WHO KNOWS!

Clap a broad brimmed black hat on his head and drape a flowing cloak about him and he could have posed for a picture of one of the old Span ish padres of Seville. His bulky form, gray beard, clam, strong face and earnest glance all fitted well the part. But he was no Spaniard, on the con trary. he was a Prussian, and had car ried a needle rifle in the FrancO-Prus- sian war and for the past forty years had lived and toiled and loved and lost in the deserts and mountain ranges of COchise county and Sonora, Mexico He came to the newspaper mans den in search of an encyclo- pedia. In the course of the cOnver- sation that followed the finding of the information this strange visitor sought, it developed that the old Prus- sian is an American citizen now and has a son in the U. s. army, of whom he Is very proud. He had written a letter to this boy and 1t Is one of the strangest, the saddest, the sweetest missives this newspaper man has seen since the war began.
 The old man who came from Berlin westward, is sending a boy back along the eastern battle track to Berlin. And while he is on his way thither the father sent him message for a token. He told the boy that at a certain place along the Rhine he would find certain village. and beyond that vil- lage on a hill overlooking the great river he would find a little burying ground. My mother lies buried there. r,,,- con t-otrr e,ro dnnytbor ysrfner ,,,.a a flower from her grave and a piece of clay from the mound aDUys her. That is all l want, or ever shall want from Germany again
 This man, wrinkled and gray, but strong still, who has lived for forty years in the mountains engaged in heavy toil is a reader and a writer, too. Sitting alone at night under the peaks with the desert at his feet, he has written smooth, flowing and sweet verses and wise treatises and learned essays upon many things.
 This desert and these mountains, Who knows of their people? They come from far places and from many lands, and some bear implements and tools of toll, and others bring books and manuscripts and diplomas from famous universities. and others still come from the highest places and the lowest, from center of influence to rim of obscurity and bury their mys- teries and their greatness and their poverty and their woe and their geni us in our canyons, and we know them not and will never know.
 A man came down from the noun tains only the other cay to work in Bisbee pool room. bringing with him a book of Omar Kahyyam's verses, and some verses of his own worthy to be named with those of tne grea Persian poet.
 Judge not rashly. saith the scrip tures. The ragged pilgrim who cOmes down the Huachucas trail with his burro and his pack may nave been prince, pauper or priest. We do not know Almost every land upon which the sun shines is represented in Bis bee and her nearby canyons and val leys, and more often than We dream the scholar of other lands wields the pick today and the tOiler's son holds a high place in our councils and prog ress.

US ANGRY
 SAXYUNS" "
(From the Atlantic Monthly)

(FrOm the Atlantic MOnthly)
 It was the Sth Illinois. Chicago's ne gro regiment. going to the war Erect and 1.-the, with no slouching or shamb- ling. they were being rushed to con clusions because. for the most part. they themselves had chosen that it should be SO.
 Suddenly, at the far end Of the car. voices rose above the rumble demand ing Babe" The whole car echoed the demand: everyone wanted Babe" In response. a huge tobacco colOred fellow, big of girth and over six feet in height, struggled into a space before the door. Those nearby jugled bags and cases to make room for his feet, so that he might plant them wide apart for balance.
 Like a Colossus. like a HindoO idol. like a bronze statue of Liberty, he waited. his wide mouth puckered. his head held high, the eyes alert like those of a hound listening for the start CTS whistle.
 Show us de way, Babe" urged the car. Its all dark. Show us de way
 Babes mouth smoothed out and curved into a jack-olantern smile Someone called down the aisle. "Whar yo gwine, Babe?"
 A voice flared through the cara voice trained to camp meeting elo- quence.
 'Whar veal gwine? We's gwine to Francel Whuffur is veal gwine to France? We'se gwine to France to fight-tO fight for Libbutty; to fight for de women an de Til chillen: to fight fo' de hOnnah Ob de Unitum States. and fur de Gloryi Ebery one on us bieeged to bring somepin back home wid us fur to make de Glory out en-de Glory ob de Unitum States.

train and toll and sacrifice and talk and stand steadfast and pray.
 The blows being struck now upon the western front are hard enough to turn the tide of the war but not hard enough to end it. Not this year, but next will the stroke go home. A million Americans were enough to enable the allies to stop the Hun and turn him back. Three million will carry on to the Brandenburg Gate Only a little while, friends. Yet another hour; a season of toll and waiting in the shadows of preparation and sacrifice before the dawning of fulfillment Brave heart to do and steadfast soul to endure to the end.

