"Aftet the aimistice was signed the
Americans occupied Fohlenz.
Thus Field Marshal Haig in his of
ficial report gives the only recognition
he accords the soldiers that saved
him from disaster when his “hack vva *
to the wall" in Flanders and he wa*
crying for help. It is his only men*
tion of the men who* after the debaele
ift the spring of 1!MS* were the first*
with thi* aid of the Australians to
break the Hindenburg line says the
Philadelphia I .edger.
XVe had it in mind to voice with
some bitterness the growing resent
ment and scorn of Americans fot the
conspiracy of silence that seems t«*
have throttled all generous words in
the throats of men who boast of thep
fair play as if it wore something akin
to a religion. Put the words that
surge within us to be uttered die on
our lips.

with the barbarians of Prussia. l'ho>e
wore in>piring days and t• blood still
thrills when ono thinks of the Mitish
army. “That first hundred thousand”
that crossed the channel to battle for
the foemen who had measured swords
with them in every century from bn
for the middle age> down almost to
our own times. It was an alliance to
make the heart throb and tin* eyes
gtow dim. What names fired the brain
with immortal memories! One ? coined
to see the lilack Prince and the long
line of warrior kings flaming through
the clouds to lead that dazzling ho.t.
And on the other short one seemed
to glimpse the ancient chivalry o
Fiance and at their head I'ayard and
Joan of Arc in blazing armor.
\nd then came Mons and Charleroi
and the terrible retreat of the Cal'ic
Celtic and Saxon hosts. I heir swords

Fighting for the best there was in
civilization-for the ideals that •' t. 11
ennoble the hearts of the men of
Merry England- for liberty and lor
honor, for the things that make hon
est and good men grip hands who* *
ever rivers of England* on the burning
Africa sands or amid the fata! snows
of the Anarctic.
We had it in our hearts* we say* t >
utter wo 1*1 Is that sear and kill. Hut let
it pass.
Tomorrow perhaps they will nee 1
our aid again. Tomorrow* perhaps*
the Stars and Stripes will start east
ward from th<* bridgehead at Colder.:
to lead the way for our men fightin*;
besides the men of England and or
France. And if that high call shall
come our soldiers will think- not of
the petty generals of England, hut tha
ho roes of Mons and Charleoroi* ot tb *
"thin red line” that held the coast o'
Flanders when the tidal wave of Hun*
dashed forward in vain- of tho lnnd;nr*
at the Pardanelles* of the campaign;
in Mesopotamia, of the cool intrepid
ity which ruled the oceans while the
ships of England were sinking on ev
ery hand- struck to their hearts by tho
sneaking torpedoes; ot N pres. M«* -
sines* Vim.v Kidge and Camhrai* of th *

and Ostend.
The kaiser spoke of the “con
temptible little army” of the Britons
but he was thinking- perhaps- of Eng
land's contemptible little generals.
Had Great Britain- in her graves:
crisis, been blessed with great gener
als her army would not have stood
with its hack to the wall in the spring
of 1!>1 S and there would have been no
necessity for an American army to do
even so slight a thing as occupy Cob
lenz after the armistice was signed.
The U. S. Saturn will probably b»
in Seward on July 4th and yet not
even a local baseball team has boon
organized for sport.
When the nice warm days of June
do fall upon one, there comes that
sneaky longing- for the great out
doors and the slacking from the wo»k
— and who does not have that feeling ?
And can one blame anybody for hav
ing it? The call of the wild is instinc
tive in the human race as in the ani
mals.
Every business man in Seward- in
fact every resident can help boost
Seward and the Kenai Peninsula ?»v
enclosing in every letter sent to firms
or relatives- a copy of “Facts” which
has been issued by the Seward ( hamh*
or Commerce. Keep boosting all the
time- right up and down the line.
A GOOD CREED
The Dawson Daily News gives the
following as Dawson’s creed:
“I believe in Dawson. I believe in
Dawson-sold goods and I buy them.
Because my interests arc here; I can
get more and better values; the com
munity which is good enough for me
to live in is good enough for me to buy

J A P A N KSE A PPRECI AT K
(iOOD POINTS OF AMERICANS
TOKIO* Juno 18— Japanese appre
ciation of good points of Americans
finds expression in a collection of per
sonal comments published by the Ji*
sugyo, a commercial periodical. The
following are representative extracts:
Dr. K. Miyake - “Japan has much
to learn from America. The unanimPv
with which America entered the wa.\
and the patriotism which her sons
demonstrated on the firing front and
behind it is worth studying. The next
thing which Japan has to study about
the American is his enterprising spirit
in social affairs.”
Dr. T. Xakajima— “The Japanese
are exclusive, cunning and intriguing.
Long years of feudalism are to be
blamed for this. In contrast with li
the Americans are downright by na‘ •
ure. That they have a wonderful pow
er of assimilating those who come
near them may be traced to this Am
erican openness of heart.’
T. Shidachi. formerly President of
the Industrial Rank— “There a»o
many commendable traits in the Am
erican , but his spirit of social service
is to me the most remarkable. He is
a firm believer in Christianity but h<*
does not believe in that religion mere
ly for peace of mind but in order to
contribute towards making society
better and the world more livable by
influencing the thought of others.
Firm in his religious belief, he is dar
ing to a sublime degree, and never de
spairs. lie is optimistic, and defies all
obstacles with a cheery face.”
Mr. Fliruya, Director of a trading
company— “The Americans are out
spoken. Their burning desire is to see
themselves a great nation in accord
ance with their own conception of
greatness.”
