Each of them was dressed in his or

Evian. Five hundred children, who
had left their mothers and fathers in

on their way to big refuge in the old

There the Belgian government and the
American Red Cross have fitted up q

RIVAL.
OF PIED PIPER'S

brought something to them in Bel.
GUM, but. especially since the Ameri-
cans left, it had to be stretched long
way.
Aren't you hungry" some one
asked one Of the Belgian children.
"Why, no. the ten-year-old replied.
II ate yesterday"
The trumpeters piloted them to the
Casino, where the women OF Evlan
had laid out breakfast. Six or seven
children, too weak to stand the miles
walk, were carried in the big Ameri-
can Red Cross ambulances that trans
port the old men and women week
days, when the trains bring in the
French repatriates.
There was q big celebration In the
Casino. The mayor of Evian made
speech, but most of the children were
obviously much too tired to try to
puzzle out his big words. They were
much more interested in the band.
The band played 1.-THE Savoyard." the
anthem of EVANS mountain province.
and then 1t played the "Brabanconne.
the national hymn of Belgium.
Those children stood up on the tables
to applaud and wave their handker-
chiefs! They knew it. every one of
them, although they had not been al
lowed to sing it :out loud for three
years. Some of them were so small
that they must have learned it behind
closed shutters. OF In a corner half a
dozen little girls Joined hands and
danced.
Too Tired for Candy.
But they were tired out; there were
one or two who were too tired to eat
the candy placed beside them-and
that Is very tired. And in the middle
Of the second verse of the "Braban-
conne," one small son of Belgium laid
his head on his arms and went to
sleep. And before the "Marseillaise"
was sung there were sleepy little
groups, oblivious' to the noise about
them, at every table.
1t was dark when they entered the
Casino-much too dark for the pic
lures that ought to have been taken
of them-and 1t was still very gray
twilight when they came out.
One of the American Red Cross
nurses who was helping care for
them saw two little girls arguing
sleepily about something or other.

CRUSADERS
BY Abbie FarweIl Brown
Of The viqilantea.


They who have seen the vision.
We who have dreamed the dream.
Are comrades of a mighty host.
Crusaders Of the Clean.
Some are to fall In action;
Some wave victorious swords:
Some knit the plying web of love:
Some forge the flaming words.
Still, shoulder set to shoulder.
We tread the fields of fate.
Our wills invincible to crush
The serried ranks of Hate.
And comrade heartens comrade
Through voids Of time and space,
Flashing the sign upon his brow.
A light upon his face.

cents an hour, retroactive to Oct. 1.
Eight hours hereafter is to be consid-
cred a days work and overtime will
be paid at the rate of time and half
This order, involving aggregate in
creases of about $30,000,000 a year, ap-
plies to between $4,000 and 10000 en-
ployes, including telegraphers, tele-

operators and staff men. 1t does not
apply to telephone switchboard oper-
ators. A separate wage order will be
issued applying to railroad agents
who are not telegraphers.
The order meets partially the re-
quest of the Order of Railroad Teleg-
raphers for advances and will tend,
through the provision for time and a
half pay for overtime to cut down the
long hours of employment Of which
telegraphers heretofore have COM
planned.
