IS THE PARTNERSHIP
DISSOLVED?
Oua Of the Kaiser's spok amen
writes editorially: "God only knows
by what underground system the
American state departmnt obtained
»he documents" in. the Swedish
case. Does Herr Editor imply
that th.a partnership between God
and the Kaiser has been dissolved?
That "God only'! would so indicate.
THEY WERE STILL YOUNGER
A LX '01
Now and then some Grand Army
veteran is .heard to remark that
"We are entrusting the nation's bat
tles to a lot of very young boys.
And any body of troops looks it.
But *e should not forget that in
the war of '61 there were boys of
10 yea.rs some 11, 105,000 who
were of 14 years, 300,000 who were
15, and 1,800,000 who were be
tween. 15 and 21 years.
Lives of Doctor*.
In keeping others alive physicians
appear to lose their own lives. Of all
professional men their lives are the
shortest. Between the ages of forty
flv» and sixty-five five doctors die on
*a average to oue clergyman.
