Poets Corner
JUST A LITTLE POEM.

 (By c. R. Ryan. for'asrly of Douglas. and brother of our "Diek" Ryan, When you see a man in khaki.
 Or a sailor boy in blue, Have you ever stopped to think
 Tla- man Is human just like you? Just because he had the courage.
 he is sent away from home. lt has now become his duty
 In foreign land to roam When he left his friends and loved
 ones
 H- put Ca lace so glad, But a soldier, too. has feelings.
 And his throbbing heart was sad. Just portray yourself departing
 trom the ones you hold most dear Knowing tta at you may not see them
 Any more for months or years Just beCause a man wears khaki
 Loesnt mean that he's a brute. He is master of emotions.
 For apparently he's mute.
 
 There's a heart that beats right on For the ones back in his homeland.
 FCs the scenes that now are gone There are times that every soldier
 Has a heart that's full of plan. Just to be back with the home folks. And the scenes he loves again But when pensive moods o'ertake him.
 And he's nearly dead with blues. Comes a letter from the home folks
 With encouragement and news. And his countenance grows brighter As he sees between the lines The face Of his dear old mother.
 Or the sweetheart left behind He is waiting for that letter,
 Take a minute. write a line; You'll feel better if you do it, And youu never miss the time JUST A SOLDIER.

SMALL INVESTORS SHOULD
 RESPOND
(Kansas City star)

There is one danger in connection with the Fourth Liberty Loan That IS that the immensity of the sum to be raised may give small investors the impression that their savings are not needed. The big fellows will look after this, the man of moderate means may be tempted to say My $l00 wouldn't be a drop in the bucket
 Just there is where he would be wrong. Six billion dollars is whale of sum. The big fellows must do their share. but they alone cant handle it. The only way it can be subscribed Is by an enormous number of investors taking all they can. Every pos sible $50 and $l00 subscription Is needed. The loan IS going to be a success. But 1t can be a success only with the help of every American family subscribing to the limit of its means.

went glimmering as quick as wink. The strikers and their soap box leaders of the baser sort fairly trembled when these heroes came up to the yards in motor lorries and leaped to the ground And 1t was shame. more than fear that caused them to hang their heads and shrink back from before the stern, accusing glances of these soldier boys they were trying to knife from be- hind. Secretary Thomas of the union ot striking railroaders, and a big man, broad and able and having at heart the highest and best interests of labor as his ideal, had opposed the strike with might and main. His heart was filled with bitterness, and, when the strike was ended he resigned his position with these words You have shat tered all our prestige" he declared, and all my influence. 1 am going to see this thing out and then cease to be your General Secretary" A great scene followed this announcement and majority of the men present shouted disapproval of his decision. Thomas was elected secretary of the union by the largest vote ever given any official of any British labor union.

Lord Pirrie of the British Admiralty placed the submarine situation in a nutshell when he declared that in April of 1917 the submarine reached its apex with sinkings that totaled 465, ,000 tons, and that in the month of August just passed the sinkings were Z70,000 tons This IS a reduction of nearly one-half and represents just about the degree of menace of the submarine to- day as compared to that of year and half ago. It now appears as though the Brit ish were going to be able at last to take the Belgian submarine bases, and if so this exploit will reduce the menace to one-quar- ter what it was in the early months of 1917 when the U. S. was forced by this same submarine into the war

Make no mistake about the German nor ale at this particular time. In spite of de feat in the west and far cast and the de flection of the Bulgar (about which he probably knows nothing as yet) the Ger man soldier is fighting like devil to hold the Hindenburg line. Between Cambrai and St. Quentin during the past three days the hardest fighting of the entire war has taken place. Outnumbered by the British, Australians and Americans and French, the Huns are holding on with courage and res olution worthy of better cause. Every inch taken in this sector Is earned. Ger man dead are piled high in the Hindenburg caves ard caverns. And 1t is nearly as bad in the forest of Argonne where the Ameri- cans are struggling forward in the face ot resistence that amounts to desperation. At these two points the Germans have placed all their available reserves of picked men and their orders are to hold out to the end

How far reaching and i'll were the effects of that editorial in the New York Times some days ago urging consideration of the Austrian peace note, can be noted from the following quotation from the Duesseldortt Nachrichten: The opposition group to President Wilson, whose mouthPiece is the New York Times, sees in peace negotia- tions the only means of ending the war.
 Of course the Times indignantly denies the charge that it IS the "mouthpiece of such a group and also that there is "Group" at all that opposes the presidents s policy of speedy rejection of any peace terms. But the harm from its nasty and i'll advised editorial has already been done. It was seized upon by German papers to bolster German morale. The Times gigged back" on that editorial and only the Lord knows what has happened to the fellow who wrote it. The Times was the only daily newspaper in America, large or small, that favored the least consideration of any peace by any kind of negotiation.
