history were best summed up by Ed
ward A. Freeman when he said:
"'Salona the parent and Spalato

become meaningless to any one who
has a decent knowledge of the history
of the world. But the name of Trau
will probably always be purely mean

the female heart over here that the
returning Tommy will find it difficult
to efface. All the English girls are
greatly interested in the United

more easily obtained, no doubt there
will be an exodus of the British beau

And then the American girl will
have to act quickly, for the English
girl is flatteringly respectful in her

American man may find it more sooth-
