While sullen raindrops fell:
And in the darkness breathed PRAYER

Whom we had loved so well.
She was gentle little thing
Whose greatest JOY was minist'rinK,
But calm and unafraid.
In nurses uniform she dressed.

And now In Flanders field she lies
Under sullen lowering skies 1
With other hallowed dead.
She bears no grudgs that we decree

For her single star.
The star, that symbol that we priza
OF service and OF sacrifice
And duty done in war!

In that grim struggle over there.
The dangers she must face.

American Troops in Italy

a P'LACSE will be heard in every allied
country when Americas decision to send
contingents Of our troops to th, Italian
front becomes known. That decision may be
expected any day. Already it has been fore
Swallowed by the unofficial reports which have
come from Washington, and 1t is stated that
as soon as the American forces actually land
on Italian soil the War Department will
herald the fact
Already British and French troops are
fighting side by side with the Italians on
the Piare. Already Italian troops are fight
ing side by side with the French, British and
americans in France. 1t only remains for
the American flag to be unfurled in Italy to
cement the military union which the great
war against German autocracy has forced
upon the world
1t is easy to foresee the heartening effect
OF the dispatch OF American soldiers to Italy
and particularly so at time whom Austria
driven 10 desperation by her domestic
troubles as we'll as by the iron hand Of her
ally is throwing herself with wanton cour-
age against the Italian lines. All Italv will
acclaim the arrival of the new corners All
Italy will realize for the first time that she
has a sincere friend and stanch eupporter
III the United States.
During the past year there have been seri-
Gus misgiyngs on the part of the Italian
hcople in tho degree Of concern wh2li her
aiiies have felt for her. This is no secret.
II has been repeatedly indicated in thc
Italian press and has been referred in the
parliamentary debates in Rome The feeling
seems TO have prevailed that the allies were
interested deeply only in the fate of their
own armies, and were Indifferent to the bur-
dens which Italy assumed when she threw
, her lot with the entente.
Evidence is about to be given the people
CT Italy, however that America feels the
same solicitude for them that she feels for
the French, the British and the Belgians
and this evidence will be the mos: sub
stantal that any nation can give an ally
1t will consist OF American regiments
equipped to fight shoulder to shoulder with
! the brave men of Italy and determined to
! stand shoulder to shoulder with them until
! victory has been achieved

100000 gardens in seven months will gain
546,000,000 hours. which are equivalent to
62,250,000 days Of eight hours each or
lS6,9S6 years. This time is considered sufi-
Client for raising the equivalent Of the sup
plies consumed in six months by an army

be seen that great things may be accom-
