THE FUNSTON DOUBLE
TRACK
BY Willard Wattles
OF The Nigilantes

con the way to Funston wher
troop trains pass, the men going il
different directions reach out and
slap hands.)
The trains that move to Funston
Run on double track
And fast as new recruits come down
The old recruits go back.
And some are clad in khaki.
And some are queerly dressed
In all the odd disguises
OF gaudy shirt and vest.
The trains that come from Funston
Go rushing to the east
Across the greening corn land
Where harvesting has ceased,
And every train that passes
Is thunderous with noise.
Each window oyerflowing
With ruddy, laughing boys.
The trains that go to Funston
Move steady to the west
Frcighted with equal cheering,
With equal honor blessed:
And as the trains are passing
The men reach out their hands
And at the touch electric
Each rookie understands.
You'll like it, boy, you'll like it,
The lads in khaki shout;
Hey bo, where are you going"
Don't know, we'll soon find out
\ touch, a laugh u passing
"lll meet you coming back
Where train go down to Funston
Upon the double track.
From Bunker Hill to Nicksburg.
From Washington to Lee.
Still speaks the dauntless laughter
That keeps nation free;
The voice OF intercession
Still rings for sorrowing lands
As stern as that May morning
When Dewey swept the sands.
Dead hands across the mountains,
Brave hands acros, the years.
Still hit the sword OF battle,
Still soothe the ancient tears;
'or there are fields in Flanders
With bate and horror black Il y
)h, its fine to ride to Funston
Upon the double track.

TOO MANY BELGIAN
REFUGEES FOR DUTCH

Eindhoven, The Netherlands, Nov.
2-The real reason for the refusal
OF the Dutch government to permit
refugees to cross the Belgian
Netherlands fronties, was that their
numbers proved to be greater than
the Dutch autorities had expected,
according to information from a re-
liable source. The Dutch resources
for the care OF refugees proved
inadequate, owing to the great num-
bers arriving.
