DREAMS VS.. REALITY.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Just a line or two written at odd
moments. dedicated to the 72no
squadron"
When l was just little boy
And all the world looked bright,
My one and only great desire
Was to show my strength and might
l longed to be a soldier boy,
So that in the battles fray,
/ would do some heroic act
And thereby save the day.
I could see myself with medals large
Upon my coat of blue,
And hear the people talking
OF the things that I could do.
And now, much to my pleasure,
The reality has come to pass,
But I am just Rookie"
OF the lowest type or class.
Just mere plain Rookie"
Found in squad Thirteen"
The rookiest squad in the squadron.
In fact. the rookiest ever seen.
/ wear no medals for bravery.
Nor my picture does not adorn
The walls of the halls of the famous.
Meath flag all tattered and torn.
I'm working here in Rich Field,
Just welding fowly wrench;
And I've forgotten all my dreams
Ut blood-strewn fields and trench
I work from early morning
Till way late at night;
And what do, try tosdo
With all my will and might.
For want to get that s.Kaiser,'
want to mix it" with the hun
And show the bloomin' beggar :.
I'm regular "Son-o-a-gun."
Then when the war is over
l want to be able to say
That Pm going back to freedom,

Those Lightning Trained Yam

KEGS.
New York World.
Those ''lightning-trained Yankees"
in the Montdider sector have been
carrying on again. Pitted hopelessly
against German soldiers trained from
their youth up, as Berlin would say,
they rushed the kaiser's invincibles off
their feet, fought their way through
to all their objectives, including the
village of Cantigny, and bagged 200
prisoners. Lightning training. thus
does not appear to be wholly incon-
sistent with lightning-like strokes in
action, as Germany is rapidly learn
ing. With hundreds of thousands of
American soldiers of similar calibre
already gathering just back of the al
lied battle lines, the desperate German
effort to break through somewhere
is abundant explanation.

ed by the Lords supper. Children's
day was observed at the NJ. E. church
at II o'clock and the usual good pro-
gram carried out which was quite in
teresting and concluded with a stirring
and thrilling talk by the pastor, Rev.
w. L. Maness. The congregation was
large and very attentive, and a liber-
al collection was taken in behalf of
needy schools. The anthem quoted by
the locals was a feature, also splen-
did solo by Mrs. Jas. Blue.
The services at the auditorium ION
Thursday at II o'clock were largely
attended. Nearly all the town was
present and large number from the
surrounding country. Rev. J.. L. Jen-
kins, pastor of the Baptist church, and
Rev. W. L. Maness, pastor of the
NJ F.. church, were present and con-
Quoted the services, making exceed
ingly good and patriotic speeches;

strong and harmonious.
