Gen. Funston to do so. People born
in the period of Aries have excellent
dispositions for these troublous times.
They can discuss the war without re-
calling to what European country
they trace their descent. The moon
will be full twice in March, on the list
and 31st. The absence Of full moon
in February, which is happily not to
recur in centuries, was most FORUM
ate. 1t gave some Of the democrats
in the senate a chance TO desert the
shipping bill in the darkness, and
caused the first serious split in the
party since Mr.. Wilson went into the
White House. As a result, the party
will have two full moons this month,
and one thereafter regularly, exactly
as the republicans did.
Then April will project her spell,
With Easter Injuries galore.
And farmers having wheat to sell

A growing host of human ills
Will arm for sassafras and greens,
The bitter cold will loose its grip

Around the manor doing chores.

shine peering through the glass ac-
complish wonders in a room. The

perary and the rest, and sailing over
on the wing the watchful goose will

leave a trail of softer color in the

the oyster will intrench itself upon the
wind-swept bill of fare, the winter
fur will seek the shelf to find the
moth awaiting there, the gentle breeze
will softly page the woods for sum
mer off and on, and the robin red
breast will engage the doughty hook
worm on the lawn.
But quite aside from things elate
and flowers Weakened by the rain, the
legions lying long in wait shall all

March gets its name from Mars,
who was the Roman god of war. While
Roman mythology has been succeeded
by Christian science and other relig-
gions, it served an excellent purpose
in it's time. Mars was responsible for
all wars, and no odium attached to
anyone else for starting war. This
let Caesar and the other Roman mil
itarists out, and they enjoyed the rep
utation of being for peace. There
was some doubt in Britain and Gaul
about Caesar really being for peace,
but this was because the people in
those countries did not believe in Ro-
man mythology. When missionaries
from the East appeared in Rome and
urged better religion, some of the
most eloquent orators in the empire
pointed out the peculiar advantage of
Roman mythology in this respect.
Caesar particularly distinguished him
self on this occasion. He said if war
was no longer to be made in Heaven,
as people had supposed, the empire
would become unstable through popu-
lar resentment of so much fighting,
and Rome would fall. This argument
was in a fair way to prevail for a
time, but there was one speaker on
the other side, man very much like
the Rev. Billy Sunday, who made such
tremendous appeal that Caesar was
assassinated by bunch of converts
as he came down off the platform,
. and the empire fell.
The Romans began their year in
March. They were hot weather fight
ers, as the Russians appear to be, and
would not stir in the winter. Already
in their trenches when cold weather
set in, they would at once burrow
down, and there was no more getting
at them than there is digging wood
chuck out in the winter time. II was
at this season that the Helvetians
and Aquitanians became very bold,
and one could usually find two or
three Of them on bitterly cold day
around the hole where a Roman was
spending the winter, pouring hot wa
ter into it and such like. The legions
of Rome came up with the daisies,
and beginning a brand new year with
a good winters rest, they walked
right through whatever was set to
oppose them. This is, of course, the
policy of Kitchener, and some interest
ing light will be thrown on the COM
parative value of the two strategies
when the battle is resumed on the riv-
er Aisne. If the allies, who have hol-
ed, are unable to dislodge the Ger
mans, who have for the most part
wintered on the coat-tails of the Rus
slams, the holing or alternating theory
of war will calmly collapse.
The festive calf will sigh for spring,
And blithely do a buck and dance;
The robin will return to sing
A cherry ballad of romance.
The poet will attune his Tyre,
To green and verdant things about
The keeper of the furnace fire
Will let it slowly clinker out.
The plumber will release his bills
And meantime look at limousineE,
