saw what had been flashed on the screen! Not once did they even in- tlmate discouragem over their sad prospects. Not one word of com- plaint did they utter. On the con- trary, they all assurd their comrades that if it were left to their choice to go through it all again, or to remain in the background, every mother s son of them would De willing to suf- fer that excrutiating torture once more if by so doing they could hasten the final victory. They had only one regret-that they could fight no long CT for the cause to which they had given so much.
 Of such stuff is the American army No wonder that they are invincible in the field. Can anyone doubt the outcome of the conflict when such heroes as these are fighting for our country?

FLOWERS FOR "" MAN
Little Girls Bear Floral Tributes to Secretary and Present Him With Message of Welcome.

Paris, Sept. 6, (By Mail. )-How sin cere the gratitude of the French people is toward Americans is shown in a note which accompanied a gift of flowers from the inhabitants of a French village to the Y. M. c. A. sec retary of a foyer du soldat on the occasion of the feast day of Joan of Arc.
 Last night I had a signal proof of the sincere affectin these people en- certain for us Amercians," the secre- tary wrote in telling of the presen- tation. ''This being a feast day, several young folk of our village landed on me with a surprise more beautiful than you could imagine. Had a general and his staff come in a limousine to adOrn me with the Croix de Guerre 1 could not have been more pleased or honored.
 Bearing bouquets of roses, about 500 single flowers, they came, with the youngest, a girl, presenting, together with the flowers, a manuscript adorned with the tri-color. I was dumb with pleasure and amazement when the little one read their message. It was, of course, in French. l give you the translation, as follows:
 eoCC' NSNAhs allow us to address to you our best wishes for your happiness in this her festal day. We do not know how we can convey to you our gratitude for the kindness which you have always shown us and for your friendship toward us Also we feel embarrassed to offer you our assurances of atfec- tion However, be assured that they come from the hearts of your big friends and little friends and are as sincere as can be.
 "'You have left your family, your country your friends, to add your name to the names of our heroes. Yours is a notable task, and you have a right to our admiration which we are but feebly expressing through these few flowers. They are but the token of the friendship which we en- certain toward you and all the American people. Please accept them MT. John, as the expression of our sincerest thanks. Vive IAmerique! Viva la France.

them, not by foul means but by fair fighting. They have already demon- strated that the power of righteous ness and of democracy is irresistible; that the doom of autocracy is sealed and the day of reckoning near at hand
 What we must do in America is to keep the pressure high. Now that we have the Kaiser and his brutal hordes on the run, let us not relax effort, but intensity the way to win surely and quickly. That is the way to eliminate the Rhine; that is the way to open an American parade on Unter den Linden"
 ''No man can shirk his duty with out incurring the just 'reprehension Of public opinion," concluded the secretary. '"The acid test will be ap piled and the shirker whether from military service or in the field of la bor, or in the ranks of the wealthy will be unable to withstand the finger of scorn which will be unerringly pointed at him."

The Victory Loan Begins Sept. 28.
NOCTURNE IN WAR TIME.

 Star-hush and moon-lace across nights spring sweet sky, Newsboys with ''eXtras" in swift winged hue and cry On the square a soldier bids his girl goodby. Wing-song and ~ heart break, and steady march of feet. Bugles and roll of drums along the crowded street. Mothers with soldier sons in the com pany meet. Farewells 'twixt Youth and Age, smiles that break to tears, Train time and kisses, then someone disappears, Love wed with sorrow to walk the twilight years. Lamp glow and fire-shine, and pie lures on the wall, Letters and silence, and o the tears that fall! Service flags with stars of gold in memory of all.

