 TO DIFFERENT FIELD

DOUGLAS, March 25-Rev E. s. Bollinger, pastor of the Congregation al church at this place for the past 21 months, announced at the close of his sermon last night that the mis- sion board had seen fit to transfer him from this place to Valdez, his instructions being to be ready to proceed to the Westward city as soon after the middle of April as convenient. Just why Rev. Bollinger should be taken away from Douglas and sent to Valdez, which charge is about to become vacant, is not ap- parent either to himself or the people here but as it is the decree of the mission board, he has no option in the matter, but his departure and that of his excellent family from this place will be generally regretted and will be distinct loss to the Island they having taken an active part in everything of public nature since coming here.
 Miss Alice Bollinger who has been attending college since last fall al Forest Grove, Oregon, will arrive here next week and will accompany her father to Valdez. Mrs. Bollingel will go to Oregon to visit son and a daughter, both married, when the oth CT families leave for the westward

SOLDlER'S SENTIMENTS POLITICALLY EXPRESSED
 TO GIRL LEFT BEHIND

TREADW ELL, March 23.-NelS An derson received by the last mail letter from his soldier son, William, who was reared on Douglas Island and who is now in training at a camp located just outside Washington City. The young man, who has the dis tinction of being the tallest man in many thousands in that camp, writes his father that soldier life is agree ing with him; that he has extended up into the atmosphere until he now stands feet and inches, his weight 198 pounds, being in proportion to his height. William sends a poem with his letter which was written by sergeant in his company and which evidently expresses the senti- ments of the general run of soldiers who left sweethearts behind them, The poem is entitled One Day Camp" and is as follows. When it's five-fifteen in the morning and the bugler sounds first call, And the Sergeant yells Outside" !"
 Come now, one and all, And | step outside the barracks and
 everything is fresh with dew, When it's reville8 in the morning,
 Dear, my thoughts then turn to you. L
 When it's seven-fifteen in the morn ing and the sick call then is heard,
 You roll up your right sleeve and
 walk in without a word,
 They jab a needle in your arm, and they make you like it, too, Then to make the misery lighter, love my thoughts then turn to you.
 When it's seven-thirty and drill call and everyone gets in line,
 It's squads right and four left, quick | and double time,
 1 When 1 am tired, worn and weary
 just sore, through and through It makes it all seem lighter, Girl
 for my thoughts turn to you,
 When it's eleventhirty and recall from both drill and work,
 Both of which the Engineers have never been known to shirk,
 And come back to my quarters, then
 of course don't feel so blue,
 For now it's time for rest, so l just | sit and think of VOL When it's one-fifteen in the after 1 noon, an unearthly sound is made
 It's nothing in the world but fatigue | call get a shovel or spade.
 And I try to make this hilltop look ] like the valleys do,
 But it makes the old pick lighter love, when my thoughts turn l back to you.
 | When it's five-thirty in the evening | and retreat and all is done, And I sit and smoke my pipe and 1 watch the setting of the sun. | And I watch the smoke above the pipe forming rings so round and l blue,
 I see face in each ring, love, and of course, the face is you. When it's ten o'clock at night and
 taps are blown so very low, l I lie awake athinking of the times not long ago, And all my thoughts are of one girl, whom I know is true, , Then l go to sleep and dream, and all my dreams are then of you. But. when the German stops his murdering and raiding on the sea, And the submarines are all sunk and the German soldiers flee, And the Kaiser doffs his helmet to the Old Red, White and Blue. With the rest of this victoria Us bunch, then I'll return to you. -Halbert M. Beasley,

with their mask Of shell and coat

semblance to the opossum family
that the American soldier with
gas mask bears to the human
being. The Armadillo is of the
genus Dasypus. The animal is a
native of South America, where
it grows to enormous size, many
of them being as large as swine.
The Texas variety is much smaller
in size. Their meat is said to be
excellent for eating purposes.
