In Spring

l do not know which is worse when
you are away:
Long gray days with the lispins
sound of the rain,
And then when the lilac dusk is be-
ginning to fall,
The thought that perhaps Won
may never come back again:
Or days when the world is a SHIN
nler of blue and gold,
sparkling newly all in the dear
spring weather,
And with a heart that is torn apart
by pain,
l walk alone in ways that we went
in together.

Vote Of Credit Of 7O0,- /
100000 Pounds

London, Aug. lin asking for q
vote of credit Of 700.0o0,000 pounds
in the house Of commons today, An
drew Bonar Law, the chancellor of
the exchequer said that the largeness
of the amount was not due to increas-
ed expenditure but to the fact that
parliament was about to adjourn. He
hoped. he said, that not more than,
one molD vote would be necessary be-i
fore the end of the fiscal year.
The vote asked is the largest in the
history of the country. It is intended
for carrying on the war until the end;
OF October.
The chancellor said the expendi-
ture on the army showed an increase
of 100000 pounds over the esd
mates. Loans to the Allies and the
dominions had been less than the -
timates by 22,700, 900 pounds.
