A SONG FOR HEROES

., the New Church Messenger. A song for the heroes who saw the sign And took, their place in the battle line They were walls of granite nd gates of brass; And they cried out to God, They shall not pass, And they hurled them back in storm of cheers. And a song for the end, for the glorious end, And the soltlers marching over the bend Of the broken roads in gallant France, The homing heroes who took tho chancc Who looked on life, and with even breath Faced the winds from the gulfs of death. Their hearts are running on over the graves over the battle-wrecks-over the foam On to America-on to homo!
 And a song for the others, the heroes slain In Argonne Forest-in St. Goban- Tn the flowery meadows of picardy- In Begiun-in Italy,
 From brave Montello to the sea- A song for the heroes gone or ahead To join the hosts of the marching dead song for the souls that could lightly fling Sweet life away as little thing
 For the sake of the mighty need of earth, The need of the ages coming to birth. All praise for the daring God who gave Heroic souls that could dar the grave Praise for the power He la i'd on youth To challenge disaster and die for truth What greater gift the High God give, Than the power to die that the truth may live. Glory to the Lord, the Hero of Heaven
 He whose wounds in His side are seven Glory that He gathers the heroes home. Out of the red fields, out of the foam Gathers them out of the Everywhere,

Enjoys Ned Brace stories

T am greatly enjoying the stories of Ned Brace about his wonderful trip" said H. Key Milner. T hear them spoken of in many places He has the knack of bringing together the things the average rnan and woman wishes to know about the overseas sit- nation. My, but it was great trip. l envy him the opportunity which he had of seeing things at first hand about which I can only read.

1 at daylight tie troops woke up, the ship was well out to sea, and there was not sign of land to be seen. One ne- gro soldier who had never seen or heard of the ocean, leaned against the rail and looked awesomely at the vast stretch of water. "Oh. Lawd." he eiac- ulated. de levee am bust"
 !; F #
 A few days out when the boat be- gan to toss and the waves became mountainous and menacing, a seasick negro soldler looked up to the SKY from where he lay on the wet deck miserable and terrified. and groaned. "Oh. Lawd. please make dat ocean come 10 nttenshun."
 Sti!l another sea story Is about the negro soldier for some reascn or an onther being sent back to America The toat ho lett England on was tor. pedoed and he with others picked up and taken back ,o England Again he sailed. and again the beat was sunk and again he was saved and talk en back. The third time the ship 1nade the trip ali right. AS she entered the New York harbor and the Statue of Liberty fove i'll view, this n.gger looked her ever from tfe rail. and said: Lady, lady. yo' sure do look good to me, Lut if ever youse wants to see me again. youse will have to turn aroun'. :"

Back In Citizens Clothes

'T felt queer all day Wedncs- day" said Byrd Haley flor 1t was the first time I had worn citizens clothes in over n year, and to be quietly walk ing around in 'cit's apparel was novel experience. It is strange how quickly one gets accustomed to the khaki and how conspicuous he feels when he has doffed it. I now return to take up my professional work feeling that the training and discipline l got in the army was worth all the time I put into 1t. Of course, my only regret is that I failed tc get overseas"

FAMILY BARBER SHOP

From Soldiers Letter in the Oregon Journal

The old man had the first chair, boy of IA the next, a boy of 12 the next and kid of Il the next, and they were all pretty fair barbers at that I sat down in tho chair presided over by the boy of IA and he went at me with pair of clippers, jabbering all the time, His English--inostly prcfane-was excel-

putting the Hohenzollerns where they can do no more harm. As long as they enjoy the hospitality of neutral country, even though it is by no means lavish, they are potential of mischief and menace to the future security of Europe.
 Exile to some place and under strict conditions yet to be determined may solve the problem, As for actual pun ishment, the former Kaiser is getting that now and the crown prince in a less degree. To fall from a dizzy height and become refugees from jus tice, leaving behind them the wreck of all their homes, their country at the mercy of her enemies and the German armies humiliated in the dust is the bitterest pill the Hohenzollerns could possibly be made to swallow.

 Considering the high and mighty pretensions of the Hohenzollerns, their present plight is no bed of roses. Yet. the question remains to be settled whether or not they are really "down and out" Only few days ago plot was unearthed in Berlin to restore the former Kaiser to his throne and in a recent interview Frederick William said he had not "renounced anything" :"

Artists to Tickle
 President s Palate

IF President Wilson keeps his sea 0 legs on board the George Wash- ington while steaming to Europe he will fare sumptuously
 Louis Seres, chef at the Biltmore, is the generalissimo of the George Washington's galley-kitchen is more applicable to the culinary department of floating hotel. He has 25 assist. ants, not one of them a tyro. They are specialists trained in an exact. ing school, and each is pre-eminent in his own sphere, whether it be pas try, soups, sauces or whatnot. At the head of the pussy-footed walters who will attend the presidential table is Jean Malnatti, maitre d'hotel at the Biltmore.
 It is hardly necessary to run over the past accomplishments of M. Seres to realize what an important per- sonage he is and how well he under stands his business. Naturally he comes from France, long famous for its cooks. In the old days when royal ty was less in disfavor Louis catered , to crowned heads. Kings and queens, princes and princesses, dukes and duchesses have marveled at his skill and praised him accordingly. He has sdelighted" Colonel Roosevelt md basked in the expansive smile of Judge Taft We are assured that NJ. Nal natti is almost as noted headwaiter as M. Seres is a cook.
 Therefore, if the President does not succumb tc that atrocious mala ly, nal de mer, he will sample dishes fit for the gods. It is equally important that M. Louis maintain his maximum efficiency, for while chef of inter- national fame, it is stated that he has never cooked at sea before.
