explained lately to the librarian OF

best. He's finished up the north pole

take him something about the discoV-
cry of the equator.
Although the librarian was unable
to comply with the request precisely
in the way the matron expected. at
least she had no difficulty in under
standing what was wanted. some
times much more reasonable inquiries
are SO worded as to test to the Ut

Four-Footed Camp Followers.

A Belgian soldier talked to a Paris
correspondent Of the New York Sun
of the animals that had Joined" the
Belgian army as it marched through
the open country. His face softens<.
as he related some of his experiences.
We managed to collect stray dogs
all the way" he said. AT one time
there were fully dozen of all species.
Some stayed with US throughout the
march. but others came and went.
One small, white, shaggy dog became
SO much in love with the life that she
never deserted. and is probably on
duty now. if she has not been killed b.
stray bullet.
"A young little thing, she learned 70

avant' and when he called, Halle.

not bulge until another order was
given. She ran among all the soldiers,
rubbing against them and caressins
them. and we would do anything Tor

Two goats suddenly appeared
among US one day, and they supplied
US with milk for long time. They

When there was no more milk, we had
TO leave them at farm. for looking
after and feeding them was too nucn
of a task.
The help that dogs have given Us

for they are on active duty day and
night without being embarrassed
When released. they fly over the fields

snap at each other, for they no doubt
feel that they have earned holiday
At least, that was the way at first, but
now they are too worn out for any

the los millions mark. The probable
deficit at the end of the fiscal year,
June 80, 1915, is sl33,000,000.
There is a lot of talk about this
growing deficit in the United States

much higher during the next few

but for the s12,o00,00o that Greece
paid US for the two battleships, Mis-
sissippi and Idaho. this working bal
ance would be down to $2s,000.000.
1t remains to be seen whether the
Treasury can stand the strain many
weeks. Secretary McASoo has au
thority to issue Panama Canal bonds
and to reimburse the Treasury for ex-
penditures on the construction of the
Isthmian waterway. This, however.

Uncle Sam is supposed to fork over

is enormous and must be met twice a

Dear Fatherland. no danger thine;
Firm stand thy sons to watch the Rhine!
They stand hundred thousand strong.
Quick to avenge their country's wrong;
With filial love their bosoms swell,
They'll guard the sacred landmark we'll

From heaven look down and meet their
gaze:
They swear with dauntless heart. 20

Be German as this breast of mine.
While flows one drop Of German blood,
Or sword remains to guard thy flood,
While rifle rests in patriot hand.
No foe shall tread thy sacred strand.
Our oath resounds, the river flows,
In golden light our banner CLOVIS;
Our hearts will guard thy stream divine
