Notre Dame Graduate In

il said at home that all England
was doing was getting everybody
else 20 fight her battles. What a
mistake, 1 have passed through
several towns and cities here, and
I have seen only a handful of men
in civilian clothes. Nearly every
man that can walk is CARRIED in
uniform. That not only includes
young men. but every man that can
walk There are thousands and
thousands OF fathers in the English
army. fathers of three, four and five
children. and YOU can probably
imagine how hard il is for their
families. for England is at war.
About the men who can't walk:
If a man loses a leg or an arm he
does not lose his uniform. lie con-
tinues 10 stay i'm the army. and does
what he can. And I am sure glad
that | am here To help. ] wish

willing To give up all if IL will help
i'm any way To relieve the sufferings
of the lonesome wives and mothers.
They are not starving, but they are
in need And 1 w4nt YOU 10 tell my
friends 20 help. Donate something
10 every fund started. even though

CRITICISM Morse Than Bullets"

The CAB fiend is an engaging In
dividual with a %retreating forehead
and a tongue which can accelerate to
sixty miles an hour from a standing
start.
The tongue is one Of the greatest
blessings man enjoys, but 1t was not
constructed for race track purposes.
The mission OF the tongue is to pro-
mote digestion and enable the family
doctor to tell at a glance whether the
patient has liver trouble or a sprained
ankle. It was never intended that the
tongue should be used to discharge
vast volumes Of detailed, itemized con-
versation which never gets anywhere
in particular and finally trails off into
space like the exhaust from a hot-air
furnace. Yet all around us we see CAB
flends whose tongues run in a bath of
OIL and who take three-quarters Of an
hour to tell a story that should have
been strangled in infancy.
The CAB 1end is a soothing solace
to the business man who has laid out
his. work for the day and would like to
get thru by midnight. 1t is a madden
ing experience to have an industrious
and care-free gabber deposit himself
on the opposite side of the desk and
after taking careful aim at his victim
turn his vocabulary loose upon the
surrounding atmosphere. Inasmuch as
the conversation OF the chronic, steel
hardened gabber is always confined to
first-hand information on religion.
politics and the crop situation, after
it has been stretched out for a few
thousand cubic feet 1t becomes slight
ly monotopous in character.

On the same evening w. p. G. Har-
ding, governor of the federal reserve
board, spoke at a dinner in New York.
He said:
Congress can very speedily provide
the surest means of defense by enact
ing q law which would enable the gov

are fighting for the same cause. 1t Is
my personal opinion that this govern

END to the allied powers a credit of
one billion dollars, taking as security
their own obligations. That would be
an effective measure Of defense. 1t

THE 3 EAR,

The black bear danced at the end of a
chain
oh. blind bear! stupid in joy or pain!-
But the black bear snaps the steel in
twain.
He will not dance again!
The black bear suffered in SILENCE long;
He suffered the goad, the fire, the
thong;
The black bears nose was rubbed in
wrong
oh! but now he is strong!
They made him wear d collar of GRASS;
With whips they trained him. SO he
would pass
With mincinG steps on broken glass.
Teachers, for you alas!
The black bear buried in dirt his eyes,
Dull as a little child'S, unwise.
From out of the mire they could not
rise.
Now see them search the skies!
The black bear skulked in the wheaton
\ blot that sometimes a moon re-
vealed-
never again the dark his shield.
Forth walks he, unconcealed.
The black bear lay, with his whipped
tanks raw;
But III he rises, with open jaw,
Ay. up he rises. with sweep of paw!
Q czar, where nov YOU law?
They saw no thinking behind his brow:
They taught him early to bend and
bow,
And jump at his lords command; bu.
He has forgotten how!
The black zeal danced III his hamh-

But OH, the light when the night turns

wicked Swordfsh rushed at the Whale.
Oh dear. oh dear! The Whale couldn't
dive into the water and hide, for hs
had the little rabbit on his back. HI
couldn't turn around quick enough,
for he was too big. and he couldn't
fly up into the air like a flying fish, for
he had no wings. So what could he
do? Well, sir. you'd hardly believe Il.
but Billy Bunny took a rubber boot
from his k%napsack. and Just as the
dreadful Swordfish was going to stick
his sword into the Whale, the little
rabbit slipped the rubber boot over 1t
and the Swordfish bounced back and
the Whale wasn't hurt the least BIZ.
Now, wasn't that lucky? Well, I just

sound of war with a pipe and a pin

The difference between war and
armed neutrality is the difference be-

fight and a scrap on the way home or
down town.
Speaking of that row in the house il
old Uncle John Farmer had caught a
bunch OF his hired men quarreling all

The president has not yet sent the

cabinet may suit the president to a IT.
under the circumstances a few changes
might be made that would perhaps
suit the country. It is a time for big

Germany would have some neutral

GRARDSTANDING.

The house factions held a regular
row Thursday. Ira Nichols. repre-
sentative from Hardin and publisher
of the Iowa Falls Citizens, brought il
on by an assertion in his newspaper
that a pot" had been made a couple
of years ago by certain contractors to
the assistance Of the Johnston bill of
that time and suggesting by the inter
est these forces and the cement trust
are taking in the passage of the Pitt
Johnston bill this winter, it might be
inferred that another pot of slush
money has been raised. This raised
the row. Representatives Of the fac
ton supporting the Pitt-Johnston pro-
gram climbed Mr.. Nicohls' frame de-
handing that the information on
which his newspaper article had been
based. Nichols said he'd be able to
reply il given a little time. Then an
attempt was made to put Nichols in
bad with a resolution condemning his
article and r~eprimanding him. After
the speaker had denied debate he
changed his mind and permitted it.
business and the factions went away
growing.
Better quit il. Better do something
better h a quarreling. Most Of the
time spent thus is grandstand for the
benefit Of future candidates., pure
peanut politics and while il is in prog
ress nothing is being accomplished.
There are few things that need doing

Red, White and Blue Flag, with silver
Stars on the blue part. And goodness

Upon it's pillows white n green

away he went, the Whale spouting
great high streams of water and toss

Three cheers for the Red. White
