Left Behind

His wistful eyes are dim with tears.
His heart Is lead today,
As forth amid the shouts and cheers
The soldiers march away.
They're of to great Adventures shore.
The true romance to find:
They're answering the call OF war
And leaving him behind.
An! Why must ne stand Idly there
All hope Of glory gone,
"A sorry figure Of despair
While they go marching on?
Why must the cruel hand Of chance
Stretch forth. so stern and grim?
Why must the country OF romance
Deny its door to him?
But every hero may not share
The great and splendid deeds
OF those wiD nobiy do and dare
To serve their nations needs.
And though the savage battle light
Still beckons him away.
He's just little young to fight
He's eight years old today!

The Specialized Bear.

The specialized bear Of Ecuador Is so
called because of patch Of white
around each eye, which makes the AMI
NAL look as though he was peering
through a pair OF great spectacles. In
size and general color the specialized
bear looks not unlike the American
black bear. But its hair Is very shay
gy. At each side OF the head Is a
white bar, which gives the animal the
appearance Of wearing a halter. But
the most distinctive feature - the
white around the eyes.

Fashions for men bave begun to take
surprising turn. From Spain recently
came something quite new In the form
Of the sandal coat, which. according to
prediction. will be popular when the
hot weather sets in. And now a new
style hat for men has been found to
rival the old standby sailor. 1t made
its appearance III New York. where It
attracted considerable attention.
The new model is very like the
broad. fat fatigue hat of the national

five or six fashionably dressed men.
These hats are being sold in some
Fifth avenue shops. where 1t was stat.
ed that they were originated to sup

Is Blamed for The
 Athens Situation
IMMEDIATE ACTION WILL BE TAKEN TO BTAIN SOLUTION OF THE DIFFI- GUILTY; ANNOUNCEMENT PLEASES ENGLAND.

LONDON, Dec 4-Thc statement
 was made in the house of commons today by Lord Robert Cecil war trade minister that King Constantine and his government were involved deeply in the situation which has arisen at Athens and that the Entente Allies will take immediate measures to ob- tain solution of the difficulty.
 Lord Roberts announcement has given satisfaction in London, where greatest anxiety has prevailed since the receipt of the news that the AL lied detachments had withdrawn from the Greek capital after Fridays fight ing.
 The feeling against King Constan~ tine who is charged with having done everything possible to embarrass the Allies, has been growing here and de- mands that some steps be taken to cheek his-activities have become 1ak- sistent. Some circles have credited the government with protecting him because of his relation to members of .he British and Russian royal houses. This suggestion was introduced into he debate in the house of commons oday by Arthur Lynch, Nationalist, who sarcastically asked Lord Robert Cecil:
 will the right honorable gentle nan give the house assurances that 10 matter what occurs the dynasty will be preserved:" No answer was eturned. An unfavorablc impression ias been created also by the report hat King Constantine had recalled Il his pro-German advisors to linens.
