About two months ago il was pos
sible TO witness such incidents as that
which took place in little cafe in the
center Of Paris Two soldiers in
stained uniforms smacking OF the
front, were taking their morning
coffee in a retired corner-modestly
and inconspieuously, as is the way
with the men who have seen real
service They were concealed from
two citizens who were discussing the
war I've had my fiji OF il, said

One Of thesoldiers roset his feet
and confronted the pessimist. my
good friend" he said, you must have
had hard time Of II. When were
you mustered out? Tell us what you
have done in the war, and what the
wars done TO you TO give you such
tired feeling" The civilian gulped
down the rest OF his coffee and rush
ed out Of the cafe without replying.
Today the cafe conversations are
all about some exploit around Yer
dun and what will happen to the Ger
mans, If they persist in their effort
to take the ancient stronghold.
There is less discussion of the high
cost OF living than two months ago,
although there has been no appre-
cable easing of prices. This, too, is
accounted for by the heroic resist
ance OF the army.

world little over nine years ago.
A darling SOD from us has gone,
Leaving our hearts 80 rent and torn,
The dark death angel came 80 swift
And we in sadness weep and mourn.
The star Of life and promise bright
Was soon eclipsed by death dark gloom
The form once filled with strength and
power
Lies Wondering in the silent tomb.
Our hearts are bleeding, but we bow
To Him who gave His only Son
To save the lost OF all mankind.
Thy will, dear Lord, not ours, be done.
Farewell, loved one. fond farewell:
We hope TO meet y ou on that shore
| With all the loved ones in that land

When Father says to us, "Come home, "
TO His dear will we how our heads
And kiss the Christening rod:

ALIEN-BORN AMERICAN
APPLIES AS A RECRUIT
Leonard c. Jeffrey Claims Citizen
ship, Although a Native of
British Guiana.

An interesting case of a dual ma
tionality came up before the National
Guard recruiting officers yesterday,
when Leonard C. Jeffrey of George
town. British Guiana, applied for en-
listment at the tent station, 7th street
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
Jeffrey said he was born in British
Guiana and that his father was an
American citizen who had lived there
for a number of years without renounc-
ing his citizenship in the United States.
He came to this country by way of
England. travelling on a British pass
port, and declared his intention of
making it his home.
Lieut.. Tydings, who was in charge
of the station, worked in the State
Department before the mobilization
order came, and was fairly familiar
with questions of citizenship. He
finally took the man around to the 9th
street station, where his papers were
made out.
