THE SEA WOLF
JAMES MARSHALL.

The sky serene beams smiling down
Upon the peaceful sea;
And as the ship they gambol round,
The children laugh with glee.
The waves make music as they break
Before the pressing PROV
The eulls hang lanquid DER the wake
And languid DER the bow.
The pail Of all eternal night
Ascends from out the sea;
And stilled by an empowering fright
Are the children's laugh Of glee.
The waves break DER with sullen roar
A torn and mangled PROV
With piercing screams the sea-birds
soar
Above a vanished bow.
The sky serene beams smiling down
Upon no mighty ship,
The waters swirl and hiss around
% The human souls that slip
Into the bosom Of the deep;
Into eternity
And from on high there comes cry.

HUNS LIE ABOUT
WHEAT CONSERVATION

Friends OF the Kaiser in this country
have again made their appearance with
untruths about the quantity OF wheat
now available in this country. They
have started stories moving that there
IS no need 90 save wheat any more
because there is enough for our needs
without further conservation. That's
absolutely untrue.
The German sympathizers through
such measures help TO destroy the
loyalty Of luke-warm citizens and
make the task OF those who are work.
ing for all war measures the harder,
They start such rumors very clever
ly and under cover Of so much secrecy
that It is very difficult TO trace the
rumors TO their source.
Herbert Hoover, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, on Sunday, through the
churches OF every denomination, ap-
peafed TO citizens 10 greater conserya-
tlon. He asked that those who could
should refrain from eating anything
made from wheat until the next har-
vest. The consumption OF wheat to
those who use 1t Is cut TO One-third
the normal amount. But those who do
no hard work. Mr.. Hoover asked that
they pledge themselves to be wheatles-
until September so that those who did
hard work might have the small
quantity Of wheat apportioned
Mr.. Hoover also restricted the use Of
meat to two pounds for each person
per week over four years OF sge, and
this two pounds included the bone o.
fat. In other words two pounds a.

EVENING JOURNAL Reporter with
General PershinO's Army In France.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May Colts hard 10 see ones

The Story Of Colonel Blank.
Not many weeks ago wrote a story
about the first American battalion that
was sent into tho trenches IN Lorraine
10 hold, permanently. a sector OF that
front; and in my story spoke particu-
larly OF one cllcer who. above every
other ofiicer Two met IN France, ] con-
sldered most capable OF leading our
boys In actual battle.
In 1898, he was a boy in his early
twenties down In Tennessee; and when
the call came FOR troops for the Span
lsh-American war he volunteered as a
private and was sent 10 Cuba. Al the
close OF the war he. was a sergeant. In
his veins flowed the blood Of a long
line OF fighters. he chose the army for
life career and was sent 10 tho Phil
lppines as a lieutenant.
He had advanced TO the grade OF cap
tain in the American army by 1914 when
the present great war began.
A high British general had had a
chance, during a tour OF the Philip
pines, 10 see this American ofilcer on
duty al close range and he was so
struck by his soldlerly qualities that he
recommended that a commission In the
British army be given him.
Captain Blank threw In his fortunes
with the British ard up until October
OF last year. when General Pershlng
induced him 10 come over TO the Amer
lean army with a commission as major,
he had fought in Flanders, France, the
BALKANS and Italy and had a total OF II
wounds TO show for his more than
three years OF service.
The night he led our boys into the
trenches / stood beside the horse on
which he was mounted and talked with

as green manure in orchards, and in
commercial paintings it has been
thought well of by the farmers who
have used it. In western Oregon and
western Washington it can be grown
successfully as a seed crop, the yields
averaging from u to 10 bushels an
acre. 1t has not been sufficiently test
definitely its value in localities where
common vetch is now being grown but
as it requires conditions similar to the
common varieties, it seems probable
that it may serve an excellent purpose
in this region as well as in the western
United States. 1t is of high feeding
value and makes good hay in pas
turage.
Under average conditions purple
vetch will stand winter temperature
of 10 degrees above zero with little
or no injury. Where the temperatures
are not likely to fall below this mark
it should be SOwn in the fall. With
colder winter conditions, spring seed
ing is essential. In localities where
common vetch has been grown success
fully and the necessary bacteria have
been established in the soil, it is not
necessary to inoculate for purple
vetch.
Purple vetch should be drilled in
close drills or broadcasted at the rate
of 60 to so. pounds of seed per acre.
Harvesting can be done best with
common mower having swather at
tachment. It should be cut for hay
during the period from full bloom to
the formation of the first pods. The
yields average about 212 tons of hay
per acre. When harvesting for seed
the crop should be cut soon after the
lower pods are ripe, at which time
the upper pods will be mature and the
plant will be carrying a maximum
quantity of seed. Purple vetch is less
eXacting as to the time of cutting than
common vetch, as the seed skaters
less readily. Thrashing may be done
with an ordinary thrashing machine.

NanoIeon Still Points Way.

In tiny French village that Is
hardly a village any more, since shells
almost removed it from the earth, one
building has tower standing I'M
touched. A platform tops this tower
and a miniature figure of Napoleon
stands there facing and pointing
toward the positions held by the Ger
mans.
Thousands of shells have whizzed
and exploded by this tower, but none
has touched the tower or the figure
of Napoleon pointing northward.
Thousands of Americans, thousands Of
trucks, quantities of guns and am
munition and supplies have rolled over
the main street by this figure point
ing the way to the boche during the
past few weeks.
Everyone has marveled that the
tower with the miniature Napoleon
withstood all bombardment, and many
an American passing the statue among
the ruins has remarked how appro-
ornate is this defiant figure pointing
the way.

Great MiIIenniaI Hope.

The horizon of the hopes of man Is
never quite so clear that the exact
moment Of sunrise or of sunset may
be marked. But great millennial hope
Is none the less to be treasured as
the goal of all striving. Just when
Its object will be reached-if that OBJ
ject be an enduring peace, and If the
means for securing it be that perpet-
ual alliance of free nations which now
appears to embody the most promising
plan yet devised for its attainment
none may certainly declare. But what
ever methods may be pursued to this
end the hope behind it and the con-
hdence that 1t is a reasonable and
righteous hope are the highest justi-
fications for everything that every
body can do to achieve the victory of
the allies with whom our nation Is
Joined. There is no weapon in the
spiritual armor of the noncombatant
that needs more constantly to be kept
bright.-M. A. De Wolfe Howe, In At
