According TO reports from the Dau-
phin-Perry League circuit. President
E. c. Lut zis in bad repute. This is
proof that he is just like other league
leaders. The controversy is over a
protested game decision. President
LutZ gave his decision. Usually there
are rules providing for appeals. There
should be no discord in the DIP
League. The game is furnishing much
interest, Newport is setting a pace
that attracts much attention. and it
should be play BALI from now until
the race is decided.
Shooters from Lancaster, York and
West Fairview are here to-day in
competition with Harrisburg crack
shots. 1t is the second of a series OF
contests by the Pennsylvania Four

YOUNG SOLDIERS OF FRANCE

(To The Thousands Who Have Fallen).
Sleep, little fighters, out in the light;
Safe from the sorrow and storm of the fight
Safe from the heartache the hurt and the tears;
safe from the stress and the strife of the years;
one with the birds of the summer that nest
over the dream of your nd-narrowed rest;
One with the winds of the morning that creep
Out from the night, where the darkness is deep;
Singing to you
In the dawn and the dew,
sleep, little fighters, sleep"
Sleep, little fighters, safe in the night
Out from the struggle and grip the fight;
Under the blossom of lily and rose,
Under the white covered sweep of the SHOWS;
Ever above on the low-nounded sward
summer and winter and spring keep the guard
One with the winds of the twilight that sweep
Out from the day where the weary must weep,
Grooming to you
All the flaming night through.
sleep, little heroes, Sleep
Sleep, little dreamers, by rifle and lance.
Giving your blood for the glory of France;
Leaving your broken young bodies as shields
And ramparts of faith thousand red fields;
Green be your couch where the white lilies lean.
Gentle the darkness that gathers between;
God, send Thy dreams when the darkness is deep
Borne on the winds of the twilight that creep
Singing to you
All eternity through,
Sleep little dreamers, Sleep"
