SUMMER EVENING.

A night Of June, the stars were bright.
And all the air was warm and soft.
And round about as noated Oft
Some sweet perfume. and then took flight.
Your dress was some pale summer stuff
Its light was all We cared to have.
at your feet, and near enough
Sitting to feel your fans slow wave.
OF ghosts we talked. told mystic tales
Which made both turn, almost afraid.
And peer into the woodbinc's shade.
Moved to and fro by gentle gales.
In the late evening, growing still
At last, you gazed long at the stars,
And at your fair face until
Midnight struck through the lattice bars.

The Cost of
Our Soldiers

1t doesn't make an American feel
very proud to read that 1t costs us
sl4.SO to equip soldier, where Ger
many can do it for $1.OO. OF course
some considerations enter into these
figures that exaggerate their slgnifl-
canoe. They probably include the
cost Of all the ships we must buil1
to get the supplies to the soldiers,
also what we must spend to get de-
stroyers to protect those ships from
submarines. 1t is manifestly great
deal more costly to supply an army
5000 miles away than one close at
lone.
| Also they probably include the
cost of rehabilitating the railroad
systems of France, building docks
and ports, deepening channels. etc.
We have to build cantonmets for
training the army in the United
States, and more cantonments
abroad to complete their education
But after these cantonments are con-
structed, and after the railroads AMI
docks and storehouses are compile ted
in France, that part of the work
won't need doing over.
! The American soldier will be fed
much better than the German. He
will have comforts the German never
eXnects. We would not be satisfied to
do less for him.
With all these allowances made
the cost of equipping our men will
be too high 1T will be so because
we had to do it all in hurry. We
were not able to foresee the grea'
need for instant action. Had we tax
on more seriously the threats Ger
many was making against us, had we
begun years before the work ct as
suring our safety, the cost Of prepa.
ration could have been cut in two
Bat, of course, hindsight is better
than foresight, and regrets are vair
now.
In view of these costs, labor should
be moderate in its demands for high
er wages, and capital should limit it
self to small profits. Every clas.
must expect to make sacrifices t.
