When the final taps is sounded, and we
lay aside life's cares;
And we do the last parading up the
Shining Golden Stairs,
And the Angels bid us welcome and the
Harps begin to play,
And we draw million canteen checks
and spend them in day;
1t is then we hear St. Peter tell us
Loudly with a yell;
Take a front seat, Third Oregon, for
you've done your hitch in He'll.

View built a hundred kitchens for iae
cooks to stew our beans;
We'v stood a hundred guard mounts,
and cleaned the camp up clean;
We've washed a million mess kits and
peeled a million spuds;
We'v rolled a million blanket rolls,
and washed a million duds.
The number of parades we've made
would be hard to tell;
But they II not parade in Heaven, for

We we killed million rattlesnakes that
tried to take our cots.
And shook a hundred centipedes from
out our army socks.
We we marched a hundred thousand
miles and made a thousand
camps;
And pulled a million cactus thorns from
out our army pants;
And when our work on Earth is done,
our friend behind will tell;
When they died they went to Heaven,
for they done their hitch in

HYLAN WARNS mitchell:
GRAND JURY ISN'T DONE

Judge Hylan Enve public readings
at five meetings last night and made
vague hints OF legal action against
Mayor Mitchell in connection with the
land deals that caused the indictment
OF ex-senator Reynolds. The biggest
meeting was at the Yorkville Casino.
Other meetings were at the New
Star Casino, Suffers Harlem River
Park. and at Hotel Astor.
MIR. Mitchell pretends TO find salts
faction in the fact that he has not
been indicted along with his friends"
said Judge Hylan. THE Grand Jury
has not completed IT'S work. Let
him prepare TO reconcile his conflict
Ing deienses and to present them at
a time when he cannot talk about pol
tiles. Let him then be prepared to ex
plain why he permitted Reynolds
dummy to purchase land at G5 cents a
square foot at a time when the city
itself could have purchased 1t at the
same price.
What were MIR. Prendergast and
his expert o. Malley doing when Rey-
nolds and his crew were making this
raid on tho public treasury?
The Grand Jury should go on with
Its labors and undoubtedly 1t will
after election.
'If MIR. Mitchell wants to discuss
this land deal from n political view
point, let him explain how Sam Koe-
mig, the Republican boss, when a
State Land Commissioner, struck out
clause in the grant from the State
which would have permitted the city
to recapture forty seven acres of this
land at $500 an acre, the price finally
paid to the state by Reynolds and
his gang That same land was sold
TO the city at the rate OF S5,O32 an
acre. This Is the same Sam Koenig

chine which perpetrated the frauds on

SUGAR FAMINE MAY CLOSE
CONDENSED MILK PLANTS
Biz Supplies to The Allies Threat
ened by Shortage in New
York.

All the big condensed milk companies
have Government and Rcd Cross con-
tracts to supply huge quantities OF
sweetened condensed milk to the Allies
in Europe and Russia. which demand
their entire output. The shortage OF
sugar threatens to close some Of the
plants.
Russia has ordered 1900 cases Of
sveetenod condensed milk for babies
under three years Of age and the Red
Cross has ordered 10000 cases for the
soldiers in France.
Daniel c. Edsall, buying agent for the
Ncstles Food Company here, said this
morning that unless he could secure
supplies of sugar within the next two
DAYS. three or four Of the company's
eighteen condensed milk plants would
have to close. He denied reports from
Washington that the Nestle's Food
Company is boarding 1O,OOO.OOO pounds OF
sugar In Buffalo warehouses.
There Is now some free sugar on the
way from Hawaii. IT Is said, which will
relieve the shortage slightly before the
Cuban crop begins to come in.
