GHOSTS OF THE NEW WORLD.

GHOSTS OF THE NEW WORLD.
("'There are no ghosts in America-O
There are no ghosts, you say.
To haunt her blaze of light;
No shadows in her day,
No phantoms in her night.
Columbus tattered sail
Has passed beyond her hail.
You'll meet In Salem town
No silver buckled shoon;
No lovely witch to drown,
Or burn beneath the moon;
Not even whit of tea,
On Boston's ghostly quay.
Then let your Pullman cars
Go roaring to the west
TILL watched by lonlier stars,
The cactus lifts its crest.
In that strange painted land
One deso1ate shade shall stand.
Majestic and forlorn,
Wreck of a dying race.
The red man, half in scorn,
Shall raise spectral face,
Inscrutable as the sky,
To watch our ghosts go by.
Must Europe grope at last
Where Rip Van Wrinkle went.
To find an age has passed
And lit a continent,
And made "a world elsewhere
With graves, and graves to spare?
o ghostly Spanish walls,
Where brown Franciscans glide.
Is there no voice that calls
Across the Great Divide
To pilgrims on their way
Along the Santa Fe?
What? On that magic coast,
Where Raleigh fought with fate;
Or where that Devon ghost
Unbarred the Golden Gate,
Saw you no strange bronzed men
Beat 1t from sea again?
Must all those dead lie still?
Must not the night disgorge
The ghosts of Bunker Hill,
The ghosts Of Valley Forge,
Or Englands mightier son,
The ghost of Washington?
No ghosts where Lincoln fell?
No ghost for seeing eyes?
l know an old cracked bell
Shall make ten million rise.
When his immortal ghost
Calls to the slumbering host.

NAVY YARD PAY GOES UP.
Labor To Cost The Government 10 Per
Cent, More.

An agreement on wage scales virtu-
ally was reached yesterday between
the Navy Department and the Presi-
dents of the international trade
unions representing navy yard en-
ployees. While figures have not been
finally decided. it was announced Off
cially that the conference had reached
a point where the trade-union men
expected to sign up today for the en-
suing year. The effect of the scale
under consideration will be to in
crease the cost of navy yard labor to
the government more than 10 per
cent over the scale for 1917, which ex-
pired September "a
Equalization of pay within the
trades is proposed, and, ii was said,
the effect would be to place all of
the men on the basis of pay of the top
men of that trade. The actual IN
crease for the high men would be
small, some cases not more than 2
per cent For the men in lower rat
ings, however, the advance would be
% per cent or more.
While the War Department did not
participate in the conferences, it is
expected that under the standardiza-
ton policy for civil employees of the
army and navy and of the Shipping
Board, men at the arsenals and en-
gagged on government shipbuilding
outside the navy yards in many cases
will benefit from the new plan.

At The Republic Tonight.

Valeska Suratt appears at the Repub-
lie tonight in Wife Number Two"
"Wife Number Two" is one of the
best pictures ever put out by the ia
nous Empress of Fashion, the title
won by Miss Suratt from her beautiful
creations. 1t is the story of young.
beautiful girl who at her fathers in
sistence marries a man much her SEN
ior. From the first her welded life is
unhappy, despite the efforts of her
husband, a widower, to devote himself
to his bride.
To escape the dullness of home and
the pickering of her mother.in-law
the girl seeks the company of younger
men. Their attentions are only pass
ing for they soon tire of her and for
sake her.
The girl then awakens to the fulfill
ty OF her existence. She sets out to
end her life but gets new courage and
turns to face her husband and seeks
his forgiveness. But then, the bank
of the stream on which she was stand
ing caves in and she is drowned in the
rushing waters.
"Wife Number Two was written
and directed by William Nigh. In
MISS Suratt's supporting cast are Eric
Name, Dan Mason. j. i. Laler, Martin
Faust, Mathilde Brundage. John Colds
worthy, Peter Lang and William Bur-
ton.
Miss Suratt does very unusual and
daring act in this photodrama. For
an actress whose name has become a
synonym throughout the world for
brilliant and beautiful gowns it is just
short of brave to come out in pro-
duction in an ordinary garden variety
ginghsm dress. But it proves to be
the best thing Miss Suratt ever did.
It shows that her beauty is not de-
pendent on beautiful gowns. Miss
Suratt looks as pretty and attractive
in that gingham dress and bonnet as
she does in the dazzling creations
which have caused so much comment
in other photoplays.

SAVE SKIM MILK
FOR HUMAN BEINGS
While Useful For Animal Feeding 1t
VIII Serve Its Best Use as
Food For Folks.

Although skim milk is recognized
as having great value in feeding ami
mails, the United States Department OF
Agriculture points out that its value
as human food should be kept in
mind. BY substituting grain. green
feed, buttermilk, and whey in animal
feeding, much skim milk may be left
for human use as a beverage, in cook
ing, condensing, or for making cot
tage cheese. Only the surplus of this
valuable human food should be fed to
stock.
While skim milk is good for stock,
the fact remains that its highest effici-
ency can not be had through turning
in into meat Skim milk is used most
economically in animal production
when fed to hogs. yet it takes 20
pounds when fed alone TO produce /
pound of pork. The same quantity
will make ounces of cottage
cheese. In addition, cottage cheese
contains / 1-2 times as much protein
and one-third as much energy as
pork, so that the skim milk in the
cheese form gives quite as much en-
ergy and 1-2 times as much protein
as il would il converted into ham or
bacon
Even at the highest prices recently
paid for hogs, skim milk fed to them
is worth not more than 1 cent a
pound Yet cent a pound or APP
proximately l cent pint. is very
cheap for any human food. and par
ticularly for a fod so high in nutri-
tive value as skim milk.

Drafted Colored Men To Be Sent
To All Cantonments

All army training environments will
be available for the training of negro
drafted troops. This has been an
nounced by Newton d. Baker, Secre-
tary of War.
The War Department had not at
first contemplated training negro
troops with the white troops, but, as
set forth by Mr. Baker. in view of the
many men who will be withdrawn
from the camps to fill up the Ma
tional Guard and other branches the
War Department has again modified
its arrangements.
1t is now the purpose to train a
complete unit of negroes at each OF
the sixteen environments. The size
of the unit will depend upon the num-
Der of negroes drafted from the di-
yisional area which supplies each
cantonment, but where there is a
large surplus men will be sent to
posts with smaller numbers for con-
solidation with the training units
there.
