For The Sea Coast Echo.
WHEN WE co ACROSS"

By 0. P. Friley, c. D. 40 NJ. G. B'n.
I've travelled from Los Angeles to
Long Island,
From Long Island to the Panama
Canal,
From the Panama Canal up to Seat
tie,
From Seattle to Balmoral.
I've travelled by rail, I've travelled by
I've travelled by the water route;
I've done the work of a Negro slave,
I've worked till the lights went out.
I've worked in the mines of Cripple
Greek,
I've mined in Mexico;
I've ridden the range in Montana,
I've railroaded in Chicago.
But that travelling stuff I've laid away
Tillsome more convenient date,
For we're going over to get some
Huns,
And write Defeat" on the Kaiser's
slate.
We spent three months in Jackson,
Preparing for the war in France;
We've had three months in Beaure
gard,
France, next place, We'll take our
chance.
When we are prepared to cross the
pond,
Gee! won't we be glad
To get up against those brutal Huns,
Which will make the Kaiser mad.
We're not going out especially for
that,
We're going to take Kaiser Bill hat,
And get his helmet, he loves 50 well,
And incidentally, send his rs.mains
to h-ll!

Thrift and the Money We Burn.

Editor The Sea Coast Echo:
The old maid wept bitterly when she
heard the thrice-made widow tell
her story of cremating her third
husband and sobbed aloud, This wo-
man has husbands to burn and l never
have been able to get a single one"
| wonder if your Uncle Sam does not
have q similar feeling when he sees
millions Of his children every minute
burning the money for which he is
now begging so piteously to fight
this war with?
Here on this corner is the Goddess
Of Liberty or some orphan child or
sorroWirg mother with weeping face
and outstretched hand begging each
American to save and help in the fight
for democracy and turning my eyes
from the picture | see any number
Of men and mere boys striking match
es and burning literally millions Of
money every year-in their pipes, in
cigars, in cigarettes, in the IS, 100000
Of annual fire losses from smoking !
+ Are we really patriotic? Are we in
earnest in our fight for democracy?
Are we willing to sacrifice small
personal comfort to win this war or
the battle Of life? The best it can be
figured out the State of Mississippi
spends each year from $80,O00,000 to
500, 100000 for useless "dopes," to-
bacco, whiskey, patent" medicines
and other life-destroyer,s and here we
are borrowing money to pay our
school teachers and asking for bonds
TO build school houses.
Are we really in earnest?

Bv Cvnrian ]. Sheen. Class '1s.

BY Cyorian j. Sheen, Class '1S.
| After the close of our mid-year exam
nation Class '18 took the resolution
of doing better in the future, and
we are proud to say we rest our stead
| fastness in the splendid showing of
| the February test which we have just
| completed. It seems as though it
were great tug of war against foe
not strong enough to overcome our
| firm determination.
We are sorry to say that two of
our members, Oliver Dabezies and
Victor Blaize, had the misfortune Of
| being sick, but they are progressing
nicely and are expected to return
soon
Tuesday night the collegians were
| somewhat surprised when it was an
nounced that they were allowed to go
to the ChautauQua. Most of the boys
took advantage Of this privilege as we
| are not allowed to go to shows during
Lent, and they seemed to have en-
ioyed their evening
Thursday morning at cur lecture
eour Brother Macarius appeared on
The stand and as Friday was Washing
-on's birthday he chose this subject.
Ie spoke Of the hardships Washing
ION had while in command Of the
American army, the lack of clothes,
ammunition, fuel, and, last Of all, but
cot the least, the lack of food. He
said that in time of war there are
hree classes Of people; The Stacker
ehe slicker and the cackler. He fin
ished by saying that he hoped cur
President Woodrow Wilson, would
Grove himself in this present war
what Washington did against the
British. He expressed himself so
clearly that the smallest boy in school
understood every word he said and
showed their appreciation by calling !
upon him to continue.
So far Friday was the most popular
day of the year. We were given a !
holiday. Then the big race was on
that evening, and thct night we had
basketball game. Ut is really too
bad Washington has net two Or three
birthdays yearly
Our last game in bas etball will |
most probably be Monday nj ght, when
We meet Nillsaps. AS good game is
expected as the opponents have won
most Of the games they played.
The ball ylayars are blooming up !
nicely and are expected to be in first
class condition shortly
Al last the cause Of 50 much sic.5-
ness in the college has been solved.

.Pascagoula Increases Rent.

The Gulfport Herald says: Louis
Stratakos spent yesterday in Pasca-
goula, Moss Point, Escatawpa and
Ocean Springs. Demand for business
places in Pascagoula has reached that
point where "holes in the walls" rent
for $4,000 per month instead of 81 so
as formerly. This advance, said Mr..
Stratakos is due to the enormous pay
roll among its several ship building
plants there and labor is finding
trouble in getting just one room in
which to rest at night,

Mother and father of dear little one,
He is waiting for you up there;
He'll lead the band of angels bright
To help you up the golden stair,
Your hearts are heavy with grief

And guide you Ger the surging tide.

mounted to but per cent of the total
Of all men since the beginning of the

The Times says 1t understands the

part of the evidence against the Sim
Feiners arrested in Ireland and that
It's authenticity is unquestionable.
ut is very necessary that this be
DONE" the Times continues, III only
to dispel the clouds OF sensational
rumor which gathered last week.
GERMANY ACTIVE FOR MONTHS
1.-The arrests are only the prelimin-
airy steps end the government will be
we'll advised to disclose at the earliest
time the substance Of the evidence -on
which they were made to follow them
up with formal processes" the Times
says.
According to the Mail. it has been
clear for months that Germany has
been using every artifice not only to
foster rebellion in Ireland but also to
use Ireland as base Of organized es-
pionage and submarine operations
against the Atlantic mercantile marine.
Oficials lay stress on the fact that
the arrests are the result of pro-Ger-
man plots and not Of Irish opposition
to conscfiption.

UTE TO TWO HEROIC COL
oRED TROOPERS

Washington, D. c., May 2O.-General
Pershing's Communique today brought
it's best story so far Of the valor and
sacrifice Of American blood on the
battlefieIGs Of France. 1t also gave
eloquent testimony to the spirit Of de-
mocracy which knows no race nor col
or.
1t told OF the gallant death Of Major
Raoul Lufberry premier American
ace of the flying corps, gentleman
globe trotter and one Of the first hiers
of the celebrated Lafayette escadrille
1t told also of the heroic fight of two
American negro soldiers, both wound
ed, who withstood raiding party Of
twenty Germans and saved comrades
from surprise and capture,
Notwithstanding thesee two incl.
dents, General Pershing referred to
yesterday es quiet day."
Reports in hand show a notable in
stance of bravery and devotion shown
by two soldiers of an american col.
ored regiment operating in a Franch
front sector" the communique says
Before daylight on May Is, Private
Henry johnson and Private Roberts,
while ON sentry duty at some distance
from each other, we're attacked by q
German -laiding party estimated at
twenty men, who advanced In two
groups, attacking at once from flank
and rear.
Both men fought bravely in hand to
hand encounters, one resorting to the
use of bolo knife after his rife
jammed and further fighting with bay
onet and butt became impossible. There
is evidence that at least one and prob
ably second German was severely
cut. A third is known to have been
shot.
THE two colored sentries we're first
attacked and continued fighting after
receiving wounds and despite the use
of grenades by a. superior force. They
should be given credit for preventing.
by their bravery, the capture OF any OF
our, men. Three OF our men were
wounded, two by grenades. All are re-
covering and the wounds in two cases
are slight"
