We are an unconquered nation!
That fact is one of the biggest as
sets that America brings into the
war. Every other country involv
ed has known its defeats. But over
the story of our national life is
written but one word—Victory !
It was our Alpha. It shall be
our Omega.
It is incorporated in our blood;
we breathe it in the air. It is the
angel that goes before us, our pillar j
of cloud by day and our pillar of
lire by night.
It has been said that this war
found us unprepared. That is true
in a material sense. But in a spirit
ual sense we had the best, the most
telling, preparation that any nation j
could ask for.
We had the heritage of Yovk-j
town, of New Orleans, of Monterey
and Chapultepec, of Santiago and:
Manila Bay, and of clean, fair
fighting on the side of the North'
and on the side of the South. We
had inspiration of Washington's
lofty spirit of "noblesse oblige'"
of Andrew Jackson's grim determi
nation; of John Paul Jones and his,
"1 have just begun to Might;" of Lin
coln, the epitome of every American
ideal; of the chivalry of Grant and
Lee.
We have the record of an tin
stained national honor; no obliga
tion has ever been a "scrap of pa
per" to us. We have never bul
lied the weak and helpless; we
have never used our strength for
aggression. We have always fougnt
fair, like men and not like mad!
•logs. And we have never been
beaten ! I
We have sometimes been outnutn-l
bered in men, in guns, in all the]
paraphernalia of war. We have j
gone against overwhelming odds.'
But we have never been beaten.
And why? Because, America has:
never taken the field that she hasj
not fought for an ideal.
The only way we can ever get a j
true light on any physical condition)
is by resolving it into the terms of|
the mental.
The moment you do this you see (
that the present war is a battle ofj
tho ohidren of light against 'lie
powers of darkness, the forces of
allied freedom and democracy i
against the Hun idea and every
thing that the word Hun stands!
for.
And Hun throughout the world!
has come to be recognized as but!
another name tor Autocracy, Mili-i
tarism. Barbarism, Brutality, In- j

of desecrating and destroying the!
monuments of the ages, of beastly I
and unthinkable cruelty to prison-j
ers, of all the loathsome savagery ■
that is included under that favorite
term, "Schrecklichkeit."
It is a stupid idea that we can
cow and frighten people into sub-!
mission, that by cruelty and ruth-1
lessness and slaughter we can ter
rorize and intimidate nations and so!
make conquest easy. It has oeen j
exploded again and again.
Babylon, with all her might and
all her persecutions, could not sub- J

as they held to their spiritual ideals, j
Spain, mistress of the world, •using
every dark device of cruelty and op-1
pression, could never overcome Hoi- 1
land's stout-hearted "Beggars of the'
Sea."
But the Hun brain still fails toj
assimilate these facts, it is obsess- j
ed with the idea of might, of hate, I
of frightfulness, and these clouds
befog its judgment. it blunders
continually. It failed utterly in its j
estimate of us. Germany never be- J
lieved in the '.irst place that we I
wttuld go into the war, or, in the!
second, that we would prosecute it!
with vigor.
She regarded us as a country
whoso only essential unity of spirit
and purpose was the chase of the
dollar. But she has found that we
are just as ready to give the dollar
as to chase it, when the c-horcl of
our national idealism is touched.
And to give not only the dollar, but
all that we have and all that we are.
Germany's insolent contempt and
arrogance has acted as a boome
rang; for it has created that very
spirit of unity and purpose which
she believed we lacked. She lias]
given the greatest boost to democ
racy known to history; for "Sec

Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
DON'T DECEIVE HIM
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am deepl> |
in love 'with a man who I believel
reciprocates my feelings. He is|
wealthy, a-nd is under the impression
that I am also. Our family consists
of six, my father earning about
sixty-five dollars per week, while I
make sixteen.
I would like to know whether it
| would be advisable for me to reveal
my true station to this man. I fear
attempting anything of this nature,
for I am quite sure I would lose him
if he knew I was poor.
If you can only win this man's love
by deceiving him, and if you feel
that his interest in you would cease j
if ho were to know that you are a|
poor girl, you are pretty uncertain
as to the basis of his feelings and
you know in your heart that he is not
sincere and that the slightest dif
ticulty would make him cease caring
for you. Just be true to yourself—
don't deceive • him. Let the man
realize that you are simple, honest
folk with tine Ideals and a beautiful
hotne life, that is infinitely more
important than mere money. If he
is a man of good caliber and fine
principles, all this will appeal to him
—not repel him. And in any event,
from a practical point of view, you j
probably couldn't deceive him for
long anyhow.

