Down like a roaring lion came
Master in tho Roaring game,
Believing like thunder;
And from his nostrils fire snorted
AS in frenzy he cavortcd
To make folks wonder!
speed up tho war! Speed up the war"
Thus howlcd the voice OF Theodore,
The Fire Eater;
The while he winkcd a tricky eye
And hcavcd diplomatic sigh,
The Devil Beatcr!
And from the Bo1shevik clan
Came there Man. and then Man,
And then Another
Tricklcd they in with many a smile.
WinkinE tho crafty wink the while.
AS Man to Brother.
SO came they ono, and two and three.
Into tho presence of King Me,
To pass inspections:
Speeding the war and making noise
To fool the unsusnectins boys
Before election.
SO goes the game. the Roaring game.
With methods that arc quito tho same
Plus camounaEcs;

GRASS FIRE MENACE
SUBURBAN HOMES

Yesterday morning at II o'clock,
residents on Sixteenth avenue. near
the Lloyd street intersection, asked
that a truck be sent to that vicinity
to aid in extinguishing a grass fire
which started in some manner. and
which threatened to damage proper
ty in the immediate neighborhood,
No sooner had a call been turned
in but that the truck, situated at
the corner of Ninth avenue and
Strong street made a flying trip to
the scene and soon had the danger
under control.
Residents in the New City section
report that a carelessly dropped
match in almost every instance is the
cause of the Sc fires starting which
cause the calls to be turned in for
the department. A little precau-
ton exercised by smokers while in the
vicinity of dried-out grass Will pre-
clude the necessity of calling out
the trucks, one citizen explained
yesterday very strongly.

GREEK MUSICIAN
PLEASES BIC CROWD

Several hundred music lovers
gathered at the w. o. W. hall to hear
the concert given for the benefit of
the Greek Orthodox church by y.
Petropoulos. the Greek musician. who
has been all over the L. S. and who
has played before the crowned heads
of Europe. The concert was highly
pleasing to all who attended, among
whom were a large number of Amer
leans, and practically a majority Of
the Greek colony of Pensacola. The
numbers rendered were heartily en-
cored, and the evening was most
pleasantly passed. Prof. Petropoulos
showed himself a master of the
stringed instruments, and thus prov
ed the truthfulness of the
enconiums heaped upon him by the
press of larger cities in which he
has given concerts for the benefit
of the Red Cross.
