OUR IGNORANT SOLDIERS

German officers have informed the world that the Yanks won the
war because they knew nothing about military tactics.
The Yanks didn't know that it was impossible for infantry TO
charge machine gun meets. Yet they did it and captured or killed
the enemy.
They didnt know that a soldier was not supposed to aim at the
enemy. He should have shot only in the general direction.
They never heard that a company was supposed TO retreat after
having suffered a certain percentage of casualties, etc, etc.
Geel Our soldiers certainly were ignorant but, according 10
German officers, this ignorance was terrible for the morale of their
men The Huns knew if they stuck at their posts long enougs some
big Yank would either capture or kill them in his ignorance of rules
of the war.
But why worry. It's too late to learn now. Besides the war is
over and We did pretty good work, considering what We knew.

GOLDEN WEDDING

A glorious golden fifty years
OF hopes and sorrows, smiles and tears.
How long they stretched along life's track!
How short they shrink in looking back!
oh, some were sweet and some were sad,
But all were good and none were bad;
For, in the summing up of all,
The years of honey and of gall
Are strangely mixed. One scarce can guess
Which bore the more of tenderness.
So here's to him and here's to her,
Through days of incense and of myrrh!
For fifty years of wind and weather,
Through shower and shine, they've conn together;
Together through the fifty years,
Together through the smiles and tears.
And, if one go and one shall stay,
Together still we hope and pray:
As through these years of golden prime,
Together! to the end of Timei

COMRADESHIP OF FREEDOM

President Wilson was greeted with the utmost enthusiasm when
he addressed the French Chamber ofDeputies Monday. The freSrden
has happy way of putting words together so as to bring out the real
feeling of men, but which feeling the average man is unable to prop
ery express.
His phrase the ,comradeship of freedom, struck home among
the French IDENTITIES and has been taken up everywhere where men are
fighting 10 make the world safe for democracy y another of the
Presidents expressions that has stuck:
But what is meant by the "comradeship of froedOmF'
The President tells what it is and this is the way be described it
80 the French Deputies:

region of France. saw the noble city of Rheims in ruins,

tions of governments and forgetting the relations OF peoples;
They have been thinking of the manoeuvers of international
dealings, when what they ought to have been thinking Il was
the fortunes of men and women and the safety OF home ana
the care that they should take that their people should be
happy because they were safe.
FfThcy know that the only way to do this is to make
certain that the same thing will not always happen that has
happened this time; that there never shall be any doubt OF
waiting or surmise, but that whenever France II any w."
{ people is threatened the whole world will be ready to vindi-
cate its liberty.
at is for that reason, I take ii, that ] find such a warm
and intelligent enthusiasm in France for the Society of Ma
tions-France with her keen vision, France with her prophetic
vision.
at seems to be not only the need of France, but the need
of mankind. And France sees the sacrifices which are nee
essary for the establishment of The Society of Nations are not
to be compared with the constant dread of another catas-
trophe falling on the fair cities and areas of France"
Here, indeed, is to be found the true comradeship of freedom and
until the world adopts this comradeship freedom will ever be threat
cned.
Nations can live for themselves only no longer. Just as neigh
boring colonies that were originally separated by long, tedious trails
through endless forests, were drawn together by the development Of
the railroad and steamboat, so the nations have been drawn together
through the cable, the wireless and the aeropane. The nations o. the
earth, although they may be separated by thousands of miles of ocean,
are closer tSgethsr today than were the American colonies at the time

now depends.
