By the Woods

How still the day is, and the air how bright!
A thrush sings and is silent in the woods;
The hillside sleeps dizzy with heat and light;
A rhythmic murmur fills the quietude.
A woodpecker prolongs his leisure flight,
Rising and failing on the solitude.
But there are those who far from yon wood
lie,
Buried within the trench where all were
found.
A weight of mould Expresses every eye,
Within that cabin close their limbs are
bound,
And there they rot amid the long profound,
Disastrous silence of grey earth and sky.
o youths to come shall drink air warm and
bright.
Shall hear the bird cry in the sunny wood,
All my Young England fell today in fight:
That bird, that wood, was ransomed by
our blood
1 pray you when the drums roll let your
Be worthy of our deaths and your
delight. robert Nichols, in Ardors
and Endnrances.

The Little Town

o some sing the song of the crowded mart,
And some of the prairies sweep,
The wild yields to many tiame-tipped
theme,
For others the foam-c~ped deep,
But l sing the song of the little town,
OF laughter and smiles set free,
For the little town
In it garb of brown
Holds ever the heart of me!
The glad little town where the elm arched
streets
Lead one in the friendliest way
To love-garnished homes where a welcome
That's as warm as June kissed day.
Where sckool-children play round the old
court square
In rollicking revelry,
And man has a care
For his neighbor, there,
Aye, that is the place for me!
I've answered the call of the city's lure!
The jostle, the whirr, the lights!
I've threaded the way of a mountain pass,
And stood on the snow crowned heights,
But still is the longing for dale and down,
For mountain and creenlng sea,
Since little town
In garb of brown
Has sheltered the heart of me!

The Poor Mans war

The curbstone critic fshed a fve-cent
cigar out of his pocket and aired his views:
Its not my war-or yours. It's rich
mans war. Let him fight it,
The man in the overalls with the dinner
pail, who had stopped to wait for car,
butted into the talk.
"Where did you get that bunch, friendl
My boss has two sons. Both of them are
at the front. Neither could have got ex-
emption if he had tried, and to give them
their due they didn't try, Now, take me.

and two kids. He'll stay at home to sup
port them. One works in a shipyard. He
will stay in this country. The third drives
truck. He'll 60 to France. You've got
to show me before I'll believe it's rich
mans war.
"He's making money out of the war and
I'VE re paying for it aren't wel''
''Some rich men are making money.
Some aren't. [ notice stocks are away
down. That hits them. When it comes
to paying for the war, reckon we're all
doing our share. The income tax and the
supertax and the excess profit tax all hit him.
It's the first war l ever heard of where the
capitalist pays his proportion. OF course,
the workingman pays, to. l pay on tobac-
CO. and the wife and kids pay when they GO
to the movies. That's right, too. They re
not necessaries. L like to think I'm taking
a wallop at the Kaiser every time light up.
No, sir; the rich man hasn't any monopoly
on this war. It's my war, too"

Substitutes

The Germans are feeding on substitute meat,
The -four there kneeding is substitute wheat,
Their cattle they fodder on substitute hay,
And life's growing odder and odder each
day.
They smoke with great loathing, substitute
weeds,
And substitute clothing is made for their
needs,
They substitute money and substitute cheese,
And substitute honey, from substitute bees.
The settle their quarrels with substitute law,
They substitute morals, for deeds that are
raw,
Their car wheels are creeking with substi-
tute grease,
And now they are seeking substitute peace.
And when they are peeved by real woe and
distress,
They're tricked and deceived by substi-
tute press;
Their thoughts and their ways are ever SC
odd,
While Kaiser Bill prays to substitute God

A Negro Soldiers Plea

Believe me, dear Judge, IN not guilty
OF the crime they have me here for:
But I'm negro American soldier
And I'm willing to 60 to the war.
And l won't hesitate till they draft me,
l despise that low bastard who Stacks:
My father fought under Old Glory
And I'm willing to march in his tracks.
l followed the Star Spangled Banner
In 'Ie struggle up San Juan Hill,
And erever it leads freedoms vanguard
I'm willing to follow it still.
I'm not lodging the charge that agains,
me
But I'm pleading to have one more
chance;
Of risking my life for Old Glory
With our boys in the trenches of France
So don't put me down as convict
Or send me away as slave,
Let me answer the call of the colors
And march over there with the brave.
Should fall on the field meath the banner,
know my loved ones will be proud
That l fell fighting there in the trenches
With the Star Spangled Banner my
shroud-James Clemens.

Leaves From Our Poets.
A Sweet Little Grille Like You

J. @.
Because of the faith and the love and the
hope of sweet tender grille like you,
There's nothing at all in this world that a
chap cannot find the ambition to do;
He'll play any game that means heaven on
earth for sunshiny slip of maid,
He'll do any deed that means holding her
goal, so she still may 90 on unafraid.
And that is the reason the boys went across,
with Do and Dare that is strong,
10 make glad earth and sweet Eden for
you, and to see that your dreams don't go
wrong.
And Somewhere out There he is dreaming
tonight, where the flags of our nation
unfurl,
VI his glad return to land he kept whole,
and the praise in the eyes OF a girl
The kiss fondly given as he went away, to
the playing the game-and his part
And the smile, and the tears that you could
MT hold back, are forever enshrined in his
heart.
And it doesn't matter your station or birth,
scrub girl or society queen,
There's something about you that keeps him
man, and a mem'ry that still keeps him
clean.
The prayers that you pray will go swiftly on
high, and the earnest fond hopes that you
send
Are building his strength for the task that S
on hand, and he's going to prove true to
the End.
And when comes the day, the bright glorious
day, when the strife and all fighting is
through,
He'll come back with a smile and be thanx-
fulto God for sweet little grille like YOU

PiCk-Ups

In Germany. The mohair camels of the
Hagenback menagerie were sold some time
ago because of the shortage OF provender
and were butchered to exc out the meat sup
ply. The larger animals yielded from 800
to 400 pounds of meat. The consumption
of horse meat and dog meat is reported to
be greatly increased, the former selling at
approximately 40 cents pound and the
latter at about 60 cents.
