London, Sept 2s.-tien. Gnselee,

Friday regarding the international

cans were especially well equipped
with hospitals and commissariat and
spared no expense In making their
troops comfortable. He said; Eve
always got on splendidly with our
American comrades. II is most i'm
poltant that we should keep in with
these fine soldiers. Both the officers
and men seemed to me to be full OF
soldierly spirit and capable of great
things. All ranks Of our army got

roTHEFoRcoTTeN ONES

Deep In a dell rose was born;
The sunbeam kissed 1t in the morn.
And in Its cup the dewdrop shone,
But no one came to see 1t bloom,
To breathe Its sweetness. Its perfume,
And so 1t lived and died unknown.
Deep In the woods bird Of song
Sang In the midnight loud and long.
A nightingale by grief pursued,
A melody so softly clear
As e'er fell on a human ear
Was wasted In the solitude.
But other songs in minor keys
Are falling on the midnight breeze;
And every note shall die unheard;
And there are other eyes that wake,
And other hearts that throb and break
Without note, without . word.
But weep not, It's the common lot
To toll and die and be forgot;
Perhaps In regions bright and fair,
Your hand shall wake the golden
chord,
And sing the songs that fell unheard
On ears made deaf by dismal care.