CHAPTER XV
Observations in a Belgium City
One night shortly
1 left this
' it v. our airmen
jgWßifcf.v-y i raided the place.
**| I 1 didn't venture
- 'l°ut of the houso. at
jthe time, but the
( j next night I thought
i I would go out and
v 4 ] HOe what damage
had been done.
vJr . When It became
* ark 1 left the
house accordingly
and mixed with the crowd, which
consisted largely of Germans.' I
went from one place to another to
see what our "strating" had accom
plished. Naturally I avoided speak
ing to anyone. If a man or woman
appeared about to speak to me, I
just turned my head and looked or
walked away in some other direc
tion. I must have been taken for an
unsociable sort of individual a good
many times, and if I had encounter
ed the same person twice 1 suppose
my conduct might have aroused
suspicion.
I had a first-class observation of
the damage that was really done by
our bombs. One bomb had landed
very near the main railroad station
and if it had been only thirty yards
nearer would have completely de
molished it. As the station was un
doubtedly our airman's objective I
was very much impressed with the
accuracy of his aim. It is by no
means an easy thing to hit a build
ing from the air when you are go
ing at anywhere from fifty to one
hundred miles an hour and are be
ing shot at from beneath from a
dozen different angles—unless, of
course, you are taking one of those
desperate chances and flying so low
that you cannot very well miss your
mark and the Huns can't very well
miss you either!
I walked to the station and min
gled with the crowds which stood
in the entrances. They no more
attention to me than they did to real
Belgians, and the fact that the lights
were all out in this city at night
made it impossible, anyway, for any
one to get so good a look at me as
if it had been light.
Tempted b.v German Flag
During the time that I was in this
city 1 supposed I wandered from one
end of it to the other. In one place,
where the German staff had its
headquarters, a huge German flag
hung from the window, and I think
I would have given ten years of my
life to have stolen it. Even if 1
could have pulled it down, however,
it would have been impossible to me
to have concealed it, and to have
carried-it away with me as a souve
nier, therefore, would have been out
of the question.
As I went along the street one
night a lady standing on the corner
stopped me and spoke to me. My
first impulse, of course, was to an
swer her, explaining that I could not
understand, but I stopped myself in
time, pointed to my ears and mouth
and shook my head, indicating that
I was deaf and dumb, and she nod
ded. Incidents of that kind were
not unusual, and I was always in
fear some inquisitive and suspicious
German would encounter me and
not be so easily satisfied.
There are many things that I saw
in this city which, for various rea
sons, it is impossible for me to re
late until after the war is over.
Some of them, I think, will create
more surprise than the .incidents I
am free to reveal now.
Touched Elbows With Death
It used t amuse me as I went
along the streets of this town, look
ing in the shop windows with Ger
man soldiers at my side looking at
the same things, to think how close
I was to them and they had no way
of knowing. I was quite convinced
that if I were discovered my fate
would have been death, because X
not only had the forged passport on
me, but I had been so many days
behind the German lines after I had
escaped that they couldn't safely let
me live with the information I pos
sessed.
One night I walked boldly across
a park. I heard footsteps behind
me and turning around saw two
German soldiers. I slowed up a trifle
to let them get ahead of me. It was
rather dark and I got a chance to
see what a wonderful uniform the
German military authorities have
picked out. The soldiers had not
gone more than a few feet ahead of
me when they disappeared in the
darkness like one of those melting
pictures on the moving picture
screen.
As I wandered through the streets
I frequently glanced in the cafe
windows as I passed. German offi
cers were usually dining there, but
they didn't conduct themselves with
anything like \the Hght-heartedness
which characterized the Allied offi
cers In London and Paris. I was
rather surprised at this, because in
