The Foe Behind the Lines

Yes, I'm glad to be soldier
When the cause is true and right,
And to wade through she-hoe shambles
To the thickest of the fight;
But the enemy before me
Isn't quite so bad, | find,
As the sneakng, snipeing traitor
Who keeps shooting from behind.
When see comrade staggering
Through the trench's slime and ooze,
With his throne of manhood topping,
And his vision dimmed with booze;
would rather see him treading
On the foeman's deadly mines,
For the bastard now that's got him
Is the foe behind the lines.
When the famished Belgian urchns
Fall and die for want of bread
And the stifed cries of hunger
Rise from homes of fostering dead;
While haf-a-hundred million
Bags of grain the brewers find
Oh, curse the heartess felon
Who keeps killing from behind

PRESS CRITICAL OF WORKERS
USING SCHWAB AS GOAT.

During the visit of Steel Magnate
Schwab in Seattle the daily press of
that city played up the "disloyalty'
of striking boilermakers at Oakland,
California. According to the news
papers Mr.. Schwab, in common with
all patriots, was much exercised at
the temerity of the workers in strik-
ing and thus delaying the shipbuild-
ing program. These stories were all
first page. with scare heads, and
placed all the blame on the employees.
Over on the financial and market
page appeared the telegraph story of
the strike to this effect:
Oakland. Cal. July 16.-Striking
boilermakers will return to work to-
morrow, it was announced after a
conference today of more than three
hours II the back pay they demand
is not forthcoming by August they
will call another strike.
The telegraph story Is illuminate
ing to those who understand the
practices Of corporations. The gov
eminent wage adjustment board hav-
ing rendered a decision found itself
impotent to enforce its ruling against
the corporation. The employers
stalled and stalled until it became
necessary for the employees to use
the weapon Of last resort-the
strike. Through the use OF a club
on the corporation to compel OBJ
servance of obligations to the men
and to the country the workers be-
came disloyal. in the opinion OF the
agents of big business.

ican First field army, organization
of which is under command of Cen
eral Pershing was announced last
night, will operate, it is understood,
in the area north OF the Marne from

out. The American divisions which
participated in that drive have been
under French command, but are
now included in the American FRS,
army.
General Pershing retains his post

important development in the organ
ization of the American expedition
AIRY forces to date. Creation of the
First army brings a great American
force under American command, but
still under the orders of the gener-
alissimo, Marshal Foch.
The size of the army has not been
announced, beyond the indication
that it contains five corps command
ed by Major Generals Liggett, Bull
lard, Bundy, Reed and Wright. Each
corps is composed of several divis-
ions with each division including
10000 troops of all arms while the
corps in addition will have its COM
plement of auxiliary troops, supply
troops. air squadrons, tanks and
heavy artillery.
