War, Hot and Cold

The successful military parade OF yes
terday, small az it was, has big moral
1t undoubtedly did more for recruiting
than any number of speeches. Our highly
intelligent friends of the Marine Corps
knew exactly what they were about when
thew closed their week Of recruiting with
display of trained fighters. They will
undoubtedly get the 1000 men they need,
and they deserve them. Their drive for
recruits was conducted quite as efficiently
as is everything else in that admirable
body Of frst-class fighting men.
The truth is we are being asked to go
to war cold; and the sensation is not
pleasant one. Military necessity, of
course, prevents complete publicity for our
men leaving for France. But there is no
earthly reason why there should not be a
frequent display of our regiments on our
streets. The country wants to say good
by to its departing thousands, and with
proper restrictions there is no reason why
the desire should not be granted. If 1t
were enthusiasm would find its natural
outlet and development. Instead of its
being necessary to pump up enthusiasm
artificially at recruiting meetings, 1t would
be stirring normally in the blood of each
of us.
Bret Harte knew what he was doing
when he wrote his recruiting song to the
drum. More drums and less talk would
be the best recipe for volunteers. Can't
our excellent local committee place the
facts before the powers at Washington
and see what can be done to make warfare
a little more like warfare and little less
like a college course in applied philan-
thrOpY?

The East Wind

1Fron IT., Ncic witness
The spring was mild. the air was warm,
All green the things upon the farm;
The corn put forth its tender sprout
The daqodils came bursting out;
Above the hedge, in Swimming flight.
The blackbirds hardly touched the light,
Whilst in the meadows lush and green
The lambs and foals at play were seen.
When suddenly the wind turned round
And blew across from "Deadman's Ground
Where Farmer Rogers caught his wife
And killed her with carving knife.
The Oldest laborers about
Who read the weather inside out,
Say. when it comes from out that quarter,
You know it's nothing else but slaughter.
For when il blows from there by night
II fills the animals with fright;
And when it blows from there by day
1t drives your happiness away.
II nips the fruit. it starves the corn,
And everything that's newly born;
1t sweeps the land with icy breath,
And strikes all growing things with death.
The farmer feels his liver growl,
And soon his children start TO howl.
Until they wonder why the weather
Can fiji a man wi crazy blether.
He kicks his dog, then rushes out
To sack his foreman with a shout:
Growls at his wife, and scolds his daughter
Because the ducks have left the water;
He sees the wrack upon the wing,
And feels his life a wasted thing;
The laborers, with wrinkied faces,
Are keeping in the shady places,
Afraid Of wind and master, too
An vor, caroful .rhat tbav do
Down in the fields, with backs all hunched
The horses and the cattle. punched,
Stard by the hedge TO miss the blast
That walls and whines and whistles past
Their coats are RULED wrong way round,
Because it blows off "Desdman's Ground;
Their tails are down. their eyes are dull.
And quiet is the angry bull.
But yet the sky is bright and blue
With everything of clearest hue:
The Wolds are close enough to feel
Their trees and houses cut in steel
The sun is tempting with a smile,
The wind is staying with knife
ut aggravated Rogers's bile
He killed himself upon his wfe).
1t kills the young, it kills the old
II fells the timid with the bold
Swift as fash, hard as a stone,
Sharp as a flint dry as bone.
II perces you without sound
The blast that comes from "Deadman ;,
Ground;
For when the wind is in the cast
It's fit for neither man nor beast
