OUR MUHLENBERG
From the Nashville Banner.

From the Nashville Banner.
 The Philadelphia Public Ledger calls Sergeant York '"Tennessee's Muhlen- berg" Is the sergeant in a position to appreciate the iment?-Birming- ham Age-Herald.
 Doubtless, like very many other Americans, he is not. Yet the compli- ment in the Philadelphia papers conn parison is worthy one. John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg was born at Trappe, Pa, in 1746. Was educated in Halle but ran away from college and enlisted in the dragons; became in 1772 a minister of the Lutheran church at Woodstock, Va; was much in pub lie life and soon after the outbreak of the revolution, threy off his gown in the pulpit, displaying military uni form. read his commission as colonel, and ordered the drums to beat for re- cruits; served with great distinction at Charleston, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, Stony Point and Yorktown; became a brigadier general in 1777, and afterwards a major general. He later served in the House of Representatives and as United States senator. There is nothing very similar about York and Muhlenberg except it be that both were brave when bravery was needed and both were pious, though behind the piety of the Pennsy1vanian there was undoubtedly a war-loving- spirit that could not be subdued.

THE BACKWASH

American sense of humor may save most vious pitfalls, though no daughter of Eve is safe, confronting dashing frock of indisputable novelty and striking style. It has always been so, apparently; the women's fashions in the first decade Of the eighteenth century indicated the same most exciting thing.
 And all this comes at moment when England is faced with most serious eco homie problems; indeed, it is partly the problems which make people act like lu- natics. For instance, to keep to the dis taff side of the account, some S40O young British girls of the ''flapper" age-oe- tween IA and IS years-are presently to be turned out (gracile, "demobilized'o from their clerical and messenger work in gov- ernment offices; these girls scarcely req lize that their employment has been tenn porary. Many of them have utterly ne- glected their own education-and no won der-when the compulsion for schooling was shifted to urgency for the govern ment work. They knew enough to learn the very simple duties of these war jobs, and earned little money at then out now when occupation and salaries (even if smalD are to stop pretty short-the so- called ministry of reconstruction has scarcely more difficult or delicate proo- lem on it's hands than to take care or them.
 Naturally, they have to be taken care of in some fashion: England cannot af-

lished in the remotest corners-where the Americans as a whole have not become intensely unpopular. France and Italy are more than fed up" with them. And the reason, 1 imagine, or one of the chief reasons. is that they are an inferior nation posing as a su- perior one.
 The arrogance of the aristocrat is detestable. But the arrogance of the mere plutocrat is unbearable. And, after all, it is on wealth that America depends for her influence. As a race the Americans are, as they might put i- themselves, all-sorts-of-D -Dagoes Their kinship with us is of the remot- est. Not more than, say, .Oo1 per 1000 q have not the figures by mel have a drop of British blood-though, as some one has remarked, if all the claims to descent from the Mayflower immigrants are true, she must have been liner more monstrous than even the twentieth century has ever seen. For the rest, a regular world-mixture is sponsibe-Sweden, Norway, Dem mark, Italy, Russia, Spain, yes, and Germany
 As matter of fact, a great propor- tion of so-called Americans are real ly Germans. No wonder President Wilson feels such a stirring pity and kindness to the boche. have talked to Americans-wearing khaki too, though only of the Red Cross-who are nothing but pro-Germans.
 This attack on Americans may re fleet the sentiment of a class of Eng fish people, but while waiting flo more convincing proof, we shall cor tinte to believe that the America and English people as a whole ar more closely united than ever befor, that they have better understand ing of one another and have foun mere than sufficient ground for mt tual admiration.

