She stands alone beside the gate.
Where oft with him she stood
before,
And seems to hear his voice re-
late
Lies sweetest story, Ger and
DER;
A hand she feels upon her own,
Unconsciously a tender glance
She gives, then starts and stands
alcne,
The lover sleeps-Somewhere
in France.
She could have kept him if she
would
His heart and soul were all
her own
But true love knew and under
stood
That Honor is its own true
throne,
She heard the bugles' blaring
sound
And whispered,-"Go and
take your chance"
There mid the scenes of war he
found
Eternal peace-Somewhere in
France.
She knows not where that spot
may be-
On barren plain, in hidden dell.
On wooded hill, beside the sea-
The lips that would will never
tell;
She knows not what his last
words were,
The thoughts that came with
Deaths advance,
And yet. she feels they were of
her,
Those last fond thoughts
Somewhere in France.

Mans Efforts Show Worth.

Character is best seen in the pur- suit of its own ideals. Left to him. self, man finds the level of his own thinking. His leisure hours are the index of his inner worth. It's what 3 fellow tries to be that shows his aim declares Grit. It's easy enough to move along with the flowing tide. It's struggle against odds that tells of character. The world may never see your effort because it is engrossed in Itself. But you will find the response of effort in increased strength and multiplied power.

RUSS HARD TO SATISFY.
Difficult Job to Set Up Stable Govern
ment in Russia.

Correspondence Associated Press.l
Stockholm, Oct. 4.--If any nation or
outside leader attempts to set up
stable government in Russia they
doubtless will find the mercurial Rus
slams difficult lot to satisfy They
have plenty of ideas and opinions but
lack action.
1.-THE trouble with Russians is that
they believe opinions are achieve
ments" recently said Il prominent
American who is familiar with Russian
affairs. This certainly characterizes
many Of the Russians who are now
waiting in Scandinavia for something
to happen in RussiS They are criticiz-
ing the allies for failure to act more
speedily in Russia.
Their changea bleness is surprising,
The yer? leaders who we," loudest in
denouncing the Brest peace treaty were
soon hobnobbinS with the C. nrmaps.
PAIL Milyukoff and other leaders of the
extreme right who had pretended great
friendship for the entente turned to the
Germans in an effort to establish under
their protection monarchy which
would father the policies of the con-
stitutional democratic party.
When it became evident that the
Germans would not enter northern
Russia in large numbers and set up
an aristocratic government similar to
that of Skoropadsky in the Ukraine.
bourgeoise leaders who had turned
from the entente to Germany, again be-
came friendly toward the entente and
less critical of the failure Of the Eng
lish, French and Americans to enter
Russia in large numbers and overthrow
the existing government. Entente sue
cesses on the western front and entente
support of the Czechs in their phenom-
email campaigns against the bolsheviki
further softened the hearts OF Russian
leaders of the extreme right. But dip
lomats of the entente powers stationed
in Russia were not deceived by
chameleon like Russian leaders whose
aim seems to be the establishment of
class government. The action OF the
entente in refusing support to the
Horvath government in Siberia indi-
Gates clearly the decision of the entente
to- stand aloof from class and party
movements and give the great mass
of Russians a chance to work out their
will by democratic means.

the purchase OF $500 white canvass

Paris, Oct. Is.-(By Maii)--Ualf a
dollar will keep an American soldier in
France supplied with all the athletic
material which he viii need In 1919.
This doesn't seem possible when you
realize that sNgle baseball costs
Sl.25 and "A fair glove 50 to S. Yet
this is the estimate made by the
physical training department Of the
American Y. NJ. G. A. and the figures
are based on experience.
OF course this does not mean thu,
every soldier In the American expcdl-
tionary force can be supplied with a
complete individual outfit for every
sport that he may fancy. II would take
a billion dollars to make this possible.
II does mean. however, that the Red
Triangle will be prepared to furnish
the paraphernalia to any group OF men
wanting to play any athletic game
The overseas department of the Y. VI,
C. A. expects to spend close to a mil
lion and a half dollars for athletic
equipment to he used between Jan
uary 1 and December 81. 1919. This
Is a staggering sum, but It doesn't seem
nearly so big when you consider that
the military authorities estimate that
the United States will have upward Of
three million men in France before
the end OF next year In fact. II is
little to cover as much ground -
must be covered.
Present estimates are based on the
belief that II will take just about
twice as much money to buy athletic
supplies for the A. T., +, in 1919 as 1t
took in 1918. II is impossible at this
time to give an exact statement OF the
expenditures for the present year but
they probably will exceed s700. eco The
figures that the Red Triangle has pre-
pared called for an expenditure of ST.
1890 for sporting goods In 1919. am
the actual outlay will be more rather
than less than this sum.
Baseball naturally will receive most
attention. II couldn't be otherwise
where American soldiers are gathered
together. There are plenty of other
good games in the world but there is
nothing exactly like baseball The
yanks are playing it on every level
piece of ground in France. 1t will cost
