NO PATIENCE WITH THE IDLE.

Following the example set by Presi-
dent Wilson, Gov. John j. Cornweil
appeared before the two houses OF
the West Virginia Legislature yes
terday and delivered his address. De-
claring that "idleness in this crisis
is unpatriotic," Governor Cornwell
urged that appropriate measures be
passed dealing with the problem OF
idleness and that public sentiment
should be invoked to drive the loafer
to the field, the factory or the mne. "
Governor Cornwell's example
should be followed by the executives
of every state in the union. No eS-
cuse for indolency can be urged at
this time, as men are wanted every
where.
Among the prisoners who faced
the bar in the Police Court this
morning was young and vigorous
negro. He had been picked up for
yagrancy. The officer who made
the arrest stated that the ac-
cused was averse to work, The court

AMERICAS CAMP OF MARS.

While motoring through the Ar
lington Reservation yesterday and
watching the incessant arrivals OF
Young men who have offered their
services to their country, and noting
the great transition which mas taken
place at the former home Of George
Washington Parke Gusts and
Robert E. Lee, our mind went back
to the early days Of the war between
the states. 1t was feared by the fed
erals that the Confederates would
take what was known as Arlington
Heights, which command the capital
citv. Early in the conflict the United
States realized the Importance OF for
tifying these heights. and after the
first battle of Bull Run great anxiety
existed in Washington, as it was
feared the victorious southerneis
would attack Arlington when the
capital would be at their mercy. For
some reason, however, never made
plain TO the world, the Confederates
did not follow up their victory, and
he fears of the federals subsequently
passed away.
At present the descendants of those
who wore the blue and gray are busy
preparing to fight under the Stars
and Stripes three thousand miles from
home. if necessary. The shades CT
Gusts and Lee may at present be
looking down upon this yerltable
Camp of Mars. where brave young
men of a long united country are
manifesting their patriotism. Not
only is the patriotism of united
country in evidence, but the flag Oh
England. cur mother country, and
that of France, our ally over cen
turv and a third ago, are flying ny
the side of the Stars and Stripes.
Seventeen hundred young men
were gathered last night at the OIL
GERS Reserye Training Camp for the
purpose of learning how they may
help to suhdue Germany. the COM
mon enemy of civilization.
The prospective officers got to
work on their training at $50 this
morning. That is wher revellle
sounded. From then on until 9:43
o'clock tonight when taps will be
sounded, they will be learning how
to fight and how to direct others IN
battling.
Il looked as if the fellows have
been brought to Fort Myer for
frolic. They have been petted and
almost pampered. The camp re-
sembles u great reunion of college
students. The North is meeting the
South and they all like each other.
Students from nearly all the COL
lcges, big and small, included in the
states mentioned are at the fort.
The situation Of the camp is ideal.
It is elevated and overlooks the Po-
tomac River. with Washington nest
ling in the distance.

BURR0
 CAUSES \ LAUGH

Twelfth street Was interested the other day, says the Kansas City Star. The fancy of that cosmopolitan street is varied. It will ignore a hook and ladder truck, three patrol wagons and a man in evening dress on stilts; then, just as you decide it is nopelessly blase. it will internationally surrender to waiter carrying a tray of dishes across ten feet of sidewalk.
 When a shaggy burro, riding n d new siX-cylnder motor car. it's wire wheels glistening, came along, the Twelfth street idlers looked for the ad- vertisement on the rear. Beholding none, they abandoned al other activi ties to watch the new spectacle
 Thus it was along the whole line of the buiros triumphal progress Peo- pie stopped, looked, laughed. and went away happier for the incident. The burro and the motor car were the hit of the day.
 The answer? The burro had come all the way from Phoenix, Ariz., with a carload of embryo pork. The receiving agent was George E. Cole. live stock commission man, and the ultimate con signees, MT. Coles grand children. He was just taking the burro home from the stock yards.
 And it's name is Arizona.

THE SHUlAMITE z

From out the misted margent or dead years I saw a masque of regal women move, And some were pale, some passionate with tears, While others smiled; these were the Queens of Love. Out of the mists they moved in stately wise Purple and gold upon each garments hem, And looked at me aloof with aliens eyes, Who let them go and spoke no wo~d with them. So passed. till suddenly l was aware Of one who moved among the sandaled throng< Barefoot, Wreath of grape bloom in her hair. And lips that seemed to tremble With stilled song; On her young limbs a golden hue of sun That pallid made appear the beauties white; Simple her garb; of gold and jewels none. Who art thou, Lovliest? The Shula- mite. The cinctured queens in silent scorn depart. Tarry, BelovedT We are one at heart.
