Feigning that my love is dead.
Playing at a game Of sadness,
Singing hope forever fed.

With the languid palms Of sorrow
Folded on dancing heart.

Lest the draft should make me mad.

NO PANIC IN ENGLAND
Niece of w. =. Gilbert Writes From
Rugby Have to BE
Careful of Food.

That there is no panicky feeling
among the residents of British towns
and that the local effect of the war is
little noticed by them, is evidenced by
the following excerpt from a letter
from niece Of w. S. Gilbert, secretary
Of the Ardmore Chamber of Commerce,
written from Rugby, the famous col.
lege city in the heart of England:
You would be surprised how very
little we are feeling the war here IN
England, except that we have to be
careful of food. Sometimes it seems
impossible that there can be such "a
cruel war raging. OF course, we hear
of some Of our boy friends going under
and that is terrible, but England itself
seems as peaceful and undisturbed as
ever. Yet we are doing wonderfully
well. We have no soldiers among us
yet, but Cousin Harold stands a chance
Of being one, and impatiently waits the
day"
Harold is a nephew Of Mr.. Gilbert,
and is twenty-five years old.

Texas Looks for Trouble.

Dallas, Texas, June 5.--While heavy
registration under the selective draft

the larger Texas cities today, officials
awaited returns from the outlying dis.

activity.

War Summary

All familiar signs which herald a
great offensive are reported from the
British front in France and everything
points to the near approach Of a re-
sumption Of fighting on a great scale
on the west. Thunder Of British guns
Increases day by day in volume. while
trench raids and other feintings for po-
sition multiply in number.
Most interesting feature in the mea.
gre official reports is the repeated an.
nouncement Of a tremendous artillery
duel in progress around the little Bel.
gian village Of Wytschaete, about five
miles south Of Ypres. From this point
as far south as the famous Vimy ridge,
30 miles away, the guns are roaring day
and night, apparently indicating that
General Haig has chosen this wide sec
tor for his next big blow. In this con.
nection is recalled that General Maurice.
director general Of military operations.
predicted some weeks ago that the next
British offensive would be on a vaster
scale than any which preceded Il.
Wytschaete marks the head Of a short
salient held by the Germans south Of
Ypres. This salient is roughly three
miles deep and averages about the same
extent in width. It's importance lies
in the fact that it is the only high land
between the British and Lille. Once
in the possession Of the British, their
guns would command the broad plain
between the plateau and Lille, a dis.
tance Of about ten miles.
Relative lull in the war theaters has
had no counterpart in the field Of poll.
tics, where events are moving rapidly.
Opening OF the Austrian parliament has
caused something akin TO CONSERVATION
in the German press. and the pan-Ger-
man organs, especially. are filled with
gloomy predictions over the political
situation in the dual monarchy. Their
uneasiness is largely based on the fact
that the German party is in a very
marked minority in the Austrian cham.
ber Of deputies, while the fall of Count
Tisza in Hungary has given renewed
confidence to the Czech and other anti
German elements.
In Russia the situation remains con-
fused and obscured by all manner OF
conflicting and sensational reports. Two
events, however, have given fresh heart
to well wishers Of the infant republic.
The first is the nearing arrival in Pc
trograd Of the American commission.
and the second is the appointment OF
General Bruissiloff as commander.in-
chief OF Russia's army. General Bruis.
siloff enjoys the reputation Of not only
being a brilliant field commander. but
a strong and selfreliant man, and his
appointment is taken as a fresh indica.
tion that Minister Of War Kerensky's
promise Of vigorous administration was
not an idle boast.
Prussian iunkers stlll are putting for.
ward extravagant program OF annexa.
tions and indemnities. They have ap-
parently abandoned the idea OF n sepa-
rate peace with Russia and are now dis.
cussing dismemberment Of that coun.
try. Their boasts have been met with
the passage by the French chamber OF
deputies by an Overwhelming majority
OF a resolution declaring that peace can
only be based on the return OF Alsace.
