Our Wonderful Privilege The St. Louis Globe-Democrat believes we are living in a glorious age and in an hour when every man ought to be glad that he has an opportunity to do his bit. It says : Did you ever stop to think what it means to live, just to live, in this day? Has it ever occurred to you that in the mere fact of existence now you are privileged beyond the men of other times ? You may be one of the great ; you may be nobody in particular; but in this you are on terms of equality. All men share and share alike in the peculiar distinction of life in this period of the world's regeneration. There have been many crises in the checkered career of mankind on this old sphere of ours, and some of them have vastly influenced the welfare of humanity through the ages. To have lived in any one of these, just to have witnessed the great events that have made their eternal impress upon human life and human destinies, was a privilege unrealized, no doubt, but none the less a privi

lege. To have borne a part in them, however

small, was an exceptional distinction denied to the

greatest in the intervening and relatively uneventfulyears. For example, did you never

trunk, with a sort of envy, of the men and the women who lived in the days of our revolution? The mists of time have cast a glamour over those days, and it is not easy to realize that they were men and women not different from ourselves, going about their daily labors in much the same way, having the same mixture of good and bad, of wise and foolish. But the consequences of the deeds of their time have filled the earth and in our memories its halo encircles all who lived then in our land. We do not pause to separate the sheep from the goats. We honor the age. "These are the times that try men's souls," said Tom Paine of that day. In a larger sense and a wider sense these are the times that try men's souls. This day of ours is a greater day than mankind has yet known, and we, who are of it, will share in the honor that posterity will bestow upon it. If, then, mere existence in this time of the holocaust of nations confers a distinction, what laurels must come to him who not only lives but participates, who not only breathes the air but acts, however humbly, for the consummation of the purposes, the vast purposes, of this day of days. What are you doing you, who

read this to make your name and your deeds worthy of remembrance by those who shall come after you? What are you doing to show posterity that you felt the inspiration of the cause of mankind and responded to it with your work, your sacrifice or your blood? What is to be your share in this accouchement of a new world, and where on the interminable roll of its honored is your name to be written? These are questions that every man should ask himself, and every woman should ask herself. It is a fine thing just to have lived in these times, but it is inexpressibly glorious to have done something.

America's Blood and Breed From the Kansas City Times. THE citations of American officers and men- for gallantry and distinguished service in battle form the materials from which the history of our expeditionary force in France will be written. Mark how they read: Seriously wounded, he helped to repel a counter attack, assisted the wounded and refused to quit. With splendid courage and coolness he mounted the parapet of a trench and directed a destructive flanking fire from two automatic rifle teams opposed to seven German machine guns. He shielded an automatic rifle tirer with his body, enabling the rifleman to silence a German machine gun. Meyer was killed as the result of his action.

Shrapnel wound in lungs; remained busy under a heavy fire; walked a kilometer and a half to a dressing station to help other wounded; died. Remained at post mortally wounded until enemy was repulsed; advised lieutenant of dying condition and requested him to place additional automatic rifle as substitute for one broken. Thought only of duty when dying. Mortally wounded by a shell, led his company to the front line; wounded twice more by ma- . chine gun, but continued to conduct the operation; died. So they run, scores of them. In the briefest language, almost monotonous in terms they recount deeds of the greatest heroism and bravery; of men crawling through fire over open ground to rescue wounded comrades, of men standing to their poses after being repeatedly wounded, of privates taking over command of detachments after the officers were killed and continuing operations, of men taking the place of the fallen in exposed positions and successfully carrying out orders. And who are these men whose acts these citations characterize as "cool," "courageous," "distinguished?" Just plain, average Americans in soldiers' coats. A few months ago they were farmers, clerks, railroaders, shopmen, office workers, insurance agents, lawyers, salesmen. The job was to go out and lick Germany and they are doing it with the same regard for duty, thoroughness and conscientiousness that they exhibited in the day's work in civil life. Superficially there seems nothing in that life to train or prepare them for the danger and sacrifice of this, and yet when they come on the field of battle they are veterans. We have the right to conclude that our national life in peace time, if softening to the muscle, produced no flabbiness in the spirit. The generation called to arms had not known war, nor scarcely the recollection of it, but at the test its Americanism came out, the blood and breed of it spoke. Like the "gingerbread" furnishings of a battleship that are stripped from its decks when it

goes into action we have stripped superficialities from our

spirits at the call of war, and beneath them we have found America sound.

PINNER S TOR IE J Plaisantln offered in payment of a bill a gold piece which had a suspicious ring. "Here, ycu-ve given me one of those false coins that the counterfeiters have just ben arrested for making," said the merchant. "Impossible," answered Plalsantin. "It is dated 1863, if it were false, surely it would have been found out before this." The town council of a small Scotch community met to inspect a site for an new hall. They assembled at a chapel and, as it was a warm day, a number suggested tht they should leave their coats there. "Some cne can stay behind and watch theoi," suggested another. "What for?" demanded a third. "If we are all going out together, what need is there for any one to watch the clothes?"

The young lady who lives next door, And who has a sweetheart named Jack in the army somewhere in France, Came in all out of breath yesterday With some very disquieting news. She held a letter in her hand. "Isn't it too bad?" she sand. "General Pershing had planned a big Advance against the Germans one day And he had to postpone it.

Cows with plug hats on have not been numerous in our experience, but

they doubtless exist.

Trespassing Aviators Farmers' Latest Worry CHICAGO, June 27 It's the trespassing aviator--not the trespassing hunter that's worrying, the farmers nowadays. Growers of wheat and corn within a radius of forty-five miles of Scott Field, seven miles southeast of Belleville, have posted their farms, warning army flyers to keep out Aviators must come to earth ofttimes before they are ready to do so. Such occasions are called "forced

landings." At such a time the bird-j
