he had and anyone connected with
the work was subjected TO more or
less suspicion. The office finally
proved so unpopular that It was
abolished and Waugh went out with

IRWIN COBB ON PREPAREDNESS,

Boldly and deflantly. Irwin Cobb
proclaimed In his address at conven-
tion hall Wednesday nlEht. that
never again did he want to look upon
his country as "big, rich, juicy
flabby oyster without n she'll"
over there on the battlefront Of
freedom, amid the bursting Of death
spelling messages OF steel. this great
thinker learned his lesson of pre-
paredness, He came back TO America.
doffing his hat at the statue Of LIB
erty. swearing antlpathy to the "Ilt-
ney Hcnryford and willlamjennIngs-
bryan paclflsts." stepped In convic-
ton that this country never again
should be caught unprepared and
unable to defend Itself.
Aside from war-front stories that
fairly bored themselves into the
hearts of men and women who heard
him, and caused rlvulets OF salty
liquid to channel down the bronzed
cheeks of strong men. no sent home
to tho hearthstono OF his hearers un-
answerable argument that the safety
OF this country In the future depend
cd upon il sleeping with Its six
shooter under It's pillow.
In addition TO sparse moments or
dlEression when he threw his audi
cnce into paroxysms Of laughter, ne
unlocked his lips" and told some
truths OF our incfficlcncy In the early
part of the war that fairly shocked
those who heard him. but truths that
were commonplace gossip among Of
fetal Washington and among news
paper correspondents in the national
capital.
FIFTY weeks and three days after
the declaration OF war" said Mr.
Cobb, mot "A single machine gun OF
American make had been sent across
tho ocean TO our troops over there;
not a field gun had been sent and
only four airplanes, two OF which
were tit only to drlll wells (becuuse
they would not leave the ground). .
after oil this tlme-5O weeks and
three dAys-all the men General
Pershing was able to turn over to
General Foch was one division. less
than 10000 men, and they could not
have been modified unless French
trucks were used, and the men ra-
toned from the French lardcr"
Here is a bold statement Of a man
who was there. and who knows
whereof he speaks, But there. Mr..
Cobb stopped, and flattered his hear
ers by giving them the privilege OF
the vivtsection. He could have gone
on and told the reason why. but he
saw fit to do otherwise. lie could
have recounted. had he so desired
the many. many bold prcss-agented d
statements OF the thousands of ma
chine guns sent over and the hun.
dreds OF airplanes on their way, but
he left that for the audience to figure
out. Mr.. Cobb merely skinned over

Tales of the
Friendly Forest

Now let us see where we left off in
the story before this. Oh, yes, re-
member now. II was just where
little Dickey Meadowmouse poked
his head up through the snow and
said, "Helloa there, Billy Bunny"
"Howdy. Dicky Meadowm ouse,
Through the chimney OF your house
Looking Ger the meadow white.
Glancing round from left to right;
You might lose your wooden socks
II weren't |, but Daddy Fox"
And Billy Bunny laughed and
kicked up the snow with his strong
hind legs until big piece of ice hit
Dickey Meadowmouse's hat and
knocked II off his head.
Look out! what are you doing"
cried Dickcy Meadowmouse. That's
my new hat Mother gave me for
Xmas" and he picked II up, and
after that he began to laugh. too, for
he's a merry little fellow and good
friend OF Billy Bunny.
MY, but it's lonely these long
winter days" said the little rabbit.
"Everybody's sound asleep in his
winter home. only you and I and a
few others are about" and the little
rabbit sighed. for what he said is
true. let me tell you.
For In the good Old Summer time
Most everybody's round.
The feathered folks are in the trees,
Tho furry on the ground.
And all the sweet and verdant dclls
Are ringing with the flower bells.
Cheer up. little rabbit" said the
merry little Meadowmouse, spring
will soon he here, for the buds are
on the trees waiting for Mr.. Happy
Sun and little Miss South Wind to
open them" and after that the little
meadowmouse disappeared into his
tunnel and Billy Bunny hopped
away, clipplty clip, over the snow,
till he came to the Friendly Forest.
And after he had gone a little ways,
not so very far, he saw something
that made his heart go pittcr-pat
And what do you suppose II was,
I'll give you three guesses ana then
I'll tell you. II was the footprints
OF Daddy Fox. Yes, sir Right there
in tho snow were the marks of that
sly old foX's feet.
Billy Bunny stopped right tnen
and there, and looked about him.
Daddy Fox was nowhere In sight,
but that wasn't any reason why he
might not be, at that very moment,
hiding behind "A tree. And then the
little rabbit looked again at the foot
prints in the snow, There they were,
but, thank goodness! They led away,
far away, into the Old Brler Patch.
And Just then, all OF sudden,
quicker than lightning bug, he
heard the bark OF the Miller's Dog.
And then the Miller's Boy jumped
out from behind "A clump Of bushes.
Run, rum" screamed Johnny jay,
who happened just then to be flying
by. And Billy Bunny did, He went
so fast that his shadow couldn't keep
up with him and neither could the
Millers BOY. But, oh. dear me! The
Millers Dog did, Yes. sir! He was
so close that when the little rabbit
popped into his house in the Old
Rrier Patch the Miller's Dog caught
the end OF the little rabbits tail and
pulled off n bunch of fur.
