AMONG THE MISSING.

Alone for truth, he struck blow.
Alone, he lost both life and glory.

He bravcly stood where shells were

With neither help nor friends applause.
And now his names among the mis-

Alone. he served his countryis need
Kept faith with God and fellow men
There Is no tongue to tell hrs deed;
HIS fame is lost To voice and pen
Yet this We know; whate 'er the test
True valor by man is shown
And he is always at his best
When he must fight for truth alone.
Among the missing Who cnn guess
The splendors that are lost to fame,
The courage and the manliness

Far from his friends, in dangers hour,
This missing soldier made his fight
And TO the fullest Of his power

Give and Give Freely.

This week is To be devoted 10 the
War Work Fund campaign, the intention
being to raise $l75, 1000, COO in aid Of the
various agencies doing such great work
for the benefit of our fighters abroad. To
Delaware has been apportioned the sum
of s75OOOO
There should be no difficulty ia col
lecting this sum. No longer do hundreds
of thousands Of dollars, or even millions
look large in the public eye. The war
has been indulging in expenditures that
call for billions.
Notwithstanding peace is at hand, there
will remain a great deal of work for our
soldiers, and the various agencies that
are looking after their comfort will need
the money with which to do this service.
And no doubt our people will give it,
promptly and checrfulIy.
Delaware has more than met expecta-
tons IN previous campaigns of this char
acter. So let us keep up our good record.

false report, our big yards and plants were
speedily empticd of employees who went
forth on iubilating parade, while entire
office forces and business stalls deserted
their posts to join in the jollification and

THE, WAR LORD.

The war lord had his little day,
ne flashed his cleaning saber;
''he is, the nations used to say,
"a most imposing neighbor. He's
talked Of wounds and death and
scars, until our heartstrings tingled;
he certainly looks much like Mars,
with Vulcan ntcrmingled He
poses as the ancient Hun, Attila,
bold and naughty; of course he
means it All in fun he's merely
rather dotty" In times of peace
the nations grinned at Wilhelm and
his posing; his war lord stuff was
50 much wind, no solemn threat
disclosing. And while the nations
grinned and smirked, and thought
themselves in clover, the Kaiser
and his cohorts worked TO put their
war graft over. They put it over
good and strong, they caught the
nations mapping; as centuries, the
years seem long, since Bill began
the scrapping. It's easy now for us
10 say, We've learned our lesson
fully, and nc'er again can royal Jay
spring stuff so wild and woolly
Alas, but we forget so soon, as
graveyard we go roamingl Is any
