THE QUAIL AS A SONG-BlRD

 Like Shelley's slsylirk, Bob White Is a disembodied voice. The afternoon falls toward evening. and we see the bobolinks and the rleedo@larks con- sciouslg making music. Ne note the portiy robin and the fitting sorg spar row. We rejoice in tle gIeam of the undulating gcidanch ani i'll the pert familiarity of the friendly wren I:ut from somewhere, near Ut hand or far away, always from some hidden. grassy, fairy dale. there comes song that is quite incomparable It is ever a song from an invisible singer. If anyone ever saw 8 quail in the act of singing he is a seareher with the patience of Job-which i5 Of Goub.e meaning, for Mr. Herbert 5S.

 Bob White fig lat poor rendition of the liquid s2erdor of the quaiI's song. l. carrles no idea of the honey sweetness or ths profound depth of the call.

It is probably true .hnt the | quail is moved to vocalism by the coojness that precsdes rain, but whether the two notes of More wet or the three notes of No more vet are heard depends largely cn the prox- in1ity of the nearer. As many of the notes of the wood thrush are audib:e only to the listener who creeps to front seat in the forest so tfe hr<t 1 note of the quails three may be un- 1 heard across the pasture by al of 1 hand interpreter and No more wet
 may be proclaimed as a sure prophecy , of rain at hand.
 There is, indeed. no adequate ren- dftion Of the quail's song.

A RUINED DOLL HOUSE

"The vast bulk of our American
soldiers" writes a correspondent on
the American front in France, "are
home men. Gentle and kindly things
recalling their own homes in the west
appeal to them as nothing else does,
and the awful ruin of the French
homes past which they have been
marching mile upon mile and hour up
on hour has seemed more distressing
to many of them than their own losses,
"They accept the ruin as inevitable,
however, giving the Germans the ben
eft of the doubt, but when in clearing
up these ruins they come upon indis-
putable evidence of Teutonic savage

lean showed me doll house which had
been stamped fiat under a German
boot with the dolls laid round it each
with its face ground into the floor by
a nailed German heel:
"There we're much too horrible
things in the house-things beyond de-
scription-but the American rightly
picked that out as most characteristic
and most dastardly. With look on
his face that would have warned any
opponent to keep his distance, the
American said:
"'The next German that tries to
murder me had better make sure that
he makes no mistake about it"

SIGNIFICANCE IN
FALL OF LAON

Paris, Oct. 14.-Still another veto.
ry has been added to the long trail Of
glory blazed by the allied armies. The
lLaon plateau at last has been won
browning the Cambrai-StQuentin anC
champagne offensives.
The maneuvers so skilfully elabo.
rated by Marshal Foch and so ably
carried out by Field Marshal Haig and
Cen. Pctain enabled this great achiev-
ment to be accomplished without the
loss inseparable from a direct attack.
The result is nothing less than the
ruins Of the entire defensive system
built up by the German general staff
since 1914, for the corner stone of it
was the Laon plateau.
1t was on the Laon plateau that the
German line was pivoted. 1t was to
turn it that the offensives of 1915 and
1916 were carried out. 1t was against
1t that the campaign Of 1917 was pre-
Imaturely broken. 1t was from the pla
|teau that the sixth great drive of the
Germans toward Paris was started.
It's fall is the prologue of the total
liberation of France, for the progress
made by the British in the vicinity of
Douai puts the Germans in such a po-
sition that even if they can manage
for time to cling between Bohain and
Solesmes, while they evacuate the
pocket of which st. Gobain is the bot
tom, they will be obliged to get back
along the frontier and it is more than
likely that they will not even have
lime for that.

WHAT WILL YOU SAY?

What will you say when the boy;
come back
From the toll of war, Ger its bloody
track.
Their hands are stained with mud and
gore,
And ears made deaf by the annon's
roar?
What win you say when they march
along
To the stirring voice of the battle
song?
Will your heart be glad, will your
head be high?
What will you say, when the boys
march by?
What will you say when the boys you
knew,
Finish the task that you wouldn't do;
Through days of torture no tongue can
tell,
And nights spent close to the gates of
hell?
Come back with the silence that black
war brings
To lips that could whisper of nameless
things?
Can you face them, then, with a fear
less eye,
And conscience clear, as they pass
you by ,,l3l-,.t
What will you feel deep down in your
heart,
When their trampling feet make your
pulses start?
Will your conscience whisper, "I've
done my best
For those who smiled as they barred
each breast
To the thrust of bayonet or shock of
ball?
Did you lend your money? They gave
their all
Will you feel like thief who stole
their chance
And left them dead on the hills of
France
Perhaps they helped you to amass the
gold,
The houses and lend that you gloating
hold.
Life held for them. the same sweet
harms,
But they left it to answer wild wars
alarms.
They asked no promise, they begged no
aid,
But they went, each one gled, unafraid
What will you feel when they march
you by
With martial tread and their heads
held high?
You have held the strings of your
glutted purse,
Till your ease and luxury has seemed
curse;
Iou could not shoulder a gun and go,
'ut truth stands sponsor, and this
you know;
rod loaned you the dollars you clutch
with greed,
Md dollars will buy what our soldiers
need.
When they ask you the question;
"What did you do?"
What will you answer to these boys
you knew?

The happiest unit-at least the girls
claim they are the happiest units
stationed in the City of Discomfort,
dubbed this name because it is far be-
hind the battle lines and all the girls
are eager to get to the front. Here
they are given two dances week-one
by the Y. M. C. A and the other by
the Y. W. C. A. They are the honored
guests of all entertainments and many
theater parties are given them. Then
they have an athletic field of their
own, presided over by the Y. W. C. A..
The girls in this town are quartered at
the Signal Girls Club, French hotel
taken over by the Y. w. c. A. for the
American "hello girls"
Their life is not all play. The girls
are under strict military discipline.
Each is allowed four passes week
two late and two early. The late pass
es permit them to stay out until mid
night.
Military authorities have recogniz-
ed the presence of the girls and their
value to the army by granting enlisted
men who take them to dances to return
to quarters As minutes late in order
to accompany tn girls home.
These girls live in a domestic en-
vironment. They accept invitations
of officers and enlisted men alike
Both officers and privates may call on
them at the Signal Girls Club. Their
rank is forgotten, but military cour-
tesy is maintained.
The army not only adores the girls
but it looks out for them and protects
them in every way. Military police.
men in the City of Discomfort keep
guard Throughout the night over the
clubhouse.

WHEAT NEEDS FERTILIZER.

At the university farm, Knoxville,
where experiments are carried out to
ascertain crop yields, an experiment
has been conducted for over ten years
to find out whether one year crop ro-
tation Of cow peas and wheat could be
made permanent farming practice
on any soil. In some cases the cow
meas were removed as hay, and again
they were turned under as green ma
nure. The wheat is considered the
chief money crop. On some of the
small experimental fields, wheat is pro
duced with COW peas to see how that
farming practice could compare with
where COW peas are grown. Various
combinations of fertilizers are also
