HOME TOWN

Upon the road to long ago there stands
a little town.
II is waiting for its children when
they lay their burdens down;
When they ease their straining shout
ders and stand q moment free
or the things that rise between them
and the kids they used to be.
II is sweet to rest little when you're
weary Of the game
In that little far-off village where they
know your Christian name
We left the village long ago to try
our strength upon
That road that for the most of us
leads uphill, on and on
And some have gained great repute
and others dropped behind
And we all grow tired sometimes OF
the tawdry things we find
That shone so bright before us wnen
we took the trail for Fame
rhan We turn back to our village
where they know your Christian
name.

The more we learn Of what is called
German efficiency" the lees impressed
are we with it. That sort of belief
has been fostered by industrious Ger
man propaganda, and now that the
war Is tearing off the mask its falslty
is shown, says Aberdeen American.
The dire troubles that were coming
TO us because we would not be able
to get the benefit of German ingenu.
ity have faded before the genius of
Americans, who are now supplying bet.

from our own states and every other

BARE FEET AND CHERRY LEAVES

Beer and sausage are German In
lispensables. Even though the alco-
holic content of the beer may be re-
duced to the vanishing point and the
Eausage may be made Of horsemeat,
the German must have these two
things. But there are other things that
Inay be dispensed with. Tobacco, for
Example, is not a necessity. The big
meerschaum must be stuffed with
something, but when you do not have
tobacco dried cherry leaves may do.
And the German who munches horse
sausages to the accompaniment Of
nonalcohollc beer may find a certain
comfort in the aroma Of burning
cherry. II he were more imagina-
tive mortal the consolation would be
greater. But how about clothes7 Wool

the soldiers just went wild. We came

At present | am in rest camp but
am kept busy cleaning equipment
which was in bad condition.
| suppose the people back home
went wild when they heard that the
war was over for time at least, but
under the present conditions l am
under the impression that it will not
start again and peace will be made
soon and we can leave for the States.
1t Will be the grandest day of our
lives when we step off boat on L. S.

faces to think that the world war was
over. Every town We passed coming
back from the lines TO the rest camp

With the failure Of submarine war
fare more and more apparent, 1t would
have been particularly pleasing to the
Germans had such a ship as the Mount
Vernon, the former Kronprlnzessin &c.
clie, been sent to the bottom by tor
pedo. Happily the shot failed to sink
her and she returned TO a French port.
The loss thus averted would have been
Il serious one, comparable to that OF
the Justicia. The Mount Vernon Is
one Of the fastest Of the ships In the
transport service, and she is credited
with being even more valuable than
the huge Leviathan in the work Of get
sling troops over as quickly as posi-
bic. 1t is a great piece Of good for.
tune that she escaped. Indeed, the
fact that so few transports have been
sunk, and that those were attacked on
the return voyage, emphasizes the adj
mirable work of the navy In protecting
them from a menace OF all the most
difficult to avoid or detect.

The plan to free the schools from

which will meet the full appreciation
OF the public. The schools constitute
the most dangerous ground for alien

fertile soil. 1t is in the schools that
patriotism must be firmly planted. for
