SEEN ON THE SIDE
When Ephraim CaIIs,
BY HENRY EDWARD WARNER


When Ephraim calls the echoing hills
Send pearls to skip the ripping rills;
And from the rugged breasts of peaks
Come bounding tones when Ephraim speaks
No silver-tongue in history's fame
Has ever set the world adame
AS Ephrams voice sets fire the breeze
Sends sparks of fervor through the trees!
The very birds cease singing. when
That matchless. peerless. prince Of men
Rolls Forth his call. his wondrous song
That beats the valleys sides along!
Come beasts and listen. como tho kline
In lowing ranks, and that long line
or creatures. lured to loving, falls
Adoring him. when Ephraim calls!
Caruso' When did 1ta1ys king
or melodies, sing anything?
Fen Pagllacci pales and pals
And fades away. when Ephraim calls!
broad-brimmd Ephraim. neighbor mine,
Q master OF the wandering swine
thou whose voice In cadence rolls
Among the heifers and the foals
Come. sing me once again that call
Whose accents RISE and swell. and fall;
And among your pigs shall be
To listen to your minstrelsy!

1t is decision most fair and just. There is
no reason for the prevalent discrimination
against women in the wage scale, but it has

America Changes Course Of War

- ERMANY'S challenge to force was ac-
NJ cepted by President Wilson in terse and
striking phrase, expressive of the American
purpose in the war, when at Baltimore he
said: Force, force to the utmost force with
out stint or limit. the righteous and
triumphant force which shall make right the
law of the world and cast 'every selfish do
minion down in the dust"
Since that utterance, American action has
conformed to that unaterable purpose Our
troops have been hurried to France at the
rate Of 900 a month, until we now have
over there 100000 as fine fighting men as
ever faced foe in any struggle recorded by
history. Already the participation of these
troops in the lighting has changed the whole
course of the war. There has been effected
complete reversal OF conditions. Since
July is the initiative has passed from the
enemy to the allies, who have taken the Of
fenslVe and are steadily smashing their way
to victory over front of more than 100
miles The Germans have been forced from
one strong position TO another until they have
retreated from nearly the whole of the terri
tory taken by them at such fearful cost since
they launched their superoffensiye on March
21. The force Of the allied thrusts has grown
from day to day, and the enemy has suffered
enormous losses in killed, captured and mill
tary supplies. Confusion regns in his ranks
and he has found it impossible to establish
new defensive lines OF sufficient strength to
withstand the increasing pressure of allied
effort. Under the terrific blows to which he
has been subjected, the morale Of his armies
is rapidly declining. News OF these military
disasters has reached the German people, in
spite of efforts at concealment, and the whole
civil population is approaching a state of
semipanc.
On the other hand, the allied peoples are
trem endously heartened over their successes
and everywhere there is growing confidence
in the early and complete triumph OF their
cause. This confidence is shared alike by al
lied military commanders and the troops fight
ing under them. Their fighting valor can
scarcely be restrained. They want to wade in
and finish the Job right away.
Nor is this all. America has enlisted her
whole soul in the struggle to win the war de-
csively and dictate the terms of peace Cen
eral March, chief Of staff. has expressed the
opinion that with 100000 American SOL
diers in France by next July the allies will
be able to go through the German lines at
Will, capture and destroy their armies and
march triumphantly into Berlin These
100000 soldiers will be ready at the time
indicated. Within ten days approximately
100000 Americans will be enrolled for
service. From theseAs many millions as may
be needed will be sent to the front to fight.
Another year. II not sooner, will witness the
complete collapse of the German military
machine and Germany on her knees begging
