Military Foresight— Colonel “Bill” Hayward of the 369th, New York’s fa- mous colored regiment, told this story the other night to illustrate the uncon- querable spirit of the American private soldier “At the height of the German offen sive last spring, when the Boche were driving the Allied lines back at nearly every point, practically all the officers and many of the European private troops got exceedingly discouraged — almost panicky—but the American privates never for one instant conceived the idea that they could be beaten. “Our regiment was stationed along- side of a Moroccan regiment, and I no: ticed that my boys were constantly buy ing German money from their neighbors. The Moroccans consistently went through the clothes of the German dead and cap. tured, and appropriated all valuables but they had no use for German money. They could not spend it in France, so they sold it to the Americans at the rate of five marks for a franc. I asked some of the boys what they wanted German money for, which they could not use, and which was not particularly exciting to take home as a souvenir.” “Why, Colonel, sir.’ was the answer ‘We’s buying that money cheap so’s to have plenty to spend when we get to Ger- many.” “And sure cnough, six months later when the French magnanimously granted my regiment the honor of leading the van of the conquering army to the Rhine, which we were the first to reach, I saw the boys spending that very money, which they had bought in May, in Ger- man delicatessen shops.”—Wall Street Journal Straws.

What Cecil Rhodes dreamed Pauling built, and there is a quaint story of their close association, On his frequent journeys to and from England, Rhodes insured fresh eggs for breakfast by taking a coop of hens on board the steamer. Pauling, his frequent fellow-traveler, was asked why he did not indulge in a similar luxury. “Oh!” said Pauling, “I don’t bother about the hens. I give the bo’sun a sov- creign and I get Rhodes’ eggs.” —London Chronicle / BAD | BREAKS | J Boys Will Be Girls—“The average scout is infinitely better fitted to be a MoTHER than the girl who has just left school after a standard education.” London Daily Sketch.
