WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 2S.- While our army will fight in the flu ture largely with such ultra modern devices as flying machines and pois- on gasses, it will carry banners em- blaZoned with shields dragons, cross
 es. crests and all sorts of other her aldic emblems which have come down from the middle ages. Each regiment of the army is having its history re- duced to heraldic terms and embroid- cred upon it's regimental colors.
 This. no doubt, is one more step in the age-old effort to make war seem glorious As a matter of fact war is a peculiarly dirty and unpleasant job most of the time, a million or so men in this country can testify. This fact has always been recognized by rulers and governments, who have spared no effort to make it seem thrilling and heroic. It we could step back to the middle ages. per haps We would find that all the elab- crate ceremonies and oaths, the tollr- naments presided over by beautiful ladies. which were accompaniments of knighthood, were invented by the barons in order to stimulate recruit ing for the Crusades and other wars Mayhap the beautous damsel wht pinned a rose on her knight had { second incarnation in the war worlIe who shimmied with the doughboy.

Medieval Emblems for the Army

than it is now. and helmets must have been even more uncomfortable than gas masks. But distance lends hood live in the imagination as d time when the business of organized homicide was pleasing and beauti- full So from the standpoint of re cruiting it is perhaps a wise move to give our modern army a touch of the medieval hocus- poCus, to link the prosaic present with the romantic past, and remind the warrior that he is one of an ancient line of heroes, who. since the origin of government have gone forth in search of glory and come back full of holes.

The little badge worn on the arm of the soldier identified him at once with a particular branch of the service It was more impressive to refer tc the Rainbow division or the Wild cat division than to the 42nd or the l 77th.

The Passing of Harvey's Weekly

It was with emotion akin deep that received the April 23 number of Harvey's Weekly, bearing across the title page the words, Our Last Appearance" its demise expected It would maintained if Colonel Harvey had not been appointed be ambassador the Court of St. James, learn that the Weekly had been started for purpose which has been full filled. That is explained in the last
 The Weekly was started to help the allies win the war There plan to make money out of the venture In fact. Colonel Harvey money and it part of his plan count loss his contribution to the great As expressed it. the outlook black. France. Great Britain and Italy were fighting witt their backs to the wall That was in January, 1918. A mighty spring drive by the enemy impending Nine months before, the American people had compelled this government to align the republic with the forces which were battling for the preservation tion but little help had been given.
 It is in connection with this that Colonel Harvey publishes for the first time statement from the president of the United States which had been issued to the press in January thereabouts which was almost as quickly recalled. The statement proclamation he gives follows
 Tt is almost nine months since this republic driven to accept the aggression of Teutonic allies as constituting state of war; In order that our acts might give the to our words. necessarily avoided appearance of hostile measures while offered them peace. We waited until peace impossible before reluc- tantly began to prepare to defend ourselves"
 Colonel Harvey through his magazine as he from then helped along best he could without particular consideration the feelings of the mighty. since fallen and with whatever to the menace of the silly statutes enacted in dsre- gard of the constitution Week after week. he says, the puissant postmaster general sorey tempted to deny to the vile sheet he impoIitey dubbed the Weekly the of his atrocious mail service. And adds the colonel, the unrestrained attorney general had ample technical authority to put him into jail whenever he pleased.
 Although it had been the plan to discontinue the Weekly after the war Colonel Harvey de- cided that its work not done and those who followed his career during the months preceding the national election will bear testimony to unflag- ging spirits The election over Colonel Harvey ex- presses the situation follows:
 So: the war is won; the league is dead; autocra- cy is no more; the nncompoops out"
 It is interesting the way in which the public received the Weekly. Of the first issue 260 copies were sold. Just about year later number 17,611; the last week of October the actual net sale exceeded 42,O00
 Of course, the Weekly could survive without the presence of Colonel Harvey. n years the republic may again be in such shape that it's cor returned may resume the rod.

"Pittsburg Plus"

The explanation of MT. Gary and his attempted justification "Pittsburg Plus plan of fixing prfces on steel products will not, think, prove venting competition within industry of main saining for preserving the effect, if not the form of monopoly.
 It is Pittsburg is the center of the steel and iron industry only in the that at pres ent more and iron produced there than any where else in the country. If there other producinr points the "Pttsburg Plus" would natur- ally be justified
 But the steel industry spreading. Gary, Indi ana and Birmingham Alabama, are both nearer to the deposits iron than Pittsburg and both of then, ought to produce steel and iron cheaper than the plants Pittsburg.
 Every great producing center should be recog- nized as base of the industry and the prices from each noint would be the price at each plus. Then naturally the territory of whole country would fau into regions which could be served the most naturally adjacent territory and it's nfu- ence would extend to point where it would meet the influence of another base
 some regions. those the bases, would of c,rrse enjoy advantages of prices that would be denied others more remote from the bases but their -,ox,u,ent would not be at the expense of those senrived of it. This "Pittsburg plus plan is not ,uhlic but is only allow to steel manu- f.curers at plants extortonate prices for their products

1.-THE LAST NIGHT"
By pr. William E. Barton

So it seems that Rostand did not close his dra- matic career with "Chanticeer' in which Maude Adams, most feminine actresses inappro- priately, but with singular effectiveness staged for male part He had previously risen the very zenith of fame as the author of 'Cyrano de Bergerac" and did not decrease that fame by his authorship of "Chantcleer."
 Now, the surprise of the literary world, it is made known that ten years ago. in 1s11 he completed another great work combining poetic power and dramatic force It has yet been published in English but advance descriptions of it in of the literary journals.
 It is called The Night of Don Juan"
 Everyone knows what of Don Juan He Hbertine most reckless And might expect his last night to be one of deep shame and
 
 But the satire of the poet found in this that he denies Don Juan any such luxury of repentance. The which collected from the eyes of women he has wronged, and which he thinks with vanity he would substitute for penitence, might be him cooling drink in he'll found to have been shed over the loss of bat, or over trivial disappointment He has had small share in any of them. And TOW there is denied him love, but the capacity for loving That of which he is deprived is that which he has deprived himself
 Rostand did write a moralist He would have. resented the idea that any such purpose was been expected of him.
 But he displays his insight into human nature and life when the devil awards the punishment to t Don Juan. He does not make Don Juan great villain, but consummate fool. that!
