After you died, a few stray letters
 came, Bearing your name. A friend across the sea Wrote with the old light laughter;
 tenderly She wished that you were with her,
 never knowing That now for you the winds of heaven
 were blowing; That you were faring to a distant
 bourne, Whence your white feet would never
 more return And then there came, Like little bundles of flame, Bright colored ribbons-red, and yell

 as you. A bt of lace, a bit of gossamer, A rainbow sheaf. likeN dreams that
 never were And when l saw them, through my

 Eastmont Pripp meditatively blew a perfect ring with a bev- elied edge.

 Eastmont Pripp slightly rais- ed the extreme tip of his right eyebrow, and blew an oval with star in the centre.
 Then there was Aristotle Levy, the greatest virtuoso the mouth organ has ever knOWn," pursued Vestibule, 'as well as Bolshevik Skish, the cigar band king. Neither one touched to- bacco."

THE GREEN -FYED MONSTER.

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, following in the footsteps of Sena- tor Chamberlain of Oregon, takes up the attack on Secretary Baker and the War Departm ent. Senator Wads- worth of New York also fires a shot in the same direction. Before the bitter pill administered the Military Affairs Committee of the Senate by may expect that each member of this tribunal will be heard from. When each man has had his little say the nation will settle down to more serious things than a political fight on the War Department.
 It had been thought in many quarters that Secretary Bakers an sver to his critics when he appeared hefore the Investigating Committee last week was sufficient Therein the nation was mistaken. Some men do not know when they have had enough MT. Baker must now an- swer Senator Hitchcock's criticism
 He must then take up the complaint of Senator Wadsworth. After that ne might be expected to answer ad- verso criticism from all the hostile members of this same committee, and there are seventeen mem bers on the Senate Military Affairs Commit tee. Not all, of course, are "agin tn government" Yet there are enoreh to embarrass the War Department and the Administration. That is, if the American people were not wise enough to know what is going on; not intelligent enough to see the way the hands are being played.
 Those Senators who have already spoken against the War Department, and those who may follow with a liberal distribution Of iargon and dia- tribe, possess the wonderful knack or pointing out the weak spots. And, in a machine as big and powerful as the war machine of the United States, there are weak spots No one will sainsay that fact. There would be weak spots, and perhaps weaker spots, if the machine were in the hands of the Senators, is just what they would like, in meas ure. The men standing on tho eoor of Congress and in the Commits. rooms of Congress are for the meet part suffering from an over-indu- eence of jealousy. Someone else has l the lime-hght. Someone else is in | the center of the stage. That. in a | on Baker.

On a sector of a battle-lin in France, three thousand miles away from home, American troops last week underwent a baptism of fire. For twenty-two minutes the American front was cannonaded. Shells of many calibres came from the German artillery. After the action, the list of dead on the American side numbered two. The wounded have now been officially counted at sixteen, instead of nine as first reported. How many dead the German hordes picked up is not estimated. How many wounded Germans there are after this engag ge-
 nent there is no way of knowing, un- less the Emperor's war office gives out the figures This much, however, IS
 known: American aviators, after a
 cornplete view of the damage wrought
 by their compatriots, with essed a
 number of wrecked dugouts and trenches. The Americans in their first engagement of the war rendered a good account of themselves, which was merely living up to tradition.

WHAT THE WORLD AWAITS.

 until next month or next year; but it
 is on the way. The signs are unmis-
 takable. A world, war weary and
 Peace is dawning. The first faint
 hickering of the light is coming up over
 the dark horizon The clouds of war
 are being pushed aside. They are moving off into the high ethereal re- ginns They are being dispersed. When the flash comes, as it will come, the worlds greatest ws-story will have been told. After more than three years of sickness and death and desolation, there is at last a gleam of hope. It is strengthening the minds of men It is encouraging the hearts of women.
 And when it comes, this peace that we have all been awaiting, it will be a good peace, a lasting peace, a peace erected on a foundation of perma- snency. For there must be no other kind of peace There must be no quasi-peace, no pseudo-peace no ar mistice, no truce, no mere temporary laying down of arms to be resumed when the Hohenzollerns again feel @ like going on the warpath.

 Yes. you said whole mouthful in last Fridays issue of the Herald when you stated that the fuel ad ministraeion had been very con- siderate of the coal dealers, and af- ter perusual of their new schedule of prices and reasois given for same as printed on your first page one would be inclined to think that the aforesaid considera ton was suScepti- hle of considerable expansion. If, as the dealers state, the coal comes frozen almost solid what does the consumer get? Some coal plus some ice and if enOlgh to more than pav the extra alleged cost of unload ing. so in reality the consumer would not be getting his moneys worth of coal at the old price unless the deal- CTS can explain how you can add ice to coal without increasing the weight. As to other conditions mentioned in regard to delivery they seem absurd. as we have no great depth of snow, in fact hardly normal, and it seemed as if such excuses for price raising uou1d only be reSOrted to by those who want to bleed the public to the last cent.

This includes the wheatless Mondays and Wednesdays; meatless Tuesdays; porkless Saturday and one wheatless and one meatless meal each day as previously announced, and the re- striction of bread or roll portions to two ounces at a meal. This latter provision is new. The exception bearing upon it is that if corn, oat- meal or bran bread or rolls are served a portion may not be more than ounces to a person at a meal.