A GREAT HOST
 SHALL COM"
(Nina Larrey Duryea in Harper's
 Magazine.)

(Nina Larrey Duryea in Harpers
 Magazine)
 In the evacuated region of France one heard of a woman of education who. eight months before America de- clared war, had lost her mind from too much suffering. It was said she pos sessed the gift of prophecy. One even ing this -distraught creature appeared in our garden where kultur had cut down trees. uprooted currant and rose bushes. and polluted the well. The woman wandered to and fro unmOlest- ed,, as though searching for some thing, until she reached an American soldier who had neither moved nor spoken Becoming aware of his pres ence, she asked, Who are you?"
 He sauted and replied. An Amer ican soldier fighting for France"
 Perhaps you can help me" she said. T had four sons. One lies be- meath the snows of the Vosges; one rots on the bed of the seas; one fell from heaven, know not where, and one-lay here, on my breast. soft and warm and-mine. But strange men came with spikes on their heads. There were great noises. raging and cruel happenings. At last there was a vast noise and blackness. When it passed saw my baby lying in pieces. Those men kicked the pieces and laughed and then put them in a box and took them away. Can you tell me where they are?T
 Without waiting for a reply. the -k that box which held the baby she had loved. Again she approached the sol dier, and as though for the first time. she said, Who are you?" and again he made the same reply. Then a dawning comprehension seemed to pierce her brain and she touched his sleeve and groped over the national insignia of his rank as she reiterated the word American" Then she stepped back ward and with upraised arms burst into a sort of Biblical rhapsody:
 "A great host shall come in num- bers like the stars of heaven. The sea shall bear them Justice shall be upon their banners and liberty shall be their cry. Their tread shall shake the fortresses of the proud. The great king shall hide his face in fear and shell seek for safety and find none. for the curses of his people shall rise like flames about him and he shall walk in the blood of his children. Hasten the coming of that mighty host, O Lord GOdl Make clear their way. Let the shining presence of our glorious dead be about them. for they shall briDg-peace!"
 She moved away. searching for her dead baby. It is to be remembered that she could have had no knowledge of Americas entry into the war.

A TIMELY WARNING

by KEN BlSON, BlSDee Ohl the wobbly politician says if you will vote for him, He will give you a position that will cause your head to swim: But his promise is like a bubble. quickly vanishing from sight And you'll get yourself in trouble if you don't stamp your ballot right If you're tired of law and order. you and eBtty and all the brats. And you're all a mind to risk it, you can vote with the Waumpas Cats: But your ideas are Bolsheviki and so- ciety will be a fright And you'll be getting mighty hungry if you don't stamp your ballot right
 Keep in your mind poor old Russia with the winter coming on: Can't you sea her peoeple suffering from the Bolsheviki wrong? Then keep your own head level. be brave and loyal in the fight. Or you'll find you've played the devil and your ballot wasn't stamped right

a yearning to change the skillet for a bayonet is another. Hail this cook He wants to go to war. Behind his swagger and his frown lies hidden a sense of humOr and kindliness that es- caped from the cave of his grouch to betray him. And for all his rough house manner and his heavy hand he can juggle eggs like a french chef on a Paris boulevard.

SLAVE AND EMPEROR

cavalry enemy whose super ibed Christianity a creed for slaves" The Emperor mocked Nazareth his almighty hour The Slave that bowed himself death And walked with in Nazareth What were wasted breath Before that "Sin o power" Yet in the darkest hour all.
 When black defeat began. The Emperor heard the mountains quake. He felt the graves beneath him shake. He watched his legions rally and break, he whim0ered they hear a shout that the earth cry that wakes the dead Will no tell whence they come, For all my messengers dumb? power S this that birth And breaks power?" he said. Then, all around his founderng guns, Though dawn far. The darkness filled with a living fear That whispered the Emperor's ear. "The armies the dead draw near Beneath eastern The trumpet blows in Nazareth
 The Slave is risen again, Across the bitter wastes of death, The horsemen ride from Nazareth. And Power mocked wasted breath Returns, in power. to reign; Rides on. in white, through Nazareth. To His world again.

The kaiser's last call upon Germany to Stake blood and treasure to the last, is consistent if nothing else. That has been his call for four years and Germany has needed it as no nation ever needed the call of a ruler before. But has the kaiser staked any of the blood and treasure of his family upon the warp
