Eneamping for Liberty and the U. S. A.

Encamped throughout our land today
Our noble armies stand.
To fight for home and all that's right
In this our native land.
against tyrant, evil foe,
Let all our strength be hurled,
So we can show this greedy lord
He cannot rule the world.
The United States of America,
With resources greatly blessed,
The land of love and liberty,
With government the best
The land where milk and honey flows
And fields of waving corn,
Where birds their songs of rapture sing,
To greet the rising morn.
Within this Canaan OF the West,
Democracy is sure,
The cattle a thousand hills
Proclaim from shore to shore;
From Pacific to the Atlantic coast
The great and bounteous store,
The Lord has blessed our country with
Rich measures, running DER.
The Stars upon our Flag today
Are patterned from above,
They shine through clouds Of deepest blue
And tell of peace and love.
The stripes of red are heroes dead
Who shed their blood so free,
That spotless white, the other stripes,
Would show peace and liberty.
CHORUS:
Faith in our allies true
Faith in the Red, White and Blue;
With God to help US through
We will conquer every foe.

Speed Up!

There are at least two things about which
municipalities ought to get very busy right away.
One thing is the appropriation of vacant city
lots for war garden purposes. The other thing
is the purchase and storage OF fuel in behalf OF
those who haven't the ready cash to pay for their
fuel
Both OF these propositions can be worked out
without hardship to anybody, or loss to munich
pality or civic organization that engages in them
And now is the time to go to it!

Special Correspondent Of The Washington Herald.
New York, April "a book with
out a title is the latest contribution
to the world OF letters. 1t was writ
ten by George Jean Nathan, bravo OF
the printed page. who is continual
ly swapping his artistic fingers at the
conventions. Mr.. Nathan comes oul
of the West and is just as breezy as
New Workers understand westerners
to be.
He likes to seoff at the madness OF
Manhattan and he is a constant source
of irritation to dramatic managers
whose productions he reviews in q
cynical style. He tells of asking an
original New Yorker to name the
three boroughs of the city. The reply
was Manhattan. Bronx and Martini. ''
Here are a few extracts from the
book without a title: The stock
brokers wife. mother of six children
and portly. was a fatalist. why
worry" she was wont to say. When
the times comes for me to die, IL will
come properly enough. and that's all
there is to il"
That afternoon, she was run over
by a brewery wagon while on her way
TO see a singing teacher about hav-
ing her voice cultivated.
Here is still another. There were
many ardent suitors for her hand.
And they sent her orchids and violets
and lilies and roses. All save one, a
voor young fellow, who sent her but
4 simple bunch Of daisies.
She married the man who sent the
orchids.
Mr.. Nathan is. however. something
more than an amusing cynic. He
strikes a human note in all of his
writing. He admits that he gets
spirflicated once a month. hates high
brow literature. never answers his
telephone and is fond OF silk striped
shirts.

1t is a curious thing about these

body ever heard OF them. During
the past six weeks the divorce
grind has been particularly heavy.
Names prominent in all walks of
life-from the dentist who charges
$50 an hour for tinkering with
teeth to the millionaire clubman-
have figured in divorces and in each
instance some obscure little chorus
girl living in a ballroom and cook
ing on an oil stove was the siren.
There isn't a name in the list OF
the recent crop OF correspondents
that would light Broadway with
the flicker of one of the drops that
electrically sprays out OF sign

PENN "MEDICS" PLAN
TO ASK WAR TRAINING
Pleas to Government and
Faculty Will Be Made
at Smoker

University Of Pennsylvania medical
students have not given up their efforts
to get military training for all men en-
listed in the medical officers reserve.
II. NJ. Miller. of the senior class. will
propose, at the annual smoker of the
senior medical class of the University
tonight. that the faculty be asked to
shorten the final trimester by two weeks
and that the Government be asked to
give siX-week course In military train
ing. The meeting will be held at the
Hotel Rittenhouse. Twenty-second and
Chestnut streets.
The petition to the Government ask
Ing that the dormitories and athletic
facilities of all large American univer-
stiles be converted into military medical
universities during the summer vaca-
ton Is being formulated and Is to be
presented at future meeting OF the
class for approval. 1t will not inter-
fere with the proposition to be made by
Mr.. Miller.
The Importance of the discussion and
probable action tonight lies in the fact
that not only do the men in the medical
reserve feel that II Is necessary that
also the Government has recently advo-
Gated this strongly.
Major H. Martin. member of the Med
ical School faculty. who IL iii charge of
the Government courses in surgery for
army officers, Is said to be In favor of
both propositions. In fact, the sugges-
tion of petitioning the Government for
the establishment OF military medical
universities during the coming summer
was made to the senior medical class by
him.
The smoker of the medical seniors to-
night will be an effective one. for In
spirit and seriousness IL will surpass any
ever held before. Khaki will be much In
evidence. for many OF the faculty mem
bers who will attend are commissioned
army medical officers. Most of the $50
senior "meds" are enlisted In the reserve
corps and In few months they will
receive their commissions and also don
the khaki. Many classes of the medical
school have had reunions, but the 1918
scattered over the various battlefields to
help In caring for the sick and wounded
there will be slight possibility for them
to get together again. The mortality
among the army medical men has been
high In the present conflict. and this fact
lends little cheer to the near future of
the men who win assemble tonight.
A formal program has not been ar
ranged but the medical faculty members
will be asked to speak. Interesting topics
regarding army surgical work are to be
discussed.

ries working on Government contracts
where the wages are nslderably In ex-
cess of those paid for farmhands.
This exodus of the tilers of the soil,
particularly in Pennsylvania. has become
so great problem that It was decided
to take this method of obtaining sufil-
ciont number of men for agricultural
work as the only means of harvesting
bumper crops
The plan has been thorough worked
out and It Is expected to be so effective
that 1t will dispose of the question of
uniting the man and the job and make
possible the planting of a record acreage
this spring
The employment service in comment
ing on the new arrangement declares
that while there will be Il great de-
mand for farm labor in the coming
weeks, and there is a large supply of
labor on which to draw" the means
of bringing demand and supply together
are lacking until the former is asccr-
tained through the postofliccs."
JOBS FOR EVERYBODY
II is believed that this scheme will
eliminate the anomaly Of "A simultaneous
condition of jobless men and menless
jobs. As far as labor Is available 1t will
be supplied. and It IL believed that there
is enough to enable the farmers of the
United states to plant the largest acre
age In American history, provided less
attention is paid than usual to those
crops that require lahorers In numbers
disproportionate to their food value.
