The CHIEF vi sIoh VI 'no army Vi
United States is authority for the
lament that more than 100000
'.orican troops have already been
:, across the ocean and that the
.,,er there will reach the million
~ early in July. About a week ago
secretary of war said that more
:, 100000 had been sent over and
!. would naturally create the i'm
..oion that one hundred thousand
i been sent over in a week. This
not necessarily true and it would
extremely remarkable if it were
me. 1t must mean, however, that
o,a than fifty thousand have gone
,ross in less than a week, for if the
,nber on the other side week ago
u been more than 100000 Secretary
oser would have said nearly eight
Drdred thousand instead of more
on seven hundred thousand. The in
cation that more than fifty thousand
ave crossed over in week is
heightened by the statement Of Gen.
"a, March that the number of Amer
on troops in Europe would be mil
Inn early in July. At the rate OF
Iorp than fifty thousand a week the
emaining two hundred thousand
Eould cross in three or four weeks
BY the earlier part of July.

Ike her very much. But Artie Levere

her once! She gave me some candy.
She sings awful nice. Artie's going to
live with her when she can stop being
on the road. Have I got to live with
my mother?"
mot just yet son--but after while
when you get better acquainted"
Aiken cuddled the little head closely
to his breast. The pathos Of the child
heart that did not even know what a
mother meant rather choked his utter
ance. But the mute appeal in his eyes
would have prompted most women to
have cried out: Bring the little fel-
low home Let me try to be mother"
But Charlotte said nothing, and was
considerably relieved when they were
once more at home.
When vacation time drew near,
Aiken mentioned the school closing.
and hoped his wife would suggest
Jerry coming home, but as she did not,
and made the summer plans without
him, he did not insist on the child
coming, but went instead to see him.
Over year went by. Then there
came little girl baby to them. Char
lotte was "real mother" Joe was
very happy in seeing that 1t was real"
and that the mother-heart had
awakened in her. AS the months went
on, Joe began to hope she would now
ask for Jerry, but her own child
seemed to engross all her time and
thought. Joe loved the little girl dear
ly, but always there haunted him the
appealing eyes of the little boy who
had no real mother"
/ When the baby girl was little more
than a year old she died. The mother
was we'll nigh crazed with the loss Of
her child, and Joe had the double task
Of bearing his own grief, and trying to
comfort his wife. He dreaded having
to start on long business trip, and
leaving her in the quiet, lonesome
house, but he had to go.
Charlotte sitting alone one day took
a sudden resolve. 1t was the vacation
time, and she got ready and took the
train to the place where Jerry lived
The aunt met her rather coldly. Char.
lotte begged her to let Jerry come
home with her Miss Aiken objected
She had had the hoy so long she had
become greatly attached to him.
81 have had to be a mother to him,
she said. 81 can't give him up unless
my brother insists on It"
Then Charlotte opened her heart t.
the woman. She saw how the mothel
had awakened, and how her soul wa
torn by the loss Of her own child; sh'
could not stand out against thes
things, and consented.
Charlotte said nothing to Joe. Whel
he came home, and the boy ran to NEE
him, his surprise was so great, he coul
only smile his joy to Charlotte. The
she said: Jerry are we good friendsI
And the little chap answered: "Sur

few minutes later: "Have I got to 9
back to Aunt Ida?"

Charlotte caught the little fellow
and Rugged him tightly to her breas
