THE OUTLOOK COMPANY America's Great Railroad The Union Pacific I And the Man Whose Foresight, Energy and T is a band of steel, that unites the two oceans, the West and the East, in a great Pacific Union. Sixty years ago, President Buchanan said: "Without such a road wecan- not West united in interest and close communication. Hence the name "Union Pacific,' typical of the permanent, Pacific Union between the East and the West of this country. The UNION PACIFIC was the name appropriately chosen for the great railroad. The history of this great railroad ** Daniel Webster said that nothing beyond the Mississippi could ever have much value. That great genius of words would have been surprised could he have been told that a great genius of deeds would spend hundreds of millions in a few short years improving a national belt of steel, the Union Pacific, carrying on its chief work in that region of which Webster thought so little. Senator Green, of Missouri, addressing the Senate on April 17, 1858, had said: "I believe the Pacific Railroad will It appeared that this prophecy of He knew that a great engine of Mr. Harriman had faith in the others by The great railroad, as great as the mountains Thomas Jefferson gave to this nation the ter- James Buchanan was its advocate.

Being a military nation, remarks a woman correspondent of a London paper, "makes us all so excited or something, somehow. In all my knowledge of it I've never seen London so chock-a-block, never known the restaurants so crowded, theaters so prosperous, pleasure so utterly every one's objective. I suppose it's the edge-of-avolcano feeling. Of course it's quite different outside the big cities. In the country houses there's only one thing to think about,and that's how the husbands or the sons or the lovers are getting on 'over there. The artists of ancient Egypt receive this tribute from the famous Spanish artist Zuloaga, some of whose splendid canvases are to be exhibited in the United States this winter: "The primitives and the early Egyptians, with their rigorous economy of line, form, and tone, afford me more pleasure than I derive from the work of my contemporaries." Two of Zuloaga's pictures are reproduced in The Outlook this week. The love of France leads many American youths to enlist in the cause of that country. Some of these have fought the good fight and fallen. Others have met a happier if not more honorable fate. Among these is Albert Béraud, born in Boston notwithstanding his French name, and a student in Manhattan College, New York, at the beginning of the war. He has just received the ribbon of the Legion of Honor, as told in this letter to his parents: Albert, single-handed, captured a German machine gun on October 16 during the assault which brought Fort Douaumont, at Verdun, again under the French flag. "J. M. Speers Heads Billy Sunday, Inc.," is a newspaper headline that, being interpreted, means that the board of directors of the William A. Sunday Evangelistic Association, Incorporated, which was organized a few weeks ago, has elected as its president Mr. James M. Speers, who is also president of James McCutcheon & Co., of New York City, well known as linen merchants. E. E. Olcott, president of the Hudson River Day Line, is the treasurer, and the Rev. Dr. Henry Cobb is secretary. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is to be a member of the finance committee. Among women who are making careers for themselves in lines of activity usually pre-empted by men are, according to "Collier's," Mrs. Anna Vogel, of Detroit, champion trap-shooter of her sex; Miss Amanda Preuss, motorist, first woman to drive a car alone from San Francisco to New York; Miss Aileen McKay Bryant, of Seattle, the first woman to make deep-sea diving a profession; Mrs. Helen Britton, President of the St. Louis National League Baseball Club; and Dr. Anna Tjomsland, Inspector of Anæsthesia in Bellevue Hospital, New York City. The long-suffering book agent shares with the plumber and the mother-in law the honor of being the most-joked-about individual of civilization. Here is a sample of this form of humor, from "Life:" "Irate. Business Man--- You book agents make me so angry with your confounded nerve and impudence that I cannot find words to express my feelings.' Agent-Then I am the very man you want. I am selling dictionaries."" Dr. Elihu Thomson has been awarded the John Fritz medal for "distinguished scientific achievement" by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. During the same week he was honored with a medal by the Royal Society of London-a coincidence described by President McLaurin, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as "almost unique." The old-fashioned stage-coach of the Yellowstone will now be seen only in Wild West shows or the movies. The announcement is made that next summer ten-passenger motor cars will take the place of the stages in conveying visitors through the Yellowstone National Park. "Channukah Day-Jews to Celebrate Judas's Victory and Religious Liberty" is a startling headline in a New York newspaper-startling, that is, until one remembers that there were many Judases in Jewish history besides the pre-eminently bad one. Channukah Day, it seems, celebrates the defeat by Judas Maccabeus of the Syrian armies in 165 B.C. This brought about the rededication of the Temple at Jerusalem and liberty of worship therein to the Jews. The celebration of this event by the Jews of New York shows that they have long memories. The Dead Letter Division of the PostOffice Department handled 10,839,890 let-ters and parcels last year, containing more than two and a quarter million dollars in checks, drafts, money orders, and cash. Most of this vast sum was returned to the owners. The contents of undeliverable letters amounted to $53,665, which, with $11,000 derived from the collection of one cent on advertised letters, made a total revenue of $64,665. This makes the Dead Letter Division practically self-sustaining. The grizzly bear is usually content with a lowly diet of grubs, insects, and ground squirrels and other rodents, with a seasoning of acorns and other nuts and of wild fruits. Many powerful old grizzlies, however, says the "National Geographic Magazine," have become notorious cattle-killers, and some wily marauders of this kind have run for years with a bounty of $1,000 on their heads. They stalk the cattle by night, and, seizing their prey by the head, usually break its neck, but sometimes hold and kill it by biting. The grizzly, one of the finest (biologically speaking) of our native_animals, is rapidly disappearing―no doubt to the satisfaction of these cattle owners. The Florida manatee, according to the same authority, was not long ago in danger of becoming extinct, but a protective law has resulted in its rapid increase. A resident of Ponce Park, on the Indian River, Florida, says that in the summer scarcely a day passes but from one to half a dozen manatees may be seen in front of his house. The peculiar semi-human attitude of the female manatee in nursing her young, with the rounded head and fishlike tail, are supposed by some to have been the basis for the mermaid myth. Can Germany really make peace now? If not now, when and how? How goes life inside Germany? In the towns, the cities, the country? Are the people back home starving? What do they eat, what does it cost? How is it distributed? Are the Germans losing heart? Of their enemies? These and other questions are answered in INSIDE THE GERMAN EMPIRE IN THE THIRD YEAR OF THE WAR With a Foreword by James W. Gerard, American Ambassador to Germany By HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE A fascinating portrayal of the inner workings of the most completely organized society in the world-Germany at the outset of the third year of the war. On the pages of the book stand out the marvelous foresight, the almost perfect unity, the iron discipline which make of seventy millions of men, women and children a great battling force whose vanguard is the army and navy. Contains the most tremendous lessons for every American citizen -lessons of two kinds--lessons as to what to do and what not to do. James W. Gerard, Ambassador to the German Empire, writes in his Foreword: "The facts and impressions contained in this book . . form an important contribution to contemporaneous history and possess a referential value for the future." |
