Together with the Americans already serving in the British and French armies, these additional units will shortly give a total of 100,000 Americans in France, equalling five German divisions.

We recommend to the attention of Americans this appraisal, made by a Government three years at war, of what has been accom- plished or started by a new belligerent in fifty days. It certainly gives us no excuse for slackening our activities, But, on the other hand, it is some relief amid the scoldings of a home faction inces- santly bidding us to be ashamed of them. a ny Italian troops on the Austrian front seem bent on supplying the italian Mission now being welcomed in the United States with timely and agreeable material for converse, —.4 THE VETERANS. 1) eee DAY, 1917, finds this nation entered upon the most momentous war in its history. The thoughts of many Americans to-morrow will naturally go back to dwell with a particular seriousness upon that other great conflict with which the day is associated and which, for living men and women of this nation, fong represented, in memory or immediate tradition, war at its rend- ing, exhausting, soul-dismaying worst. The past three years have shown us that whatever war has done it can do worse still. It is into the bloodiest and most terrible of all wers that we now project our national strength.

Oc ' RALLYING THE RUSSIAN ARMY. ;SPNDICATIONS that practically all factions in revolutionized Russia are now co-operating at least to the extent of concen- trating much needed pressure on the army are encouraging. It began to look for a time as if the attractive prospect of dividing up the land back home might be allowed to drive all idea of fighting from the minds of Russian soldiers at the front, Faction leaders and army officers now unite in urging the Russian troops to save Russia by rallying to the common cause of the Allics with the watchword “Forward.” As Gen. Dragomiroff puts it: “An advance upon the enemy ts an immediate necessity The enemy is taking advantage of our passivity to leave this front open and send forces westward. The French and Britis: are honestly doing thelr duty as our allies. They are saving our new freedom, which otherwise we would lose. But soon their advance must wear itself out and then there will be no one to help us.” It would be foolish to assume that new Russia has yet found herself. Yet it is a hopeful etart in the right direction when even the Socialist and labor elements begin to recognize that Russian national integrity and credit can only be maintained by pushing on to final victory in the field, Fighting together in a common cause is a great consolidator of parties and factions.

It was Bauer, Mayer Anselm Bauer. His Cather was a poor shopkeeper in the Judengasse, at Frank- fort-on-Main. Poor as he was, the father hed high hopes for his son, He planned that the boy should become a rabbi. Mayer obediently studied to prepare himself for the holy vocation. But his brain was not in his work. Neither was his heart. Within him the commercial traits of his ancestors burned with a fire of real genius. To shorten a long story, the bright career planned for Mayer by his father collapsed. And among many of the neighbors in the Judengasse the young man was sneered at as a fallure—as a youth who had high chances and who had let himself lose them. Mayer found a job in the local Ghetto, and seemed destined to live, to the end, as an ill-pald tofler—as a Failure, who must henceforth be com tent to scratch along on a bare livelihood. But the fire of commercial genius in the man could not be quenched by hard work and poor food. He managed to win employment, a Iittle later, in a Hanover banking house.
