On Anne Allen

The wind blew keenlv from the Western sea,
And drove the dead leaves slanting from the
tree
Vanity Of vanities, the Preacher saith
Heaping them up before her Fathers door
When saw her whom I shall see no more
We cannot bribe thee. Death.
She went abroad the falling leaves among.
She saw the merry season fade, and sung
Vanity of vanties, the Preacher saith
Freely she wandered in the leaaess wood.
AND said that all was fresh, and fair, and
good;
She knew thee not, o Death,
Her pleasant smile spread sunshine upon all.
We heard her sweet clear laughter in the
Hail.
Vanity of vanities, the Preacher saith
We heard her sometimes after evening
prayer,
As she went singing softly Up the stair
No voice can charm thee, Death.
Where Is the pleasant smile, the laughter
kind,
That made sweet music of the winter wind
Vanity Of vanitics, the Preacher saith
Idly they gaze upon her empty place,
Her kiss hath faded from her Fathers face,
She Is with thee, o Death.

words, to give any order to retreat before

the obligation to fight with all means and
no restrictions or limit, adding to the
weight Of the last battalion that of the ce-
termined will Of the chief in order to tin

years of war are proof that one is never

Jerry J. Haskell, special
correspondent, in "The Outlook" His in
troductory paragraphs give the tone of
his investigation and recommend what
this writer esteems the only fair method
of going about such inquiry. He says:
eve brought out the fat lady and intro
duced her to the audience, and she wasn't
as fat as her pictures on the billboards, and
the audience was disappointed. That is the
aircraft situation it was summed up by
man who has been connected with it from
the beginning. 1t probably isn't so far
wrong
IF America had made the most elemen-
tary preparation in developing an aircraft
industry before the war-preparations it is
almost incredible we failed to make-the
story would have been very different. But
given the situation that actually existed
and 1t Is hard to escape the conclusion
that, In spite Of undoubted blunders, the
men In charge have done a notable piece of
work.
"Avoidable delays there were-delays
arising chiefly from the defects of an mex
perienced and rapidly expanding organiza-
tion. The programme was foolishly over
advertised. Promises were made that could
not be fulfilled, and the public was stupidity
kept in the dark when the delays and dis
appointments came. But survey of the
available evidence gives reasonable ground
for belief that the essential policies were
correct
ut may be frankly admitted that men of
the highest standing hold views directly
contrary to those here expressed. There is
no such thing as consensus Of opinion.'
Reputable engineers remain who still insist
that the Liberty motor is failure and
that the whole policy has been bungled.
The greatest confusion exists. Is magnetic
ignition preferable to the battery type?
Is the angle between the twin sets of CYL
inders adopted for the Liberty motor hope
lessly faulty? Is its radiation problem
solved? Is the motor really practical or is
1t still in the experimental stage7 To these
questions the most diverse answers are
given by highly respectable persons.
"In view of all these contradictions, it
behooves the investigator to walk humbly.
The best he can do is to size up his sources
of information, check them against each
other and against the known facts, and
make sliowance for the personal equation"
New-York tribune., 1918-06-16

"Toughen the expensive steaks
Let the finest china fall and break.
Serve salty sherbet at the bridge party.
"Spill pot of hot tea ON the model frock
Of the honor guest.
"Put too much starch in fathers favorite
soft shirt"
Other instructions in this book were
given for various followers of American
Bolshevism:
"A farmland can make a mistake with his
scythe or hoe, or sow bad seeds in the fields
"a salesman can put stain on garments
and cause them to be sold as damaged.
"A tailor can spoil suit of clothes or
piece of cloth.
"Cabinetmakers can deteriorate piece of
furniture without the boss noticing it at
first sight.
"A bar Of soap in the boiler of railroad
engine would keep the soldiers at home or
else force them to march to the strike"
Mr.. Browne offers another definition of
Bolshevism near the end of the article:
American Bolshevism has no legally
formed organization, it has no charter, head
quarters, officers, bylaws or constitution.
Bolshevism is a state Of mind-a most
unhealthy state Of mind"

BOlshevism in
America

THE magazines abound in comment on
= the troublous new-old theme, Boil
shevism. Writers approach it now from
this side, now from that OF late par
tieular stress has been laid upon the grip
which Bolsheyism has attained here in
this country.
In "The Forum" for June Lewis Allen
Browne, discussing the proposition that
"the thing that disrupted Russia has
been seized upon by disloyalists in Amer
ica," delares that Rolshevism over here
"is an excrescence Of the political melting

G TRANCE, in the clutch of Hats
- Strange, with a world at War,
That we should love so many
We never loved before!
Home-reft boys in the camps
Not only your son and mine,
But all who are mates with Courage,
All who wear her Sign;
And the soldiers "Over There,"
From lands we have not known,
Fighting for US in the trenches
They are one with our own.
Men who are moaning in pain,
Ill, and broken, and blind;
Little children who hunger,
Sorrowing womankind-
Ours is the need to succor
And ours are the wounds to bind.
And, oh, the call to the heart
OF the foreign, cross-marked field,
With each unnamed soldier resting
On Honor, as a shieldl

That we are loving so many

After thy sweet song dieth
Into the wild summer air,
Whittier it falleth or fieth?
Soon would my answer be noted
Vert thou but sage as sweet-throated.
Melody, dying away,
Into the dark sky closes,
Like the good soul from her clay,
Like the fair odor of roses:
Therefore thou now art behind it.
But thou shalt follow, and ind II.
Nothing can utterly die;
Music, aloft upspringing.
Turns to pure atoms Of sky
Each golden note of thy singing:
And that to which morning did listen
At eve in rainbow may glisten,

Feedeth the lily beside her,
Therefore the soul cannot have
Station of honor denied her;
She will not better her essence,
But wear q crown in Gods presence.
