BY John HAY
There's happy time coming.
When the boys comp home.
There's glorious day. coming,
When the boys come home.
We will end the dreadful story
OF this treason dark and cory
In a sunburst of glory,
When the boys come home.
The day will seem brighter
When the boys come home,
For our hearts will be Tighter
When the boys come khome.
Wives and sweathearts will press them
In their arms and caress them,
And pray God to bless them,
When the boys come home.
The thinned ranks will be proudest
When the boys come home,
And their cheer will ring the loudest
When the boys come home.
The full ranks will betshattered;
And the bright arms WIN beabattered,
And the battle-standards tattered,
When the boys come home.
Their bayonets may be rusty,
When the boys come home,
And their uniforms dusty,
When the boys come home.
But all shall see the traces
OF battles royal graces,
In the brown and bearded faces,
When the boys come home.
Our love shall go to meet them,
When the boys come home,
To bless them and to greet them,
When the boys come home;
And the fame of their endeavor
Time and change shall not dissever
From the nations heart forever,
When the boys come home.

BASEBALL MAGNATES
TO HELP RED CROSS
Increase in Admissions Nav
Go to War Aid.

Chicago, Feb. more than sioo.o
American Red Cross by the two MAJOR
teaguessthis season if plans now undtl
consideration are carried out, President
Ban johnson of the American league,
announced tonight. IL is planned Ia in
crease the cost of all admissions five
or ten cents and turn over the differ
enCc between the regular fee plus wa,
tax and the Increased price To the Red
Cross. Club owners in both leagues
favor the plan and all that remains is
official permission from Washington
officials. Mr.. Johnson said.
Under this plan" said Mr.. Johnson,
"bleacher seats would cost 30 cents
pavilion IS cents, granastand 50 cents
aud boxes. Sl1o. Thus, on each tickle,
there would be two or three cents left
over after we paid the war tax. This
and the total for the season. based on
last seasons figures, would amount to
more than 100000.
This not only would give IA larg,
sum to IA worthy cause but would
eliminate much of the bother of max
ing small change at the ticket office.
The plan now is being considered
by the internal revenue department ant
understand has met with their ap.
proyal. The man paying the cNtrs
cents would not miss them, but in {
season. it would mean quite bit Of
help for the Red Cross"

Everything
French Peasants Would
Give That TO War.

Paris.-Georges Clemenceau, the
premier, told a little story to the
chamber the other day to illus
trate his own confidence in the
peasants of France He had just
told the house that, as the com
mander in chief had urgent need
of some thousands of men to do
certain work just behind the first
lines. he would have to call out
men of the classes of 1890 and 1891.
that is men of AZ and AZ, who had
been released from military service
to work on the land. They would
be needed for January and Feb
ruary, when their work at home
was Of less importance.
Brought m in the midst of
peasants" he said, II know their
devotion. courage and great souls.
| have seen peasants In my native
Vendee who have had four sons
killed, a fifth made prisoner and
a sixth still at the front One of
them came to me, with tears in his
eyes and said.
Monsieur. is II all going to end
wcll?' And when I said that was
sure il would, he said Then l
will give everything,
at would be an insult to such
peasants" continued NJ. Clemen-
ceau, ito suppose that they would
haggle over six or seven weeks

The number OF men wanted tx
understood to be 100000 and their
work is generally thought to be
preparing defenses against the ex-
pccted great German offensive IN
