TODAYs BIT OF VERSE
SELF DEPENDENCE

SELF DEPENDENCE
Weary Of myself, and sick of asking
What am and what ought to be,
At this vessels Prov stand, which bears me
Forwards, forwards. o'er the starlit sea.
And q look OF passionate desire
Der the sea and to the stars send;
rye who from my childhood up have Gained me,
Calm me, ali, compose to the e0dl"
.Ah once more" cried, 20 stars. re waters
On my heart your mighty charm renew;
Still, stn let me, as gaze upon YOU
Feel my soul becoming vast like you'll"
From intense, clear, star-sown vault Of heaven,
Over the lit seas unquiet way,
In the rustling night air came the answer:
.-Woudst thou be these are? Live as they.
~Unaffrigfrted by the silence round them
Undistracted by the sights they see,
These demand not that the things without them
.And with Joy the stars perform their shining,
And the sea its long moonsilvered roll
For seIfpoised they live pine with noting
An the fever of differing soul
-Bounded by themselves and unregardful
In what state Gods other works may be,
In their tasks all their powers pouring,
These attain the mighty LIE you see."
O afr-born voice. long since severely clear,
cry like thine in mine own heart hear:
Resolve to be myself; and know that he
Who finds himself, loses his misery"

A BROADENING EXPERIENCE.

A young American in Canadian regiment
takes particular pains in his letters home to re-
pei any notion that he is suffering or down
hearted. There are hardships in trench life
and the mud and the rats bit disconcert-
ing at times; but it Is the actual unvarnished
truth, he says, that he is having the time Of
is Life and would never think twice before en-
listing again The Canadian army in France,
be declares, is the most cheerful and utterly
happy go-lucky crowd he ever saw or imagined
Their dugouts ring with roars of laughter; and
the few g gooms and crape-hangers' with them
are all new men,
We probably are far from realizing the won
derful valte of this experience for the young
men of this land. Reflect for moment on the
fact that two million Of our boys, and twice as
many it may be, will be lifted out of the dull
routine of narrow lives and humdrum pursuits
in factories and Offices and on farms, to be
trained, fed, clothed, instructed, their physical
and moral health looked after more carefully
than it ever was for most of them at home, and
to have advantages of travel which only the
weIl-to-do have heretofore enjoyed. They
march before kings in ancient, historic cities.
They contact men of many races from the utter
most ends of the earth They hear new
tongues and learn how people live who were
only names to them before. Must this not be
an immensely broadening and beneficial ex-
pierencef And besides and beyond all this, in
what a different intellectual atmosphere they
move and live! They learn the principles for
which they battle, what governmental institu-
tons stand for, what freedom means for man
mind, what the age-long struggle of the world
is winning what the evolutionary goal of hui
mainly is. Will they not be wiser and more
thoughtful, broadened and deepened, on their
return, appreciative of all that Is good
in our republic, more sensible of all it lacks
and more determined that it shall be better
government for all the people than it was be-
foref
And most of them win come back. Less
than four of every thousand of our forces in
France have died thus far from all causes put
together; and while this rate will be in
creased if all of them get into BATTLE we must
remember that certain per cent of them would
have died at home. And the men who do come
back will be honored IN every walk of life The
future viii afford them exceptional oppor-
tunities

place on March End, $4,000 being
given over the Junior Red Cross to be
devoted to child welfare work abroad,

Truthfully says the Tampa Times:
''The suppression of German propa-
ganda in it's every form is an imme-
date necessity. The German-born
person who claims the rights of AM
erican citizenship must be an Amer
lean in fact as well as in name Or keep
his mouth closed relative to the war
work of this country. The German
born person who has lived in this
country for years without becoming a
citizen proves that his heart is with
Germany, and he must be made to
keep his place. The war is on in
earnest now, and the American peo-
pie should tolerate nothing that is
anti-American any more than the
German people tolerate anything that
is anti-German in the fatherland.
Suppress the propagandists-and
suppress them now"

bread amounting in quantity to less