plication of the doctrine of states rights. He did not want war; only wanted each state to have tie right of withdrawing from the union peace fully.
 The four years of bloody struggle came as logical sequence of the heated condition of the country. In the retrospect of history all the ques- tions involved in the war are looked upon now as academic.
 If Mir. Davis as the chief, executive of the Confederacy made mistakes in judgment and if his military policy caused friction with his generals for a time, no one ever accused him of any of the small arts of the politician. All the bitterness growing out of the war between north and south gradu- ally passed away; and even the criti- cism of Mr. Davis inside Confederate circles ceased while he was yet living.
 After Lees surrender MT. Davis was arrested by Union troops in Georgia while he was endeavoring to reach the Army of the West. He was conveyed to Fortress Monroe and was indicted by the United States grand 1 jury of the District of Columbia on the charge of treason. He was never brought to trial; but he languished in prison two years, part of the time in chains. He was released on bail, with Horace Greedy on his bond. Held in high esteem by his people, his vicari- ous suffering drew them to him in bonds of singular tenderness. No man was more truly honored in the south from the time of his release until his death in New Orleans in 1889. His public reception in Atlanta in 1871 was a memorable affair and his state funeral in Richmond was the most Imposing ever seen in the capital of fthe Confectionery.
 The union is one and indestructible not only in fact, but in sentiment. But the survivors of the Lost Cause will to the end cherish the memory of the man who administered their government during the four years from 1861 to 1865 and who ultimately bore their sorrows.

MAY SALVAGE ARMADA GALLEON From the Detroit News.
 The news that operations are shortly to be resumed at Tobermory to salvage the old armada galleon sunk in Tober- mory bay. has revived much interest in the story of her wreck and the many subsequent searches for the ship and its contents.
 The objects now in view embrace the raising of the hull of the vessel and
 salvaging the gold, silver, rare jewels and the store of silver crucifixes. can dlesticks, plates and cups which formed |the equipment of the eight priests of
 Rome who were to perform with due ceremony the coronation of the Duke of Parma as the Catholic King of Eng land.

T was struck on Friday afternoon by the thoughtfulness of one of our leading citizens who took it upon himself to stand on the west corner of Twentieth street and Sixth avenue and for & half hour direct people to the First Baptist church who were on their way to Capi- tol park to hear William Jennings Bry- an, as the meeting place had been changed on account of the weather" said Walter S. Brown. "He communicated me to stand on the east side and help him out. It saved hundreds of people from going out of their way. Now the strange thing about the whole thing was that after he had finished his self appointed task, he laughingly remarked that out of the scores upon scores he assisted, only one said I thank you"

F E British Paper Plays Wilson and America

WHILE the American people are w flattering themselves that they are universally admired and praised for the valiant deeds of our soldiers by our British cousins, it is interesting, instructive and perhaps a bit salutary to get the other point of view.
 From time to time paragraph or two in newspaper dispatch from abroad discloses the disconcerting fact that we are not as popular either in America or France as most of us have been led to suppose. It is now gen. erally conceded that America is not a word to conjure with in Italy, nor yet in Japan. Even Belgiumis milf d, state of mind which smacks strong ly of ingratitude, whatever may have been the sins of omission or commits sion at the peace conference.
 But it is chiefly Illuminating to see what some of the more outspoken British newspapers think of us. A correspondent of the New York World says, s'It may be we'll for Americans to realize fully the attitude toward them and their country that obtains in certain sections of British society and public life" He quotes at length from the London World, which ex- presses opinions of America and Americans that we rather expected in the days of Dickens, but coming close upon so much "hands across the sea" talk, they seem both untimely and unfair.
 The London paper says: "The whole business (of Fiume) has been another instance of President Wilson's as- founding lack of tack But the
 
 President will ride off on some other hoppy-horse in his peculiar endeavor to make Americans stink in the nos- trils of Europe for 100 years"
 Bewailing the fact that English men did not study American psychol- ogy "before we had been committed, and helped to commit Europe, into the hands of America's President, ? the writer declares, i've were robbed of victory in war, and, probably, of victory in peace-all by this Old Man of the Sea from across the sea, that has so fatally fastened on us."
 A few more splenetic paragraphs are worth quoting, as a study in the psychology of certain type of Briton, the snobbish type who has al- ways hated America as, My word! positively vulgah!"
 If only the prime minister, in his blackest mood of Celtically desperate despair, had not sent that s. o. S.. If two years ago we had clenched our teeth and gone on standing alone--we and France and Italy and our smaller allies! There is growing belief that we could have won through without the help of the egregious author of the egregious 14 points. And it is might t-have-been that looms before us ever more maddeningly as we learn more of the kind of Ally we have let ourselves in for. Not ally. Associated power or something, isn't it? Even here there is an air of assumption of being mot as other men"
