GREAT BRITAIN DAY
. )0. Friday and Saturday of last
week were set apart to be ob
served all over our country as a
public recognition of the part
taken in this, war bv the-empire
of Great Britain. Cue reason
why Americans should do this
is because in the opening years
of the war German propaganda
was directed mainly to belittle
British efforts. So often we
heard that England was willing
for the last Colonial and French
Soldiers to . be killed. The bit-
* <vV” •
terest hatred was incited to
ward 'England as a slacker in
the war. Already the voice of
the propagandist is*audible, try
ing to show that* England pro
poses to hog the benefits of the
peace table. The same Ameri
can voices which sounded so
loud before we entered the war
are ready to speak again. Here
are a - few facts as to Britains
part in the war.

In August, 1914, the British
regular army consisted of 250,-
