is the speech of the plain people every
where throughout the United States
these days. 1t is heard in the hotels, on
the street corners and in the railroad
trains as one travels about.
1t is a record of history that in the
English Parliament long ago dis
tinguished Earl said: '"This half measure
lis the worst of all and reminds me of the
Gunpowder Plot. The Lord Chamberlain
was sent to examine the vaults under
meath the Parliament House, and returned
with the report that he had found five

that he had removed ten of them and
hoped the remainder would do no HARM"

"The Boche is there and there and
there. He'll hear you" And he might
have ut that, for the neryy band had
sneaked through the single gap in
the Boche ring. But they had estab-
iished contact with Whittlesey.
Got Valuable information.
One of the Whittlesey command had
just killed a German officer. He had
found upon him a map of the whole
neighboring woods, drawn up to the
last minute. 1t revealed the whole
problem that the Americans had been
trying for days to solve in the dark.
Delehanty was the regimentaI intelli-
gence officer. He sent this message
back to the colonel.
"Have Information of great impor-
lance. Shall / remain command X
company or return? Am with Whit
tlesey."
And the answer came back:
Return"
SO that is why Delehanty happened
not to be with the Whittlesey bat
talon the next night when they were
cut of for good and when they stayed
cut OF for nearly a whole week. But
the map he brought back from that
dead German officer was the map that
enabled the American brigade finally
to smash through to the ravine where
Whittlesey's men were fighting and
dying. Incidentally, IL was the map
that helped the Americans. too, to
go far beyond. It was his nerve that
took him through for the last con-
nection with Whittlesey. 1t was
his appreciation of the informa-
ton he happened on that sent him
back again over the perilous trail.
and IL was that information that event
nally got Whittlesey OUT of his death
ravine.

much in keeping things in check. He
encouraged the race much by saying in

here as in France when there would be
no color line and then the fatherhood
Of God and the brotherhood Of man
would exist. The symposium was un-

an excellent paper. Mesdames W. p.
