Beyond verdun."
Tribute to 2. Morton Katz.)
OF 31Sth- infantry.

Beyond verdun. the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
And now and then there 10 Zion
Atop q grave the same as thine,
And, like the crosses, spread their rays
TO all the earth In many ways.
No more the cannonade 10 heard.
Instead the chirping Of the bird
With spreading wings. just like the ray,
Shall ever tell us Of the day es~
When truth and valor won It's right
To clothe the earth in justice light.
Amidst the battle din and throes
That torch was raised and forward goes;
That's why no cannonnade IL heard,
Instead the chipping Of the bird,
And you shall ever hear IL sing
That peace with vietory's on the wing.
Beyond verdun the peoples grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
And now and then there Is q Zion
Atop grave the same as thine,
In noble France this bits enhanced
BY Israers son, beyond Verdun. A-,s<

Gen. Carter's Message.

The letter of Gen. Carter said:
II am deeply interested in the cam
paign for the united war work which
will begin Monday morning, and
trust that you will convey to the peo-
pie of Baltimore my sincere sympathy
with the objects Of the different well
fare organizations which have labored
so increasingly for the American SOL
der. AZ
sit is my conviction that the things
accomplished by these organizations
will enable the Army to win the war
much more quickly and decisively than
could otherwise have been done. The
permanent good which will be done
the country by their work will be
held in grateful remembrance.
The people of Baltimore were de-
lighted with the opportunity of seeing
Smallwood running through the streets
just before the start Of the big pa
rade. They had read about him as the
conqueror of Tom Longboat, Johnny
Hayes. Dorando. Alfred Shrubb and st.
Ives and were anxious to give him the

Grit Of the Maryland Boys.
That the Maryland boys of the 31Oth
Howard Lee Landers of Frederick,
have been In the fray Is shown in the
letter published in the Baltimore Star
from Private Charles E. Pinning of
the regiment, In which he said he
hoped the war would not be over
till the Germans were badly licked
Private Pinning could not go into
details. because Of the censorship He
did say, however, that "the 7eth DE-
vision was handled pretty rough but
they did great work. driving the Ger
mans back about ten miles and gain
ing all detectives" He added that q
made by the lads who were trained

the roads permitted supplies being
brought up.
'.The country is fierce." read the
letter. "as all Of the roads are torn
the troops advance" Pinning was
up TO the front several times. and up
to this time has escaped without q
scratch. His letter, in part, read:
Knocked Out by Shells.
"At present we are some miles back
Of the battle front, resting. One week

Secretaries Looked Fatherly.

Camp Meade share In the parade
was a liberal one. as was to be ex-
pected. About fifty secretaries of the
''Y'' marched with fine effect, one
woman describing them as having a
"fatherly appearance" The secretaries
will. indeed, be pleased to learn that
they created that impression.
Several floats represented the 'Y''
work in Meade and thousands of copies
of Trench and Camp were distributed to
the spectators. who were eager to read
a regular, four-sQuare. 'all wool and a
yard wide" soldiers paper.
The Knights of Columbus were head
ed by Cardinal Gibbons, the Oldest
American preIate of that rank. Their
secretaries were numerous and their
floats of such a character as to make a
great hit. The Hostess House was re-
produced and the Little White House of
the Jewish Welfare Board was repre-
scented in miniature. The Jewish work
for the soldiers was admirably depicted
and comments of a favorable character
were heard about its floats all along the
route.
