve them with ice-creams,

we secured the best entertainment for

You have prepared these men for
