)Mdon. —"I had the good fortune
at & station on one of our main rail
ways a day or two ago to see a por
,tion of those American legions who
are now rushing across the Atlantic
to our aid, and it may be worth
while to record the feeling they
groused in one who, as it happened,
saw them for the first time," writes
1 §. correspondent to the Times. 'lt
■jjris," he continued, "a striking and
gjjheartening sight. Here were these
te-ave fellows, whose average age
hmed to be about 25, men from
Kw Jersey, from Tennessee, and
iptxas, beyond the Mississippi s roll-
Ac flood, from California and the
Wuciflc seaboard, who had traveled
Jiany thousands of miles by lana
and sea from their far-distant homes
—which some would never see
again—full of vigor and elan, mus
cular and well set up. alert and in
telligent, like a band of hardy ath
letes, eager only to reach the neia
of battle in Flanders or in i rartce.
As material for a powerful army,
they seemed to lack nothing- Tne>
had Just landed from the ships
that brought them across the Atlan
tic within a few hours; but no resi,
no pause; they seemed to grudge
every moment that delayed th
from the great task on which their
hearts were set. Seventeen trains,
containing 600 or 700 men apiece,
were to pass at 6tated intervals dur
ing the day and night; and this was
enly a portion of those who had ar
rived. 'We ought,' said one of the
gallant fellows, 'to have been here
two years ago; but here we are no ,
and thousands more are following
us.' 'We mean business, said an
other; 'we are out to win. One felt
one was standing in the presence of
one of the great achievements of
history. Xerxes is renowned Be
cause he led his Persian hordes
across the Hellespont to the attacK
of Greece. .
Hannibal is handed down to fame
because he led his Carthaginian
levies across the heights of Mount
Cenis, and reached the gates of
Rome. Caesar himself is held to
have done great things when he in
vaded the shores of Inhospitable
Britain, but what were these things
to the transport of millions of men.
first long distances by land, and
then 3,000 miles across the severing
ocean, in spite of submarines, to be
trained and fitted for the great en
counter? As one of the men from
Texas said, who was loud in his
admiration of our green fields and
refreshing showers and well-laid
trees, 'Three years ago it would have
seemed impossible that this could
happen. We had no army, no
thought of war, least of all a Euro
pean war.' li is indeed a colossal
achievement, and the spirit in which
they are undertaking It is as great
as is the deed. They have come
with no selfish aim or object; not
for them the dreiam of annexing this
or that; they are come to fight for
a great ideal, to battle for the peace
and freedom of the world, and as
one gazed at their eager faces one
felt that America had gained tier
soul, and was showing by her exam
ple, how souls are won. The age of
chivalry, after all, is not passed, and
here were men all glowing with a
fine emotion, engaged in a great em
prise as striking as, and far more
useful than, that of the old Cru-1
saders 800 years ago. Yes, it was
indeed > a striking sight—not a
drunken man to be seen—and as
th%y filed down the platform t6 re
ceive the passing benediction of a
sandwich and a cup of coffee, one
could not help wishing that the Kai
ser could be there, and there would
be no more of his cheap sneers at
the forces of America. In the face
of such a sight one could not doubt
on which side victory would incline.
When the Archbishop of York en
tered on his mission to the United
States a short time ago, he chose as
the text of his first sermon," And
they beckoned to their partners in
the other ship that they should come
and help them, and they came."
Yes, they came, and they are coming
—brethren now for ever, in a
brotherhood whose ties are sealed
and ratified by common efforts for a
common end.
LIQUOR SMUGGLED

Danville, 111.—The activities of the
bootleggers who operate a booze line
between Westville, the only saloon
town iu the eastern half of Illinois,

The sheriff of Vermilion county, Inft..
