MY HOME ACROSS THE SEA.

The guns were roaring loudly,
There were flashes in the sky.
And everywhere around me
| could hear a dreadful cry.
1t was not for sweetheart,
1t was in a different plea
Twas for a gray haired mother,
Who lived across the sea.
At last the guns were silent,
Which meant we were over the top,
What was that I saw before me
But one of our lads drop,
I rushed to where he had fallen
TO see who it may be,
1 was stricken for a moment, it was
My pal, from DER the sea.
His eyes were growing glass
His breath was coming fast,
He tried to say a word or two
Which may have been his last.
He said when this war is over,
VIII you do this much for me,
Go to the place I love so we'll,
My home across the sea.
You will find a little lady,
Who is gentle kind and sweet,
For she is my dear mother,
Who you have come to meet,
And if I am not spared to see her,
Just tell her this for me:
T died because I loved her,
And my home across the sea.

The new order from General
Crowder classifying certain occupa-
lions and ordering that all men within
the draft age who are employed thus
must either change their occupation
and go to work at some productive
job or join the army has caused no
little CONSERVATION among the younger
store clerks and others in the now
banned employments here. In the
local clothing stores are a large num-
and, if the order is strictly enforced,
these will have to give up their Jobs
by July 1 and seek productive employ
ment under pain of being indicted
o. into the army. This, despite their
classification or exemption claims.
The same holds true in number of
saloons where the clerks are within
the draft age and likewise a number
of local young men, known as loafers,
gamblers, pool room hangers on, and
followers of fairs, will have to go to
work, some of them for the first time
in their lives. 1t is surprising to note
the howl Of protest that has already
arisen here. One we'll known store
clerk who has been very patriotic
verbally, and who is out of the army
only by virtue of deferred classical
ton, sent up a terrible yeip when he
heard the news He at first decided
he would not go to work in a factory
but finally changed his mind and said
he Would-if the government would
give him job here where he could
drawn down $35 or $40 per week.
Another young man, a. bartender, did
not object strenuously to the order
but he did object to working in a fac
tory. AS soon as this becomes effec-
tive, he declares, he is going to apply
for induction into the service as he
prefers fighting to being enclosed be-

wide enough to permit this sort of

to back in and out several times to

traffic should use the east side en-

tain and that Is that no vehicles
should be allowed to drive north on

the safety zone in front of the Y. M.
