O. According to the story connect
ed with it, the poem was evidently
written by some one in that section,
presumably a young lady. 1t was
packed in a box of things sent to
a soldier at the front. He returned
the poem to his home town to be
printed with a view Of trying to
discover the author. The poem has
been widely reprinted and comment
ed upon:
AS long as the flowers their perfume
give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live.
Live and live a million years
With nothing to drink but Belgian
tears;
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
But the sailed brine of a Scotch
mans curse.
I. would let him live on a dinner
each day
Served from silver on a golden tray,
Served with things both dainty and
sweet,
Served with exerything-but things
to eat.
I would make him a bed of silken
sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and fllets OF
lace,
And downy pillows piled in place.
Yet when to it's comfort he would
yield
It would stink with rot of the battle
field,
And blood and brains and bones of
Should cover him, smother him, and
then
His pillow should cling with rotten
clay
Clay from the grave of a soldier boy
And while Gods stars their vigils
keep,
And while the waves their white
sands sweep,
He should never, never sleep.
And through all the days-through
all the years,
There should be an anthem in his
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set OF
sun,
Moaning and moaning and moaning
wild
A ravished French girls bastard
child.
And I'd build him a castle by tie sea
AS lovely a castle IS ever could be,
Then I'd show him a ship from ovel
the sea,
AS fine a ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat
Yet scarce does she touch the silver
ed sands
Scarce may he reach out his eager
hands
Than a hot and hellish molten shell
Should change his Heaven into He'll
And though he'd watch by the wave

An Open Letter
To Senator Guion:

To Senator Guion:
The Kings Daughters is large
organization composed of represen-
tative women of this town. They,
in accordance with a resolution passed
at a recent meeting, urge you and
our other Senator and Representa-
tives to get bill passed by Congress
prohibiting the use Of any food, feed
or fuel in the manufacture of beer
or any other malt liquor. Their re
quest is based on patriotism and a
desire to see every business in Amer
lea to help win the war.
The little children have given up
their candy; they also were deprived
Of schools for need Of coal. Wives
and mothers have given up their sons
and husbands. Our soldiers have
given up their lives. Capitalists have
given up their railroads. Men and
women everywhere are giving their
time and labor free in the Red Cross
work and other patriotic enterprises.
Every family in this broad Land is
living on war bread.

prehend the colossal change that IS
taking place in the lives of such men
as these. Picture the bewilderment
the sense Of loneliness-with which
they will first eaounter their work,
If they are abroad two or three years
it is equally difficult to imagine the
views Of these men on their return
to their native land; but one thing is
certain: intellectually they will be
broader men with greater vision than
when they left here. That two mil
lion men over there will come back to
control the destiny Of two hundred
million people over here.
"What they are to think and do in
their leisure hours, during these next
terribly important months, depends
largely upon the extent to which the
work and influence of the "Y" are
enabled to keep pace with their ever
changing and enlargillg needs"

Sentiments Of Our Fighters

A truly Inspiring letter has been
received by the Rev. Father Souby
from Vechel Eugene Telotte, with the
United States naval forces in Europe.
81 am glad to have this letter pub
lished," said Father Souby, "as it
shows what fine sentiments fill the
breasts Of so many of our true Ameri-
can boys who are now performing
active service. May this letter serve
as an emulation to others. This is a
volunteer and only 18 years of age.
His family as well as his home town

him."
The letter follows:
U. S. S. Bushnell, June 6, 1918.
Rev. A. Souby, Morgan City La:
Dear Father Souby-Your letter
was received yesterday, and l was Ger
tainly glad to hear from you. / was
somewhat surprised to get your let
ter. and it pleases me greatly to know
that you have not forgotten me. /
am glad that you have kept in such
good health and l hope you will al
ways be blest with that same kind of
health. AS for me / have never felt
better in all my life, and since my en-
listment I have only been i'll once, and
then only for few days. The eli
mate here is fine, and I think that is
in part for my good health.
Father, l thank you for your kind
words and compliments, only I fear
you are praising me too highly in
some things. Your letter surely went
long way towards cheering me up,
and if I and the rest Of the "boys"
could receive letters like yours more
often this life would be much more
pleasant to US. I do not mean to say
that I am dissatisfied, for I. am not
On the contrary, am GLAD TO BE
ABLE TO BE OF SERVICE TO OUR
COUNTRY. But still, you know, I
suppose, what it is to be thousands
of miles from home, Stationed in q
lonely place like this one we are in.

pie in the United States who unpatri-
otically refue to make a sacrifice for
their country.
Up to the present time the national
army has had ten thousand times
more trouble with the liquor people
than with the Germans. The loss of
man-power occupied IN the mhnu-
facture, distribution and sale of
brewery products is immense. The
loss Of efficiency occasioned by drink
is beyond computation. When our
men are being drafted, ships COM
mandeered, railroads taken over and
all channels Of trade, commerce and
private enterprises are being sub
jected to the use Of our government
in the defense Of liberty, justice and
freedom, to allow the liquor traffic
with its baleful results and extrava-
gance to continue, becomes "Class
Privilege"
I It being a fact that alcohol rem
ders our men and nation less efficient
to win the war; and,
Whereas, alcohol, in the form cf
whiskey and other liquors stands in
the way of food conservation, be-
cause it prevents Mr.. Hoover from
saving the grain which is now being
used in making beer and fruit ip max
ing wine, we beseech you to vote out
and completely abolish all whiskey
and all other, Intoxicating liquors now
in the United States. We urge you
to do this as war emergency.
