GUTZON BORGLUM.

The sensational charges of ineffi-
cheney and conspiracy made recently
by Gutzon Borglum. the sculptor
against officials in charge of aircraft
production in this country, do not
appear so serious as they did at
first in view of the staten emit by the
United States Government that MI
Borglum tried to capitalize his friend
ship Of President Wilson for use in an
aircraft producing company in which
Borglum himself is Interested Now
the sculptor brands this statement as
deliberately false. That is q dam
gerous thing to do, Mr.. Borglum. The
United States Government is general
and when it makes a claim it can
generally back up that claim with
conclusive evidence. OF course, it is
only natural for Mr.. Borglum to deny
the official statement because to ad-
nit the truth of it would only be ad-
hitting his own worthlessness.
The people Of this country are
eminently fair. There will be q hear
ing in the premises aud the charges
made by Borglum will be investigated
to the very bottom. The light Of
publicity will be turned on and we
shall see whether the Stamford sculp-
tor spoke the truth or not. For the
present however, we are content to
continue to place the utmost conf
dence In the Government and those
who hold the reins. In every con-
tro%ersy in which the United States
has been engaged since the war be-
gan, whether with Germany, or Aus
tria she has produced material to
prove her contentious, and an un-
biased world-jury has awarded her the
verdict in each case. When the two
sides of this latest question are dis
closed, the public will be able to real
ize at once who is In the right, and
who in the wrong. In the meantime,
1t seems ill-advised to place supreme
faith in the charges made by a single
individual who has been sharply re-
pudiated by his Government

Looking ahead in the mist,
With tin hat over your ivory
And u rife clutched in your fist;
Waiting and watchin' and wond'r rim

Enough to give you a fright?
Things you amt ever thought of

Things that'u set you laughin',
Things that01 make you sore:
Things that you saw in the movies,
Things you saw on the street,
Things that you're really proud of,
Things that are--not so sweet.
Debts that are past collectin',
Stories you hear and forget.
Ball games and birthday parties,
Hours of drill in the wet;
Headlines, recruitln' posters,
Sunsets way out at sea,
Evenings of pay days-solly--
It's a queer thing, this memory!
Faces of pals in Homeburg,
Voices of women folk,
Verses you learnt In schooldays
Pop up In the mist ana smoke,
AS you stand there, gripin that rife,
A-starin', and chilled to the bone,
Wondering and wondering and won

Just thinking there-sll alone.

When will the pang break through?
What will the II. S. look like?