The chimes in the belfry of South church are beautiful and their sweet tones are a source of pleasure and delight to nearly everyone We listen eagerly for them every Sunday We listened last Sunday,-and when we heard them, stood aghast, almost pet rified with astonishment, for the mel ody which foated over the city was none other than "Deutschland Ueber Alles', the national German anthem! We realized then the significance of the title, Germany above every thing, for here was a case of Ger many being above everything in New Britain, far above, in fact; up in the clouds, so to speak, whither vanished the pealing notes. Of c6urse the gen tleman who played the bells was only following his music to which hymn, and he had not the slightest intention of ex-tolling the virtues of Germany. But the little incident gave rise to the thought that some one might object to this melody, and that it might be well to omit it from the prescribed repertoire. We hate chimes of Berlin should suddenly peal forth The Star Spangled Banner.

lz|9S Ilt s4ving. This fourth loan #S fn he in every sense of the word the "Victory Loan, for it will fur nish inc sinews of war which will in- sa~A final and complete success to the Allied Cause.
 The response made in previous loans by those in our community who were born outside the United States, or in whose veins flows blood of an- other nation, has always been grati- flying. It has been pleasure to note the enthusiasm with which they con- tributed to the national coffers, and it is to be expected that they will be just as generous in the coming loan as they have been heretofore. But during the loan period, which begins next Saturday, a special effort must be made to induce them to give even more freely, because the loan is the largest this nation has ever attempted to float, and consequently each in- dividuaI must make an extraordinary endeavor to increase the subscription he has made on previous occasions.
 It has been the custom in the past to have an occasional address made in their own language to those among us whom we call Foreigners, in the interest of the Liberty Loan. When ever these residents have been ap- pealed to in this manner, there has been marked increase in their con- tributions. But, so far as we know, there has been no special, particular effort made to have the methods and objects of the loans explained to this class of people at regular intervals. Now. then, if deal of good has been accomplished by an occasional appeal to them in their own tongue, why should we not have a regularly es- tablished corps of speakers who shall devote their efforts entirely and ex- clusively to that element not of na- tive extraction? If necessary, why may we not have a separate group of local speakers, conversant with. one or more European languages, who shall, at regular intervals, according to 8 prescribed schedule, address our residents of European extraction in their native language during the loan, just as the official four minute speakers at our theaters address the audiences in English? Nearly every European element in this city has it's own hall or meeting place, and with the cooperation of the respective clergymen of these various units, Liberty Loan rallies could be easily arranged and capable speakers pro- vided Such a policy, if pursued tactfully and constantly, would be productive of even better results than has been the case in previous loans. It would afford the means of making repeated, stirring appeals to 9 group of residents comprising a most important factor of our popu- lace, and such appeals, in addition to

Value of Work.

likeness standing in the midst of unattempted tasks is always tending to humility. Work touches the keys of endless activity, opens the infinite, and stands awestruck before the im- mensity of what there is to do. am sure we all know the fine, calm, sober humbleness of men who have tried themselves against the tasks of life. It was great in Paul, and in Luther, and in Cromwell. It is something that never comes into the character, never shows in the face, of man who has not worked.-Phillips Brooks.

"A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE

To the sorrOwing parents and other
relatives in Upton county who have
lost loved ones on the battle front
and in camps and hospitals during
the awful war that has just closed,
we commend the following gem from
the Houston Post.
"Gone West" Over the purple
hills and beyond the softly glowing
rim Of life's day the warriors spirit
takes its flight. Out Of the morn
ing across the white archway Of noon
tide, down to the sunset! Out Of the
din and clamor, out Of the bitterness
and strife, out of the fierce passion
and combat, into the dreamless silence
whose shadow mark the pathway to
the stars. Beyond earth's darken-
ing horizon, through the curtained
gloom of night, far upon the short
less sea of fadeless light! Out ct
the agony of llfe's Gethsemane, over
the quaking summit Calvary into
the realm Of glory, where Gods BAN.
ners never furl, where victory is sure!
So the stainless knight of stainless
cause moves down the west, where
earth's last glimmer fades and dies,
and into Gods spreading dawn, whose
light is eternal, whose breath is cool
and sweet. "Gone West!"
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1918-11-21
