Tho Volunteer.

A volunteer from Louisa who is sta
toned at Camp Green, v. c., sends the
following for publications:
why didn't l wait to be drafted
And be led to the train by band
And put in q claim for exemption
oh. why did hold up my hand?
Why didn't l wait FOR the banquet?
Why didn't | wait to be cheered?
For the drafted men get the credit
While merely volunteered.
And nobody gave me banquet,
And nobody said a kind word;
The grind OF the wheels OF the engine
Was all the goodbye that heard.
Then Off to the camp 1 was hustled,
To be trained for the next half year;
And then in the shuttle forgotten--
was only volunteer.
And maybe some day IN the future,
When my little boy sits on my knee
And asks what did In the conflict.
And his little eyes look up to me
VIII have TO look back as I'm blushing
To the eyes that so trustingly peer.
And tell him missed hcing drafted
II was only a volunteer.

has long ago proved his intense pa
triotism. In wars of the past he has
shown that his valor is second to none,
and in patriotic undertakings in civil
life he has done his part when once
that part has been made clear to him."
The organizations in charge of war
recreation work have not forgotten the
colored troops. AS much is being done
for them pro rata as for the white
soldiers.
The war camp community service
division, which takes care of the SOL
der in his relation to the adjoining
community, serves the soldier regard
less of color. 1t establishes hostess
homes in the cities adjoining the
camps for the use of negro troops
when off duty. Dinners, dances, and
vaudeville shows are furnished. From
Washington, for instance, each week
amateur or professional entertainers
are sent out to Camp Meade to anuse
the men. Recently the teachers of the
Dunbar high school (colored) gave a
French play and afterwards repeated
the same drama in English.
One of the purposes of the commun-
ity service is to fight the German
propaganda that has been busy trying
to poison the minds of the colored peo-
| pie. This took the form of stories
that the negro troops are to be sent
to France first and are to be sacrificed
to save the whites. The whisper ran
that many more than the proportion
ate number of colored men had been
drawn for service. Leaders of the
negro race went out and answered
these charges in meetings, explaining
how baseless they were.
The war has brought to the negro
a better chance for national self-ex-
preston than any event in his history
and he is making the most of his OPP
portunity. Much of the best talent of
the race has been absorbed in meet
ing the need caused by speeding up
war industries. Graduates of colleges
and technical schools have found a
ready field for the use of their knowl-
edge and trained skill. The demand
for educated negroes has exceeded the
supply.
The proper training Of the negro is
a problem which concerns both races,
To leave one-third Of the colored peo-
pie undeveloped is failure to utilize

BoLsHEvIK SIMPLICITY

Amsterdam.-Typically Bolshevik
was the arrival in Berlin of the Rus
sian ambassador, "Comrade" Adoiph
Joffe, according to accounts received
here. There was no special train, the
party having been put into private
car attached to the Konigsburg ex-
press.
Two petty officials of the German
foreign office, the reports said, were
on the platform, and the reception ac-
corded the Russians was brief. The
Germans were somewhat amazed
when Joffe introduced Frau Marie
Hirschberg as the first secretary of
the embassy.
The Russian embassy building, be-
ing the private property of the for
mer emperor, was not available for
the Bolshevik ambassador. He refused
a carriage to a hotel and walked to
one just opposite the railway station,
saying, "This will do for me-" The
other members of the party found
shelter elsewhere and the hunt for an
embassy was begun at once.

addition 10 relieving the shortage, this
i,lau would conserve tho country's gold
supply and tend to set up favorable
balance of trade with AincriCa-madc

To trade pianos for woods IS one Of
the most logical schemes that could be
devised in tho present war emergency.
Ii is said that Australia is now the
largest market in the world for tho
piano player. and that the islands de-
mand for pianos has been stimulated
10 such an extent that prices ranging
from six 10 seven hundred dollarc are
now being paid for instruments that
would bring less than $500 On this

formerly regarded as WORKOUT instru-
ments are now being rebuilt and Put

about 1000 pianos would be able 10

The idea OF making pianos work for
the government in war times is not al

more than half OF her pianos be nscI
