The larg jt war order yet pin’ *1
is men.iuned by the St. Dorns star
as follows: "Have a Heart,—Someth) ly

cen.ly and usked them kinuly to fur

papers of all the articles published
during the lust yea# in regard to I he

A feeling utmost of pity arises ?or tl.jjc
who have to round sir. then days
wuh old Im.he they have had since
Infancy.
A country resident nenr Isindon
writes to the Dundon Times that the
first visit) of Zeppelins were heralded
by the loud warnings of pheasant i,
partridges, horse*, cows uni sheep but
that lately the roar of uei iuI engln -s
has been so common that the buds
end animals un the place have be
come accustomed to them and now
keep quiet when the airships op.
preach.
Marvelous feats are becoming so
common In these days of exigency
that they oftin full to excite ths ad
miration which Is there duo. Captain
tie lieauchamps aeroplane flotillu on
Saturday crossed Alps and descended
on Munich In Southern Germany
for the purpose of dropping bomb)
and possibly to reconnoitre. Hav
ing accomplished its object the *tir
fleet went southward probably for a
haven of rest in northern Italy.
From France to Munich was close
to 600 miles which had to be made
In a single flight over neutral and
hesbJe territory. From Mujuoh to
Italian territory could not be less
than J00 miles and possibly as much
as 400. So that the aerial Journey
of these French planes at a high
altitude over the Alps and in a cold,
windy season with at least a few
pounds of explosives as cargo in ad
dition to the crews and the fuel for
lie ioug trip becomes another of the
remarkable exploits to be added to
the list of wonders which th* war has
brought about.
A noteworthy thing in ootmeotije
With the journey is that the hews
of it was given to the world from
Berlin. The raid did no damage. As
a military' exploit It had no value so
far as we know. But Berlin thaughl
it noteworthy enough to be sent hv
wireless to this country. From
which the inference follows that (he
trip of the trench aviators excited
aum.ration in the German breast and
with true sportsmen spirit, apprecia
tion of an trueny echivement was
duly expressed by heralding tile
e\a.nt to the neutral world.
One or two things connected with
the disap.ch sent to tne cugget n
main to be elucidated . Now, for Ic
s.ance^ could the Germans know
.hat the flotilla was commanded by
Captain de Beauchamp? The dis
patch madt no m ntion of any of
the planes b ing brought to earth
and yet the Germans knew about
the fleet's leadership. The Germ.m
spy si su m is of course most thor
ough and they know many things
the source of which they do not di
vulge. They may have brought Cap
tain de Beauchamp down and fall id
for reasons of their own to say so,
or they may have fore-known aJ
about his tr.p from their own sources
of information. In either case the
French aviation corps has a re
markable exploit to its credit.
AMERICAN “GENEROCITY" TO
W if- SUFFERERS .
It seems time that America ceased
laying the tUuer.ng unction to her
suul that she is the benevolent healei
of wounds caused by the war. We
are not even "feeding Belgium,"
so many have fondly thougnt. Count
ing our en.lre population at one
hundred million, we have given about
10 cen ts per capita. New Zealand, her
self, at war, has g.ven to Belg.'tm
at the rate of *1.25 per capita. Brasil,
Argentina, and other South American
countries have given more than we
—*f>-, ‘, rr our numbers and
ii "we have contri
TiWd about one-tenth of the tota
sum that has b.en needed to give to
each • ihan Beig.an—man, woman,
and child one third as much food
per day as is considered necessary
for a soldier, trance and England
have given the other nine-tenths." I
With cold statements like these, |
the New York Times strips off the !
mask of our self-complacency, and j
adds that “if America hart given
thirty times as much to this one
turd as she tas given, the familiar!
expression, "America is feeding Bel
gium, would be based on tact In
stead of on a superstitious, the reit- !
cation of which has given a sort of
emotional satisfaction even to those
i us wno have not contributed any- (
th tig to any fund. In all the two
years of Europe's agony we may
hi.vc given torty millions, so the
Times writer estimates, countldug
the two-year totals of the chief
bureaus and commissions of relief
"with a big guesswork allowance
added for unrecorded Individual of.
ferings and the collections made by
hundreds of minor organizations,
many of which are practically ne- !
ghgible factors.” Here follow some
figures on Ihe proportion of Amiri-!
can giving to Americans means:
"The foreign trade of the United
States for the two years of the wai
has amounted !o nearly eleven hi:
Hons of dollars (*10,941,975,000). it
wuh *6.525,000,000 In the fiscal year
)ust ending, and *4,416,975,000 In the
first year of the war. Most of this
trade, which breaks all records of all
countries, was, of course, with Eu
rope. Its total volume is 275 tlm^s
the amount we have contributed
to tho relief of suffering in Europe.
Our exports for the two war years
have been over *7,000,000,000, and
of course, a vast amount of that
represents our sales of munitions of
'va-i** Our bill to foreign countries
for explosives alone In the two years
has been *514,000,000, about thirteen
millions of non-combatant men, wo
men, and children whose lives hsvo
boen devastated by the use of thoso
same oxplosivs. One corporation
this year over *150,000,000 net profits
more than three times os much as
we have given to war relief In two
years, the two most prosperous
years In the history of this country.
