WHAT OUR BOYS
ARE APPROACHING
The Soldiers Going to France ana
Flanders and What They VIII
Do, to be Told by Veteran
British Officer.

"The Keokuk boys and the nation
al guard and national army soldiers
who are starting for war In the
trenches are beginning a work which
is the more dreaded by their friends,
because it is unknown in reality 70
most people here" said keokuk
man the other day. The High Ten
sion club recognized the truth in this
remark and at once set about TO bet
ter conditions along that line.
A committee of the club looked all
over the field and decided that the
best way TO discover exactly what
our American soldiers are entering
upon is to get some British soldier of
large experience both in the field and
in the early days when England was
caught as unprepared as we were by
declaration of war. Then they oe-
cided that Capt. Leslie NJ. Vickers Is
the man-not only because OF ms
long and splendid service in the
trenches, but because he has the
faculty, not common in soldiers, OF
being able to paint a vivid word PIC
ture of the things he is describing.
They rented the Grand theatre for
next Sunday afternoon, engaged Cap
tain yickers, guaranteeing all ex-
penses. and arranged for an entirely
new lecture by the veteran British
officer on the British army in the
making and in action. This gives
opportunity for all the people OF Lee,
Clark and Hancock counties TO learn
exactly what they want most to kno"
right now Moreover, they can learn
it in a most entertaining way. The
lecture will begin at o'clock sharp
and the Keokuk chapter of the Red
Cross will get all the net receipts
obtained from the nominal admission
price of Is and 25 cents

All forms OF life endless: each frah vase
Is emptied Ger and o'er-but filed again;
And never tangled is the wondrous maze
OF natures melodies through endless days
And yet forever and sweet TO men
Cleans hint that life upon some future waits;
The worm cannot forecast the butterfly
And yet the transformation but creates
A step in the same nature which now mates
Our own-and may hfe's mystery unite
Mayhap the butterfly this message brings:
THE law, uncomprehended, obey;
Although the IowIiest of earth-bred things,
Even have been reborn with urgent wings,
And heayenvard Iy-who cIept but yesterday"

A well known Chicago travelling man, repre-

voices comprehension and appreciation in a
letter received today: On the train the other
night l accidentally came across a copy OF The
Gate City I was somewhat surprised at the
general appearance of your paper, editorially
and geographically. l believe | read pretty
nearly everything in it and certainly
was surprised at its general metropolitan ap-
pearance. To my mind, your newspaper and
your one good hotel are about twenty years
ahead of the town.
Such is The Gate City. Each day it gives
much of its space without any hope of reward.
