SOMEHOW Or OTHER.

Life is a burden to every ones shoul-
der;
None may escape from it's troubles
and care:
Miss it in youth and twill come when
were older.
And flt us as close as the garments
we WeaR.
Sorrow comes into our home unlimited,
Robbing our heart of its treasures Of
song;
Lovers grow cold and our friendships
are sighted.
Yet somehow or other we worry
along.
Midst the sweet blossoms that smile
on our faces,
From the rank weeds that would
poison and blight,
And cen in the midst Of earths beau
tiful places
There is always a something that
isn't just right.
Yet oft from the rock we may pick a
gay flower,
And drink from a spring in a desoA
late waste:
They come to the heart as a heavenly
dover,
And naught is so sweet to the eye
or the taste.
Everyday toll is an everyday blessing,
Though povertys cottage and crust
we may share;
Weak is the back on which burdens
are pressing.
But stout is the heart which is
strengthened by prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows
brighter
Just when we mourned there was
none to befriend
Hope in the heart makes the burden
seem lighter,
And somehow or other we get to the
end.

Native Indian Troops
Will Be Used by British

London. Aug. 81. - Lord Kitchner
secretary Of state for war, announced
in the house of lords yesterday that in
ADDITION to reinfOrCementS which
would be received from this country,
the government had decided that the
British army in France should be fur
ther increased. The troops to in
crease the forces were now on the way,
he said. He added that all the gaps
In the army in France were being fill
ed up.
That the employment of native In
dian troops was meant by Lord Kitch-
ener was later confirmed by the Mar
quts OF Crewe, secretary of state for
India.
'Che Marquis of Crew said:
1T has been deeply impressed on
the government that the wonderful
wave Of enthusiasm and loyalty at the
present time passing over India is
largely due to the desire of the Indian
people that Indian soldiers should
Istand side by side with their comrades
In the British army.
india is aware of the employment
OF African troops to assist the French
army, and it would have been a dis
appointment to India If they had been
debarred from taking part in the war
in Europe.
Our army will thus be reinforced
by soldiers-high- -souled men Of first
rate training, and I am certain that
they will give the best possible ac =
count Of themselves.
II venture to think that this keen
desire Of our Indian fellow subjects
so as to cooperate with us is not less

Of whose soldiers in due course, will
no doubt be found fighting side by side
with British troops and Indian troops
in the war.
"Of course we all know that India

sideration not only to India itself, but
to us; but I am able to state that so

there is scarcely a possibility-in spite

Of India that some of the principal

of the troops in the field, and there
has been on varying scales a number
of offers OF the kind.

MON DAY, AUG. 81, 1914.
THE WAR AND FOOTBALL.

There is a striking similarity in the
terrific and lawful war game" as it IS
being played in Europe and the AM
erican game Of football. The Forum
does not intend any grim joke about
the slaughter" in both games, al
though critics of the American college
game may draw such comparisons.
1t is to the similarity of the situa
ton in France, to a situation that often
arises in the American football game
when one of the opposing clevens has
the ball in the vicinity of opponents
goal, to which reference is made.
At the critical juncture in a football
game, when the side which has the
ball threatens the enemys goal. out
over the field comes a roar of appeal
and encouragement from the side lines.
1t comes from the throats Of hundreds
of the adherents of the side whose goal
is in danger. The cry is" StonewaIi
Hold emil"
In the present war game Germany
has the ball. Paris is the goal and
.Germany's opponents is a team com
posed Of French and English. And
from all France and all England goes
up the cry, into which there is creep
ing a note Of desperation as the Ger
man army batters its way closer and
closed to it's goal
"StonewalN Hold emil"
Can the allies hold EN-? In the
game Of football, there is a time limit
on the game. In the European war the
Russian invasion on eastern Prussia Is
the time limit for the Germans.
The Germans must reach Paris
quickly, or the Russians will have
gained such an advantageous position
that it will be impossible to dislodge
them. 1t is even possible that the
Russians will find such feeble resist
ance to their great armies, that they
may threaten Berlin before long.
And in the meantime the whole
world, watches and waits in breathless
suspense for the outcome of the most
terrific and most awful game of the
ages

UNHAPPY SWISS
ASK FOR AID

Washington, Aug. 81. - President
Hoffman of the Swiss confederation
cabled the Swiss legation here yester-
day, telling of suffering among the
population of the republic and
authorizing the legation to raise a, re-
lief fund in America.
Through the complete mobilization
Of the Swiss army, with every avail
able man between 20 and "a years
underarms," said a statement issued
by the legation, thousands of families
are deprived of their supporters The
maintenance of an army numbering
100000 men involves a daily expendi-
ture of. 100000 francs, or of 45,O0O,-
900 francs per month.
Already the heavy hand of want for
means of existence is making itself
felt. and this may be followed by
complete stoppage Of business, result.
ing in the loss of millions of the ma

Realizing that help Is needed for
the many families suffering from the
existing unhappy conditions, the Swiss

offer to raise fund toward their re-
lief. 0'- -:
