Soldiers like poetry!
Recently one collection found special
favor with them. 1t Is a 100-to-1 shot
tho average reader could not guess
which poet it was who attained this
popularity.
No, not Robert Service, nor Rudyard
Kipling, but Robert Browning!
Perhaps Browning had an unfair ad-
vantage. for the Boston Browning So
ciety prepared a small thirty-page col
lection of passages from his works
especially applicable to the war and Its
personal problems. It was this volume
which Y. NJ. C. A. workers in camps
have found hits the men between the
eyes"
Probably many Browning students did
not know that Browning was good
propagandlst for the war Of democracy.
But there are in this collection pas
sages like these:
II forsee and announce
Necessity of warfare in one case.
For one cause; way. bid broach the blood
o. the world. For truth and right. and only
right
And truth 49,
Then there are passages like this.

Just one year ago today. when this
country was preparing to enter the
world war, the War Department issued
q call for 1885 Regular Army re-
cruits. That number was divided into
state quotas, each state being allotted
an equal percentage of her population
That the country as a whole responded
with great patriotism is shown by the
fact that all the states. with the excep-
tion of eight, have recruited men in ex-
cess of their quotas. The total redruit-
ment to date is 3ss.105, being 214,e07 in
excess Of the total quota.
/ Sectionally. the western states lead in
the recruitment in ratio to their quotas
The eight states which have not enlist
ed their quotas are: Arkansas, Lou
isiana, Mississippi. North Carolina
South Carolina, Virginia, Vermont and
Wisconsin. Maryland New Mexico
North Dakota. West Virginia. Delaware.
Georgia. Kentucky and Maine supplied
just a few more than their allotted
quotas.
Pennsylvania and New York have
supplied the most recruits, each being
credited with over $4,000 men. Nevada,
with a quota of but 1862. led all the
states by supplying nine and a half
times its quota. Montana came sec

STAR MAIL ROUTE

Be D|SCONT|NU UED

Beginning with the first of next
month, the star mail route between
Holtville and the Elghline district will
be discontinued and there will be no
regular mail service along the route
as heretofore This is due to the fact
that all bids put in for handling the
mail between the two points mentioned
were considered too high by the gov
ernment for the services renderd, and
as Uncle Sam does not care to pay the
rates asked, he will discontinue the
service. From now on the mail will
be delivered in that section only as
someone comes to the local postoffice
and carries it out TO the people along
the route, which may be once week
or less. Heretofore the people in that
section received their mail three times
a week by government delivery. Post
master Brown has taken the matter
up with the general postoffice IN an
endeavor to get rural route estab-
lished and has every hope of heing
successful. >
