HEROES ARE SADLY LACKING Few Generals Are Mentioned in Sto ries of Conflict in Europe—Army Is Like Machine. Most amazing of all the wonderful things about this war is the extremely few names of generals we ever hear about, writes Girard in the Philadel phia Ledger. One Italian, a couple of English, two or three Frenchmen, four Germans and the same number of Russians, and not one Turk. That makes up the list af ter two years of fighting and with 25,000,000 soldiers under arms. The vast armies are moved like ma chines. Hardly a reputation for any individual anywhere. What a different story in Napoleon’s day! He made four kings, a viceroy, a crown prince, five other princes and twenty-one dukes. The names of some of his marshals are almost as well known as that of Bonaparte himself. So, too, in our revolution. “Washington and His Generals” is the name of a once popular book, and the generals are known to millions of schoolchildren—Greene, Wayne, Put nam, Knox and Lee. The South as well as the North had lots of heroes in the ’6Os —Lee, Jack son, Johnson, Bragg, Beauregard, Stu art, Hill, Pickett, and Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Meade, Thomas, Hancock and a host of others, almost as much talked about as the supreme comman ders themselves. But this is a war minus heroes, and that is the worst part of it, because hero-making was about the best a war ever did. 25 CENTS OESTRDYS YOUR DANDRUFF ANO STOPS FALLING HAIR Save your hair?

The other day, just after I had been promoted to a position of considerable importance, a friend slapped me on the back and said, ‘Good boy, I knew they would appre ciate your worth some time.’ His words were gall. I had held the same position more than 20 years before. I had merely won back by hard work a position that, in early manhood, I had achieved without much effort.” Tiny but Deadly.
