Mother Love
Reprinted By Request

Ii ali the things they say OF me
Be true as true.
And Mother knows that they are so
She II not reprove;
Dear boy of mine, Pll always be
The same to you:
Where e'er you are, or near or far,
You have my love-"
If am sunk in blacklist mire
Of deadly sin,
1t matters not single jot
To Mother-heart:
Dear boy of mine you cannot tire
The love within
My heart, weep at bonds which keep
Us two apart"
If am lost to mans estate
1t gives her pain
Yet she forgives while yet she lives,
All save neglect:
Dear boy of mine, tbs not too late
To turn again:
The day is long to right the wrong.
The fault correct"
Then how should increase the cross
She has to bear?
turn today the other way.
To seek the good.
Dear boy of mine, the only loss
Beyond repair,
A Mother left-a life bereft
Of Motherhood" BEAU EsPR1TA.

Springs coming!
No more winter ills,
Grips, nor chills,
When springs homing.
Natures beginning
Her annual cleaning:
Roses shrubs N trees
Dries 'em in the breeze.
Starts the grass a-growing,
And the fields a-plowing;
All the birds a-sinsing,
Child-sweet voices ringing.
Hearts must be glad,-
Can't now feel bad,
Nor now always sad;:
Tho griefs they've had.
We feel born all over,
A-smelling the clover,
Bright wet with the dew,
We just feel all new!
Oh. how good this!
Once every year,
Such great bliss,
When springs here!

ment are ready to declare that results
are beyond expectations and that the
'plucking" process will develop fewer
victims than anyone thought possibly
could be the case.
Stock Is being taken by the omcials
of the results obtained by weeks Of
training for the 10000 young men now
undergoing instruction in the camps.
An officer Of the army said today:
'"The lower. commissioned rank In
our national army will be filled by men
Of whom any country could be proud.
The young Americans who are attend
Ing the sixteen officers training camps
In as many sections of the country are
showing the spirit that made this
country free.

short. and only one-half Of 1t has
passed. but the results obtained make
us believe that, numerous as were the
early mistakes and trying as were the
conditions to which the men at 6rst
were subjected. the outcome will be all
that we can wish, and 1t seems to be
assured that the young Officers quickly
will get the confidence Of the men
whom they are to command and with
1t the confidence of this country and
Of its allies"
Political Pull Weakening.
The reports which come to Wash
ington from all the training camps are
that the boys have put all that they
have into their work. Washington still
10 a little fearful that some Of the
young men who may be denied commits
sions because they have not come up
to the mark may have recourse to
friendly political influence to secure
for them what they could not secure
for themselves. This fear Of the on
cials, however. IL not sharp. for with.
In q week or 20 the pressure from the
politicians for preference for this man
or that man has weakened. It can be
said for the war department that It
has stood faithful to its duty Of deny
ing requests for commissioned places
for those lacking experience and other
wise united for the work Of leading
men.
It should be understood that nothing
ike all the young men who entered the
camps will answer their names at roll
call on the day Of breaking camp. For
six weeks the weeding-out policy has
been pursued.
Men who never would make omcers
are told of their SHORTCOMINGS and sent
to their homes. In addition to this .
considerable percentage Of the men
have been sent to other camps where
they will specialize In engineering. or
In aviation.
Now that something like seven
weeks have passed and virtually full
opportunity has been given for passing
judgment on the qualifications Of each
man, it il not to be expected that the
elimination will be anything like %
many As they have been In the past ex-
cept perhGps In the cases of men who
show marked aptitude for places In the

course. are not eliminated, but dmply

the United States may perform its

The vital thing at nrst was to AZ
