TIL American soldier in the great

ment of justice, freedom and democ-
racy in the world. Analytical wise
guys have been busy ever since Amer
lea got into the war, furnishing cyni-
cal explanations Of the American fight

In spite of the complex arguments Of
the analytical psychologists who can
understand anything but the simple
sincerity of an honest man, the Amer
lean soldier did fight In war for the
establishment of those principles, and
has every intention Of working in
peace for the preservation of that for
which he fought.

the spirit that made it possible for us
to get into this war and to fight it as
We did"
DO you realize, you who read this,
what that spirit is that this organiza-
ton wants to crystalline and preserve?
I'll give you an example Of it that l
saw
A shattered church in the Marine sa-
lient during the latter part Of July: 1t
was filled with freshly-wounded on
stretcherS. The shells were whining
over and bursting about it. A slim,
big-eyed, very boyish boy was brought
In all shot to pieces. He was a very
ordinary American boy, certainly not
more than eighteen. A medical ma
jor was passing.
"Hcy, doc" the young fellow called
weakly.
"What Is 1t, son?" the major asked,
bending above him.
''Tell me, doc" the boy begged hus-
kily. "Am lam bad hit"
The major looked at the descriptive
slip with which the wounded boy was
tagged and hesitated. He knew the
young fellow had less than half an
hour Of life left in him.
"Well, III tell you, son." he said
slowly. you're in a pretty bad way,
but we're going to do all we can for
you"
The boy-who was a very ordinary
young fellow, as l have said-saw the
truth under the thin camoufiage or
kindness.
He knew he was dead. He caught
his breath quickly, closed his eyes,
and. reaching up, caught hold OF the
majors hand and held 1T tight for
q little time.
Then he sighed, opened his eyes, and
folded his arms contentedly on his
breast. He looked up at the major,
and there was the calm light OF q glad
resignation on his face.
"Well, anyhow" he whispered trl-
u%mphantly, Il guess l made good,
didn't II"
"You sure did, son." the major as
sured him.
The boy smiled again and died,
happy In the knowledge that he a
made good in his personal obligation
to establish the principles of justice,
freedom and democracy.
That's the spirit that the American
Legion wants to crystalline, to perpet-
uate, to preserve and translate into
terms Of constructive civilian effort
that will insure the continuation In
force of the principles that h SOL
der fought to save.-William Slavens

A VANISHING DREAM
 OF WORLD CONQUEST

Prior to August 1, 1914, it was the proud boast of Germany-as it was of the German people-that her armies were ready for war "down to the .e.< button."
 Every drill hall had it's lockers, each assigned to an individual, in which were stored uniforms, shirts. shoes, two pairs of socks per man and even condensed food.
 No army in the history of the world was ever so we'll equipped to move upon moments notice. It was for this reason that Germany caught Bel gium, France and England unprepar- ed, but she was superior to Italy in armament, and, besides she knew the value of whispering women" and "pessimistic peace preachers" in un- dermining the morale of her antagon- ist's armies.
 Four years of warfare, as. proved by the irrefutable evidence of pie torialized facts in ''Upder Four Flags" the third U. S.. official war picture, released through the World Film Cor poration and which will be exhibited at the. Best Theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday have shown the futility of the preparations for world con- quest made by the Central Empires.
 Even the dream of Mitteleuropa has gone glimmering.

EMMY WEHLEN SEEN IN
 SMART COMEDY DRAMA
Delightful Metro Play to be Seen a,
 The Orphe0 Theatre.

Emmy Wehlen, in "His Bonded Wife," a smart up-to-date comedy drama of society life, will be the at- traction at the Orpheo theatre today. In this picture Miss Wehlen is sup ported by cast of we'll known and distinguished players, headed bv Creighton. Hale in the leading role.
 The story is that of beautiful young society debutante who wishes to be sure that the man she marries IS Tn love with her for her own beau tiful self and not for her wealth With this idea in view she leaves ner luxurious home and lives the quiet, simple life of girl in ordinary cir cumstances. Here she meets and falls in love with a young architect who is also in love with her. She still poses as poor girl, however, and the un usual complications which arise i'm part many humorous situations-as well as many semi-tragic ones-to the clever play.
 The role of. the young architect, Phil Hazard, is played by Creighton Hale, one of the best known leading men of the stage and screen and Frank Currier, dean of Metro play CTS, is seen as Digby Morse, the fath- CT of Doris. Warda Howard plays Doris's sister and William Fredricks, the sheriff. The part of the coop is taken by William H. St.. James.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

l you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much a1kali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful: Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out-easily. and removes every particle of dust, dirt dandrutf and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it flne and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oii at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
