To be little kind
His legal name is William Jones,
But you can let it lie,
For that is not tn moniker
We rockies knew him by.
From reveille till taps at night,
He never once is still,
A-teachin' all we greenies just
Tn proper way to drill
An when we make mess of things
He smiles his widest then
Gle knows we're tryin' hard to please)
An puts us through again. :
When heat is turn n us to grease
An backs seem like to break,
He doesn't cuss US, same as some,
At every small mistake.
He knows, this Jonesey boy, he knows
We want to do what's right.
Say. but it puts tn heart in you
When you are treated white.
An you should see how quick we learn
The various commands.
Cts twice as easy when you're taught
BY one who understands
So, gee, hope when we are shipped
To somewhere cross the sea
That Jonesey is the officer
They put in charge of me.
For he's man, this Jonesey lad,
A man clean through and through;
An that's tn: kind we privates want
When there's real work to do.
1t officers could only read
What's in rooky's mind,
think the chances are there'd be
More Of the Jonesey kind.

Ero.German Senators Succeed in De-

Washington, March 2.-Senator
Stone today moved that the senate
proceed with the consideration of the
armed neutrality bill, as reported
from the foreign relations commit
tee. This bill gives the president tho
right to arm merchant ships and to
use "other instrumentalities'' for the
protection OF American rights.
Senator La Toilette demanded q
roll call on the Stone motion and the
motion prevailed by q vote Of sixty.

situation, however. prevented the con.

Stone gave notice that he would move
to take 1t up at o'clock after vote

the evidence Of it's authenticity

confirm the belief that the presiden

Members Of congress wanting an ex

that some senator's who have become
suddenly indignant may think. the
senator from Massachusetts repre-
sents the president and speaks for
him, but If so the knowledge would
be very surprising to many Of us
here"
Denying that the personality or
prestige of the president is involved,
Senator Stone ASSERTED that Senator
Lode introduced his resolution out
of patriotic curiosity"
"And now it is intimated that /
am at fault" he continued, for
seeking to add a request to that Of
the senator from Massachusetts who
Is SO anxious to support the pres-
dent when it pleases him and always
quick to oppose him when it pleases
him."
Turning to Senator Salisbury, Sena-
tor Stone said: Senators must be
exceedingly sensitive. There must be
some nerves running through thei,
bones that start brainstorm on very
slight provocation.
L shall use such power as I have
to prevent this country entering the
war until I feel that its vital inter-
ests and honor are assailed and that
there Is no honorable escape.

dent. When I talk to him talk az
