THOROUGHLY AMERICAN
The boast of the effusive Ameri
can, that his country offers better
opportunities to the young man than
any other country on the globe, is
not all buncom. ltf)may not be tact
ful to"make such""reniarks, but they
are true.
Moreover, the young American,
because perhaps of his envirement
and traditions which he imbibed
early in life, is willing to take the
chance and do the hard work to ex
ploit his opportunity. He tackles
fortune with an assured air, and en
Joys success when..he wins it to the
limit v' ":
Kipling; much in America in his
early years, caught and recorded the
spirit of the American who "shakes
dice with destiny for the beers," and
"who treats alike the twin impos-
ters, triumph and dance."
Here in the last day or two a
book reviewer, writing of one of the
late war books, describes two Amer
icans in France sitting in the costly
and luxurious palace of Marshal
Lanes, built and unfinished by one
of Napoleon's lieutenants. The Amer
icans were engaging because John J
Pershing, one of them, was heading
an American army larger than even
Napoleon ever commanded at one
time. With the commander-in-chief
of the American forces was Charles
G. Dawes, a business man who had
been drafted by General Pershing to
be his personal representative in
handling the grave problems of mo
dern supply and transportation for
a great army. They had been young
fellows together in a Nebraska
town, each eating fifteen cent lunches
on .high stools and planning and
working together for a start up
ward. There, in one of the most beauti
ful and luxurious palaces of the old
world, in the midst of sumptions
surroundings, Charles Dawes, late of
Nebraska, and Pershing, late of the
r.anic general vicinity, recalled the
lean days and the fifteen-cent lunch
es the two had had together, and he
said slowly, "John, when I contrast
these barren surroundings with the
luxurlousness of our early surround
ings in Lincoln it does seem that a
good man has no real chance in the
world."
To which Pershing replied media-
tively. "Don't it beat hell."
The tory Is bound to be true.
General Dawes tells it himself in
his recent book, "A Journal of the
Great War."
