JIM DALE

Young Jimmy Dale, across cur street,
Is just gawky lad,
He grew so fast, the doctors said,
His heart was mighty bad;
They wouldn't let him do much work
Or any hearty play
But, just the same, they drafted Jim
And Jim has gone away.
Jim was sort of great, big kid
And fooling all the while
So. when they ordered him to camp,
He went there with a smile.
Jim Dale is in the army now,
Lark legs, bum heart and all,
To fight like other drafted men
That got the country's call.
God, yes! Jim's heart may drop him
dead
Or he may live to be
Shot all to pieces "over there
What odds to you or me?
BY, thunder! It's these odds to you'll
If kids like Jim can go,
With smiles, to fight our wars for us
We can put up the dough.
If we can buy a bond or two
And don't, while Jim, poor cuss,
Goes smiling off to death or wounds
Then hell's too good for US!
Ellis Parker Butler of
the Vigilantes.

Altho Editor Major Brown of the
st. Petersburg Independent is slight
ly Prussianized, he is a sensible old
scout most of the time. He indorses
the Stars position on one subject by
saying:
Evidently believing that the av-
erage man pays more attention to a
message sent by wire than to one
sent through the mails, officials at
Washington, without regard to ex-
pense, send kilograms instead of
writing letters on any and all occas-
ions. Scores of kilograms have been
received here, all paid for by the
government, when, in most instances
the messages could have been as eff
fective sent by mail. Whenever
somebody in st. Petersburg is ap-
pointed chairman of something he is
notified by long telegram. A con-
siderable sum of money must have
been wasted on these kilograms"

1t sent shudder over the town
Wednesday evening when the Stars
dispatch, announcing the torpedoing
of an American destroyer, was re-
ceived. Of course, we had all been ex-
pecting such news. 1t is wonderful
indeed that our destroyers have been
furrowing the seas around the Brit
ish isles for the last four months, and
not one had been struck before. How
ever, when the news came that the
crew of the destroyer had brought
their shattered vessel safely into
port, everybody felt almost as good
as though victory had been Won
Our sailors are showing themselves
brave and resourceful and they al
ways fight fair. No murder of the
helpless ever yet stained the Amer
lean flag.

If Germany wins, our lands will at
once be mortgaged for all the ter
rible struggle which will then be upon
US to save ourselves from invasion.
She will demand of US, that we pay
her indemnities running into the tens
and perhaps hundreds of billions of
dollars. All these indemnities, if
Germany could defeat US, and the
fight against them in case we alone
are able to defeat her, will be a

Won Reventlow advances the theory
that Great Britain has withdrawn
ships from service for the remainder
of the year in order to have them in
readiness to transport the Argentine
harvest in January. These withdraw
ais, he says, decrease the opportu-
mites of the submarines for sinkings.
This theory contrasts strikingly with
his earlier assertions that Great
Britain's available tonnage already
had become too small for it's needs.
Sudden changes in the routes of
ships, Count Won Reventlow says,
are making it increasingly difficult
for submarines to locate their prey.

A guardian of liberty paper sets up
a howl because the poor Jews in the
training camps are not allowed to
join either the Y. M. C. A. nor the
Knights of Columbus, and so they
have, it says, no recreation privileges.
The secretary of war says the Young
Mems Hebrew Association has join
ed with the Y. M. C. A. in recreation
work, and it is only reasonable to
suppose he knows. A mans church
membership has nothing to do with
his. chances of recreation in train
ing camp, any more than his chances
for fighting. Whether he be Prot
estant, Catholic, Jew or non-church
member, the Y. NJ. C. A. and K. of C.
rooms are open to him. and he is well
come in all.

Locating an army camp nearby a
city is not an unmixed blessing for
the city. A letter from a friend in
Macon says that prices have gone
skyhigh. The soldiers are charged
extortionate prices for everything
they buy, and of course the same
imposition is visited on the people.
The big business firms and the little
grafters make money, but the SOL
diers are robbed and the people taxed
to the limit of their resources.
