Our Soldiers

When the bugle cal! ITO Arms!" came
speeding through the land,
And the, echoes came resounding from
mountain peak and hill.
Our Montana boys responded TO Uncle
SAINTS demand.
Each one ready, as in 81. his honored
ranks to fill.
They came from hill and valley. from
workshop and from farm,
From stately halls of learning and the
homes Of legal lore,
And from the busy marts of trade
they came at wars alarm.
To fight the boastfui kaiser til wars
shall rule no more.
What lofty motives prompted them to
thus offer up their lives
Upon their country's altar in their
early manhood's prime.
Leaving fathers. mothers, home ties,
leaving sweethearts and young wives
That our emblem be humanity
through all coming time"
They seek .uew the dawning OF a
higher nobler-sreed
Than the one by|aiser festered-
pandering to a SELFISH greed
And with a firm decision and with
hearts that know no fear~
They nobly answered the summons
when their duty-call was clear
=
No thought of warlike hatred con-
trolls these noble men.
Scarce can their fervid loyalty be told
by tongue or pen;
Ills theirs to go where duty calls and
do their level best
To fight for love OF freedom and leave
to God the rest.
And now, alas! the time has come
when we say our fond goodbyes,
While many hearts are Borrowing and
tears dim many eyes;
Yet proudly We say God bless you all!
Bless each and every mani"
For they're the boys whose loyalty
puts Montana in the van.

The German editors do not like
President Wilson's reply to the pope's
peace proposals. Especially do they
resent his suggestion that the time
will not come to discuss peace Sc
riously until the German people have
something to say about their own
government. Since all of these papers
are edited from one office at Pots
dam. it is not So difficult to under
stand their attitude. OF course the
kaiser is not in favor of any peace
that would endanger his job.

A discussion as to the meaning Of
during the war may
seem like borrowing trouble or it
may be taken as a form of prepared
ness. as we choose. Thus far there
has been no occasion for mourning.
Peace may come before the first death
list arrives. a practical view Of the
matter is that of the New York Her
aid:
Leaders Of commercial interests
are urging the abolition Of the
custom in this country until the
end of the conflict brings Il res
toration of normal conditions. The
suggestion is born of the expert
cnces Of England and some Of the
continental countries where it was
found that the wearing Of black
raiment by SO many thousands
not only had a most depressing ef-
feet on the whole civilian popula-
tions. but also proved serious
burden to the poor and a positive
menace to the national interests
in that ii diverted Workmcn and
material from strictly necessary
channels into streams that fed
only the luxury of war"
Oddly enough these same CONNER
cial interests would resent any sug
geStion of interference with the Gus
tom of wearing mourning in time
of peace. Such a change would injur,
business. For ourselves, we favor III
discontinuance of the custom for al
time.

conferences to be held afternoon and
night.
DIR. Gray's first sermon was on
"Scriptural Prophecy and War, or Is
the Bible Antagonistic to War;"
II am ! man of peace. and hate
war as every sane man and woman
does" he said, II am looking and
praying for the time when war shall
cease, and sincerely believe the bless
ed day is coming when we shall beat
our swords and spears into plow-
shares.
Someone asked me IL l thought
God is the author OF war. No. He
is not. God permits war. and yet
there are often wars which are OF
God. War entered this world in the
Garden of Eden when sin entered.
We should thank God that He intro
duced fighting at that time. II God
had not introduced It at that time,
what would have become of the hu-
man race? The fighting between God
and Satan has continued until this
day."
This afternoon DR.. Gray will speak
on studies in the Book of Romans"

Jesus Christ Is God?"

TIMES QUESTION BOX
Queries Submitted by Readers Of
The Times.

Dear Editor-If The Times would
be kind enough to publish a correc-
tion for an answer previously pub
lished, I should like to say that in
an orchestra, the most important in
strument is the violin. All modern
music is writer with the violin play
ing the principal part, or melody. The
piano in an orchestra is an entirely
different instrument from what il is
when used by itself. In an orchestra
it plays the accompaniments to the
violin, or melody. while by itself, It
is a solo instrument.
The instruments that should be
used in a siX-piece orchestra are the
violin, piano. cOrnet, clarinet, from
bone or cello. and trap-drums. This
combination is recognized by all pro-
fessional musicians as standard.
In case drums are not used, flute
is best added to the above. Where
there is no piano. the combination
would be first violin, second violin.
viola. cello. clarinet or flute, and
cornet. This is written for r. A. d.

Many Stars.

Mary Pickford's newest film pro-
duction, THE Poor Little Rich Girl" j."
is the attraction which crowded the
Loew Columbia Theater at its first
showing yesterday afternoon.
Mary Pickford as the unfortunate
little girl who has everything that
money can buy in a material way,
but who lacks mother love, real
friends and happineBs, is cast in a
most happy medium.
"The Poor Little Rich Girl was
made from the play and book of the
same name by Eleanor Gates. The
play was given in this city at one
of the leading .theaters some years
ago. $50.
While intensely interesting in plot,
this drama OF the life of a little girl
is not lacking in a moral. However,
as that moral Is one directed at, and
for, grown ups alone, there
is no sugar coated lesson concealed
for little girls and boys. Q
The story has to do with Gwen
dolyn, the poor little rich gftl," so
called for her wealth of material
comforts and her poverty in the hap
piness and affection she Graves. Sur
rounded by everything that money
can purchase, she longs for the ma
ternal love and care that her moth
er's social duties leave no time for.
Wall Street and its daily battle OF
bulls and bears so fully occupies her
fathers attention that he, too, neg
lects to show her the affection that
a father should.
In this environment her dreary lit
tie life goes on day after day. Each
morning the austere tutors instruct
her in the schoolroom under the guild
ance OF Miss Royle, the governess,
and each afternoon that the sun
shines Jane, her nurse, accompanies
her for a ride through the park in
her limousine, guarded by liverIeo
footman and chauffeur.
At sundown a hurried kiss dismiss
ed her from the parents. who must
hurry off to some social function oor to
a business conference. and her tear
full eyes close on one drab day only
to open on another.
HOW she finds happiness is the plot
of the story.
The Hearst-Pathe News and other
films complete the program at this
theater.
