Two Popular Songs

Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of President Wilson. who visited Camp Pike last week and sang for the sol dlers. called upon the men to accom- pany her in singing The Long. Long Trail - and according to Erwin Funk. Y. NJ. (. A. secretary, they fairly made the rafters ring. This Is said to be the most popular song now being sung in the various military camps.
 Let's Help the Red Cross Now" is also proving very popular. Both of these chorus will be used at the school house nsxt Sunday night
 Let 5 help the Red Cross now.
 Lets help the Red Cross now:
 When shot and shell are flying
 They help the sick and dying
 Cooling each fevered brow.
 So why not.

 We all can help somehow.
 When the fight starts they'll be 1T It
 Do your share and help them win 1t.
 Come on let help the Red Cross now There a long. long trail a-winding Into the land of my dreams. Where the nightingales are singing And a white moon beams. There's a long. long night of waiting Until my dreams all come true. Till the day when I'll be going down That long long trail with you.

Common Sense Needed.

Captain Lee Woolfolk of the l53rd Regiment came up from Camp Beaure gard Sunday on ten days leave of ab- sence. He has asked us to call special attention to the letter published in last Tuesdays Gazette, from Major General Hodges, the commanding officer at Camp Beauregard, to Governor Brough. In the letter General Hodges says that the eight words, 'I want to see you, Please come home, have brought more misery and anguish to the sol diers at Camp Beauregard than any other cause, and have made deserters of many men who would otherwise have been good soldiers.
 It hardly seems possible that any American woman would be capable of making 1t unnecessarily hard for the men who are sacrificing so much for their country, yet General Hodges let ter indicates that this Is frequently done, and often results in confinement Tn federal penitentiary for the very person someone was so anxious to see.
 The government should establish censorship and rule about all discourag- ing and "weepy waily" letters.
 American women, one and all, should strive to get the view point of Helen Rowland, as eXpressed.in the following verse. which she has entitled Soldier ettes''

 When we first sighted the boat. ' said Dr. Curran, 'she appeared as a Swedish merchant vessel and passed us. Three hours later she appeared again, still flying the Swedish flag, but when she came within close range, down went the Swedish flag, and up came the Ger man war colors.

 Seventy-one of the men on our boat were killed and then, before she sank, Germans came on our boat and system atically footed our possessions and also the governments.
