THE HEROES OF DAILY LIFE.
When people hear someone spoken of as a hero, they expect
to see a person of a dashing and conspicuous type, who is accus
tomed to doing thrilling acts and to receiving applause. But
most heroes are not of that typo. When General Pershing looked
around for a man to serve as bodyguard for the unknown dead at
the Armistice day exercises, it is significant that he picked out a
practically unknown man. Sergeant Woodfill of Kentucky, who is
so modest that he now says lie is "sick and tired of being shown
off like a circus pony."
The ability to do heroic acts results from a highly developed
sense of duty. The man with that sentiment, when he is con
fronted by a duty, feels that he must do it at all hazards, and he
would rather give up his life than prove false.
The world is full of such unsung heroes, and every regiment
that went overseas has men of its own who kept doing those
things. These fellows, most of them now retired to private life,
kept on doing their duty in the same brave, faithful, and patient
way, and they ask no recognition and no plaudits.
When war was declared they had a duty to perform that
called for the true spirit of patriotism not that kind of patriotism
that requires the draft of a furnace to make it active. Millions
of brave men threw themselves into the struggle against German
supremacy, and thousands who performed deeds of valor will
never be known. It seems to be the spirit of the American soldier
not to glory over brave deeds performed for his country on the
battlefield, no matter how appreciative the world may seem to be.
They are satisfied at having done their best and recognition of
their services is left to those who remained at home, whom, it can
truly be said, will never falter in contributing to their every wel
fare and thrusting upon them the honor they are justly entitled to
receive.
America will not be forgetful of the patriotism of her millions
of boys who answered the call at a most critical hour.

result of a mimcy-rai.xing drive, but as a spontaneous expression
of sympathy and good will toward the children of devastated
Franco. The coming to America of Marshal Foch, beloved almost
as much on this side of Hie Atlantic as in his own land, altered
the idea somewhat anil made the committee seek to complete the

returns to France. Since the school contributions come in t'lowly

in the specific project under discussion. The whole plan is a
happy one, honoring the heroes of two friendly nations ar.d
