such a time some one will set down the
story of Ypres in imperishable words;
for round about this ancient town lie
many Of the best and bravest OF Brit
aims heroic army. Thick, thick they
lie together - Englishman, Scot and
Irishman, Australian, New Zealander,
Canadian and lndan-linked close in
the comradcship of death as they were
in life; but the glory OF their invinci-
bic courage, their noble self-sacriiice
and endurance against overwhelming
odds, shall never fade. Surely, surely,
while English is spoken, the story of
"Wipers" will live on forever, and,
through the coming years, will be an
inspiration to those for whom these
thousands went, cheering and undis-
mayed, to meet and conquer death.
Ypres, as all the world knows, forms
, sharp salient in the British line, and
is therefore open TO attack on three
sides; and on these three sides it has
been furiously attacked over and over
again, so very often that the mere
repetition would grow wearisome. And
these attacks were day-long, week and
sometimes month-long battles, but
Britain's army stood firm.
In these bad, dark days, outnun-
bered and outgunned, they never
wavered. Rsked by thanking fire, they
met and broke the charges Of dense
packed foemen on their front; rank
upon rank and elbow to elbow the
Germans charged, their bayonets a sea
of flashing steel, their thunderous
shouts drowning the roar of guns. and
rank on rank they reeled back from
British steel and swinging rfe-butt,
and German shouts died and were lost
in British cheers.

It was one of those sweltering days,
When you hate the sight of man who smiles
I'd had a hard day at the office,
And just about ready to explode
As entered the subway.
As bored into that reekng mass
OF clothes and flesh and bones
I felt sick.

Hccoughed whifs of whiskey;
The girl standing my left foot
Steamed with the nauseatingly- sweet breath
Of pungent perfume,
While the soggy man beside her was garlicivorous

And wondered
II I'd ever ugler person.

Hundreds Of young men employed in
Little Rock stores and factories are
| not waiting for the selective draft for
military service, but are responding
to the call to the colors in the infant.
ry, artillery, navy, reserve officers,
hospital, and other branches of the
service. For the most part they are
being encouraged by their employers
to enlist. Should they actually be call
ed later into actual service, their
places would be filled temporarily by
older men and women, and their posi-
tions held open for them upon their
return. In some cases, the employers
are providing that the employe shall
lose nothing in a pecuniary sense by
reason of his enlistment For instance,
the Gus Blass Co., Of this city, has
made the proposition to the 100 or
more young men in its employ, and
that it will pay them the difference
