THE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW

All the world is on a tension
From this record war;
Not a nation you can mention
But has felt its cruel jar.
And the problem now is feeding
Those who carry on the row.
So the man the world is needing
Is the Man Behind the Plow.
Soldiers training for such cunning
On the seas and on the land
AS to put the foe to running
When the captain gives command.
Every man to duty bending
With the sweat upon his brow,
But for strength to fight depending
On the Man Behind the Plow.
Transportations mighty moguls
Are belching fire, stream and smoke
While the painting beast of burden
Presses to the calling yoke
In an effort to be ready
For the forced, uncalled-for blow;
And our confidence is steady
With the Man Behind the Plow.
Not laggard nor shirker.
Nor an idle plot of ground,
Nathan l,,1f
In this nation should be found
Men in trenches bleeding, dying,
Keeping their enlistment VOW,
Hungry women, children, crying
To the Man Behind the Plow..
Not in hatred nor for conquest
Would we dale to take a stand,
But in kindness make our protest
For the good of every land.
If we're right then God will aid us,
Help us make good freedoms vow
And we pray to Him who made us
Help the Man Behind the Plow.
God of pity and compassion,
Look upon this human sea;
Help us follow in the fashion
Of the Man of Galifee
When His enemies assaulted,
Pressed the thorns upon His brow
May this conflict soon be halted
By the Man Behind the Plow.

Washington, Nov. 17.-An Ameri- can soldier of General Pershing's for ces was found guilty by courtmartial of rape and murder of a French wo- man, has been executed by a firing squad. All details of this, the first death penalty imposed since the troops landed in Europe, are being withheld by the war department.
 When full report has been re- ceived from General Pershing it prob ably will be published, as officials want the world to know how the Amer ican army deals with men who com init such crimes, Secretary Baker said today that General Pershing had full power to carry out the courtmatrial sentence, without referring the case to the president.

CONSUMERS TO PAY ANTHRACITE
 WAGE INCREASE

Washington, Nov. IT. - Wage ln- creases ranging from 15 to A per cent for Pennsylvania anthracite miners were agreed to by the operators here today, on condition that the advances are absorbed in higher coal prices. As soon as they had signed their ten taive new contract, miners and operat- ors called on the fuel administra- tor and asked that anthracite prices be raised to meet the increase. Dr. Gar field took the request under advise ment.
