understood that the composition is Colo
mel Munford's.

1t is remarked. that the explanation
OF the colonel of the New York Seventh
Regiment as to why that organization
did not volunteer Is somewhat confusing.
No one seems to know exactly what IL
means. Perhaps the New York seventh
has not gotten over the confusion into
which Dame Rumor says II was thrown
\at or about the time OF the first battle
OF Manassas.
1t has been stated by eye-witnesses
who saw the regiment embarking after
that battle on its return to New YORK
that 1t was very much mixed. May be
that experience has something to 90
with its present fear of not being
able to straighten itself out again In case
II should volunteer.

A Soldiers Heart.
Baltimore News.)

ADAANAhACAN ~
Where is the heart of a soldier,
His thought, his hope, and his dream,
When the rifles ring and the bullets sing,
And the flashing sabres CLEAN?
Oh, not on the field of battle,
But far and far way,
While his sword is red in the fray!
Where is the heart of a soldier,
And what do the bugles wake,
And what does the roar Of the cannon
When the hills beneath them shake?
Oh, not for him the glory,
And the dash and crash or war,
But his heart is away on a mission gay
Where they hear no cannon roar!
And there is the heart of n soldier -
A little home on the hill,
A white-faced woman, a little child,
That stand by the w~indoW-slll;
A little song and a little prayer,
And a wonder in the face,
And a God save papa and bring him
back
In the goodness of Thy grace"
And there, is the heart of a soldier
Not in the field of fight,
But STEPPED in the dream Of a saddened
home
Where a window keeps it's light
That a soldiers feet may keep the path
And his way may hOmeWard lead,
When under the flag of the freedom-land
He has wrought the hero's deed.
Yea. there Is the heart of a soldier,
Where wife and baby are,
Though his eyes and his Will may follow
The light of the battle star;
Though his hand may swing the sabre,
And his bayonet charge the Zoe,
The soldiers heart is away, away,
In the home where they miss him so!

To flames best classes,
Since there is naught at catching lilies

thirty-four brigadier-generals, with their
STATS. which aggregate twenty-one lieu

and sixty-eight frst-lieutenants, making
a grand total of S4 officers. The Presi-

The Spanish feet. The Spanish fleet!

Since first the thought Of war with US
Was unto them imputed:
And as in Cape Verde harbor they
Do Turk with purpose wary,
We wonder how that can be fleet
That is so stationary.

than anything that could be written:
Chas, S. Brown,
Dear Sir
There were large number of beau
tiful flowers delivered at the house
on tho day of my wife's death in st.
Paul, from my friends here and the
Knights of the Globe. / wish to

My young friends, the day to which you
have looked forward for long time has az
rived. There are many pathways leading
out from this commencement day, many
milcstones set down in the great chart ac-
cording to which life's journey must be run.
The days you have spent here have been
training days, teaching each eye to detect
any torsion in the great glass of the future.
But you are soon to be removed from this
nursery of knowledge and planted in the soil
of actual life. May you not wther away and
be seen no more. May you tend we'll to the
seed that has been SO we'll sown, keeping it
free from the sap-drawing weeds, ever ex-
posing it to the genial influence of sunshine
and showers.
Your brows are unfurrowed with ite's
cares. Vigorous you stand on the verge OF
the field of action, blooming with the prom
ises of hopeful manhood and womanhood,
untutored in the great university of life. The
clear cut rays of the MONDAY sun beam on
each of you. Only bond to the work and
worthy success will tend you, her crown and
scepter and genius too will not stay her
hand to bear fame anil honor to the son and
daughter of 1913.
| You have spent many happy days here to-
gcther, many trials of sorrow have you ex-
perienced, many sleepless nights have been
spent pouring over long and tedious lessons
and now in the stiffness of this hour We
fancy VIC hear some gentle voice whisper,
"ts finished" Finished. ah no. You have
not yet begun. The future with outstrctched
arms beckons smilingly before you. The
fields are ready for tho reapers: and when
the golden grain is garnered may We find
that you have not labored in vain, Toll on
then with purpose firm and true until the
sccptcr has been manfully won and the
guard; IN angel of time shall whisper tbs

SHIFTING THE CAMP
From the Woodland to the Open Field

Chickamauga National Park, Ga., Aug 12. --The shifting of camp from the woodlands to the open fields was still in progress to- day, number of regiments having changed their location. This is one of the important steps in the plan to better the sanitary conditions of Camp Thomas and to promote the health of the soldiers. While arrange ments to move the Second and Third di- visions of the First corps from this camp are progress, no time will be lost to make the conditions more favorable for the two divisions that are to remain. The work that iS now being accomplished along this line amounts to an admission that the fa- cilities for maintaining high degree of health have not been what they should of interest on the part of the men in charge they have often been hampered in their undrtakings, sometimes for want of ma ter.al and again for want of direct author ity That this has been the case has de- yeloped in the crowded condition and the inadequate accommodations of the division hospitals These conditions have at last received recognition, and there Is now an active movement on foot for more hospital room and for better accommodations gen. erafly.-
