BURIED ALIVE

DORIED ALIVE
BY Berton BraIey.
Deep in the whirl of belt and wheel
And flying dust and changing steel
A child is buried all the day
From out of doors and romping play.
Buried alive from CLINT of sun,
From comrades bithe who shout and
run,
Robbed of his childish heritage
By ghouls who pay his tiny wage.
Within this grimy factory
Is buried youth that once was free;
And here, all dull and Ifeless, lies
The joy that dwells in childish eyes.
Here lies the glow of childish health
Slain for the sake of greedy wealth;
This is a morgue of babes, my
friends,
Buried alive-for dividends.
Here lies the dream of better things
Crushed by the toll each morning
brings;
Here lies Amb1tlon-calmly slain
For Mammon's rich and ruthless
gain.
Here is the tomb of Hope denied,
OF Youth o'erburdened and crucifed,
Buried alive! -oh, Lord, how long
Shall we suffer children to bear this
wrong?
-O-O-

|News of Society and Club Matters
s Wilson's Luncheon-Visitors Enterained-Cars Are sued to Parties More or Less Formal-Musicale to Be Given Monday-Other Notes
By MYRTLE MILES

Edward Grieg, who is one of the favorite later day composers, was born in Nor way. 1s4S, and died 1907. One of the most remarkable traits of Grieg is that al- though he had an invalid body nearly all his life, his artist soul was always healthy. There is not trace of the mor- bid in his music, but on the contrary a superb virility and joyousness such as are supposed to be inseparable from robust health
 Griegs strength lies in the freshness and novelty of his ideas. He is called by some the Chopin of northern music, be- cause of the marked racial characteristics in his music. Liszt and Brahms were ad mirers of Grieg.
 Mrs. Gussen will play the following pro- gramme:
 1. Ballade in form of Variations, op. 24
 2. Lyric pieces (a) ''Humoreske," op. 6.
 tb) ''To Spring" op. 43, No. 6.
 Co "Berceuse," op. 3S.
 (d) "The Butterfly" op. 43. No. l.
 (e) "Birdling,'' op. 4s, No. 4.
 d) "Scherzo," op. 54. 3. Sonata in c minor for piano and vio- lin, op. H45, allegro con brio, romanza, ale gro.

ANOTHER SIEGE after BELF0RT
FRENCH ATHLETES DIE AT FRONT

Paris, Oct. 1S.-While occasional i'm
patience is manifested at the lack OF
decisive news from the front. Parish
ans have come to the realization that
the battles have been transformed in
TO veritable sieges with their COM
paratively slow operations. Even af-
ter the battle from Dunkirk to Bel
fort is decided army officers are look
ing forward to still another siege.
1t will be in the extreme north, in
the opinion of Lieut.. Col. Rousset,
that important events in all probable
lty will be recorded. Concerning this
he says:
The French and English forces as
ssmbled between Ypres and the coast
are giving the right hand to those
who have advanced as far as the i'm
mediate limits Of Armentieres. In
front, the German troops, of which
we do not know the strength, but who

are installed on the line, Ostend, to

Lieut.. Col Rousset in discussing the
situation on the Russian German
frontier, refers to the surprise ex-
pressed that the Russians should
abandon at once more than 200 kilo-
meters Q32 miles) of territory and
take up position at Warsaw. In this
connection, he says that in this sea :
son of rains. the Polish plains become
marshes where the armies cannot
move and the sending of conveys car
not be assured.
The railroads also are inefficient
and provisioning is difficult, he says,
and adds if the Russians preferred to
let the enemy run tbs risk rather
than themselves they perhaps have
been cunning.
