 Ghastly Scenes in Great Morgue
 l saw the ghastIy procession of res cue vessels as they landed the living and the dead that night under the far ing gas torches along the Queenstown waterfront. Boat after boat came up out of the darkness, discharging bruised and shuddering women, maim- ed and haIf-naked men, and a few widc-eycd little children whose inno- cent minds were wrestling blanblly with this strange new manifestation of life. Freuzicd women begged mo for their husbands; and men with pitj- able choking efforts at matter-of-facJ- ness went ccascIcssIy from group to group looking for their little daugh- tcrs, their brothers, and in some cases for their American brides. Piles of corpscs, like cordwood, grew higher and higher among the coils of rope and ships stores on the dark old quays. Every voice in that great mix ed throug spoke in mstinctive under tones, varied only here and there by a painful coughing it or a smothercd burst of sobbng

sinister power that has now at last stretched its ugly talons out and drawn blood from us"
 Every American soldier in this war fights for objects dearer to all of us than life itself-for freedom and de- mocracy for the safety of our own homes and families, for the honor of our country. You will think often of these objects during your period of training and after you actually enter the trenches. The more you think about them, the greater will be your pride that you are one of those first chosen to defend them.

my neighbor, Pippkins, has changed

rather portdHtous affair. The family
began to plan it some months In ad-

Mrs. Pippkins and the girls went to a
huge wooden hotel on the edge OF
lake. They dressed three times a day.
When Pippkins ran down on one Fri
day of each fortnight he boarded a
hot, dusty, overcrOwded train and rode
for five uncomfortable hours. They
insisted that he don a Tuxedo each
evening for dinner. He used to Won

and hardened motorist. He talks
earnestly and learnedly Of gears and
of transmission, and he Is superlative-
ly critical of every car except his own.
I might write a story upon how that
car and its predecessors in the Pipp-
kins family have changed their very
soul, but this is not the time nor place.
Sufficient Is it to say that Pippkins Is
now Z motor expert, and DR.. King
down at our corner says that Pippkins
has grown ten years younger
"Mrs. P;ppldns and the girls have all

a railroad train In summer. They live
in the family car.
