London Times: The following i'm
pressions are taken from the letter
OF a neutral woman who has passed
all her life in Berlin, which she left
last month:
i have often been obliged to ask
myself with surprise, when walking
of an evening in the western part
of Berlin. whether / was really in the

Externally, also, the restaurants
make a different impression now,
since there is no longer any table
linen. The tables are for the most
part covered with a glass plate, but
one also sees paper tablecloths. The
cafes in which good orchestras play
and where for some time past cabaret
artists also appear, are those in
which most animation prevails. The

BIT OF VERSE
THE BRAVE AT HOME.


The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain disseInbles.
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry teardrop hangs and trembles-
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
AS Ger believed the field of glory,
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And brayely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent ~assunder,
Doomed nightly in ner dreams TO hear
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field OF battle.
The mother who conceals her grief
While TO her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and brief,
kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the lain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on freedoms field Of honor!

WAR SAVINGS COMMITTEE

One soldier wouldn't get very far
If he were to attempt a drive cover
the Top 'alone. Nor would one Lib
erty Bond, or one War Savings
Stamp, win the war. 1t is organiza-
ton that counts Everybody going
along together shoulder to shoulder
that is going to hurl back the Huns
and win the victory for democracy.
"Out There in Kansas" a mighty
army of men and women and boys
and girls is marching shoulder to
shoulder, increasing IN numbers as it
moves along. This is the army of war
savers, buyers of Liberty Bonds and
War Savings and Trift Stamps and it
Is going to send the boys cover the
top in regiments and divisions
During the big drive for the third
Liberty Loan, while towns and coun-
ties are putting over their quotas and
winning Honor Flags, the school chill
dren of Kansas are organizing War
Savings Societies-units of this
mighty army-by dozens and scores
Applications are coming into the
War Savings headquarters at Kansas
City, Kansas so rapidly the artists
can't letter the Charter Cards fast
enough
Practically every community In the
ter of War Savings Societies, and it
should not be long until there is a
society in every school. Some of the
towns already have 100 per cent. eff
cheney in War Savings. The larger
cities have many societies, but the
per capita of savings is larger in the
rural communities where the school
''kids" are doing their level best to
help win the war
The Liberty Bond is the big bro
Their to the War Savings Stamp. Both
are children of the same parents, the
great body of patriotic Americans
whose one aim is to win the war
Buy Liberty Bonds now, but after
the big drive is over and Kansas has
done its full share, continue War saw
ings and buying stamps, for Kansas
cannot afford to fall down in the
great scheme OF saving that is to
count so much for the future pros
perity and happiness of the people.
When you feel like fighting as
surely you do once in a while if you
are a real red-blooded American
don't lose your head and waste your
energy. Buy Liberty Bonds or paste
the Kaiser one in the eye with a War
Savings or Thrift Stamp.
The entire lumber interests and the
wood working industry OF this Nation
are being organized for War Savings
as department Of the campaign car
ried on by the National War Savings
Committee. Mr. Howard E. Case of
Wichita, of the Davidson & Case

James Engle, former judge of the
Randolph county circuit court, was
once called on to defend, at Winches-
ter, the owner of a melon patch who
had shot an invader. The only posi-
bic defense for the prisoner was self
defense. The trial had proceeded to
the point where the defendant was on
direct examination by Engie. ''Now,
SAM" said Engle, you say you shot
in self-defense. Just tell the jury all
about it in your own way" ''No, sir,
JIM" said the witness. "You got that
wrong. I didn't say that. It was just

Timothy Dwight appeared recently in
the daily press. In his early days,
when he was a tutor in charge of stu
dent discipline at Yale, a sort of proc
tor, apparently, he was called out of
his room by some midnight escapade.
He was obliged as a matter of duty
to pursue the disturbers. and with his
long legs he soon found himself gain
ing rapidly upon them. Thereupon a
solemn voice rang out suddenly into
the night:
''Gentlemen, if you don't run little
faster, shall be obliged to overtake
