Misgivfngs

Only month or so ago they were in
clined to wonder among themselves whether
after all the American army in France was
not merely the entering wedge of a great
plan for national exploitation.
Ridiculous as this may sound to one who
knows America and does not know her
splendid sister republic, this feeling never
theless existed, and for time grew rap
idly. 1t is doubtful whether a reversal of
conditions would not inspire the same popu-
lar opinion in the United States.
The trouble lay in the inability of French
men in general to understand the lmitless
resources in men and material Of the United
States. When the first few regiments of
doughboys landed at "a Port in France"
directors of the republics destiny knew we'll
enough that they were merely the scouts of
far mightier and utterly invincible force
that would presently come to France if the
war continued long enough

Friendly Dragon

The people of France had no idea that we
would boo so loud When Joffre and his
mission appealed for men to aid France. a
little more than year ago, the French did
not appreciate the power that would respond
to his words. They did not dream Of the
dragons teeth he was sowing or what a
bumper crop of fighting men would spring
therefrom.
Ever since that time ships have been
dumping men and materials into Franco
with the regularity of an endless chain car
rier. The people were first in transports of
enthusiasm, then they were amazed then
bewildered, then dubious, as thew saw the
foundations being laid for the largest fight
ing machine ever transported across seas
Its size and power would be dependent onlv
on the length of the war. And the French
people. much as they love our men indiyidu-
ally, looked upon this monster that was
sprlnglng up among them and observed his
preparations to smash Germany with mixed
feelings, part satisfaction and part doubt as
to what the final result would be.
During winter and the early spring one
heard the same complaint from the lips of
hundreds of civilians:
why all this preparation? Why all this
construction? These people are planning tn
stay hers twenty-five years at Least. 1t

From a German Prison Camp

tFroBa The London Natioa)
Spring comes so quietly you cannot tell
When it is near.
Nor eye nor ear
Could we'll discern the little buds that SVEN
The things that change the year;
Only feeling in the air!
Joy comes so quietly you cannot know
Where sorrows part,
Nor by what art
The weary hours of life can lovely grow
And long sought rapture start;
Only feeling in the heart.

In Concrete

lOr commercial exploitation OF France!"
In Concrete
This was not the opinion of the peasant
class alone. 1t was voiced in restaurants, in
cafes, in railroad trains. Doubtless German
propagandists in France did their best to
help it along
AS our preparations grew, as our ware
houses and barracks hospitals and docks
were constructed, this feeling increased
also. 1t never came to definite belief in the
theory that the United States was animated
by some Interior motive. 1t was only doubt
and bewilderment.
The trouble lay in the fact that France
did not appreciate that America was operat-
ing three thousand miles from her base of
supplies. The British expeditionary force
is scarcely more than twenty -four hours
away from London. The American expe-
dictionary force is two weeks or more from
New York.
Because Of this, the foundations that we
are building, the stores that we are laying
aside, must of necessity be more elaborate
more permanent, than anything France has
seen before.
Our hospitals might very we'll, as the
French have said outlast twenty-five years
Our great warehouses might still stand
when the present generation has passed In
the. ports turned over to us by France our
engineers are constructing enormous con-
crete piers to expedite landing, Our work
is typical army work 1t is solid and will
long outlive it's need We are building
foundation that will support any structure
the needs of the war may call forth. But
the French did not understand.

Where strong 1cinds ouer the foreland
Scatter the dust Of suns,
Ind zchero the lark has spoken

Come broken from the guns
And where they passed unending,
Was music on the breeze,
And glow of fires descending,
Strange light upon the trees,
And fire from earth to Heaven,
Upon the air-ways riven,
And songs CT souls now shriven,
About the feet of these.
Broken, they came rejoicing,
And whole of mind, and free,
Where sympathy has voicing,
And cleansing waters be,

And hands. and feet, and being.

In Love that takes no fee.

Great beyond praise or censure,
In that we still aspire:
What matter reputation,
When by sure salvation,
Ye shall escape stagnation,
Midway 'twixt moon and mire:
But it shall be remembered,
In days beyond all wars,
In all lands where, gray-embered,
Dead campfres face the stars,

Not to ourselves we labor,
Not to ourselves alone,
But each man to his neighbor,
BY stick, and field, and stone,
By city street, and alley,
By mountain, and by valley,
Where carrion vultures rally,
And where the jackals moan.
In one gigantic motion
The tides of Life sweep free,
And whelm towards that ocean,
Their goal and destiny:
The waves may break and scatter
The hopes may drift and shatter.

The Climax

The necessary inactivity of American
arms while we were training our men in
France also called forth complaint from the
people.
"They do not want to support our armvv
was the most frequent accusation "They
hope to take the place of it."
These slow poisons, working among the
masses of France, very probably with The
enthusiastic cooperation of Germanv,s
agents, might have brought about serious
results n time. But the perfect antjdote
was found only little while ago.

Hurt Feelings

The uneasy feeling regarding the motives
of the United States was increased bv the
ehclency of the army men. They have
utilized whatever suited their purpose, after
paying a generous price for it. But they
have trampled at times upon French senti-
ment.
1t has been hard for Frenchmen to forgive
the tact that we have stripped a road near
Bordeaux of its splendid shade trees to
Dulld warehouses, even if we did paw an
enormous price for the privilege There
nave been other toes that we have trod upon
An officer of the quartermaster's CORPS an
preached French commander with a re-
quest for lumber. He was told that it could
not be obtained in France.
you've got great big wood" the Ameri-
can said, "only few miles from Paris. Let
US buy that"
tie meant the Forest of Versailles.
frenchmen would as soon think of using the
stones of Notre Dame for Notifications.
And when Americans did cut down the
beloved trees of France, their manner of
going about the work shocked the people.
III Frenchmen had been doing the job they
would have saved every chip, every twig, al
most the leaves themselves. Yankee for
esters ripped through the woods as though
they were back in Oregon. They used only
the best of the timber. The rest they
burned up to get it out of the way. That
hurt the French people.

CON TINUE
FARM WORK
IN COUNTY
Business Places May Remain Open But
Full FOlce Must Go to Fields
Says Council

BY action of the Council of Defense
which held a meeting this morning
to discuss farm labor problems, plac-
es of business in Chickasha will re-
main open this afternoon though a
full force of men will be sent to the
fields as usual.
Owing to the fact that conditions
which necessitated the early close
OF business houses and the cessation
of practically all work in the city
have been relieved the emergency is
now such that same can be taken
care of without inconvenience to the
business men. This step is not con
templated to reduce the number of
volunteers who go to the fields, Alger
Melton, chairman Of the council
states. Four hundred men will be
needed to wind up the work today
according to the farm bureau.
Following is a copy of the resolu-
tions drawn up at the council meet
ing this morning:
Resolved, that it is the sense OF
the Council of Defense that the labor
emergency is now such that same
can be taken care of without closing
places of business; that business may
be open, but each place Of business
is to furnish one-half of their male
force, who are to report to their re
speotive captains for work as usual
also that police be instructed to see
that no loafers or idle men be ex
cmpted until the labor situation j:
entirely over"
