FIVE YOUNGER THAN AMERICA
This Country by No Means Most Ju.
venlIe Of the Nations Engaged
In the War.

The average man thinks the United
States is the youngest nation that was
actively engaged in the war that prac-
tically ended with the recent signing
OF the armistice with Germany. AS
matter Of fact, it Is one of the older
nations engaged In the war.
The most recently formed nations
that have taken part in the struggle
| are Roumania, Bulgaria, and Serbia,
which were given their independence
of Turkey about forty years ago. They
had existed before, though not pro-
cisely in the limits Of today, but they
had been long under Turkish rule.
Next in youth is Germany. OF course
there has been a Germany for twenty
centuries or longer, but at first the
name described the territory In which
various entirely Independent tribes
lived and afterward it described fed.
GRAFTON so loosely Joined together that
its states were as often fighting each
other as in alliance with each other.
Still later-about fifty years ago-Ger-
many was divided Into two fedora.
| tons, but both combined against
France In 1870. The German empire
was established in 1871 and Germany
was never really nation before that
time.
Next comes Italy, which became q
kingdom in 1859 or 1860. OF course
Italian history is older than the his
tory of any other country In Europe
except Greece, but the earlier history
of Italy was the history of Rome,
which Overdowed the boundaries Of
the peninsula and conquered the great
er part of the known world. But less
than sixty years ago what is now Italy
was divided into four states. It was
consolidated about fifty-eight years
ago, though small strip Of territory
was left to the pope. This was taken
during the war between France and
Germany and the capital of the united
nation was moved to Rome.
So five of the nations taking an &C.
tive part in the war are younger than
the United States, which had existed
as an independent government nearly
one hundred years before the German
empire was established. Of course the
states of Germany are older than the
United States. but the German empire
is not.
If Greece were considered as taking
an active part in the war she would
be added to the list of juniors, being
less than a century old. France, Great
Britain, Russia. and Austria are the
only nations participating in the war
that are older than the United States
unless Portugal's participation Is con.
sidered active enough to count in the
list.

JOHN BARRYMORE rs
SUPPORTED BY GOOD
CAST NOGALES TODAY

John Barrymore's rare gifts as a
comedian are said to be .capitally
suited to the requirements of the
stellar role in "On the Quiet, !"
which will be shown at the Nogales
theatre today. Lois Meredith, a
well-known stage and screen star
who has been seen in previous Para
mount pictures, portrays the heiress,
Agnes. The character of Judge
Ridgway, father of Robert, is as
summed by Frank Losee, who has
been known to Paramount and Art
craft audiences for a long time,
while ]. w. Johnson is seen as
Horace Colt, brother of Agnes and
administrator of her affairs. Helen
Greene, Nan Christy and Dell Boone
enact the other prominent feminine
roles and Alfred Hickman. Dan
Mason, Frank Hilton, Otto Okuga
and Louise Lee complete the cast.

Jusserand's Tribute.

A very eloquent Frenchman. Ambas-

some tribute to the American army In
France: "a valiant army, the praise Of
which is on every lip; youthful good
humored, CHEEKY army, whose every
soldier is welcome in castle or hut, and
is offered just as heartily the best cake
or the last crust; an immense army
that grows easelessly-month after
month you sent over double the num-
Der of men Napoleon had at Waterloo.
Many French names written on your
map recall our presence here at the
time of your fight for independence,
chief among them that of Lafayette.
Many American names will in after
time recall the splendid part you are
taking in the deliverance Of France
and Of the world. YOUTHS Compan-

Evidence Of Ffendishness

A British prisoner taken near st.

We'll, then take him away, poor

back three times day to be dressed.
"Then the major and talked of the
successful Canadian attack and Of the

pulled one out.

French and British claims in other
districts. For instance, another Sc
cret memorandum provides for the
partitioning of Arabia between
France and Great Britain. If, at
Versailles, France and Great Britain
should balk at the treaty of 1915,
Italy's representatives may well be
expected to protest against the full
fillment of the arrangement regard
ing Arabia, and other secret under
standings which are equally import
ant to them.
One of the claims which Great
Britain is expected to make under
the shadow of the secret agreements
is the exclusion of Germany from
trade with China. Another will be
an extended sphere of influence in
Mesopotamia, including the worlds
richest oil regions. France and Italy
are expected to demand an equal par
ticipation with Great Britain in the
division of European Turkey. All Of
these agreements are mutual. They
stand or fall on the common determi-
nation of the powers that made them
to abide by them.
