What is it that makes America

What is it that makes America
great?
King Albert believed that the
strength Of America lay in her prom
1se to the children of the poor. This
is only one of our sources of strength.
America is a great nation because
we believe in indiyidualism, because
/ the law is for all of us, and SO are our
opportunities, because each genera
ton may be. supported and developed
by the sons OF poor men.
Our controlling passion is to be
rec and proud PEOPLE. And next in
Importance is our desire to be square.
We do not harbor hatred. The poi
sons of suspicion, fear, envy, relent
less hate of other nations do not flow
through our veins We do have a hat
red of principles we believe to be
wrong -autoeracy, oppression, broken
faith.
We survive and prosper according
to individual initiative. It IS a COM

Of proyerty aud leave great fortune

We are the most generous of the
people of the world. the least material

Yankee Sailors LED World.

A foremost hand on Yankee East
Indiaman was the best paid, best fed,
and most competent sailor In the
world regarded by coasters, fishermen,
whalers and man-o'war's-men as the
top dog of his profession, according to
the MARITIME History of Massachu-
setts'' A Yankee shipmaster, In l04O,
was the worlds standard in ability
and in conduct. The Massachusetts
merchant marine was commanded Tor
the most part by men of high charac-
ter and education; navigators who
could work Iunars as well as Bowdltch
himself, and who inherited all the
practical seamanship of the old school;
neutrality-suspicious. who owned part
of their vessel, and had full response
bility in trading.

FRANCIS r'' of the American
people. In fact, l believe that such
Indifference does not exist. The ma
ton is observing with deep interest
the progress of events abroad and mas
given many evidences Of readiness
to aid in restoring normal condltions
there whenever it is seen that suit
able opportunity is afforded.
Our people have naturally been re-
luctant to act while the European ma
lions still fail to display the VIII 20
accent the only terms on which re-
Mobilization is possible, and to aDan-
don their mutual hatreds and ais
trusts, their persistence in prepare
tion for further warfare, and their
destructive political and financial
policies. Such policies have so weak
ened the credit of some of the con
tinental nations that the task OF AID
ing them seems futile until 1t is clear
that these policies are discredited ana
disowned by them.
Although it seems clear from the
record Of recent years that America
more perhaps than any other country,
has been and will continue to be able
tn adjust itself without serious dis
aster to the conditions created by
European depression, and has in its
own vast domestic market and ID
other non-European markets an out
let for its products adequate to main
tain a fair degree Of national pros
perity, the fact remains that it is very
definitely to the selfish interests OF
the United States to have Great Brit
ain and the European continental
countries regain their normal pros
perity at the earliest possible date.
They normally absorbed between Gu
and 70 per cent of American exports.
but recently have been taking less
than so per cent.
Moreover, the rich contribution
which Europe has made in the past
to the upbuilding of other parts OF
the world, including the United
States, would seem to create genu.

sources of skill and equipment for the
production of useful commodities in
demand by all nations, and loss con
tinues while these resources are limit
ed in their use by poverty and by ad

That the share of the United States
in this loss is relatively small should
not preclude an active interest in
every promising effort that may be
made to restore the European nations
TO economic and financial health.

"cave-man," lola Phillips
didn't decide she really loved him
until after he and a pal dragged
her into stolen automobile and
whisked her away to their wood
land rendezvous.
But the romance was short, for
after two weeks police found her
in a lonely shack in the wilds of
Newaygo County. They arrested
her two companions and returned
17.year-Old lola to her parents for
the proverbial spanking.
When the officers arrived lola
was keeping house. Her two com.
panions were out hunting food. A
big dog was her sole companion.
She had suffered severely from
the cold. Her clothing was dirty
and her hair disheveled.
lola admits she wanted to escape
the attentions OF other ardent adj
mirers and when Russell Thomp-

whom she fed, told her he was a
"cave-man," she couldn't resist
any longer.
