ry' idea recently inaugurated by one of our most
prominent merchants. Good idea that and one
we are going to put in practise-you pay cash
in advance for your paper and carry it from the
postofice. Come on, now! We've carried some
of you quite long time and it is time you cashed
in-or we will probably have to. All of which
means that we wish every one who has not paid
in advance for his paper would call on us or send
us check. We are not usually so persistent
but we do need that money.

The Havas correspondent at the

official view, thus summarizes the
situation:
THE rapid advance of the enemy
is due to temporary numerical infe-
riority of the allies, which has com
pletely changed the aspect of the
struggle. 1t is necessary to go back
to the beginning of the war for an
analogous situation. This is a war

The Plea of the Red Cross Nurse

The Plea of the Red Cross Nurse.
(By Will II. Cressy)
Do they want smokes?
Do you think they are jokes;
These tales we're telling to you,
These tales of the trenches,
Where our soldiers blood drenches
The earth like crimson dew?
Let me tell YOU a story;
A story of glory;
or boy that l saw go.
He was only a lad;
He might have been bad:
Or he might have been good; I
don't know.
1t was just at the dawning
OF bright summer morning
That they brought in this boy to
me.
He was sheil-torn, and burned,
For l knew that he never would
see.
So l said to him Dear,
Don't YOU think while I'm here
| might write you a letter or two?
To your sister or brother,
Sweetheart or mother-
Someone who's waiting for you?"
i'ut he just shook his head
There's no one" he said,
ITO write to: I'm all alone
There's no one to cry
Because I've to die
But" he said with a groan,
There's one thing on this earth
That just now would be worth
More than anything l know.
And won't you please try to get
Me one cigarette!
Just one smoke before go?"
And we searched, and we prayed:
Any price we'd have paid
To ease that dying boys pain.
But in all that great place
There was not trace,
SOME ONE had forgotten again.
they'd send powder and guns
To butcher the Huns,
But no tobacco or cigarette.
And this boy in his pain
Was pleading in vain,
Oh God! how CAN you forget?
So try and remember
What you gave last December
Won't last as long as you live
IT was gone-long ago,
And / want you to know
You should GIVE-AND GIVE
AND GIVE!
