T. R.-American

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is now de,
voting himself with all his wonderful en-.
ergy to further the administration war
plans. The Colonel wants to organize a
division and lead it in battle in France
and no doubt thousands of young me n
would hurry to the colors at the first
blast of the Colonies trumpet. Moreover
Mr.. Roosevelt is exerting his unquestion-
ed influence to bring the support of the
Congress and of the public to the Presi-
dents program of raising an army. The
ex-President is simply bubbling over with
enthusiasm; there is prospect of fight
ahead and the Colonel is happy.
The Colonel severely criticised the Pres
ident's pacific attitude during the first
two years of the war and he cried out
continually for preparation and for &C
ton. That he was right on the question
of preparedness, everybody will admit.
Two years of valuable time was wasted,
but the Colonel is not lamenting what
might have been, but is devoting himself
whole-heartedly to facts OF the present.
The Presidents message to Congress won
the Colonel. 1t voiced sentiments that
he had long held and preached in season
and out and now that he and the Presi-
dent are entirely in accord on the ques-
ton of preserving the national honor and
warning for democracy, he is a powerful
ally of the administration.
The Colonel gained the i'll will of the
Republicans because of his Bull Moose
aPostasy, and he reused further antag-
onism by his Progressive heresy and his
preaching of various radical political
'isms. but when it comes to Americanism
the Colonel is orthodox and represents
the real spirit of America

Memories

Cold years; l envy every one
That brought Us to understands;
So carefree with our birds and flowers,
Our childish laughter and our fun.
o, Time, bring back those laughter day.
When we were free and innocent;
Cast out all thoughts of place or clan
Give back the girl of other days.
Taunt not, the past has played with me
And grinned upon our childish joy,
But for moment did it last
A flower for the honey-bee.
Pass on the pain of flying years,
For never can those days return;
A passing smile from her know
Must take the place of sobs and tears.
