Hy carrier, city month; 3 months, “The Garden of the Brave” BY SIR JOHN FOSTER FRASER KNOW that in the United States, just as in Great Brit ain, thoughts often travel to the torn and tortured bat tlefields where the poppies bloom in summertime above the dead. I know that many generous Americans are willing to provide money to restore the broken villages and lift up again the prosperous towns. In France it is sometimes > thought it would be better if over that sad: region a noble, » silent forest grew as sentinel. But there comes to me a " yision of that tearful land becoming bright as a beautiful —the garden of the brave. i In my vision I see miles and miles radiant with the ly fleur de lys nodding above the plains where over a nillion brave Frenchmen are taking their long but glorious rest. I see the blooms of Belgium and of Italy, and oh! I see great bunches of American golden rod marking the “spot where your own brave lads do sleep away front home. 5 In my garden of the brave there is a mighty avenue, all gold and crimson, maple trees making splendid sepulchre the boys who came from Canada. And I find sheaves wattle so that we shall know what gallant Australia Yonder is a stretch of green, vivid, soft, all of sham- tk, providing a coverlet over the Irishmen who played ir true part. Oh, and in my garden I see roses, the roses Lancaster and York, so that we may bow our heads where 500,000 young Englishmen sleep side by side. in my garden of the brave I see masses of purple ither; and standing amid it I hear the sound of the pipes, the pipes are ever to be heard amongst the heather lich cloaks the long slumber of my own fighting High- men. That is the vision I often behold. It can never ‘real, and yet I would not shut it out. The Florentine sang, “Sweet and fit it is to die for 's country!” But may I say that sweeter still and far fit it is to live for one’s country. And you Ameri- and we British will be best living for our countries ‘we make our lives worthy of the high opportunities which before us today, making peace secure and abiding and the knot of friendship between our two great peo- les, which, please God, shall not be loosened until the very y of judgment. ‘ Statesmen say that America will not enter into an ‘alliance with France to protect her from Germany. may be no “scrap of paper,” but the Hun will un- derstand the situation just the same. hey’re Your Cars; Keep Em Clean | What man would throw a lighted cigaret on the Per. rug at home?

Murphine should have that opportunity. Councilman Thomson raises a most untimely agita- tion for a six-cent fare at this time. Just because the state public service commission raised the fate on the Rainier valley line, is not any reason why the municipality _ Should do the same. Hl According to Murphine, the raising of fares in other cities has not always been productive of greater revenue. prsktde In many cases, it was followed by decreased patronage. In Seattle, moreover, the city line has a fair chance of paying on a five-cent fare. If Murphine can make a success of the street railway 3 item on a five-cent fare, that should satisfy the council. sx. t i far, nothing has transpired to justify the council's inter-| ference with the Murphine plans. The conference can’t listen to Korea’s plea for free- dom without starting a rumble in a lot of scattered ter- ritory now kept quiet by the world’s greatest navy. Outlawing the booze business helps some, but we could accomplish even more by outlawing the munitions business. The politician is right when he says that the people are the government, but wrong when he assumes that he is the people. If a man is a menace to society, it is usually because he hasn’t been getting a square deal or because he has a square head. The reason Japan will stay in the league in spite of racial discrimination is because staying out would mean racial isolation. If it becomes fashionable for nations to deal honor- ably with one another, perhaps individuals will adopt the habit. It is not true that a man out of a job isa hobo. He may be a king. If the Huns sign the peace treaty, that will settle everything except the future of Europe und Asiq. i eee But, nail, as th I kne arpenter remarked when he hit the just exactly what I'm driving at.” THE THIRSTY FIRST durst of July first accurst, the thirty-first thirsty curst, oh, first of thirst first of thirety oe dentist remark So does Oh The sing who Oh firsts a . curst But, as the “The angry girl who has man teeth. good his the But thru as the business man “This is my remarked, after going read letter day.” the mail “GOOD MISTER KNIGHT” — BY Day him; he's till x of EDMUND VANCE COOKE drops in to cal 80 bright shades of evening fall Knight N d and fair But Knight has such a somber airt He Yet they approve For they drives my dearest friends away, him they're Knight!
