For the first time in our ' history, the jealous guarding of .our own. the love of our traditions and oar institutions, the passion of our land and our liberty have become venial sins. "We have learned. in the last two vears a new thing in our nationul life, national propaganda.

In addition, she has a wealth of talent and a, versatility that Is remarkable. In the role of Maggie Pepper she portrays a poor department store girl with rare fidelity, yet with that air of self-assurance that is part and parcel of the character created by the late Charles Klein and acted upon the stage by clever Rose Stahl.

Scores of thou sands of American soldlura enxerly have grasped the opportunity to at tend the schools which , the army now Is providing tor all the men of the American expeditionary force, under the direction of tho educa tional, corps. , Tho post schools which ro pri mary grades of this school system are used whorever thoy can find a root to shelter them. Floundorlng through the mud of somo little ham let where American soldiers nre sta tioned, one Is likely to stumble upon such a school In full operation. An army chaplain recently chanced upon such a school the pupils of which were standing on benches because tho floor was under six inches of water and In a room dimly lighted by candles stuck In bottles. The sergoant-teacher was using. a piece of tarred paper as a blackboard. It was 11 o'clock at night and fourteen men whose military duties prevonted them from attending In regular hours composed the extra class. This little scene Is symbolic of tho spirit with which the American soldier have taken advantago of the educational training offered them by the army school system. Men In some cases are working eight, ten and twelve hours a day at military duties and thon studying at night in the post schools, tired In body but doggedly determined. In some cases they have voluntarily worked at night so' as to be allowed to attend a lecture or school session In the daytime. Illiterate men who have been taught to read and write often ask permission to tako their dog-eared primers home with them when their divisions start for America. Thousands of such men have been started on the road to education in the past few ruontf.

Policeman Adams was deputized as doputy sheriff to tako Foster to the ponltentlary because tho sheriff and his regular doputles wore all busy with othor matters. 'Adams was cautioned to keep close watch on his prisoner because of the roport reaching the sheriff that Foster had told other-prisoners In tho county Jail that he Intended to make a get away enrouto to Saloin it any op portunity offered. But It must not be mlatakably as- sumed that all tho soldier boys aro coming back "with a hlghor educa tion." The big Idea of the oduca tlonal corps Is to give a man a start and onable him to "find himself," so to speak. Many a soldier has beon a round peg In a square hole back home. The army Is helping these men to got started on tho right groove. . W LEAVE BADLY SHATTERED will prove of great value.
