They called him! the “catcher de luxe” of the National league. But Bill went away to war. The other day he came back, — ground, a sergeant, weatherb feng ify happy. Tl ad, ’t feel.good at any time last it ver. th more little troubles and ailments than I ever had in a season before. But after I got to the army camp and began going to bed early and arising early and eating regularly and doing the} outdoor work, all those ailments disappeared.” «Now, of course, it is rather expensive to have a + just to prove’to.a‘lot of ailing folk that what/| they need is a dosg pfj4qfq and sane living to make them well. There ought to be a cheaper way of impressing us with that faet.) If Has been preached to us day in and day out, as we went along accumulating “little troubles and ailments,” paying doctor bills and getting less work and hap- piness out of our lives. Bill Killefer was that way. Now he knows better. He knows what makes “little troubles and ailments,” also, what doesn’t make them. It wasn’t left to him to take his choice; the war department made it for him. Is it possible that it will be necessary that we place a health department in command, with pow- ers to enforce the safe and sane life, the night of, rest, the regular meals, and the outdoor exer- cise? That wouldn’t be at all popular with the undertaker, the casket maker or the cemetery “>t Jaborer, would it? t ping | and) i rmy has done wonders for THE RED.INDIAN OF THE BALKANS A sick monk is.the devilish Bulgarian today; the devil a monk was he while he was waging suc- cessful war. We are getting real holy talk from that Balkan ally of the Hun just now because Bulgaria thinks that it can pull the wool over the eyes of the peace conferees and perhaps—happy thought— even succeed in getting something out of the war after all. When this barbarian Balkan nation entered the war as an ally of Wilhelm the Devil it was for two reasons: William offered the highest price. William offered the biggest outlet for Bulgarian deviltry. ff During the war between Bulgaria and Greece % and Serbia in 1913 barrels of severed ears and} fingers were found along the line of Bulgarian re- treat. There were. ear-rings and finger-rings on these relics of manhood and womanhood, cruelly slashed from captive non-combatants by Bulga- rian soldiers. Read all about it in Professor Wm. M. Sloan’s book, “The Balkans, a Laboratory of History.” No American sa ever excelled Bulgarian barbarity in the old scalping, torturing, burning- at-the-stake days. ] j a apy Unless agreement on disputed parts of the bill is reached within a few days, taxpayers of 1919} will be in the dark as to what they must pay.

For he under- | | stood the arts of the politician and practiced them, ; | tino doubt, at times. But it is his distinction, aye, | 4 his glory, that if he exercised the power and per- suasion of the great demagogue, he did so for the. aims and in the spirit of a comprehensive and, no; doubt, a profound statesmanship. In a genera- tion of politicians he was our one statesman. “Demagogue” in the original Greek sense was; a leader of the people, and in that sense Theodore | Roosevelt was the superdemagogue. _As one who understood the people; who wished: to be their) sefvant in the: highest Benge: he expounded {to them his gospel: He taught tiem wHiat they need- ed. He interpreted their best requirements. By his art of tongue and pen he gained* power, he reached great office, he ‘gained for himself the; opportunity to play the statesman. For he'had the knowledge and the wisdom of | the statesman. If his methods“ were eometinies| frantic, his use-of power wasjganp and eglid. (If he counselled. sometimes furiously, what he coun- selled has turned.out almost invariably to, be wib) dom to the degree of indispensability. He captured the imaginaticn of the Country with his force, his fearlessness, with the com- pelling quality of his personality. And he might so easily Have used what his fellow-citizens grant- ed him for shallow purposes, to vicious conse- quences. Instead, he was, taken by and large, constructive. As pure force his career will com- pare with those that have turned the history of a people or the wcrld. Not every statesman vouch- safed to a democracy is successful demagogue enough, and few demagogues are proved states- men by events. : The man changed his time; perhaps ‘he saved it likewise. How much he changed it, in how many ways of politics and ethics and custom, it will re- main for the historian fully: to ascertain. By his| changes he averted trouble, very grave perhaps. The Country, which was in the grasp of the subli- mated business man, was headed tward storm and stress. But Rcosevelt intervened. He had a com- prehension of the vastness and the complexity of the Country and of its needs. He knew infinitely more than business did. He consulted more than business, called into direction the other estates. That was a very couragedus and difficult achieve- ment. And it was salutary to the degree of salva- tion for the Republic—as nearly all of us can see now. The man was not simple. He was compounded of various qualities and contradictions. Had he been simple, we should have understood him more easily. But he would not have been Theodore Roosevelt, so adequate for his work. What stead- ied him amidst his own contradictions and the distracting problems of his time was rectitude, American rectitude, that which our greatest men have all possessed, whose lack the people instinc- tively sense, whose possession they recognize and trust. The Jatest phase of Roosevelt has been bene- 4 boarding house. There is no room in America for anybody but Americans.

Indeed, unless they are heeded, there’ will-be no American nation. Let us go forward now inthe path which this great American foresaw that we must take.

I received eight letters today from he states and-one was from you, the hird one I think. U. 8. mail is al- ways welcome and was pleased to hear-from you. Every letter that I received was full of accounts concern- ing the signing of the armistice and iow it was celebrated in the states. There must have‘been a very excited nd joyous lot of people at home. When. I. think of the way the home people received the news, I can’t help ut think of the sharp contrast be- tween all of,you at home and the ef- fect the news had on us. When we received: orders to cease fighting. we -|didn’t make any great demonstration,, but we were glad of it, and, J'll never, orget that day. Every thing was, as quiet along the front as it could be. Not a sound of machine gun or hand grenade nor roar of cannons could The sky seemed destitute of the usual airplanes buz- zing around. We were a weary lot and was well satisfied that we could once more rest in peace, without fear of high explosive shells, air bombs or gas. When the war ended we were well past the Argonne forest and were fighting along the Meuse river. The Argonne forest was the scene of the bitterest fighting and of greatest endurance against exposure, that we had to contend. with during the war. We received our, most. terrific shell- ing on this sector.

We've fought on every sector occupied _by,, the Americans. Perhaps you'll be in- terested, if I give you a brief outline of the moves we've made since we . left the states. AS you remember, we left the states from Newport News, Va., on the 22nd of April. There were seven transports loaded with troops, in the convoy. After we'd been at sea four or five days, two of the transports jammed together on a dark night and somewhat rough sea. -They were damaged to such an extent that they had to return to the states for repairs. That left only five transports in the convoy. That accident would not have occurred ordinarily, but there was no light on any of the boats for fear of detection by submarines. The night being dark and the sea rough, the boats were being tossed. about, and that was the cause of the, However, no lives were lost eso woe were fortunate. We crossed the war zone with safety and.-after, fourteen days landed in Brest, a port on the northwestern caast-of Frarice, on May 7. We rested, there ‘oan alt, barrack,,that, was built’,by ‘Napoleon, for two days. and then were placed on a train in box cars for two days and nights.

That was the “St. Mihiel drive.” From then on we were in all the ‘different sectors, Ver- dun, Argonne, Meuse I've seen enough of the war to satisfy me now.
