THE WHITE COMRADE
BY Robert Haven Schauffler

And their bullets flew
Straight at mark no bullet could
fail;
For the seeker was tall and his
robe was bright;
But did not flee nor quail.
Instead with unhurrying stride
He came.
And gathering my tall frame
Like child in his arms -.
swooned and awoke
From blissful dream
In cave by stream.
My silent comrade had bound my
side.
No pain now was mine. but a wish
that I spoke
A mastering wish to serve this
man
Who had ventured through hell my
doom to revoke,
AS only the truest of comrades can.
begged him to tell me how best
might aid him.
And urgently prayed him
Never to leave me. whatever be-
tide
When I saw he was hurt
Shot through the hands that were
cIasped I'm prayeri
Then. as the dark drops gathered
there
And fell in the dirt,
The wounds Of my friend
Seemed to mo such as no man
might bear
Those bullet holes In the patient
hands
Seemed to transcend
All horrors that ever these war
drencired hands
Had known or would know till the
mad worlds end.
Then suddenly was aware
That his feet had been wounded too:
And, diInming the white of his side.
A dull stain grew.
"You are. Aurt. White Contradict"
/ cried,
His words / really foreknew:
These are old wounds" said he,
but of late they have troubled
me"

Then Ny Thoughts
Drift Back To You

When the ringing notes of Reveilie
BY the morning winds caressed.
Echo upon 81 sleeping camp
And arouse us from Our rest;
When he last sweet notes have
sounded
Soft on the morning dew,
Ard I drowsily roll from out my cot.
Then my thoughts drift back 10 you.
When the sun rises in it's glory
And drives the chill from out the
air.
For here beneath the southern skies
The days are warm and fair
When out on the field we are drilling
Under those skies of blue;
I scarcely hear the sharp commands.
For my thoughts are back with you.
Throughout the day when we are at
work
In the field or on marches long.
And the fellows are jolly and CHEEKY
With outhursts of cheer and song;
When we are eating our beans and
spuds,
Or no mater what we do,
There is always time for thinking
And those thoughts are all of you
And when the day is finished
BY the joyful call of Retreat;
When DER the camp the notes of Taps
Seem to lull the boys to Sleep
Then my thoughts are drifting, drift
ing,
Just as they always do,
And they carry me back off to sium-
berland,
Full of sweet dreams of you.

Under our curtain of fire,
Over the clothed ciOds,
We charged. to be withered. to reel
And despairfrgly wheel
When the bugles babe us retire
From the terrible odds.
AS we ehbed with the battle tide
Fingers of red-hot steel
Suddenly closed on my side.
I fell. and began to pray
I crawied on my hands and lay
Where q shallow sneli-erater
yawned wide:
Then / swooned
When I woke IL was yet day.
Fierce was the pain in my wound,
Yet saw 1t Was death to stir,
For fifty PAGES away
Their trenches were.
In torture prayed for the dark
And the atealthy sfen OF my friend
Who, stanch to the very end,
Would creep to the danger zone
And offer his life as a mark
To save my own.
Night fell. I heard his tread,
Not stealthy. but firm and serene,
AS il my comrades head
Were lifted far from that scene
OF passion and pain and dread
AS If my comrades heart
In carnage took no part:
AS If my comrades feet
Were set ON some radiant street
SUCH as no darkness might haunt
AS if my eaYnrode's eyes
Ne deiuge OF flame might SUNRISE.
No death and destruction daunt.
No red -beaked bird dtsmay,
Nor sight OF decay
Then IN the bursting shells dim
light
I saw he was clad Ia white.
For a moment I thought that
saw the smoek
OF a shepherd in search Of his
flock,
Or some woman crazed by fright.

Twenty-Five Flags Float For Woman's Freedom
Throughout the World

Minister Kerensky is a suffragist am.
1t Is the opinion of Mr.. ]. G. Ohsol, Il
former member of the Russian Duma
now in this country. that the working
mems councils will insist that, since
women have borne a leading part In
every revolutionary and educational
movement in modern Russia, they shall
be enfranchised at once.
With "Babushka' Breshkovsky there
are coming back into Russia from exile
and prison thousands Of women. "Tu
deny these women even temporarily
the right to vote on the future of Rus
sia,' says Mr.. Ohsol, will not be toler
ated by the masses" 1t is the opinion
of Russian Women Of prominence in
this country that behind the Russian
revolution is the shining promise of
woman's freedom.
On April Goth. Gustavus Losle, a
member of the German Reichstag,
openly advocated full woman suffrage
In Germany ION the ground that 1t
was through the efforts of millions of
German women that the existence of
the nation had been preserved"

by these % flags as a concrete illustra-
ton of the fact that in no country ex-
cept the United States are women
forced to seek political freedom by ref
erendum to a general electorate.
Since January l, 1917. the franchise
has been conferred upon the women of
Ontario, Canada, by act of the provin-
cial legislature.
After eleven years of waiting, French
women have this year seer their mu-
nicipal suffrage bill fayorably reported.
In February, 1917, the committee on
universal suffrage of the Chamber of
Deputies voted favorably on the Elan
din suffrage bill which, when passed,
will give French women municipal
franchise and eligibility to municipal
offices. 1t Is sponsored by Monsieur
Pierre Etienne F~landin, deputy from
the Yonne, who believes it's chances
for passage are good and that, once
passed, the vote for national represent
atives will loon be added.

AL WOODS TO PRO-
DUCE TARGET

At the Apollo Theatre, on Monday,
July 9, A. H. Woods will present
"The Target" a new play in three acts
by Samuel Shipman author of Gle
waiting a Husband" children of To-
day., and other successes. Mr..
Woods, whose acumen in discerning
merit in plays is well-known, has
chosen "The Target" because of it's
novelty of theme and powerful treat
ment and expects it to prove a success
sor in popularity to within the
Law" Common Clay" and other dra-
matte sensations that were produced
under his standard. "The Target"
deals with a crucial moment in life
of a beautiful woman threatened by
a persistent admirer and former hus-
band. She puts herself to the test
with the one, and is unconsciously
tested by the other who seeks to de-
stroy her home and avenge himself on
her husband. A startling series of
situations is developed, which for
sheer originality and dramatic power
promise to rival anything seen on the
stage in years. The woman roves
true to herself, and her ideals and
ave her home from the very jaws
Of disaster. Mr.. Woods has selected
a perfect cast. Emmett Corrigan
and the beautiful Clara Joel of with
in the Law" and Common Clay" fame
will play the leading roles. The others
in the splendid company are Harry c.
Browne, Harry Mestayer, James
Spottswood, Maidel Turner and Doro-
thy Bernard.

at the Apollo all next week.

Piano, Organ, String Instruments.
Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children

be we'll tested before an opinion can be
