In the old days they made war with words as well as weapons, and did it grandiloquently. Take the meeting of Alexander the Great and Darius on the banks of the Riyer Astukhus. Darius was ruler of the world, and Alexander sought to be. Darius sent a letter to Alexander in which he said: "The King of Fleaven has bestowed on me the dominions of the earth."

The boyish Alexander wrote in reply: "That you may taste and acknowledge the bitterness of my victory, I have resolved to meet you in battle. I profess myself the weak and humble servant of God, to whom I address my prayers and look for victory and triumph, and whom I adore." (History tells us that the humble-talking Alexander beat the bloody Hades out of the boastful Darius.)

General Douglas MacArthur is entitled to great pride of ancestry. In'Scotland there is an old saying: "There is nothing older except the hills, MacArthur, and the Devil." The MacArthurs used to claim to be the oldest branch of the Clan Campbell, and their headquarters were at Strachur. Certainly it was one of the strongest in Scotland until L427, when James I executed the Clanhead. When Douglas MacArthur, leaving the Philippines during the late unpleasantr-ress, went to Australia, he might well have felt at home there, because it was one of his ancestors, John MacArthur, who left Scotland long ago for Australia, and is called down there "the father of New South Wales."

A famous advertising man of long ago named Ernest Elmo Calkins used to tell a story to illustrate the attitude of the man who says he tried advertising and found it did not pay. He told about an Indian who had heard so much about the comfortable featherbeds of the white men that he decided to see for himself. So he got a handful of feathers, spread them on a rock, and laid down on them to sleep. Next morning he told another fndian: "Heap big lie white man tell; featherbed no good, give Injun pain in neck." And that's the way, said Calkins, some men try advertising. * * *

One of Lincoln's favorite jokes during the war was when he was asked how many soldiers the Confederates had in action, and he answered that they had twelve-hundred. thousand. Then he gravely explained that when one of his

Union generals took a whipping, he almost always explained that he was outnumbered three-to-one. "I must believe them," said Abe with a twinkle in his eye, "xnd-sinss we have four-hundred-thousand men under arms and they have three times as many, they must have twelve-hundredthousand." ri< :r r/.

One time when Henry Ford was in his prime and at the height of his business success, a magazine writer asked him to tell the secret of his success, and Henry said: "There are only two things in the world that are really importantfaith and work," * * ,c

Certain words of Abe Lincoln on the subject of God's help in battle are often misquoted. A clergyman said to him: "I hope that the Lord is on our side." Lincoln replied: "I am not at all concerned about that, for I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant.anxiety and prayer that this nation.should be on the Lord's side." * n< ,(

When a man rises to his feet before an assemblage with a message in his mind, inspiration in his heart, and a thrill in his soul, the words that he utters are oratory-spontaneous and unmechanical. But when he rises with a manuscript before him and a sending machine to carry wordsthat is not oratory. It's okay but should not be labeled oratory. t< {< :l

A study of their mutual history may convince you that British and Americans sort of enjoy fighting together. They've been doing it for about two centuries. Sometimes they stand sturdily shoulder-to-shoulder. And then again they fight manfully face-to-face. But when fighting for or against one another, they never at any time lost their mutual respect. Socially, and in peace time, we don't enjoy each other's company much. Be honest. You know that's so. But when "the front o' battle lowers." as Burns said. we get along mighiy well together. Which is lucky for both: and for the world. *{.*

And there is the story of the soldier who parked a Jeep in the city street right alongside a parking meter, and then started to walk away without contributing to the meter. A cop close by said to him: "Iley, soldier ! How about putting a coin in the parking meter?" The soldier waved airily and said: "Put one in yourself, chum, it belongs to you as much as it does to me."
