OCTOBER.
OFFICE PHONE 30

Wild, fearless, free, gypsy lass
October trips the brittle grass
With flashing feet, red-brown and bare
And twigs of rowan in her hair;
With laughing, carmine-painted lips,
The frost-brewed wild-grape wine she
sips.
Her eyes upon the woods she speeds
Away across the twinkling meads;
The dancing asters nod and sway
Like children, fancy free at play;
Along the streams her swift football
Leaves tatters of her crimson shawl
With reckless hand she lights the fires
On all the forests leaf-laid pyres;
The slopes are draped with gray knit
frills,
And incense rare perfumes the hills,
All, lass, you've turned the trick-for
shame
The woods, the woods are all afame!
Anne Porter Johnson, in The Peo-
pies Home Journal for October.

Colonel Roosevelt during his night

been adopted by the senate. He paused
in his speech, smile overspread his
face and he exclaimed repeatedly:

PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED

ADDRESS TO NEWSPAPERMEN
France Is Eager to See Old Glory on
the Line of BattIe-Hasten End
of War-Favors American Of
fcers to Train Our Men.

Washington.-Mar Joffre told
the people of America Sunday through
Washington newspaper correspond
ents who called upon him that France
cherishes the confident hope that the
flag of the United States soon will
be flying on her battle lines.
The marshal, replying to questions,
said he deemed it advisable to send
one American unit at time to France
rather than to wait for the complete
equipment of a big army. because of
transportation problems. He said, too,
that he did not think Americans now
with the French army should be with
drawn to serve under the American
flag, except, possibly, a few specialists
who might be useful in developing
the training of the new American
force. He paid hearty tribute to the
valor of Americans now fighting for
France.
American officers, he believed, were
fully competent to train American
men, and he gave it as his opinion
that an American army would devel-
op rapidly.
