Greet the calvacade of stage-coach
days,
The surly looking Indian, cowboys
gay,
| The great west lives again, a flower
ing child.
In witchery bound, from out the wood
and wild.
| Hurtle your lassoo's through the sun
kist air,
! Cry with delight, forget life's idle
cares.
| Kindle anew that spark of shoulder
ing fire,
Echoing thousand wild desires.
A potent train of lustre and of grace,
Pageant of an old and dying race,
lmpatiently YOU wait with eyes that
glare,
Speaking of lost courage and de-
spair.
Willow of the wilderness your dance,
Whisperings of yesterday your
glance,
Sick your heart. dark cIouriets shade
the sun.
ihuiah' your SuoruonS nearly won.
Cowboy whose moose whips out song |
Reaching the gay hearts of cheering |
thTong,
Downing the wild horse and the mu-
tinouS steer,
Amid the sounds OF valiant lusty
cheers.
Coaxing your pet horse, fastest of
your string.
Urging him onward, as on magic
wings,
On with the race. riders rough and
bold.
On with the race. onward to the goal.
'endleton, end of the cowboys trail.
)oubly blest your spirit never fails

FRENCH! WOMEN
TO Do LAUNDRY
WORK OF SAMMIES

French women are to be used by
the American Government in the
laundry units OF the quartermaster's
corps soon to be organized for work
with Pershing's expeditionary forces.
Trench warfare, due largely to the
rains that prevail IN France and Bel
gium, requires soldiers to make a
complete change Of clothing when
they are relieved from service in the
front line. To renovate the personal
equipment OF the overseas forces.
laundries are maintained behind the
lines with every division of troops.
Thus far no cleaners have been
sent abroad with the American troops.
and the laundry facilities of the
French. and British troops have been
used. General Pershing's recounmsn-
dstiona to the War Department ask
that each division be equipped with
q complete laundry unit, in command
OF a captain. and made up of men
who are skilled in the cleaning and
preserving Of uniforms and other
clothing.
The quartermasteT corps IS now en-
RACED IN outlining the organizations
and arranging for modern laundry
equipment to be sent abroad. The or
Ganizations will provide for the en-
ploymeut OF sufficient French women
to do all needleWor< needed TO re-

We sometimes use the terms conserva-

on the other hand is the efficiency that

The United States
Should Fight Fire
With Fire In Russia

Our freshest cablegrams are to the
effect that the allied diplomats have gone
to thinking about Russia.
They think that, since German staff
officers are helping to run the Lenine
pro-German government at Petrograd,
Russia may become the tacit if not the
active ally Of Germany.
They think that a million or so Of Ger
man and Austrian war prisoners held in
Russia will soon be released and return
to the Austro-Gernan armies.
They think that vast stores Of food.
oil and cotton in Russia will be accessible
to Germany.
And while they think, Germany acts!
1t is only one more instance in which
German statecraft has thoroly wiped the
allied eye.
For three years past, Germany has
kept Russia crammed with spies and pro-
German propagandists, and when the rev.
olution came, there was Germany pre-
pared to solidly back any promising fac
tiou that favored Germany. The counter
move was there for the allies. There was
no substantial backing with funds. food
and advisers, Of the civil and military
elements in Russia that were reliably
anti-German. 1t was merely hoped that
Kerensky represented such elements. He
