Thrice Armed.

Thrice is he armed, the sages
say, who hath his quarrel just; !;
thrice armed, therefore, is Uncle
Sam, who's out to win or bust
For never since the world began
has nation gone to fight with
nobler purposes in view, with
cause more truly right. We covet
not a perch or rood of any foreign
soil, no treasure chests of friend
or foe do we desire to spoil. We
were not hunting for scrap,
peace was our end and aim; we
heaved a sigh of true regret when
we broke in the game. We sighed
in pity when we saw the old earth
painted red; we suffered wrong
with patient hearts, and laid away
Our dead. But patience cannot al
ways last nor pity still endure
when wrong is heaped on bitter
wrong; such ills the sword must
cure. And.so we took Our harness
down and strapped it on our
breast and reached for claymore,
helm and lance and trusty arbal-
est. And now the fateful die is
thrown and crimson war shall
last till autocrats and lords of
war are relics of the past. And
ever as we pot the foe and bag
the kaiser's men true inspiration
shall we find again, and yet
again, in that great truth the
sages wrote in volumes filmed
with dust: Thrice is he armed" !"
so runs the rede, 'Fwho hath his
quarrel just"

To the Editor of The Star:

I have the honor to suggest that fund
of 100000 be raised for the Red Cross

memorate his love for liberty and peace.
He, with his wonderful influence, and the
men that fought with him gave to this
country both liberty and peace and now
ing side by side for u greater freedom
and more lasting peace. Surely this fund
can and will be raised il the patriotic
societies will cooperate. / would suggest
that no lines be drawn and that all patri-
otic societies, including labor organiza-
tions, be called upon to give helping
hand in this good work.

Arnold Leith turned with a guilty
start. He flushed slightly. Then he
greeted his friend, Warner Bliss,
with what under the circumstances
was positive effrOntery.
To what?" he challenged, with
all due affected innocence.
THAT letter Why, you held on to
it as if you were afraid to let it go,
or performing an incarnation over
it."
NONSENSE declared Arnold, but
it was true, nevertheless. The sub
ject changed, he strolled a square
with Bliss and then was glad to be
alone with his cherished thoughts.
Ada will get the letter in the
morning" he sOliloquized. "She will
answer it so the reply will reach me
by tomorrow evening. That is, if she
does not deem me presUmptuous and
not answer at all" and he sighed
Suspensefully.
Arnold had no right to expect that
disappointment, but when a man is
in love life is one constant alteTna-
ton of hope and despair. It was ex-
pectanCy that kept him on pins and
needles the next day. No letter. Anxi-
