selfish aggrandizement and pride
The law of human brotherliness
holds for nations as well as for
neighbors. The man who can eat
and sleep in peace while his neigh
bors are crushed beneath some
load that he could help them bear
is accursed whether he knows it
or not. So also is that nation
that puts its own prosperity, its
own selfish interests first, and
says to the rest of earth's teem-
ing millions, organized into ma
tions, Go your way down to
death through hunger and want
and pestilence and war, for all of
me!' The nation that does this
IS itself on the road to death, no
matter what staticitis say about
its armies and navies, its exports,
and the bills receivable due it
from its less fortunate neighbors.
To be an American, then, so
far as it is given US to understand
it, is to be one who, loving his
country as the one nation most
dear to him, and for whose true
honor and defense he would glad
ly die if need were, most longs to
see her, and most strives to see
her, the great, generous, unset
fish friend and helper of the suf-
fering and distressed, let them
speak what tongue or own allegi-
ance to WI at flag they may. This
is the highest type of American
citizenship we can conceive.
This what we would say stands
for 100 per cent Americanism.
Anything less than this may do
for politics and politicians, but
not for those to whom politics and
politicians are but as the small
dust in the balance. Our Dumb
Animals.

To Be An American.

What does it mean? In at
tempting briefly to answer this
question we trust it will be re-
membered that this is humane
journal. That since the day of
its first publication it has stood
not only for the just treatment
of animals but for the just and
humane treatment of ones fell
low men. 1t has never con-
sciously meddled with politics.
1t has struck hard at such evils
as race prejudice, contempt for
men of other lands, and that mar
row nationalism that loves to
parade under the stars and stripes
defaced with the inscription
my Country, Right or Wrong!"
1t has believed that there is
something greater in this world
than A m ric a, or England
greater than ever was Rome or
Greece in the days of their utmost
splendor. above all Nations is
Humanity" This has been the
conviction behind all the Amer.
can Humane Education Society
has done to reach the children
not only of this country but of
every other country where a door
could be opened for it to enter.
Its paper, this magazine, has not
been given to the use Of pious
phrases. 1t has sided with no
particular creed. 1t has tried to
say nothing that it did not believe
and mean; but it has never been
ashamed to confess its faith in
the ancient utterance that God
hath made of one blood all nations
of men for to dwell on all the
face of the EARTH" and that He
is no respecsor of persons.
Believing at least this much Of
the Christian creed, America has

adult male is about eighteen or twenty

a net LOO yards long was set up at
Douarnenez. while another was placed

A test of the machine was said to
have been made recently in Toronto
nv hiding gold coins in house, and
the device indicated the presence of
the money.
According TO the report of friends
of Mr., Cullins, the invention, If it
proves successful, will be of more
value in search such as is planned
than in indicating gold locations in
the mining districts, because in search
ing for gold-bearing veins it will not
determine the quantities or depth at
which the metal would be found, and
therefore the operators would not
know whether it would be in sufficient
quantities to justify development.
This is given as the reason of the
inventor in searching for hidden treas

pirates in the South Sea islands.
