Of course they did they are Americans. , They met the finest of the enemy's troops in a ter rific hand-to-hand struggle. They used their guns their bayonets their bare fists. Every American soldier went after his man desperately, fearlessly, persistently, with one great driving purpose to whip that Prussian Guard, to silence its machine guns to win ! It's a pretty good way to fight this American way. It wins battles over there, it will win a splendid victory over here if we fight when we fight if we buy Liberty Bonds to our utmost.

Of all the buildings which flp'nir Whitehall only the Horse Guards, the Banquet hall and the Old Admiralty existed a hundred years ago. The gov ernment offices are all new. Within living memory the house of parliament, the Thames embankment and all Its flanking buildings, St. Thomas hospital, the National gallery, South Kensington museum, the Tate gallery, the law courts, all the big ho tels and even the present Mansion house have been built, whilst nearly all the banks and "great piles of com mercial offices in the city are new, although the thoroughfares In which they stand are very old. A hundred years ago there was no High Holborn, no Shaftesbury avenue, no Charing Cross road, no Regent street or, at most, It was just In the making and no Trafalgar square. Kings way and Aldwych are streets of yesterday. Moreover, such great centers of pop ulation as Putney and Islington and Hampstead and Edmonton were little outlying villages quite disconnected with London, whilst West Ham and Willesden had no existence except as names, and places like Shepherd's Bush and Wormwood Scrubs might have been in the backwoods of Aus tralia or Canada for all the impor tance they represented. A century ago, too, the railroad stations which number about 2,000 had no existence whatever.

The other night we chanced to ask an eminent physician of New York city his opinion as to the number of people who were truly happy. His rather dogmatic reply was: "About one In a hundred." And this was not the opinion of a pessimist, but of a most radical op timist We wonder if this opinion Is shared by others. It does not mean, of course, that ninety-nine people out of a hundred are deeply unhappy. That would be absurd. Bat there is no doubt that a great many people are quite unhappy a'gocd deal of the time, perhaps not half the time, but enough rather to cloud their lives. We should like to know, the opinion of physicians generally. More and more people go to the doctors to tell them their troubles. The physician of today takes the place of the con fessional of yesterday. . Then, too, there is the new applica tion of psychology to the field of medi cine the so-called psycho-analysis, which is so rapidly taklcg Its place as an Important part, literally, of the medical pharmacopoeia. This new sci ence has given a wonderful insight into our sub-conscious selves and re veals how far that sub-conscious self really dominates our lives and deter mines the amount of happiness which we really get out of this confused welter of existence. vs. Lizzie Hutchinson and Shepard Hut- i chinson, her husband, sole and only j heirs at law of Martin Allen, de ceased, Defendants. - i The State of Kansas,' to the above i named ' defendants, and each of them.

He adopted some of the methods of the blacks and his bags of big game were remarkable. The na tive Africans donned the skins of ani mals with horns, head and all, when hunting.

FRANK CRANE America is coming of age. The nation's hundred years of democracy have been but the preparation for its manhood. It is a cheap jibe to say that America was unprepared for this war. It has had the mightiest preparation in the history of nations. For over a century Destiny has been preparing in this New World a spirit of triumphant Democracy. Such a spirit cannot be made. It must be grown, inbred. On this Western Continent Destiny has been training the young Galahad for the rescue of the world. Nature has an antidote for every poison.

Every one of our wars has been for the same purpose: to liberate the common man. The Revolution of 4776 was to get the privileged class of England off the backs cf the American Colonists who were redeem ing this wilderness. The War of 1812 was to rescue Ameri can seamen from oppression. The Mexican War was to liberate the settlers of Texas from the whimsy cruelty of Mexico. The Spanish War was to save the people of Cuba from the tyranny of the Spanish Government. Every time our army and navy have gone forth it has been to clean up some filthy autocracy. . But all of our warj have been but a prep aration for our present task. We did not realize it. No man foresees his destiny, no nation foresees its mission. Yet the life of every nation, as of every man, is k plan of God, God has been piling up riche3 on tins continent until we are the wealthiest nation in the world. Ha has been sharpen ing our inventive skill and our business ability. Our training has been intensive. Now God says, "America you are come of age. All I have done for you is to prepare you for the present conflict, for your real work. Go forth and make the world a decent place to live in." At this time every son of America is called upon to do his utmost. The slacker is a traitor. We are sending men across the ocean, men who are physically and mentally the pick cf the world, an incomparable army, out the men at home must hack them up.
