nevertheless, he knows that insofar as
it is humanity possible to foresee, his
effort will inevitably result in merely
a local success which can have no de-
termining influence, on the final out
come of the war.
Pointing out that France and England
have done a mighty task, Baker added:
It's UP to America.
cit is our duty in looking to the
future to realize that if we are to full
fill the pledge we made on entering the
war, if we are to fight this war to a
successful conclusion, we must assume
the full responsibility that rests upon
us. We are the freshest in the struggle; !;
we have the reserve man power and the
reserve mechanical power Our armies
constitute the reserves of victory
Noting the addition of fresh Teuton
forces in Italy, the secretary said the
Hun is trying to get Italy out of the
war and seeking to accomplish an en-

truction of Italian and allied forces

" "subversive propaganda, - within

fighting morale of the Italian people"

Tales of the Town
THE BOY WHO DIDN'T PASS.

A sad faced little fellow sits alone in
deep disgrace,
There's lump arising in his throat
and tears stream down his face;
He wandered from his playmates, for
he doesn't want to hear
Their shouts of merry laughter since
the world has lost its cheer,
He has slipped the cup of sorrow, he
has drained the bitter glass,
And his heart is fairly breaking; he's
the boy who didn't pass.
In the apple tree the robin sings a
CHEEKY little song,
But he doesn't seem to hear il, show
ing plainly something's wrong;
Comes his faithful little spaniel for
romp and bit Of play,
But the troubled little fellow sternly
bids him 80 away.
And alone he sits in sorrow, with his
hair a tangled mass,
And his eyes are red with weeping;
he's the boy who didn't pass.
Oh. you who boast a laughing son and
speak Of him as bright.
And you who love a little girl who
comes TO you tonight
With smiling eyes and dancing feet,
with honors from her school,
Turn 20 that lonely boy who thinks he
Is q fool,
And take him kindly by the hand, the
dullest in the class;
He is the one who most needs love-
the boy who didn't pass.

CURRENT COMMENT.

We have not lost faith in the
American people. Beneath the surface
of a national life which seems TO be
growing fatally Indifferent to all high
moral and patriotic ideal, there still
abide the latent forces that though
they slumber do not die. Before our
Civil war there were many who af-
firmed that the nation was sunken in
selfishness and the lust for gold How
magnifioently il rose, however, when
the great call came and a holy cause
demanded sacrifice and service. War
is not the only instrument in the
hands Of Him who guides the desti-
MES Of men to rouse them from their
indulgence and ease BY the sum-
mons TO some sublime service to hui
manity the national heart, we believe,
will yet be stirred till it reveals the
hidden depths Of its moral strength
and devotion. After all. il is rela-
lively only the few among as who
have succumbed to the demoralizing |
influence Of selfish interests. These
are not the nation. The average man
IL still sound at heart.

that Russia is governed by Aquarius

also thinks it has the prettiest girls

fellow who has the reputation Of be-

that you should pay him. This $40

which a man pays dollar to another
who hands it to the next man whom
he owed, and so on through 10 men, I

the tenth man paid it back to the /
first in settlement Of a debt. and the
