SEEN ON THE SIDE
There's "A Little Log Hut.
by HENRY EDWARD WARNER


Ihcres little log nut by the lake
Where the water runs into the reeds
Where the waves the rocky beds break
And the lily in winter blasts bleeds;
There's little rude pier. and light
On the end of pole that you see
Twinkhng far in the black Of the night
And the little log hut's calling me-
There's a little old spring in a nook
By huge nose of shale. and there sings
The most wonderful, mad little brook
Ever mothered By myriad springs.
There's little old corner ] know
Where the bass lie in wait for the lure
And alert Is his tackle, and sure.
And the little old hut. ii is bare
OF the comforts of softening life.
Just the roof for shelter is there
And the rod and the gun and the knife.
And lie in my blankets and dream,
And so sweet in my visions ] see
Just the little log hut and the lake and th,
stream
That are waiting and calling for me!

Three Discortiant Notes

a / time when all the world is applaud
ing the sagacity and adroitness with which
lresioent wilson met the German peace pro-
poSai' three figures in American life-and
only three enjoying any prominence-are
found deploring the diplomacy which Wood
row Wilson practced in his dealing with
this life-and death situation. They are in
tears over the willingness OF the President
TO "dicker" instead of demand; to debate
instead of destroy.
And who are they? First comes Henry
Cabot Lodge, Republican floor leader in the
united States Senate. Next comes Represen-
tatlVe Fess, chairman of the Republican Con-
SreSsional Committee, and. finally Theodore
Roosevelt, candidate for the presidency ON
the Republican ticket. This is the trio now
in the attitude of condemnng the note which
mas Just been forwarded to Berlin And
three unbiased, nOnpartsan and disinterested
patriots they are!
is 1t not little singular that ONLY Re-
publican leaders are dissenters in the present
situation? Is it not strange that only those
bitter political opponents OF the President
found any cause for outcry against the solemn
policy of their government? Would these
three lights nave been as quick to rush into
PRINT with depreciation if Charles f. Hughes
and not Woodrow Wilson. had been the author
OF the answer to Prince Macmillan?
republican leaders pretend amazement
over the fact that a Democratic President
adjourned politics whereas his Democratic
followers continue to play politics Can any
such leader believe in his heart that the out
burst Of Lodge, OF Fess and of Roosevelt
was utterly divorced from politics? Can
these same leaders convince the country that
criticisms passed upon the Presidents note
proceeded from other than Republican con-
sideratiOns?
Not one Of these men waited to see the
result OF the Presidents note. Not one of
| them held his tongue until he could see
"hether or not the plan of action adopted
would lead to the unconditional surrender
/ or Germany. Not a bit Of it, They dared
| not remain silent. They knew that they
must speak at once or else DEVELOPMENT
might confound them and rob them of their
opportunity to assail the author OF that
| message

After the War Ends.

p. Fl. s.. Camp Lee.-Our armies in
Europe Will not be returned TO this
country until after the conclusion of
treaty Of peace. After peace is es-
tablished, at the very least it will re-
quire more than years time to effect
the return of the troops, and some
months longer TO complete their de-
mobilization. 1t took about six months
TO effect utilization after the close
OF the Spanish-Amcrican war.

Perhaps it. is not because OF President
WILSON'S demand that they evacuate every
inch OF invaded territory as proof of the
sincerity OF their cry for peace that the Ger
mans are getting out of Northern France
and Belgium But the fact remains that they
are getting out. and that just rs rapidly as
they can That they are being kicked out
