Dat in the ocean the drowning sailor chokeS with the salt water
and reels into the blackness of death, his struggles subsiding, his stiff
ening corpse at last sinking, attacked by The wolves of the sea. Some
whore else Il woman is sitting knitting by the lamp in a quiet kitchen
The kettle is singing on the stove. The baby i growing in the cradle.
Over in France the battle of the Mmne is raging The dcafening
thunder of the great guns is pierced by the shricks of the dying men
sweating. the fierce pulse heating in their throatS, their lips dry and
eyes hot. Somewhere else a little group Of country people bow thclr
heads in an Iowa church. The organ plays softly. The choir intoncN
- long Amen. Outside the summer brcc2gS play with the lush leaves
A bird whistles In the hedge. The horses tied TO the racks bow their
heads ia the warm sunshine.
In III" crowded restaurant is seated a Young couri" They are in
love and are smiling. Their eyes burn with hope. Youth overlows
their hearts. All around them is the chatter of happy voices, the
thrum of the orchestra, the swish of dancing feet, myradS of lights.
Somewhere else, IN his dark cell, a man sits solitary, clad in striped
clothing. waiting for his hour Ia die.
In the swarmiug street of the city >umS dirty children are play
ing. hawkerS are shouting their wares, bcdraggled women lean from
their windows 10 get a breath of the polluted air Somewhere else there
is a cool lake The willows bend over It's edge, the swallows skim lis
surface, the vast sky is mrrored in its bosom, insects dronc in he air,
boundless and mspcakablc peace and space and beauty are here.
Somewhere the sun shines and the activities of men aud machines
resound. Somewhere else II Is night, The brother of death laws his
soft hand on all living creatures.
Somewhere, dreamed the Beato Angelica, the happy saints walk
among the asphodcS and the songs of angels make glad the hearts of
the redeemed. Somewhere else, dreamed Orcagna, the wicked writhe
and shrek under the fortunes Of misshapen demons.

Keep Your Liberty Bonds

XVJITIIN three weeks time the people Of the
w United States recently raised six billion dol
lars and loaned il TO their government, n
loan Unprecedented IN all the history OF the world.
This was done in spite of mn epidemic of influenza,
which prevented public meetings and cost the PEG
pie huge sums of money IN medical bills and IN loss
of time, and in spite also of peace rumorS that in
many instances tended to make the success Of the
loan seem less vital. Some twcnty-onc million
Americans joined in this loan. Every Federal Re

due to the fact that the legislature has not been
