THE SONG OF LIFE.

In every heart there is a chord a In tune with all that's good and true. And if you touch the golden string Twill sing it's songs of life for you. Perhaps 'tis hid by toll. and pain, Or sins dark shadows. thick and . black,
 But once you touch it with your love, The music will come singing back. There's something sweet in every life. Some hope that rises. pure and
 strong;
 Ard love's the keynote sweet and true That turns life's discords into song.

A FouNpAr,oNLEss ALARM.

If there had been any foundation for the claim that the German war ships which have been delivered to the allied nations could not be distributed without friction. and that as a con, sequence it would be necessary to take the vessels out and sink them and thus waste a billion dollars, worth of material to avoid trouble. it is quite evident that the same sort of pro- cedure would have to be followed re- garding the merchant ships which have been taken over from the former central nowers. If division could not be made regarding warships it would be equally impossible to do any better with other ships.
 But there has been no thought of Intentionally sinking the merchant ships and the assurance from Wash ington is to the effect that such an idea regarding the naval vessels has never been urged or supported by Americas representatives in Europe. It has been announced, however, that the cargo ships will be used fer the meeting of the needs of the allies and when that service has been performed they will be divided among the nations in accord with the plan which the peace conference will agree upon. That has a sensible sound. and certainly what can be done with that type of vessel can be done with those which have been constructed for the purpose of war.
 It is thus made quite evident that there is no chance for a quarrel among the allies over such a matter which is so susceptible to a reasonable ad= justment. It is indeed unfortunate that the impression was allowed to go out that any other course would be pursued, but certainly if there was any thought of destroying the naval ships it is evident from the expressions from all sections ef the country that it would raise the strongest kind of op- position on this side of the Atlantic.

were mere eamoufage on the face of the earth-great, gaunt holes allowed the moonlight (and the rain) to filter through. And on broken buildings the doughboys have made a speciality; in plaster, mud and debris they have found a resting place; weary backs have found a haven on cement floors.
 Then into dugouts, mere holes in the ground. the youngster who was going up the line" was thankful to crawl, to escape starry pieces of shrap- mel when F'ritzie's artillery let go and sent shell after shell into nowhere The average tin helmeted Tank has squirmed, crawled and wriggled in these rabbit holes, perhaps some straw, brought from goodness knows where, providing the original Ameri- can mattress. tfench-made. In all these hunks and billets he has found the cootie-if he hasn't made his acquaintance, then it is a safe bet that he was never up the line There is only one cootie, to be sure but the statement is general There's cootie everywhere, not the
 same identical coatie, but belonging to the same famiiY-and families grow over night; hence the suffieiency of supply and the inpossihility of ex- termination.
 Along the hillsides of the Marne, in | the valley of the Vesle, in the fast
 neses of the Argonne-where our boys 1 have met the Hun-there the cootie 1 has kept him company You may not 1 think that is true; they'll stick to a
 man under shellfre-and they'll keep him in motion when he longs for
 sleep.
 l Machine gunners who know how to
 sweep the enemys front with their l rat-tat-tat machines have yet to 1 learn the law of separation-for neither Hun, shrapnel nor changing weather conditions can subGue the
 same old cootie. He is there to the last.
 The c0otie is not an optical Illusion; l there)is one cootie. bit the one applies
 in name only. There are some mil i limos of cooties in France; how many are with the A. B. F. the censnr will
 not permit being nown, and dough
 boys are having a hard time findina
 out. One Yanl4 whe has been up the line and who saw plenty of the fire works very soberly wrote home: 'T have not seen a single cootie ir France"

A BAD SHOWING.

Very little satisfaction is to be gained by the head of the postofiice department out of the effort to es- tablish the aerial mail service be- tween. New York and Chicago for it proved to be such a failure that it vas necessary for the time being to abandon it. This does not mean that such flights are not possible or thar such service will not be established but it cannot fail to give the impress sion that the postofFice department should have given more attention to its preparations and been reasonably sure of it's success before attempting anything of the kind.
 IL is all right to say that the rea- son for the fizzle was that the ma chimes which had been turned out by the war department were made on rush orders and had not been tested for the service expected of them, and that t was not known how they would behave on long flights, but it is perfectly evident that all such should have been avoided by the making of the tests before attempting to inaug- urate such a service. There was no special reason why 1t should have heen established last week. Next month or later would not only have done just as well but as 1t works out, much bet ter if by waiting a creditable showing could be made.
 The things which were neglected iu this instance were the very things which should have been carefully de- termined. It doesn't reflect favorably upon the postoffice department and Judgment which Is used by it. and il certainly cannot inspire confidence or the part of the people in ;he advocacy by Mir. Burleson of the government control of the wire lines of the coun- try, even if there was any inclination on their part to be interested in sucl a proposition.
