Sure. The madden I got the

that he selected a gentle and devoted

The entire nation rejoices over the
extraordinary achievement of trans
porting monthly from ESQ, 1000 to 300,-
600 American soldiers and their
equipment to France. The British au-
thorities tell US that 10 per cent of
these soldiers have been carried by
them in their ships. This is a strik-
ing illustration of the urgent need of
American ships. Strenuous efforts
have been made to charter, to buy and
to build vessels. But the demand for
them is enormous. 1t takes vast sums
of money to build ships rapidly at
war prices. Let your subscriptions to
the Fourth Liberty loan be gagged
accordingly.

but his brain was not sufficiently brisk
to be certain OF anything.
His progress was more rapid after
that first glimpse and he REALIZED that
a world with women in 1t was good
place to get back to. His nurses hands
were slim and caressing and her hair
waved softly about her smooth brow
Treadgold wondered if he would
eventually find himself in love with
her.
He was, in fact, drifting in that di-
rection when, during a dull afternoon
melancholy of voice. Instantly
Treadgoid knew that it was the same
voice augmented in sweetness and
timbre that had quickened his leth-
argic pulse--far back in America. For
America seemed frightfully distant to
TreadgoId after the smoke and fire OF
battle and the long lapse from con-
sciousness.
He looked eagerly at his nurse.
Whose voice is that I hear?" he
asked her.
The nurse smiled at his excitement,
scented a romance and told him all
she knew.
Her name is Ida Mcyicker. and
she is the niece of our staff surgeon.
She was pining away by inches, 1t
seems, in America because she could
MT do anything when all her brave
countrymen were going off to fight"
'But how did she ever get over
here?" burst out Treadgold. from a
cottage with roses
The nurse smiled again. 1.-THE or
ganizer of concert party heard her
singing and thought her voice held the
appeal that our wounded boys would
appreciate and-here it is. She sings
every afternoon and evening and any
other time when her voice is needed
She's happy now-happy as lark
It's wonderful what doing a little good
to others does for oneself" added the
nurse.
Treadgold then made a headlong
steady dash right into the heart of a
world of feminity. He demanded to
see Ida McVicker then and there.
When she stood beside him and
looked with those wistfu1 eyes straight
intos his face a deep. happy flush
mounted her cheeks and Treadgeld
knew that recognition was there. APP
parently she had not gazed unseeing-
ly nor unfeelingly at him when he had
daily passed her cottage gate.
Little Sad Eyes" was what she
thought he said by way of greeting
but she was never quite sure about it
There was SO much unexpected emo
ton expressed in the wonderful meet.
ing that words didn't really count
Treadgold had always known that
love would completely swamp him
when it came, and he told Ida so be-
fore many moons had passed over thai
region of the world.

not a particularly alluring picture.
The average soldier will probably be
about "A years old when he returns.
Forty years of labor on a farm will
make him 81, when he will own his

poses that the laborer shall become

he is ready to die.

A prosperous member of the legal
fraternity was heard to say. recently,
that before the war he spent rs cents
daily for cigars. Now, he declared, he
does not spend a cent in that way, not
because he is less able to afford the
luxury but the money, thus saved is
invested in war savings stamps and
liberty bonds. This is the right idea
of aiding Uncle Sam.

Mr.. Damrosch is not the only one
who has brought back reports of the
American soldiers craving for music.
In the Y. NJ. c. A huts, the pianos
and Victrolas are always laundering
forth American tunes, and the singers
who occasionally manage to stage a
tour thru the rear lines of the war
zone are usually overwhelmed by the
enthusiasm of the soldiers praise. In
the German prison camps, moreover,
music has proved a great solace. Many
of the boys have managed to buy Ger
man musical instruments and to learn
to play them. and several bands and
orchestras have been formed. The
allied prisoners all have their bands
and orchestras, too. Only once did
the Germans object to the musical
activities of their prisoners, and, in
the mind of the Scot, this was the
greatest atrocity ever performed by
the Hun. For, unable to stand it any
longer, the German commandant took
from a band Of Scots their beloved
bagpipes.
OF even greater significance Is the
success with which music is being
used as a therapeutic measure in the
war hospitals. I'VE have just received
some new records for the Victrola." a
