The Unhappy Warrior

I'm not a Happy Warrior; I
don't find scrapping pleasant, and
no one could be sorrier when l
find trouble present. l do not
think it glorious on snorting steed
to ride, and rant AROUND, uproar-
ious, demanding some ones hide.
I'm fond of peace and piety, l
hope to spend my life. afar from
mixups rioty, afar from foolish
strife. Id do my stunt laborious,
and draw my humble wage, and
those who think war glorious
may grind their swords and
rage. I'd spend my lifetime hap
PLY, good friends with men and
kings; alas. some neighbors,
scrappily insist on mixing things.
Because l treat them smilingly
they think l have no spunk; l
greet them so beguilingly they
climb upon my trunk. They'd
fain assault and batter me, be-
cause it's safe, they say; they'd
punch my head and scatter me
to make a holiday. And then 1
swat them nightly, and lacerate
their hair, and black their eyes
so vitality they wish they were
not there. Wars garments are
not wearable, while peace re-
mains in sight, but, gee whiz, I
am terrible, if folks must have
fight! Some countries are like
men, l guess, they seem so meek
and mild, until you prod them
then. I guess. you'll see them
running wild!

PRAISE ACHIEVEMENTS

Day With Stirring Talks
and Songs.

Praise Of the achievements of the
fatherland in science, art and military
skill, together with blame for Great
Britain for having entered the great

Martin Wiegand, president of the or
ganization. made a stirring appeal in
German, in which he urged Americans
of Teutonic descent to stand firmly by
the old country in her hour of trial.

the Muscovite in the east. and the
Frenchman in the west, while Great
Britain sends her mercenaries to help

force of numbers the great protagon-
ist of civilization, which for more than
forty-three years had faithfully kept
the peace Of the world.

Decision Will Have Wide Scope.

Germs only the single railroad, it is ex-

lay down principles that will affect

justment of passenger and freight
rates one to another throughout the
country. ...

case was the first scheduled for. the
term of court that opened yesterday.

judgments in lower federal courts not
appealable to the Supreme Court as a
matter of right. and for the dismissal
of appeals in other cases.

Arguments Heard in Controversy
Over Passenger Fares Under
West Virginia Enactment.

Whether or not state may compel
railroads to transport passengers at a
non-remumerative rate and what con-
stitutes such non-remunerative rate
are questions to be decided by the Su-
preme Court as the result of argu-
ments which began today. The speci-
hc case is that of the Norfolk and
Western railroad against the state of
West Virginia, the railroad maintain
ing that the state rate of cents per
mile for passenger transportation is in
effect conf1scatory. A corollary of the
question at issue is whether or not the
state may. to recompense the railroads,
permit them to make up the losses on
passenger traffic by increased freight
