"The Strength of Love Lies In T
 the Heightened Power to Serve
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE
HBI7T1 HE strength of love lies in t
 heightened power to serve

8HV7GN HE strength of love lies in the
 heightened power to serve,' Q
 somebody has said, and we see this truth exemplihed every day.
 Love is the most stimulating emotion that human beings feel; fear paralyzes; avarice narrows; ambition warps Only love is creative-only love stimulates and expands the whole being, until weakness becomes strength and manifests itself by the heightened power to serve. The man who loves his country will find thousand avenues for patriotic work. He will follow the flag with joy and guard it at the risk of life and limb. He will hold it's honor as his own and his love will discover to him still greater opportunity to prove his devotion when to the indifferent heart every possible service will seem to have been rendered.
 There is no such thing in his lexicon as falling back to the soldier who truly loves his countrys fluttering ensign, be- cause mind and body are in accord. There is an intensified power to serve, because no spirit of rebellion retards heroic eff fort.
 The man who loves woman, suddenly finds himself endowed with the strength of two men. He longs so ardently to achieve for her dear sake that he rises above and beyond his normal ability.
 Tasks that he would never think of es- saying for himself, he voluntarily grasps and grapples with because of her, and the laurels that crown his successes were won because of her and have value only as they give her ioy
 The man who loves a little child, tolls cheerfully through monotonous days; he bears his share of burdens beneath which other men lament and deems them light because little childs silvery laughter and fragrant kisses, glorify the close of the day. The weakest thing in all the wide, wide world, little innocent, coo- ing baby, nestles against his heart at night and his strength as father is greater by far than the strength of the childless man.
 How often do we hear of the will to live because of love eonquering the weakness of those upon the verge of death-love rising above the feebleness of the body and rallying the sinking faculties until health is restored.
 There is almost no limit to the endur- ance of man or a woman if only suf- hcient spur is found to urge the mind and body on.
 When no other motive in the world will move, when no power can compel, when no promised regard will incite to action, love can easily influence; inspired by 1t, man becomes almost superhuman and

Savannah. June 1-(Special.)-A the train makes it's slow way into Georgia s kingpin city through the drear marshes Of the Savannah river, something hap pens to an hour. In some mysterious way 1t suddenly become o'clock when it should be '. People talk of eastern time, city time, railroad time, slow time and fast time, until in order to preserve your reason you refuse to think about it at all. It can easily become an obsession.
 You resolve to understand about it, and you get people-conductors and hotel clerks and policemen--to explain. You set your Ingersoll forward, find you should have set it back, then you set it back only to discover that all the clocks in your immediate neighborhood are wagglng along on the eastern system.
 You buy ticket for the rubberneck wagon and the man says it starts at g. You ask which kind of 2, eastern, central, hotel church, slow, fast or medium? Then he explains it all again and you feel your mind going, going.
 At last you tear out your watch, dan gle it before him, and implore that he set 1t so that when it registers that Will be the at which the rubberneck wagon starts. You don't dare look at IL again all morning for fear you'll be mixed up worse than ever.
 l tried every plan and found that the best way is not to think about it. Just go to the station when you get ready to leave town and wait Most trains are an hour late, so you don't notice the dis crepancy in time. You may catch the o'clock at 6 or the o'clock at ', so it's all right and everything is strengthened out again.
 Aside from idiosyncrasies of time Sa- vannah seemed to me a delightfully."- clean-cut city, well ordered, well equipped and progressive. It has charming little parks and lot of picturesque cullud folks.

Russian Troopers
 In Balkans Swear
 By New Government

Saloniki, April 30.-All the Russian troops on the Balkan front have now aken the oath of allegiance to the new Russian government. Russian sol- diers in the vicinity of Saloniki were marshalled on suburban parade ground for the ceremony of swearing allegiance to the provisiona author ity. The general in command ad- dressed them, reading the Russian Emperor's proclamation of abdication and explaining that a constitutional convention was to be held later to chose form of government
 ''The Emperor has given up his throne" said the General, land has absolved you of your oath of fealty to him. You are therefore free now, to take the oath of allegiance to the new provisional government"
 Not a dissenting voice was raised when the General read the new oath, which was first repeated by the officers and then by the men, all of whom thereupon filed past and kissed the Bi- allegiance.
 Ih conclusion, the general explained that all courtesy titles had been abol. ished, and that in future the men must not address him as "Excellency'' but simply as General"
 "Yes, Your Excellency," replied all the men in chorus, whereupon they were made to repeat their acknowI- edgment in the new manner of "Yes General"

Sydney, New South Wales, April 30.-W. M. Hughes, the Prime Min ister of Australia, addressed a mass meeting of 10000 here this week, ap- pealing for recruits.

 MT. Hughes pleaded: You are liv- ing; you are Australians; your coun- try is in danger. God will be with you.''
 Within ten minutes every horse had rider, and the dangling bits and chatter of hoofs reused the crowd to state of intense excitement. Be- fore the meeting adjourned, a larger number of recruits had been elisted than at any similar meeting this year.
