Show English Tommy Hits German Hard On Honor Question C APT A IX EDWARDS, whose speeches have created, great interest in SaJt I-ake, tells a capital story relating to a (diminutive Knglish Tommy and a big Prussian colonel.

"We fight for money?" responded the surprised Tommy, who. as Captain Edwards Ed-wards remarked, gets the magnificent pay of twenty-five cents a day. "Then what do you fight for?" queried the English soldier. "Ah." replied the Prussian colonel as he stretched to his fuli height and expanded ex-panded his chest more. "We fight for honor."
