But / was never surprised at any re-
semblance that appeared when your boys
and ours stood side by side in the
trenches. The minuteman of Concord is
the ideal Of the young Englishman of to-
day. who flung himself over the top, CIV
ing away his comforts and risking his life
for every man in his company.
We long to see England rich in just
such young men as your minuteman, and
you make the same prayer for America,
SO that In this, as in all the things by
which men live, you and we have the
same aims--liberty and the service of our
country and our God
l saw very beautiful expression of the
feeling between us on Memorial day last
year, says writer in Scribner's | went
early in the morning to the Old North
bridge with flowers for the minuteman; a
Southern friend was with me, and the
two lost causes, British and Confederate,
were alone on the bridge. We laid flow
ers before the minuteman and on the
grave of the two British soldiers whose
fate so moved Hawthorne. His spirit
may have Joined us as we passed the Old
Manse, but no one else was to be seen,
when suddenly a ghostly procession came
through the mist-six old veterans lust
risen from their graves four tiny boy
scouts hardly yet born; and two young
men of the present carrying bugle and
a flag
r They went first to the British grave
and for the first time in history they laid
on 1t England's flag and branch of New
England apple blossoms; they saluted
blew bugle call, and passed on to do
the same for the minuteman and his flag
Then they stood in line on the bridge
each of the IL threw flower into the
river and saluted, while the leader said
I'VE salute all the sailors who died in the
Civil war;
Then after last ghostly bugle call
they melted away into the mist. Was it
the mist of past or future ?-for they had
saluted the three great facts of past,
present and future history-the birth of
democracy, the friendship of Anglo Sax
onisfn. and the future peace of the world
which will surely spring from it.

helped no other people to gain our
glorious liberty. All was well If we
were let alone by the political and

Autocracy In Rout.
But new world order has come in
The western hemisphere is all free.
China has astonished the world by
electing a president. "The bear that
walks like man" becomes human for
fortnight and is free-until his lib
erty, mistaken for license, enslaved
him to the bolsheviki. France and
Portugal are free; Great Britain, our
ancient oppressor, is free and is our
friend. The British empire is free, a
galaxy of great self-governing peoples
Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa-all free, even though a
figurehead king is its nominal head :;
but Lloyd George, democrat, not
George V autocrat, is the real ruler Of
the British empire!
Now for "Peace on Earth"
Free peoples do not menace the tran
guilty Of the world; they are not bent
on conquest; they seek not to impose
their will on their neighbors, even
though the neighbor be weak and
small. They covet nothing which is
their neighbours. They stand for peace
on earth and good will among men.
The considerations alike of safety and
ethics demand the observation of the
golden rule among nations.
On July 4, 1776 the old Liberty bell
rang out In order to proclaim liberty
throughout all the land, unto all the In
habitants thereof" Suppose that on
another July it were permitted te

F00D QUESTION |S
 BIB GERMAN ISSUE

BERLIN, Friday, March 14.-(By the Associated Press) The food question is the all important question in Ger many and the coming of supplies from the allied countries is certain to have marked effect on prices.
 It is hoped that the appearance in the butcher shops of considerable quantity of American pork will break the price of pork, which is at present being sold surreptitiously at 30 10 40 marks pound. and tend 10 direct the sale of meat into regular channel of trade.
 The government program for the distribution of the imported food is based upon population of 45.00o,000 coming under the class of so-called self providers as differentiated from the farmers. The food ministry figures the cost Of necessary food imports at five billion marks. as compared with the recent British estimates of one hundred million pounds. or approN mately two billion marks under the pre-war exchange

HUN HOPES IF U. 5.
 AID IS DW|ND[|NC

PARIS. March IA dispatch from the American legation at Copenhagen dated March IT, and addressed to the American commission to negotiate peace. was received today. It tells Of the situation in Berlin in part as fol- lows.
 "The American military attaches agent. who departed from Berlin last Thursday. has reported that the strikes which took place recently were pri- marily due to lack of work and food. but also partly to discontent brought about by delay by the government in socialistc action.
 "The agent said that reports of bloodshed in Berlin were exaggerated. Hope of assistance from the allies and the United States is dWindling. The result is reaction. Confidence in the government is at present being under mined rapidly and there is tendency on the part of the people more and more to drift toward the left.
 "Thc military attaches agent made the statement that further revolution, which would result in the present gov ernment's downfall will result unless there is betterment Ur food deficiency and industrial conditions within six weeks at the latest. Only the imme- diate shipment of raw material and food 10 Germany. with the assurance that more will follow. will save the situation and prevent further revolu- ton and disaster. the extent of which it is impossible to forsee.'
 Since the military attaches agent left Berlin, which was March 6, there has been considerable fighting in Der lin and it's suburbs. between the gov ernment forces and spartacans. While some of the dispatches have reported heavy casualties during these troubles, others have asserted that the reports Of large number of persons killed or wounded were exaggerated.
