THE LONLIEST MAN.

He sits in his place, gaunt and
gray, specter of his former self. His
sunken eyes are haunted with fear
At the softest footballs he starts,
shivering at thought of assassins cold
steel.
For him the clock of doom has
whirred-the fatal stroke impends.
The remnant of his proud army is
flying before the allied host like the
leaves before November's blasts. From
the street comes the murmur of a sui
len populace.
He dozes anon and his dream of
world empire-a dream belated by
two thousand years, gorgeous but
nodded in madman's brain-clutch-
es him again. He sees a domain
stretching from the icy waters of the
Baltic to the pomegranate groves of
midas ocean. "Mine-all mine!" he
mutters. He sees a world bearing
him tribute on bent backs. He sees
former freemen of every cline and
race blanching at his frown, prostrat-
ing themselves at his feet and humbly
murmuring, "Sire!"
He wakes, maunders, draws his
cloak closer. Earth hates him. Earth
tudinous lips, calls down upon his
head the vengeance of just God. He
beholds a world reeling under the
shock of great guns, lurid from the
flames of burning homes and church
es, deluged with blood.
Before him floats a CHASTITY panor-
anna of babies bones mouthed by
cells on the bottom of the sea; horrid
crustations fastened upon the white,
dead breasts of women; innocence de-
filed; millions of husbands, sons and
fathers turned to carrion; and, as in
a glass, he sees himself, the worlds
byword for perfidy, cruelty and lust.
All his handiwork! All the price of
his compact with heIli
But yesterday the word of Caesar
might have stood against the
world;
Now lies he there and none so poor
to do him reverence.

FROM THE FOREST FIRE REGION.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 10, 1913
Dear Theresa (Funk) and ALI
Luckily we are all saved from the
horrible fire that went through here
II which many lost their lives and
homes. Many of our friends are
dead and many homeless. l could not
let you hear from us before as we
were scattered all in different places.
Could not get any word whether we
were all saved or not until yesterday.
1t sure was terrible experience. I'M
agine the feeling we had We could
not get home as they would not al
low any women to board the trains
for that part of the country as all
trains were to be used for relief
trains. They took 139 collins down
near our place Sunday, the day after
the fire, so you can imagine what our
thoughts were. Moose Lake was once
a beautiful little summer resort but
is now mass of ruins. More than
500 people lost their lives just in that
place alone. | was there two weeks
ago and it don't seem possible that
there can be such a change. At that
place they dug long trenches and
buried all the people in one grave
The place my folks sold last fall
burned to the ground. There isn't
even a tree left, and the people who
lived there didn't save a thing but
themselves and their car. The people
east of us lost everything. The fire
came right close to our house but
they saw it coming for six miles and
| tell you they did some fighting to
save themselves and they sure were
lucky and we all are. The sky look
ed like burning flames as far as you
could see and we had to wear goggles
for days to keep our eyes open from
flying ashes and smoke. We are all
helping here in Duluth to care for
the poor refugees. There are thous-
ands who haven't anything to eat or
wear. Well | will send you the pap
ers so you can read all about it far
better than | can write and tell you.

through here so you want to watch
for them when they come to Lancas-

TO KEEP UP OLD GOTH.
All Former Members Requested to Write
to Gen. Edwards.

A movement is afoot, initiated by
many citizens of New England, to pro-
vide a rallying place and a place for
the renewal of old friendships and over
seas comradeships of officers and men
who have seen service in the world war
at any place or in any capacity. The
plan IS in its infancy, but it is hoped
and expected that it will develop in such
manner as to provide place of meeting
and recreation and Of entertainment for
soldiers who remain in the service or
who have left the service.
Major General Clarence r. Edwards,
United States army, who commanded
the Goth division 1.-THE Yankee division)
in all the great battles in which that
division participated up to within few
days of the signing of the armistice, and
who is now in command Of the northeast
ern department with station at No 90
Chauncey street, Boston, desires to get
in touch with all the men in New Eng
land who have served in the army since
April 6, 1917.
General Edwards requests that such
men, who now reside, or purpose in the
the future to reside in New England,
communicate to him, at the above adj
dress, their names, their organization
and present addresses as soon as may be
convenient. It is particularly requested
that, in the case of any man who has
been wounded or gassed in action, that
fact be stated, with the place at which
the wound or injury was incurred.
We must not let the associations of
this history making period die out by
reason of the Rehabilitation now in pro-
cess 1t is the purpose OF this project
to perpetuate and make enduring these
associations, and that the achievements
and valor Of the men Of New England
may be recorded in a betting manner
and may not be forgotten.
A record Of names, organizations and
addresses will be kept at headquarters Of