this part of Belgium they were much
freer than they would have been in
Berlin where, I understand, food is
comparatively scarce and the re
strictions are very strict.
Often Half Famished
As I have said, my own condition
in this city was in some respects
worse than it had been when 1 w*s
making my way through the open
country. While 1 hud a place to
sleep and my clothes were no longer
constantly soaking, my opportunities
for getting food were considerably
less than they had been. Nearly all
the time I was half famished, and
I decided that I woukl get out of
there at once, since I was entirely
through with Huyliger.
My physical condition was greatly
improved. AVhile the lack of food
showed itself on me, I had regained
some of my strength, my wounds
were healed, my ankle was strong
er, and although my knees were
still considerably enlarged, I felt
that I was in better shape than I
had been at any time since my leap
from the train', and I was ready to
go through whatever was in store
for me.
CHAPTER XVI
I IJCUVC For the Frontier
To get out of the city, it would be
necessary to pass two guards. This
I had learned in the course of my
walks at night, having frequently
traveled to the city limits with the
idea of finding out just what con
ditions I would have to meet when
the time came for me to leave.
A German soldier's uniform, how
ever, no longed worried me as it
had at lirst. 1 had mingled with the
Huns so much in the city that I be
gan to feel that I was really a Bel
gian, and I assumed the indifference
that they seemed to feel. s
I decided, therefore, to walk out
of the city in the daytime, when
the sentries would be less apt to le
on the watch. It worked fine. I was
not held up a moment, the sentries
evidently taking me for a Belgian
peasant on his way to work.
Traveling faster than I had ever
done before since my escape, I was
soon out in the open country, and
the first Belgian I came to I ap
proached for food. He gave me half
his lunch and we sat down on the
side of the road to eat it.
Of course, he tried to talk to me,
but I used the old ruse of pretend
ing I was deaf and dumb and he was
quite convinced that it was so. He
made various efforts to talk to me in
pantomime, but I could not make
out what he was getting at, and X
think he must have concluded that
I was not only half starved, deaf and
dumb, but "loone.v" in the bargain.
When night came I looked around
for a place to rest. 1 had decided to
travel in the day time as well as
night, because I understood that I
was only a few miles from the fron
tier, and I was naturally anxious to
get there at the earliest possible
moment, although I realized that
there I would encounter the most
hazardous part of my whole adven
ture. To get through the heavily
guarded barbed and electrically
charged barrier was a problem that
I hated to think of even, although
the hours I spent endeavoring to
devise some way of outwitting the
Huns were many.
It had occurred to me, for in
stance, that it would not be such a
difficult matter to vault over the
electric fence, which was only nine
feet high. In college I know a ten- |
foot vault is considered a high ]
school boy's accomplishment, but
there were two great difficulties in !
the way of this solution. In the i
first place it would be no easy mat- I
ter to get a pole of the right length, |
weight and strength to serve the i
purpose.
More particularly, however, the
pole vault idea seemed to me to be
out of the question because of the
fact that on either side of the elec
tric fence, six feet from it, was a
six-foot barbed wire harrier. To
vault safely over a nine-foot elec
trically charged fence was one thing,

but to combine with it a twelve-foot
broad vault was a feat which even
a college athlete in the pink of con
dition would he ant to flunk. Indeed,
I don't believe it is possible.

not a show. It is a reality. You

WANT TO TAKE GERMAN
OUT OF SAUER KRAUT
..Hazlt'ton, Pa., May 16. —In con
nection with the statewide agitation
for elimination of the word "sauer
kraut," the suggestion was made
here yesterday that Pennsylvania
adopt the shorter Polish name for
it —"kapusta." .
It is claimed by Polish historians
hero that sour cabbage, later christ
ened sauer kraut, was known in Pol
and before the Germans ever got a
smell of it. "So let sauer kraut be
